How to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard

Last week, I blogged about the two upgrade options to Snow Leopard: purchase the $29 (around P1,690) single-user license upgrade (or the $49 (P2,870) five-license Family Pack) or avail the Snow Leopard Up-to-Date Program  for P590 (only for those who purchased their Macs on or before June 8, 2009).
These two options are only for those [...]

Thoughts about Boot Camp from boot camp.

It’s just one of those moments I have everyday. Random thoughts that run through my head while I’m doing something mundane like having lunch, malling, or driving (dangerous, I know). More often than not, the things that fill up my head are just silly, crazy things. There are rare instances though that some of my [...]

10.4.3 hacked; Linux user: destroy Microsoft, OS X; Security’s a non-issue; idiocy of the church, revealed!

Maxxuss has hacked 10.4.3 and made it run on an Intel. Apple keeps trying to come up with a scheme to disallow their current OS to run on unauthorized Intel machines, but hackers seem to break those limitations quite easily. What will Apple’s next move? Ever heard of the “Harrell-Dvorak prophecy?”
While the Mac OS keeps [...]

As strange as it may sound, iPods are actually helping Creative products. How? According to report in Stuff, since iPods are flying off the shelves in New Zealand there has been a shortage of the popular digital music player. So what’s a disappointed consumer to do? He goes to the next store and buy a [...]

More of that Tiger goodness

I’m off to more Tiger reviews. I’m looking for some dirt on the new OS and found from the not-good department at Slashdot that webpages can install widgets on Dashboard without your permission. A widget named “Zaptastic” can be installed in a PC running TIger by just going to a website. The widget can only [...]
