A New Commodore 64?
The original Commodore 64 was a complete game changer in the personal computer realm. No personal computer of it’s time could come close to it. Countless games, dedicated users and the most innovative demo scene made it, IMO, the greatest computer of all time. I cut my teeth on one, learned to code in assembly [...]
10.6.2 Kills Off Atom CPU Support
Looks like Apple is taking another step to put a nail in the coffin of the hackintosh community. Looks like the developer build of Mac OS 10.6.2 lacks support for Intel’s Atom processor which every netbook around uses and is very popular in the hackintosh community. If this is a conscious move on Apple’s part [...]
Sucker Alert: $1200 Mouse
Don’t get me wrong, a good solid mouse it a must, especially if your a hardcore gamer, but $1200? I don’t think so. The ID Mouse from Intelligent design looks great and I’m sure it’s comfortable (at $1200 no wonder they won’t send us a review unit), but the last thing I want to do [...]
Pure Gold PC
We have featured many things that would explain why people with tons of money are really stupid. But it seems that every time I stumble across some new over priced useless piece of technology it beats the last. Take this solid gold (yes solid, not plated) PC. I’m not quite sure how much gold is [...]
More Dead Space, More Of Everything
If you own an Xbox 360, PS3, or decent PC, and can appreciate top notch audio/visual production values in your video games (along with some solid gameplay and storyline), then you owe it to yourself to check out “Dead Space”, Electronic Arts’ new survival horror game. Dead Space is getting scores in the mid to [...]
Leaked Shots: Asus N10
The N10 is Asus’s next gen EEEPC. The N10 will feature the same Intel Atom N270 processor that the previous EEEPCs had so we can expect equal or better battery life and appears to be constructed out of high quality plastic with a glossy finish. The biggest improvement is a gorgeous 10.2 inch display with [...]
The Internet’s Biggest Security Hole
Two security researches have demonstrated a technique that enables someone to intercept internet traffic on a massive scale using an exploit in the internet routing protocol BGP (Border Gateway Protocol). The exploit allows an attacker to monitor unencrypted traffic anywhere in the world and even allows them to modify the packets before they get to [...]
Hackintosh OS X, No Hacking Needed
When Steve Jobs first announced that Apple would be moving to the Intel platform it really didn’t take very long before hackers slapped together a working copy of OS X running on a plain old vanilla box PC. Let’s leap to today. With most of the hackintosh community working out all the kinks and bugs [...]
Maxed Out Mac Requires A Mortgage
Since Apple announce earlier this week new Desktop machines, and since I’m due a new Desktop to work on, I figured what the hell lets hit the Apple store online and see what I could build. They offer so much, so many options, so many toys, so many bells and whistles. I figured let’s load [...]
Modbooks begins shipping
The first fully functional Apple-authorized tablet Mac, the Modbook from Axiotron, which is highly anticipated will begin to ship soon. The Modbook integrates a Wacom digitized pen-sensitive LCD slate style display making it easy for designer and artists to preform all of their work with ease. The Modbook will come preloaded with Leopard and will [...]
AppleTV USB Hack
Two days after Apple TV Hacks published the much sought-after USB hard drive hack for the Apple TV, the site is making a call for help to polish the modification. For now, the hack isn’t for the faint of heart – it requires some mucking around at the command line, not to mention an Intel [...]
First Looks: VMWare Fusion
In preparation for my monthly trips to Vancouver to appear on the Lab with Leo I installed the latest and greatest for the Mac from VMWare, Fusion. Suffice to say that only using this product for only the past 12 hours has already lead me to completely remove my install of Parallels. Now don’t get [...]
EA backs off of Mac Releases
Back at WWDC EA announced that four of the EA franchise games would be released simultaneously on the PC and the Mac in July. July has come and gone and saw nothing. EA has told Apple Insider that Mac fanboys(girls) should not have held their breath on those promises. Madden 08 hit the shelves this [...]
Office 2008 delayed to 2008, shame
Looks like all of the Mac kids that use (or are forced to use) the Microsoft Office line of products will have to wait till next year for spanking new versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Entourage. Despite showing previews of the new Intel built Office suite at the 2007 Macworld convention this past January, [...]
