Attention: Plex for Mac now plays well with Snow Leopard
Posted on October 28, 2009 | No CommentsIt's been some time since I've written about Plex, the Mac-specific fork of XBMC that, well, is fantastic. It seems Snow Leopard somewhat borked the application, but the latest release is all fixed up. Have a peach.

iTunes update creates problems for Mac users
Posted on September 11, 2009 | No Comments
Uh oh, sounds like there's some bugs being introduced into the gilded cage that Mac users seem to enjoy so much. People using older versions of Safari are discovering that they can't connect to the store. Turns out that the new version of iTunes is deeply attached to Safari. This is causing problems for users of older versions, and also for users that have pre-release versions of Snow Leopard.

Ars’ exhaustive Snow Leopard review
Posted on September 1, 2009 | No Comments
Ever since Ars Technica was eaten by Conde Nast they've broken new ground with their reporting and - eh, who am I kidding. I haven't been to their site in a a few months. However, they have written a 23-page article about Snow Leopard, a feat the boggles the mind and stiffens the clicking finger.

Oh, come on: Snow Leopard doesn’t have ZFS
Posted on August 30, 2009 | No CommentsHow many of y'all got around to installing Snow Leopard yesterday? I meant to, but then I bought a new hard drive for my old iMac (hey, any discreet graphics card is better than this old MacBook's Intel bologna), so I'll be upgrading everything next week. As if any of you care, I know, but trust me: there's a point. If you did install Snow Leopard, you'll no doubt have noticed this glaring kick in the teeth: Apple has removed ZFS! This will go down as one of the greatest injustices ever brought upon mankind.

Snow Leopard protects you from two Trojans
Posted on August 28, 2009 | No Comments
It seems that Snow Leopard contains some sort of anti-malware system. But what does it really protect you from? Not much.
It seems to scan for only OSX.RSPlug and OSX.Iservice and then only scans files from Safari, Mail, and a few web browsers. Usenet and Bittorrent clients are unaffected. It doesn't even actively scan the Downloads folder.

Snow Leopard’s secret power
Posted on August 25, 2009 | No CommentsYou’re telling me Snow Leopard isn’t a major update? Well affix your chapeau to your pate, sir, and go forthwith on a long walk off of a short fjord!

Box vs Box: Snow Leopard Standard vs Snow Leopard Server Edition
Posted on August 24, 2009 | No CommentsApple’s been gettin’ a good bit of grief for the Snow Leopard box art since it officially went on sale this morning. We’re in the “Who cares? We’re all going to buy it anyway” boat, but we’ve gotta admit it: it sort of looks like it was slapped together at the last minute. By a [...] -

Snow Leopard will be out soon, no need to freak out
Posted on August 21, 2009 | No CommentsHere's some advice to all of you guys who are trying to keep up-to-date on the latest Snow Leopard news: don't go anywhere near a computer for the next week or so. There were rumors last week that Snow Leopard build 10A432 was slated for gold master, but then you read message board thread after message board there wherein people complain about little glitches here and there. Hardly a sign of Apple polish! Then the disc artwork changes from a snow leopard theme to a space theme, à la Leopard, and there's even more confusion.

Preview: Snow Leopard (10A432)
Posted on August 17, 2009 | No Comments
We're a few weeks away from the official release of Snow Leopard and I'm here to tell you things are really heating up in the realm of Exchange Support, OpenCL, and being able to click on an icon to make all of its windows appear.
Sorry. I'm just a crank. Every time Apple comes out with a new version of OS X I expect bells, whistles, and dancing dogs. This is an incremental upgrade, as we described it back at WWDC, and it's a strong one. However, it's not nearly as exciting at first blush - at least visually - but it does give countless IT guys some serious tentpole action especially considering built-in Exchange support.
This review is based on the purported Gold Master, 10A432, the version that will be shipped to stores world-wide this September. It may or not be the official final version but I've been using versions of Snow Leopard for about two months now.

Sure looks like the GM build of Snow Leopard has leaked
Posted on August 13, 2009 | No CommentsI do believe the GM build of Snow Leopard, Apple's latest version of Mac OS X, has leaked onto the Internet. The build in question is 10A432. I see it on one popular Web site, but I shan't be downloading. Even I can afford $30!
