    What's the the best Mac OS for you?

    I am the same as BlueHornet in the fact that I've not used SL for a while now. My MBA will not run it so I use Lion and my hack is also Lion as once it was installed I never went back. There was no real need for me to go back to SL from Lion. I am happy with Lion for what I do at the moment...

    RANT .... Western Digital WDEARS drive failure

    You know I had the same problem with both a WD and Samsung drive last year :) It doesn't matter the drive manufacturer it will happen to all drives at some stage. This is why some people are pedantic about using RAID1 (as a minimum) for any data drives when working on large projects. Sorry it...

    Mac OS X 10.8 restricted to App Store, signed apps by defaul

    The screen shots for the Security tab on MacRumors show you have three options, only those in the App Store, Those Trusted by Apple Dev ID's and anything. I hear that you can also "add" a list of your own trusted Dev ID's...

    Mac OS X 10.7.3 Update - The Official Thread (Desktops)

    Re: Mac OS X 10.7.3 Update - The Official Thread All worked fine for me. 10.7.3 combo. Removed new AppleHDA.kext, put back Legacy one. Had to change permissions on the new CSRAppleBluetooth.kext (chmod -R go-w CSRAppleBluetooth.kext) and re-pair the trackpad. All working as expected so far.

    I can't believe I put a windows machine back in my house

    I'm surprised you didn't just put an iPad in there :) Mine goes into the kitchen when I need a recipe from the Interwebs :) But still cool project, how does SWMBO like it?

    New Bluetooth 4.0 module

    The mini-PCIe adaptors are only that, the BT side of things needs USB connectivity by the looks. I won't know until I get one :)

    The Wife would Kill Me

    I think this is about the third time they've been listed :) I saw them and went "ooh" then realised I really only do need one case :)

    New Bluetooth 4.0 module

    Haven't gone any further with it. Still need to get the correct mini PCIE to PCIE card with USB... Didn't bother with the wireless side of things, would have been a nice bonus...

    Star Trek Appreciation Thread

    Yeah I did watch that and my hope is that they do re-release the whole series and not just a few 'key' episodes over the next 12 months. It would be interesting to see how much take up the current generation of kids has with these shows. Or if they will look at taking the Star Trek world...

    Star Trek Appreciation Thread

    Wow, what a difference. Been watching ST:TNG again and the quality from DVD is just woeful :( I remember how great it was at the time, how quickly we become used to HD quality. I really hope they decide to release all of it in HD at some stage.

    G5 Case Mod - Memory Card Reader Location Examples

    Unfortunately looking at the front there is no real option without marring the overall continuity of the holes and of course the rear is no option either. Depending on what sort of front it has you could look at mounting internally without the facia on it and then just cutting slots into the...

    Lion Users, How Do You Scroll?

    I use the new way. Took me a few weeks to get used to it, but once it did I find it quite, well, natural, funny how habits are easily changed.
