13.6.2009 OS X 10.4.3 dual-booted on a Thinkpad video + screenshot
By now a lot of us have seen videos of Apple OS X running on PCs, but we got ahold of this latest video of 10.4.3 running on a Thinkpad -- and it's running damned fast if you ask us. The video drivers still aren't up to snuff and neither is the wireless (no big surprise on either), but we have a feeling that when the official x86 10.4.4 build hits the streets next month there's gonna be a huge surge of development and adaption going on.

managed to load in the browser. The only thing that this browser can do currently is load web pages in the renderer processes and display them in
tabs. The team had managed to create new windows and tabs using the shared code, which allowed renderer processes to spawn/quit.

Paul Thurrott has posted a screenshot gallery of Windows 7, you know -the one that was handed to developers back in December 2007; well for those who
have been living under a rock and haven't seen them yet, follow the link below.
"... A few weeks back, the first external build of
Windows 7, the next version of Windows, fell into my hands. I installed it initially in just a virtual machine and took hundreds of shots, and
that's what you're looking at here. Essentially, Windows 7 build 6519--dating back to December 2007--is just a slightly enhanced version of
Windows Vista.
My guess--and at this point, it's just a guess--is that things will change more significantly over time. But even in
this early build, a number of interesting developments emerge. I'll have more to say about that in the days ahead. For now, enjoy this first
screenshot gallery. It won't be the last."

04.04.2008Extensive Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard screenshot gallery
With Leopard already in the hands of some customers, the launch less than a day ahead, and Apple's legal hounds safely at home in their kennels,
AppleInsider has produced a comprehensive screenshot gallery from the shipping version of the new Mac OS.
At least some Mac users
report having received their shipping copies of Leopard on Thursday, more than 24 hours in advance of the officially scheduled debut on October 26th
at 6PM -- and at least one user has posted
video evidence of the fact on
YouTube.
The shipping package is far smaller than the original Tiger box and is just larger than the DVD and basic documentation,
but is considerably flashier: a holograph-like "X" and star field grace the front.

there's a 'G' to obviously signify Grava, so does this mean we're looking at a standalone Grava application or a conceptual idea for
how the interface of Office might change to signify the user is currently using Grava?

that the OS is fantastic, that it's very graphical and easy to use. What we've tried to do with Windows 7 – whether it's traditional

12.11.2009Apple unfazed by Windows 7 launch, says Analyst
The launch of Windows 7 on October 22 is unlikely to cause any significant damage to Mac sales, according to Wall Street analyst Brian Marshall of
Broadpoint AmTech. Marshall came to this conclusion by analysing the impact of previous Windows launches on Mac sales. In his study, he compared the
sales trends of Macintosh computers around the times of the launches of Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista. In every case, except
for the launch of Windows 2000, Marshall found that Mac sales either remained stable or in fact increased. Upon the launch of Windows Vista, Mac sales
increased by a higher percentage than after any other Windows launch to date.

13.10.2009Need a Mac on a budget? Go retro
One of the top reasons people wont commit to switching to Macs is price.
Though Mac technology isnt any
more expensive than Windows-based technology when considering long-term value, here are a few great ways to break into the Mac world without
buying a brand spanking new iMac or Macbook.
First, its important to note that Macs, unlike Windows-based machines, do not
depreciate at fast rates. The reason for this is Macs have longer lasting value and performance than their Windows-based competitors.
Why does that matter a hill of beans? Simply put, it matters because you can buy an older Mac in great condition that will run the Tiger or
even Leopard with little to no upgrading required. You dont have to buy that new iMac just to go Mac.

PC security experts have criticized Microsoft this week for releasing security patches attempting to fix vulnerabilities in Windows versions of their

Frantzen, a security analyst, claims that Microsoft have ignored its practices for responsible disclosure, by revealing that Office Mac 2004 and 2008
contain three unpatched vulnerabilities. These, he said, could lead to a possibility of hackers exploiting this Mac weakness. Following complaints
by security analysts, Microsoft is said to have had no further comment than that released in the statement, along with the patch for Windows. Source:

But you may not know the answers to a bunch of other related questions: Why would you want to put Windows on your Mac in the first place?
Which Windows programs are compelling and unique enough to justify the hassle of putting Windows on your Mac? Can you really incorporate those
programs smoothly into your Mac workflow, or will they always feel clunky? In other words, while putting Windows on your Mac might sound great in
