There's been a lot of hubbub lately in the Mac community about Psystar, the "Open Source" hardware maker that's introduced a whole line of cheap Macintosh clones. No doubt, the whole thing will probably be crushed by Apple and their attorneys, but I have to admire the spunk and gumption of these guys. They've basically taken cheap Chinese PC clones equipped with decent Intel Core Duo processors, and found a way to install Mac OSX Leopard on them without any compromise... so far. Their entry level unit is only about $399, but the jury is still out as to reliability. And there's always the risk that Apple will putatively change their OS to turn the Psystars into bric…

We have installed a brand new 24" iMac at the Union Local 695 as part of the work being done by the newly formed Education Committee. The plan is to have this Mac available for our union members for training --- everything from basic computer skills to file management, Pro Tools, Boom Recorder and so forth. The really good thing about the Mac is that with Boot Camp we are able to have both a beautiful Mac running OS X AND a Mac running Windows for those who wish to get some training on that platform. Courtney installed Windows XP and his BWF Widget Pro software on the iMac and we anticipate that we will be installing more software, both Mac and Windows, in the near future…

PC World's latest review of laptops has discovered the fastest laptop to run Microsoft's latest incarnation of Windows - Vista. The ironic antithesis of it all, the laptop happens to be a 17" 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro. The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year is a Mac. Try that again: The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year--or for that matter, ever--is a Mac. Not a Dell, not a Toshiba, not even an Alienware. The $2419 (plus the price of a copy of Windows Vista, of course) MacBook Pro's PC WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 88 beats Gateway's E-265M by a single point, but the MacBook's score is far more impressive simply because Apple …

Does anyone know what it takes to remote roll a SD 702T (or 744T for that matter) and Metacorder (on a MacMini) from a CS208D? I'm aware of the CL-1 and the Tranzport, but aren't these both interfaced directly with their respective recording platforms? I'm looking for a solution that will enable me to use the remote roll switches on the Cooper.

This looks to be a good utility for re-claiming all the storage that seems to be filled up with, what? "You've done a perfunctory cleaning of your documents folder, deleted half of your iTunes library and parted with some seldom-used applications, but your startup volume is still mysteriously filled to the brim. Fortunately, discovering whereabouts of the lurking files responsible for eating your drive space is a task made almost weirdly simple with a utility called WhatSize." http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070522104736464 Regards, Jeff Wexler

So has Apple shipped updated Mac Books to retail stores and are ready to be consumed. As rumored, Apple has quietly updated the MacBook tonight to the Santa Rosa architecture with mild speed bumps and the GMA X3100 integrated video. White 13.3" $1099.00 2.0GHz/1GB RAM/80GB/Combo/GMA X3100 $1299.00 2.2GHz/1GB RAM/120GB/SD-DL/GMA X3100 Black 13.3" $1499.00 2.2GHz/1GB RAM/160GB/SD-DL/GMA X3100 Despite comparable clock speeds (2.0 -> 2.0GHz, 2.16 -> 2.2GHz) to the old models, the new MacBooks use the Santa Rosa chipset which boasts a faster 800MHz front side bus over the previous MacBook models.

Very troubling news story: CNBC Engadget Mac Rumors CNN I'd like to wish the best for the guy. Pancreatic cancer is so tough to overcome -- he's beaten it for almost seven years, but it's a persistent, deadly disease. I've been a long-time Jobs observer -- I won't call myself a fan, because I think the man's frustrating, difficult, argumentative, and capable of being very abusive, according to friends of mine who know him personally. But I also think he's one of the most brilliant men of the last 20 years, somebody who truly changed the world in many ways. I've often said, "if he only made Pixar a success, or just made the Mac, or just invented the iP…
