A word of warning for anyone that is going to install OSX on to their N130, replace the original hard drive. If you wipe the factory hard drive it will be very hard to reinstall Windows if you every should need to. You'll need to buy a 2.5" SATA hard drive to replace the factory one. Second not everything works 'out of the box' in OSX. Audio, WiFi, and Ethernet DO NOT WORK, also the computer...

I have written in the past about the the vision that drove Steve Jobs in pursuing his ambition for Apple. A cursory glance at the significant milestones in the careers of Walt Disney and Steve Jobs suggests an otherworldly ability to invent, re-invent and extend 'unfair advantages' across seemingly orthogonal domains. Steve Jobs is the closest thing to Walt Disney since Walt Disney, now forever bound...

A month ago I wrote The MacBook Pro it is. And I could not have been happier with this purchase. It is an elegant and fast machine and has not given me a single headache. Surprisingly it was the "default notebook" at BlackBerry Developer Conference. Surprisingly, because RIM, much like Lotus, does not have Mac development tools (yet). If you think about getting one, do it. This Friday, when...

I was asked recently "If you could work for any Mac software development company, who would it be?" Well, that's a really tough question. Here's a list of companies I have a ton of respect for. Some are small, mom and pop type shops, others are computing giants. Here they are, in no particular order... Apple - The mother ship, need I say more? Adobe - Still a great Mac shop. FileMaker - Mac...

I was woken this morning with "the Mac isn't working". I crawl out of bed and start reading /var/log/system.log. I find lots of gnarly shit . I figure that this machine has been through a lot of upgrades - including the major system upgrades of 10.4-to-10.5 and 10.5-to-10.6. Since Google was giving me no helpful responses to the various aforementioned bits of gnarly shit in system.log, I...

Filed under: Gaming , Apple , Developer , iPhone , App Store , SDK Touch Arcade has the news that the long-awaited Ravensword and a number of other games built on the Unity game engine have been rejected by Apple from the App Store. The problem appears to be a number of API calls in the engine (though not specifically the game themselves, as I understand it) that allow the games to access the iPhone's...

But while it will no longer run your own code, it will run some old-school C64 games, [...]
