New MacBooks are out!

Wednesday, May 17th, 2006

And I want one! Black! :)
This time Apple really redesigned the whole computer. The keyboard is different, the screen is widescreen, harddrive and RAM are easier to get to (remember this), the latch for the screen is not mechanical any more, etc.
Again, some people think that price is too high but hey, it’s Apple! You […]

Linux - MacOS X Relaoded?

Wednesday, February 8th, 2006

I can only say that it was about time to make Linux desktop do some freaky stuff that only MacOS X users were experiencing until now.

Back on Apple :)

Finally, I did it! It took me a month, but he who waits,… is a waiter! :)
As you may have guessed, I’ve finally managed to replace the dying hard drive in my iBook. Now it’s bigger, faster and better! :) 40GB over 30GB, 8MB cache over 2MB and 5200rpm’s over 4800! It’s a lean, mean […]
