If you have a unibody Macbook Pro in the 15″ or 17″ models, then you probably have two video cards. In the case of my Macbook Pro, I have an nVidia 9400m and an nVidia 9600m GT. By default the 9400m is enabled. For the most part this is perfectly fine for my usage, but [...]

Something else I got this Christmas is an Apple Magic Mouse. This is the latest generation of mouse from Apple, and it is an absolutely fantastic device! Just turn on Bluetooth on my Mac, turn on the mouse, tell the Mac to find Bluetooth devices, it straight away detects the mouse and pairing is just [...]

I was just reading a post over at the Global Thoughtz Technology blog about Brian Croll, Apple’s OS X Marketing Vice President, commenting that Windows 7 uses antiquated technology. The post itself I think is valid, Brian Croll’s comments may be fair, they may not be, but either way Windows 7 is a huge improvement [...]

I came up against a problem today whilst working on fixing a design to work correctly in both IE6 and IE7. That problem was, I am running IE6 in a Windows XP virtual machine in VMWare Fusion on my Macbook Pro. Normally, I test IE7 on my Vista desktop and IE6 in the Virtual Machine. [...]

I got the Cooler Master X Craft 250 (eSATA and USB) when I was planning the hard drive transplant for my Macbook Pro, and after my excellent experience with the Cooler Master X Craft 350 Lite, I was quite happy to get the baby brother, the 250 Lite and give it a try.
The 250 shares [...]

It’s been a while, and how I’ve missed you my poor, neglected blog and readers, it’s been so empty without you.
So what have I actually been doing for the past month? Yep, it’s been a month already! Or it would have been if I had waited two more days to write this, but I’m not [...]

I recently set up an external hard drive to use with Time Machine on my Macbook Pro. As nice as the wireless backups of an Apple Time Capsule would be, I don’t need it and thus can’t justify spending the extra on one.
My Macbook Pro had a 120gb hard drive in it at the time [...]

The Cooler Master X Craft 350 Lite is an external USB (there is an e-SATA version as well) enclosure for 3.5″ hard drives. It has a fairly schmick design and comes with an upright stand, however, if you have more than one, they are designed to be stackable as well.
I picked one up about a [...]

I received a completely unexpected present from a good friend of mine a couple of months ago, a new Palm Treo 750 running Windows Mobile 6.
I am quite fond of the design of the Palm Treo’s as they manage to incorporate an (almost) full keyboard along with a reasonable sized screen (240px * 240px) without [...]

I have noticed news and rumours popping up, as well as some releases on Apple’s website about the next version of OS X, due out next year, Snow Leopard. Just going off the information directly from Apple, Snow Leopard is sounding like it is going to be a very interesting release and as an unashamed [...]
