    Deals on a Mac

    If you want to go the "Hackintosh" route, the best thing I've seen for no fuss, no muss is efi-x. It's a USB dongle that attaches to the internal USB header on supported motherboards and will allow you to install a full, retail copy of OS X on supported hardware, take software and system...

    Windows 7: A rebadged, much better Vista?

    From the sounds of it, with the improved memory footprint and the faster start up and shut down times, etc., it almost sounds as it they're going to commercially do what a lot of folks have been doing with Server 2008, basically turning down some of the server side stuff and enabling the Vista...

    Loss of sound on Firefox and IE

    I had this problem in the past too until my wife sent me the following link. The basics of it are install Revo uninstaller and then install the latest version of Flash. Links to both are provided in the article. Haven't had the problem since I did that on any system that I've done it on. Why...

    Ergonomic Keyboards?

    My personal favourite is / was the Cirque SK-6000. I also liked the original Microsoft Natural Keyboards until they started adding all the buttons to them and stuff. I liked the Cirque so much that I bought the same keyboard in a rebadged Lite-On model and a PC Concepts version of it as well...

    Vista Service Pack 1 available

    With SP1 out for Vista, I finally decided to give it a try. All in all, it's not as bad as I've thought. If anything, it's more annoying than frustrating, especially if you're used to doing a lot of system tuning as certain things like control panel options, which have been steady since Win2k...

    Vista Service Pack 1 available

    I slipstreamed SP3 into my Windows XP install and I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary in any of the recent builds that I have done. The one nice thing is that it eliminates almost all of the updates that are done after a fresh install. Last one I did had only two items that needed...

    overclocking q6600 processor?

    I have heard that getting the q6600 up to 3.0 ghz with the standard cooler is relatively easy, even easier if you're using a better heatsink like the Zalman 9500. There are a lot of guides out on the net on getting the q6600 up to that speed.

    Good earbuds for IPod??

    Depending upon what you're looking for, you could try any of these earbuds and you'll notice a much more comfortable experience as well as highly improved sound quality. The earbuds that come with iPods blow in ways too numerous to list, comfort and sound quality being the first and foremost of...

    Considering a Mac questions...

    I hear you on what most computer users want. However, the bit you quoted was really me snidely referring to the fact that if you own a Mac you have the option of either a) using Boot Camp to set up a dual booting system so you can have the benefit of both Windows and OS X or b) using Parallels...

    Considering a Mac questions...

    You know, I would love to do that on my generic, hand built, custom component PC and run OS X in a nice virtual machine via VM Ware... but I can't because Saint Steve won't deign the regular masses to run his operating system on anything but his personally badged hardware. Sure, you can have...

    Is WinXP done after January 2008?

    I told my wife that Vista would be the reason that she ends up on some form of Linux or BSD within the next few years. I'd love to move to winXP x64 edition to do a few things, but there is no version of Real Player working with any of the x64 editions of Windows and believe it or not, that...

    Is WinXP done after January 2008?

    What? You don't like having to reboot the machine four times immediately after doing a fresh install just to make sure you've taken all of the latest updates? Hell, just from that standpoint alone I welcome the arrival of XP with SP3. Maybe now I won't have to update through three...

    Is WinXP done after January 2008?

    Microsoft is presently working on a Service Pack 3 for XP and long ago allowed Dell and some others to go back to selling XP on systems and laptops because people just don't want Vista. So while MS has stated that they'll stop selling XP in January or that retail support will end then, it...
