Apple Macbook Pro Still a Mac

It’s been a little more than a week since the Fedex man dropped off my new Santa Rosa Macbook Pro with the Intel Penryn processor. I had dreams of replacing the Mac OS with Windows Vista but decided to try the OS X for a week to see what the fuss was all about. Boy, am I glad I did. OS X kicks Windows ass!

I now understand why Mac sales are growing at a rate higher than the PC industry. The Mac OS is superior to Windows in almost every way. Because Apple makes both the hardware and software, the Mac just works - there are no compatibility issues to deal with. The system has not crashed once since I had it - not even during the time when I accidentally opened 30 Quicktime windows.

One of my biggest reasons for getting a Mac was that it can run Windows. This is a huge selling point for Windows users - knowing that they can load Vista if they so desired. I think it’s a key reason why Mac sales have been so great. However, once you live with the Mac OS for a little while, you’ll understand what all the fuss is about. I will not be installing Vista on this Macbook.

Publish Videos Direct To YouTube with iMovie

If you’re into shooting videos, you’ll love the Macbook Pro. The built in iSight camera and iMovie software allows you to shoot, edit and publish your video direct to Youtube. It makes Windows Movie Maker look like a joke! The setup is perfect for the video podcaster. Here’s a little video I put together with Ashley using the iSight and iMovie. The entire process from filming to YouTube took 10 minutes.

Ethernet not found

I recently installed Slackware 12.0 and during installation I did not configure any network settings as I didn't know them, after I booted linux, there was no eth0 found,my ethernet is an Intel PRO/100 VE, i figured the best module to load was eepro100,and I added it to the modules loaded during boot, there were no errors loading it,but after running ifconfig -a and netconfig there is no eth0 found in the /dev/ folder. what should I do to fix this?

5GB Free from Microsoft

Would you like to grab 5GB of free file hosting space from Microsoft? Last week Microsoft publicly launched their Windows Live SkyDrive service which will give you that 5GB of storage at no cost at all. This is a ‘bit of a surprise because during the test period they were only providing 1GB of space and it was only expected to increase to 2GB of space after it was launched.

To grab you free space, you must have a Hotmail or Live address, then login to the SkyDrive web site.

The file size limit per file you upload is 50MB so that still gives you a lot of room to work with. Internet Explorer users can install an upload tool to make working with the service a little easier. You will be able to upload right from the browser. For us Firefox users, we will just have to hope somebody develops an extension that will do the same.

For Microsoft, here is what I need to use this service on a day to day basis:

  • Give me a upload/download tool that is not just for Internet Explorer
  • Drop the plug for all the other “Live” services at the top

Go give SkyDrive a test drive for yourself at skydrive.live.com.
