Snow Leopard: Its Here! (with photos)
Just got it, day of release. Here’s a photo of the actual box, front and back, US release. So the images (see post below) of the Portuguese release were very close. You might notice the Apple logo was missing on the Portuguese box front? The DVD Installer Disk looks identical to the previous photo posted. […]
Mac Owners, “No, you’re not infected”
I’m posting a link to a piece in MacWorld thats very relevant these days about “scary looking websites”, especially as a followup to another recent blog post I put up about Scam-Ware and Scare-Ware “A reader says, ‘I used Yahoo to search for something and was sent immediately to the following [redacted] site.

Following Apple’s instructions exactly, I booted up from a Leopard Installer Disk, chose the “Restore from Time Machine backup” Utility…etc, and so far so good. It […]
Photoshop Killer?
Just read about this web-based image editing program called Paint mentioned in this MacWorld article. http://www.macworld.com/article/134962/2009/06/sumopaint.html Its like Photoshop in function. One huge difference? Adobe’s Photoshop costs hundreds of dollars. Sumo Paint is FREE! It does many of the same things. Here is a demo of Sumo Paint in action up on YouTube. Certainly worth […]
