How To Write To Windows NTFS Drives In Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard”

November 29, 2010 By Stephen 8 Comments

One of the daily hassles of using Apple Macintosh computers is the incompatibilities that arise with the broad Microsoft Windows world. Individual files often require conversion, but what about whole disks? Apple has long supported the universal and simplistic FAT filesystem, and added read-only support for NTFS back in 2003 in OS X 10.3 "Panther". Third-party software like … [Read more...] about How To Write To Windows NTFS Drives In Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard”

Introducing SDXC and exFAT in Apple Mac OS X

October 1, 2010 By Stephen 8 Comments

SDXC and its partner, exFAT, are on the rise and gaining support in the latest digital cameras. New Sony models like my NEX-5 add SDXC support, as do new models from Canon, Nikon, and others. Photographers are mainly interested in the increased speed and capacity of these cards, but many will face a challenge when trying to use them in their Macintosh computers. Thankfully, it … [Read more...] about Introducing SDXC and exFAT in Apple Mac OS X

How To Boot Snow Leopard in 64-Bit Mode

July 26, 2010 By Stephen 2 Comments

Last year, I posted two articles about Apple's OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" and its new 64-bit kernel. The upshot was that, although just about every Mac made since mid-2008 is 64-bit capable, only the Xserve boots in 64-bit mode by default. Since my main computer is a glorious 27" iMac that runs 64-bit Snow Leopard perfectly, I decided to permanently set it to boot this way. … [Read more...] about How To Boot Snow Leopard in 64-Bit Mode

My 2009 IT Industry Predictions

December 24, 2009 By Stephen 3 Comments

It's that time again, when everyone who thinks they're a pundit (that would be everyone with a blog or Twitter account) has to make predictions for the coming year. But predictions are perilous: Get it right and you look like a mere trend-watcher; get it wrong and you look like a fool. It's such a hassle! So I'm doing something different this year: I'm going to make predictions … [Read more...] about My 2009 IT Industry Predictions

Mac Mini: Apple’s Inexpensive Server

October 20, 2009 By Stephen 7 Comments

Apple today revised their desktop computer lineup, including a quick refresh of the already updated Mac Mini. The new Mini lineup sports faster CPUs, larger hard drives, and an interesting twist on the hacks we've all already been performing: A dual-hard disk drive Mac Mini Server with no optical drive! Maybe we won't need to upgrade the Mini right out of the box anymore... … [Read more...] about Mac Mini: Apple’s Inexpensive Server

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs…
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting…
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim…
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you…
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it.
