Comment on Mac OS X 10.4.8 – WTF Mouse problems by Ron H

Mac Genius,
Thanks for the tip. In hindsight, it seems my original post is a bit misleading by saying “Who wants to actually pay for a Mac anyhow”. I suppose it to be more accurate to say, “Who wants to buy a Mac to try it out”.

Since writing the article, I had manage to get it working in a virtual environment (http://www.virtualbox.org/) which was enough for my friend to see if he liked it or not. As a result, I believe Mac won a new customer, though I haven’t spoken to him since hearing his decision.

Boot the OS with the -x tag.. It fixed mine.. The -x tag loads bare minimum kexts and usually fixes most problems. If it doesn’t, try reinstalling the os. If it works, Go and play with it. If not, Go buy VMware workstation 6.5 and find how to install OS X On it. Then boot with the -vmware tag. That forces it to boot with all hardware recognized. Oh and by the way. Installing OS X on Non-Apple hardware violates the EULA. And No, putting an apple sticker on it doesn’t make it apple hardware.
If you like it, You either can do it LEGALLY and become an apple developer ($500) or go and buy a mac. Buying the mac is cheaper, the developer is Per Year.

You are a hard person to find, man. Good to see you still question the universe as much as ever. Write me sometime, eh, Theodus? I miss your tales of Apet.

Comment on Why I don’t care about Google Chrome by Ron H

Jerome doesn’t have Firefox! Enjoy the new treasure. I recommend ScribFire and Adblock Plus as must-have add-ons. I’m sure you’ll find more to suggest to me.

Nisa, thanks for the link to the blog. In the next few days I’ll be exploring my own speculations of *why* Google decided to jump into the browser market in light of the fact that (as both our posts pointed out) there was no real innovation in the product. It seems unlike the company to make that kind of move. I’ll be posting my thought-droppings on that topic in an article in a few days. My initial hunch : Many Fox users also use Adblock Plus… and that is no good to a company that makes it’s bread and butter on ad revenue. Maybe not.

Hey Ron!

Great write-up on Chrome. I haven’t tried it myself yet, but after reading your post I don’t think I will!

*runs off to get Firefox*

Hey Ron,
I just wrote a blog about Google Chrome today (http://nurdelight.wordpress.com) and was interested to see you with a similar concern to mine. I think i’m going to stick to the Old faithful too until something makes me want to install Chrome. Take a look at my blog (its for university purposes) and feel free to leave a comment.
