Can definitely confirm this claim, the Wind suspends and restarts with OS X VERY rapidly indeed

Re: Surprise! The memory issues are back in Firefox

Stopped using FF a long time ago because of the bloatedness of this browser. With growing number of very capable alternatives FF team need to sort this out...

Re: Applications that fit on a thumbdrive for your Mac

Scott — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 09:05:39 -0000

To be honest I personally find that thumb drives are becoming more and more irrelavent. There are so many ways of keeping you data and apps online now that the risk of carrying around on a thumb drive that can be easily lost is less worth doing.

At work I am just struggling to find a good easy to use solution to secure all our staffs thumb drives and to be honest I would prefer to make policy that they were just not allowed, although I acept that practically I couldnt do this just yet, but the day is coming....

Re: Firefox updated, and seems quicker

Heard a number of comments about 3.0.4 reintroducing the infamous Firefox bloat and instability. Have you experienced this ? To be honest I never use FF and cant find a real killer feature that would make me switch to it. At one time I did use FF and got used to the plugin features but having not used it for a long time I dont really miss the ability to add-on to the browsers basic functionality.

Having said that I do think Apple could help Safari usage by developing a plugin community. I suspect they havent done this for the same reasons that they didnt allow 3rd party apps on the iPhone at first, ie to reduce support and problems due to non-Apple code.

I think Mac users have accepted the fact that OS X product releases are value for money purchases. We are not talking about £3-400 release as is the case with Microsoft new versions and I am personally happy to pay £99 every year or so for the sort of updates that Apple produce. I have upgraded ( over a number of machines ) from Panther to Tiger and Leopard and each upgrade I have felt was a major step forward over the previous and fully worth the purchase price.

The Apple model of annual upgrades for £100 rather than 4-5 year upgrades for £3-400 has been discussed many times and personally I am comfortable with this.

From what I have understood so far of the Snow Leopard update there are potentially MAJOR architectural improvements that promise to deliver further REAL benefits to users. Compare this the the changes in Windows with each update which inevitably require a machine of higher spec to produce the same ( or in Vista case lesser ) performance than before the upgrade.

Of course consumers can always vote with their dollars ( or pounds in the UK ! ) by not upgrading but I think history has shown that Mac devotees are quite happy to pay for the sort of improvements that Steve and his teams deliver with each of their OS upgrades.

How much do you use Mojo Josh ? Have you got it running now ? I want to test but others I have tried with I think have hit firewall issues. Fancy having a go at setting up with me ?

Re: Dell Mini9 OSX Netbook

Scott — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 03:37:52 -0000

Only problem with the Mini9 is the limited disk space. I have OS X running on an MSI Wind that has a 160Gb hard disk, so watching movies, listening to music, playing with iPhoto etc are all easily achievable and it runs very nicely. In fact I have started using it on a big monitor next to my 24" iMac as a browser machine while I do heavier stuff on the iMac ( setup Synergy so I can use my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse on iMac to control the MSI.

Beautiful !

Re: Taxi Driver Severs Cyclists' Leg in Violent Hit-and-Run

Scott — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 18:32:21 -0000

As a cyclist who has been knocked off by irresponsible drivers on more than one occasion ( and who have just walked away without so much as a claim against their insurance ), I was shocked and sickened by this article.

Many drivers on the roads really should not be allowed to wield the power....

This guy SHOULD have the book thrown at him, but I doubt he will.
