Mon, 26 Jun 2006 18:47:11 GMT Essentials, 2006 edition [dive into mark]via Kjell Olsen2052 days agoI’ve been tempted to try the switch to linux for a while now. I’d have to give up textmate in favor of emacs, which I’d also have to learn how to use. But otherwise I think I’d do just fine. Also my airport express would go kaput. Ah, vendor lockin. Plus, mac so pretty.

Thu, 09 Jun 2005 21:27:00 GMT Mac Rumors: Pentium M and Yonah Processors in Upcoming Macs?via Kjell Olsen2434 days agoI was going to buy a computer this fall for college (and it was going to be a powerbook g5, but apple went off and ruined that dream), but now I’m holding off for one of these:
More details of the Yonah chip can be found in this article. Yonah will reportedly be the first mobile dual-core processor as well as the first processor manufactured in the 65-nm process.
A little more on the Yonah
Either a Mac Mini or a used (i|power)book somewhere on ebay will have to put my through my freshman year. I’m not new to having an old computer either, for the last five years I’ve been on an iMac g3 600.

Wed, 08 Jun 2005 19:40:27 GMT The Cult of Mac Blogvia Kjell Olsen2435 days agoApple switched to intel to humor Hollywood over DRM’d content.
Apple—or rather, Hollywood—wants the Pentium D to secure an online movie store (iFlicks if you will), that will allow consumers to buy or rent new movies on demand, over the Internet.
In the PC industry, Apple lost the productivity/office era to Microsoft, but it’s trying to get the jump on the next big thing: the entertainment/creativity era, and it’s going to drag it users, even if they’re kicking and screaming, with it.

Tue, 29 Mar 2005 19:20:36 GMT Return of the Macvia Kjell Olsen2506 days agoPaul Graham on why macs kick ass these days.
And open and good is what Macs are again, finally. The intervening years have created a situation that is, as far as I know, without precedent: Apple is popular at the low end and the high end, but not in the middle. My seventy year old mother has a Mac laptop. My friends with PhDs in computer science have Mac laptops. [2] And yet Apple’s overall market share is still small.
Though unprecedented, I predict this situation is also temporary. -

I had X11 installed before I wiped my drive to upgrade to panther, but ought to put it back in there. I miss kismet and OpenOffice!
