Looking to free a big ol’ chunk of drive space? Is your Time Machine back up directory giving you grief and you’d just rather start over again? Here’s a quick and easy way to just make it go away.
When the Miami, Florida-based hackintosh maker hit the scene back April 2008, the company made quite a splash, becoming the first company to openly advertise and sell Apple’s OS X on generic PC hardware. However, like their first computers, the Rebel EFI might charitably be called a work in progress with little in the way of documentation or help available.
Once again the search giant co-founder has popped up in public to express his irritation at the lack of a Mac version of Chrome. Moreover, he says the company he helped create should have shipped the WebKit browser simultaneously with the PC iteration way, way back in August of last year — apparently neither his discomfort nor his opinion count for much.
When Apple shipped Snow Leopard, one of the most powerful ways to extend Safari got broken in the mix, taking with it one of my favorite add-on features. It’s taken some time, but required input manager and utility suite itself have all been refreshed, bringing them up-to-date.
When it comes to Web browsing, Flash is a primary source of both insecurity and instability, not to mention unadulterated annoyance even when Adobe’s proprietary multimedia middleware does its job.

About a year ago, Google’s Sergey Brin was embarrassed to admit that it might be “months” before Chrome would arrive on the Mac. Now, the search giant’s CEO managed to deliver some smarmy praise for Mac users, but not the actual product, which is already at version 3.0 on Windows.
A set of application-level (AL) specifications designed to simplify the creation and distribution of multimedia software — including audio, video and imaging functionality — across multiple platforms. That sounds quite a bit like Apple’s AL multimedia specification (writ large).
Having commanded Amazon’s software top seller spot for more than a month, it’s not surprising that Apple’s Snow Leopard has doubled the sales pace set by Leopard and nearly quadrupled that logged by Panther. Now there’s a another secondhand metric showing that Mac users are migrating to OS X 10.6 at a record pace.
With federal investigators looking into Apple’s rejection of Google Voice, as well as a gentleman’s agreement between the two companies not to hire away each others’ employees, the Cupertino, California-based maker of computers, media players and smartphones may be seeking to disentangle itself from the search giant by creating a mapping service to replace Google Maps on the Mac and iPhone.
