We expect Apple Service Centres (ASC) to receive a flood of ‘dud’ service requests. Both on the Intel and PPC platform. So long as the end users are running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. There’s no exact time line when this phenomenon started manifesting but we suspect that it has been latent since the launch of Leopard and possibly […]Read More
We have on occasion tested the limits of Apple hardware and have always been amazed by its longevity. In keeping with Apple’s latest Mac OS. Who would’ve imagined that a PowerMac G4 400MHz which was originally released on Apple’s OS 9 platform, can still until today run not only Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger but […]Read More

Well for one thing, after performing the CallerID bug fix hack the native SMS application appeared to run very slowly. Although Apple Inc has added multi-party SMS to the SMS […]Read More

After mucking about for some time and scouring the World Wide Web with little to no success on reference as to how to overcome this anomaly, we finally found the suggestion of an answer at the Apple Support site. Ironically, in a knowledge base article directed at Wintel users, using iPhones and iTunes. On this […]Read More
We’ve taken Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard out on a spin and overall its fancy. Its intuitive like everyone says, but for the unsuspecting user, we would have to say,“stick to Tiger” for the time being. If you’re still on Tiger. Despite all the bells and whistles, we’ve had numerous issues since upgrading to Leopard from […]Read More
When Second Life was first launched in 2003, its client application only supported Windows rigs. Recently, Second Life now supports Mac OS X 10.4.3, which shouts some what of the ever increasing Mac installbase. Other platforms supported include Linux.
