Particle shift mac os. The second most popular post ever on this blog was my review of Lenovo's Thinkpad W510. I used to really like the IBM Thinkpads. (The number one post is the link to 64-bit versions of Eclipse, and I don't even use Eclipse except for an occassional refactoring or stepwise debug).
Considered a commercial failure but with technical acclaim, the Lisa introduced a number of advanced features that would later reappear on the Macintosh and eventually the 'PC' platform. Among those is an operating system with protected memory and a document-oriented workflow. The hardware overall was more advanced than the original Macintosh 128k, with hard disk drive support, capacity for up to 2 megabytes of random-access memory, expansion slots, and a larger higher-resolution display. Assimilate Scratch Key Scratch is a program from the guys from Assimilate, which is designed to process digital images in cinematography, and also serves as an excellent tool for digital post-production.
The apartment 2 mac os. I just gave my 15-month old quad-core, high-res, 8GB Thinkpad W510 with a 128GB SSD to one of our grad students after Andrew bought me a shiny new Macbook Air 13″ with 4GB and a 256GB SSD. Apple only just a few weeks ago came out with similar hardware for the Macbook Pro, by the way, and Lenovo's not exactly rushing out of the gate with new CPUs.

I thought at the very least, if I hated Mac OS X, I could just install Windows. If the Air was too small, I could just use it for travel.

Within about 24 hours, having watched Apple's converting from Windows to Mac video, I'm a convert. So much so that Mitzi's been getting sick of hearing me tell her how great the new Macs are. We'd both last used them with any frequency when I had a Mac Quadra in the early 1990s.
Among my favorite things is emacs commands in text windows. And I'm not sure how I lived without the gestures for scrolling and navigating the web. It really is a unix machine underneath, though I never had any problems with Cygwin on Windows. I also love the keyboards. That and the weight are what finally soured me on the Thinkpads — their new ones are terrible.
Did I mention the insane battery life?
Or just how nice it feels? It's like moving from a Kodak Brownie to a Leica.
The last time I was this impressed with a piece of hardware was when my grad school department got its first Sun Workstation I way back in 1985 or 1986.
It's not perfect. Does Microsoft own the patent on grabbing windows by their sides to resize them? It's not possible in either Linux or the Mac [I was corrected in the comments; it is possible in Linux, just very trying as a test of hand-eye-mouse coordination]. And why do I have a delete key that's really a backspace and no real delete key? (Yes, I realize fn-delete adds up to a delete.) And what's the function key doing where my control key should be? Does anyone ever use caps lock for anything? Why do computers still have them?
Also, I don't find Macs as blindingly obvious as everyone else says they are. For instance, I had no clue as to what to do with the 'power cord'. I went online. Parslo mac os. I read the manual. I'd have thought it was the wrong piece, but it was listed in the parts. Turns out you need to take their power supply apart and then it clips in. Huh? It reminds me of getting an iPod many years ago and having no clue how to turn it off.
No Half Measures
Given that the money was turned on at Columbia, I ordered the Macbook Air for home and travel, as well as a 27″ iMac for the office, and an iPad 2. The iMac is very sweet, but somehow not nearly as cool as the Air. I can't wait until the iPad shows up — I'm tired of printing out PDFs. As soon as the iPhone 5 shows up, I'm getting one from Verizon (I don't even have a cellphone now).

Welcome to the New Borg
Sound capture software for windows 7. The old joke used to be that Microsoft was like The Borg, whose tagline was 'you will be assimilated'. Slashdot even uses a Borged-out Bill Gates as an icon.

It turns out that as hard as Google's trying to be the new Borg, the current Borg headgear apparatus rests on Apple's head. After all, they've not just locked down their hardware, they're also trying to take over the music and movie distribution business. That's why I'm so surprised I couldn't find a Steve-Jobs-as-Borg image. C'mon Slashdot, help me out here.

Tip of the Day
When your significant other says he or she thinks you like your new Macbook Air more than him or her, do NOT reply, 'It's so thin!'. Luckily, Mitzi has a sense of humor to go with her yoga-and-running-toned body.
