What the hackintosh community brings, Apple taketh away. And the hackintoshers then put it back. With the 10.6.2 Mac OS X update, Apple removed support for Intel Atom CPUs, so all of those netbooks running Snow Leopard lost their spots. A modified kernel brings back support, says MacWorld , ...

I tested Apple’s Magic Mouse with Windows 7 not long after I bought the device a few weeks ago . It paired through Bluetooth with no issues as expected, and works well, but lost was the scrolling I enjoy with a finger flick on my MacBook. Obviously, it’s a driver issue and I never ...

Mobile devices get smaller, thinner and lighter over time, but one component seems destined to remain roughly the same– the plug. While plugs are not huge in most places, the UK plug is bulky and doesn’t lend itself well to mobility. Our buddy Simon at WebWorkerDaily found a concept ...

Yesterday found me in a place where none of us like to be, the car repair shop. My old car was in need of some repairs, and I spent a few hours sitting in one of those comfortable car shop waiting room chairs. I knew I would have plenty of time on my hands so I brought two pieces of gear in my ...

Augmented Reality (AR) is one of those cool technologies (subscription required) that fascinates me. The ability to merge what is seen through a phone camera into the real world and leverage it in useful ways is awesome. When the cool factor settles down, I’m left with the reality of AR, ...
