Apple’s new Boot Camp now allows Windows to boot on Intel-based Macs

Last week, Apple released boot camp which allows Intel-based Mac users to safely load and run Windows XP natively. You can repartition the drive without data loss and install Mac drivers that give you that “mac” feel:
    * Graphics
    * Networking
    * Audio
    * AirPort wireless
    * Bluetooth
    * The Eject key (on Apple keyboards)
    * Brightness control for built-in displays

Imagine that!?! Well…not really…especially considering that Apple’s release of an Intel-based Macs earlier this year. Many technologist had purported that you would see an Apple running windows software…but maybe just not so soon.

All-in-all it took me about an hour to get XP installed and running.  Once I got the Mac drivers installed, it was cool to see my “old friend” windows running on my iMac as I was staring at the apple logo. Now, I want to find me a nice PC-based game and see how it runs. Stay tuned….

Meanwhile, click the image to see XP on my iMac.

60GB iPod “at risk” — new video model coming? – engadget.com

60GB iPod “at risk” — new video model coming?:

“OK, we really resisted dipping into the murky waters of this latest round of Apple rumors, but it looks like things have gotten too deep for us to just wade off and ignore it (have we exhausted this metaphor yet? Good.). It turns out that Apple has apparently put the 60GB iPod on its “at risk” list. That’s a designation Apple provides to retailers to give them a heads up that a product may be in short supply in the near future. Apple doesn’t provide any explanation for why a certain product is categorized this way. It could be that it’s sold so well that supply can’t keep up with demand. It could be that it’s being replaced with a higher-capacity model. Or it just could be — and you know where this is going — that it’s being phased out to make room for the one true video iPod. That seems to be the consensus
on the internets, and even some financial analysts are betting on that scenario. Shaw Wu, of American Technology Research, told clients that he believes Apple is working on a wide-screen video iPod with Bluetooth, and that his “checks” confirm this. Of course, we don’t know who Wu checked with. His sources could be right. Or Apple could be coming out with an 80GB version of the current model. Or just having a supply-chain hiccup. Or, well, you get it. And if you’ll excuse us, we’re now going to swim ashore and wash this muck off.” – engadget.com

Not sure what to think but it make since considering Apple’s recent move to test movie downloads on iTunes. I like that it will have bluetooth headphones more than anything. Dammit…and i just bought an iPod video.  Think my wife needs a new iPod Video anyways .

Werd!

Werd! Like many other blogs, this is an insight and perspective into my day-to-day life…the highs, the lows, the triumphs, the defeats, my opinions, fatherhood, parenthood and blah, blah, blah (started to rant and bore myself).

Anyways, hope to have some good (maybe even some bad), shiznit posted soon. In the meantime, please to be enjoying my blog and hope to check back in really soon.
