EFI-X’s OS X hack dongle always seemed too good to be true; according to a new report from Tom’s Hardware, it really was. The adapter promised to take a computer built from standard PC components and allow Mac OS X to be installed on it, without the usual patching and tweaking required for a regular “Hackint0sh”. However, as one EFI-X owner has discovered, it seems the company did little more than repackage Chameleon/Boot-132 bootloader code onto a DRM-encrypted USB stick.

Creative's Vado HD has been out for quite some time now, and it looks like they're finally getting around to giving the small HD video camera some extra attention. Especially in the looks department. We're sure it has something to do with the fact that the competition's prices are dropping, and obviously this just goes to show you that a little competition never hurt anybody. Especially our wallets.
I am sort of Mac agnostic, I don’t love the company and I don’t hate them. I had a MacBook once and ran Windows on it more than I did Mac OS so I sold it. I love me some iPhone though and couldn’t imagine giving mine up. I am very intrigued by the Apple tablet rumors and I have been hoping for a cool tablet running Mac OS X to try out.
I am not a fan of social networking, but my wife is always on Facebook uploading pictures and what not. The problem for me is that no matter how many times I show her how to upload photos, she forgets each time. I think it may be a wife scam to get me to do the uploads for her.
Ask any Mac owner and they’ll likely tell you the Apple allure is a game of two halves: the reassuring hardware and the slick, consistent OS. Apple is finally delivering their latest version of OS X, v10.6 Snow Leopard, adding a new coat of polish to the company’s software prowess. SlashGear has been testing out Snow Leopard over the past few weeks, and we’ve found that perhaps its most satisfying aspect is that it upgrades things both visibly and less obviously, rather than one or the other. After the cut, why 64-bit matters, how Apple have streamlined the way you interact with your data, and why Snow Leopard might just be the bargain of the year.
I am not a Mac user myself, but I know a few people who are and one of the biggest challenges can be getting software that is compatible with the Mac OS. Windows users take new devices for granted since most everything for computers supports Windows.
Parallels have released a new virtualization package intended to make first-time transitions to Mac from Windows all the more straightforward. The Parallels Desktop Switch to Mac Edition consists not only of the company’s Parallels Desktop 4.0 app – which allows you to run Windows apps on an OS X machine – but a data migration cable that automatically transfers programs and files to your new machine.
Apple’s online stores are back, and they’ve brought with them preorder pages for OS X Snow Leopard. The Cupertino company have confirmed the much-rumored August 28th shipping date, which is earlier than their previous “in September” promises, along with delivering a whole range of performance stats to tell you just how much better Snow Leopard is compared to its predecessor, Leopard.

There's been all sorts of rumors and speculations and "leaks" pertaining to the supposed release date of Apple's upcoming Operating System (OS), Snow Leopard, but for one lucky guy, none of that matters. It looks like someone got an early release copy of a Snow Leopard Install Disc with their purchase of a Mac Mini.
Apple have quietly revealed shipping information about Mac OS X Snow Leopard, with the UK listing for the software refresh indicating a “by August 28th” shipping date. Meanwhile several US preorder customers have apparently received emails informing them that their version should ship by the same date.
