OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview Installation

Just one day after the surprise announcement of the next version of everyone's favourite operating system, I got the chance to test out the developer preview that Apple released to test apps and find bugs. Along with my friend Zac, we installed the first developer preview of OS X Mountain Lion onto his Late-2010 iMac. We decided to make a two part video to capture the details and processes of installing it, one part on each of our channels. We installed it onto an 8GB USB flash drive due to partition issues on the iMac, but still got good enough performance to show off. Overall, I am very impressed at what Apple has done with Mountain Lion and I hope you enjoy this 2 part series.

Want to Speed Up Safari On Mac?

Safari 4 on Mac can sometimes be slow, laggy, glitchy or full of beach balls! Just one line of script in Terminal and you are set with a nice and faster Safari. I can almost guarantee you that Safari will be somewhat snappier after using the codes and restarting your Mac or Safari.

Awesome iTunes 9 Mod (Mac and PC)

I was just browsing through one of my favorite sites, Deviant Art and I found this amazing mod for iTunes 9! It is available for Mac OSX, Tiger and up, as well for Windows, Windows Vista and 7. 

Windows Version - http://rfly.me/win

Now, the installation is self explanatory, but I have also attached a video doing so and what it looks like. Thanks for reading and watching!

Happy Birthday Macintosh!

Today is the 26th birthday of the Apple Macintosh computer. On January, 24, 1984 Steve Jobs unveiled the first Mac. It was the Macintosh 128K. It was the start of the Apple dynasty and Steve Job's glory, and as they say.... the rest is history. The Mac has since then grown, with the Mac Pro, MacBook line, Mac Mini and iMac at the time. Here is a clip of Steve Jobs displaying the Macintosh 128K for the first time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0FtgZNOD44

And myself saying Happy Birthday to the Mac!

Review: AppZapper 2

AppZapper, also known as 'The uninstaller Apple forgot', was released a couple of weeks ago. The developers of the software, Austin Sarner and Brian Ball, have worked hard on redesigning some of the UI in the second release and have also added another feature.

One of the major new features of AppZapper is that you can still drag the application you want to uninstall from your Mac into the application and it'll get the related files for that particular application but there is now a finder to find the application you want to get rid off.

Hit the slider in the top right hand corner of AppZapper window and slide it to reveal a new menu. It looks like a iPhone page of applications but the applications featured are ones that run on your Mac. Choose one you want to delete and at the bottom, it shows what components will be deleted along with the application itself.

Simple! I know you can get free or cheaper applications than AppZapper, but at only $13 (£8) you can't get much better value on an application. You can try it for 5 zaps by downloading from the AppZapper website. 

However, you can't zap me from Twitter!
