Mmmmm tasty! iPhone with SSH, Python, BSD subsystem. Life is good.
I finally broke down and bought one of the Mac Heist bundles for $49. Although there has been some grumbling that Mac Heist is ripping off indie software developers, they entered into the deal of their own volition and it lets users get software at a good price. A portion of the sale also goes to charity. With any luck, Textmate will get unlocked (I have a license at work, but not for my personal laptop).
Want the fastest way to put your Mac right into a deep, sleepy-bear hibernation-like sleep (no whirling fan, no dialogs, no sound — nuthin’ — just fast, glorious sleep). Just press Command-Option and then hold the Eject button for about 2 seconds and Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. It doesn’t get much faster than that.
Apple Insider reports that the new Macbook laptops have user servicable hard drives. Awesome! I replaced my own G4 Powerbook hard drive when the factory one failed. I would not recommend this to anyone. The amount of various sized screws, hard to remove casings and tenously coupled cables make it an unfun adventure. Good to see they are learning from their mistakes.
