Mac DIY – How to Install Ubuntu Linux on your Mac!

Posted on September 8, 2009 by max

Tuaw has a great tutorial on how to install Ubuntu Linux on your Mac machine.  This uses Sun’s VirtualBox, which essentially lets you install any kind of operating system.  This is a great way to have another operating system under your main machine.  Of course, this isn’t a real install since it’s virtual but it still is a great way to have another operating system on your Mac without re-installing your main OS.

You can also use this on PCs in a similar way and works just as well FYI.

Lol, Microsoft is implying that Apple Macs are too expensive on their new ads, as seen in this vid. It’s true though, I “still” have bought 1 Mac in my whole entire life, that was for one of the graphic designers I hired, not for me. Of course, I will always need the extra features that PC give me, (ironic huh saying this and coming from a person who doesn’t like Windows) there’s so much more you can do on a PC.

Of course, I will never be satisfied with Windows, the operating system, but yes, PCs will

Obama to Ditch His RIM Blackberry for a Windows Mobile Phone? – I “Hope” NOT!

Posted on January 25, 2009 by max

Well while I *thought* for sure that Obama would be keeping his blackberry with special encryption provided by the NSA, that’s not the case and Obama might be ditching his RIM Blackberry for a Windows Mobile phone.

Now, when you think of stability of security, do you think of anything *Windows*???

Arghhh, this might be the worst decision ever if the President does decide to go with a virus-susceptible Windows p

GMail Hack – How to Access GMail when It’s Down!

Posted on October 28, 2008 by max

Well, Google Operating System blog shows the different modes you can use to access GMail when it’s down.

These are of course methods that would ultimately require that GMail servers are running but there are times when you will need hard copies of your GMail.

To do that, I think the best way is to have a separate domain name (such as Zedomax.com) and use the POP service to store your

Amazon Netbook Review Roundup!

Posted on October 10, 2008 by max

Here’s a round of of best netbooks you can get from Amazon today from our Laptop Blog:

Eee PC 1000H is probably the top-of-the-line netbook to get right now as it offers a 10″ screen,160GB hard drive, Windows XP, and Atom 1.6Ghz processor.  I like the fact that Eee PCs have been leading the netbook industry and you won’t be disappointed carrying this 3.1 pound beast in your bag. The battery life is estimated at 7 hours but I think as long as you get about 4-5 hours on this, that’s good enough.

There’s other models of Eee PCs,

Posted on September 19, 2008 by max

Here’s some guy who’s holding “I’m a PC” I guess.

It’s a good thing I don’t like Microsoft’s Vista marketing nor Apple’s deceptive adveristing otherwise, I’d be either Apple-butt-kisser or Windows-whore.

I have actually decided that neither Microsoft and Apple is my kind of company, my next computer will definitely have Ubuntu for sure.

I am sorry to say to all you Windows-lovers and Apple-lovers but the truth has to be told and big companies are really just taking you for a
