Mac lower price on one of their MacBook Air models

The very acclaimed computer MacBook Air is becoming cheaper since Mac has decided to lower the price with 500 bucks. There are two different versions of MacBook Air, one that has got a weaker CPU (Intel Core 2 Duo 1,6 GHz), regular hard drive of 80 GB and one model with a stronger processor (Intel Core 2 Duo 1,8 GHz), solid-state drive of 64 GB. The last computer mentioned is affected by the lowered price. Apple has cut the price by 16% which imply 500 dollars. I'm not personally interested in buying a MacBook Air because I find the price is entirely too high. Apple Store set the price to $1,799 for the cheapest one and $2,598 for the more powerful MacBook Air computer. If you are going to buy a MacBook Air, then I suggest that you wait a couple of days to get the computer $500 cheaper.

Microsoft is loosing its market shares to Mac

Microsoft's is loosing some of its market shares. Microsoft "only" has about 90% of the market. Above all, it's Mac that slowly cut down on Microsoft's monopoly. The company Net Applications indicates that 90.89% of all computers use Windows OS. Mac OS X is upcoming star with 7.94% of Internet connected PCs. Linux only have 0.80% of the market. Personally I use Ubuntu Linux, and it will do fine, even if it is some difficulties before you get the operating system to act as you want. Ubuntu requires some juggle to get movies, music, etc working. Otherwise it's a rather good alternative for former Windows users. Read more at Net Applications homepage.

Overclock your Mac with ZDNet Clock

There are a multitude of overclocking tools for Windows. I even got one when a purchased a new motherboard to my computer. The program was included in the installation disc. For Macintosh, it has been a little more difficult to get overclocking tools. Until now. German ZDNet has developed a program called ZDNet Clock to overclock Macintosh computers. According to ZDNet, it is possible to overclock a Mac Pro on clock speed 2.8 GHz to around 3.2 GHz. If you have a Mac Pro or an Apple Xserve server, feel free to try the ZDNet program. Just remember that you do it at your own risk. Don't blame me if something is going wrong during the process. Link to the download page of ZDNet Clock can be found here.

Blu-ray burner to Mac Pro and Power Mac

MCE Technologies has released a Blu-ray recorder that works to the Mac Pro and Power Mac. The recorder is able to burn on 25GB discs at a speed of 6X and 50GB dual-layer discs at a speed of 4X. The recorder is compatible with DVD+R/+RW Dual/Double Layer, DVD-RAM, and CD-R and CD-RW, but also capable of reading the HD DVD-ROM and burn LightScribe discs. The recorder sales in different versions and what distinguishes is the software that comes with the package. It is possible to get the recorder, but with software for $499, or with burning software Toast Titanium 9 + Toast BD/HD Plug-in for $599, or for those who have got a lot of money, with Adobe Premier Pro CS3 for $1295.00. It should, however, be clear that it takes her little time to burn a Blu-ray disc of 50GB at the speed of 4X. It the only disadvantage (in addition to the price then) that it takes a that long time to burn that much information in such a low speed. To learn more about MCE Technologies' new burner read here.

iTunes and QuickTime update installs Safari for Windows

If you are using either Apple's iTunes or QuickTime then you will risk to auto-download Apple's new web browser Safari 3.1 for Windows. QuickTime and iTunes are using an auto-update tool to automatically download new software updates. This time the update tool will try to install the Safari browser along with the other updates. Users of the two programs therefore risk to install unwanted software at the moment they update iTunes and QuickTime. Mozilla CEO John Lilly complain that Apple's strategy borders on malware distribution habits. He also says that the behavior may effect people in the way that some won't trust auto-updates furthermore. Lilly said something important here, because it's very important to maintain the relationship between software users and the software companies. In any event, users should be aware of pre-checked options before installing new softwares and updates.
