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.
