Mac 101: Building a bootable diagnostic and repair flash drive

Dec 2nd 2009 5:03PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

If you want a good experience off a flash drive you need something with decent speed. If a flash drive is too slow the install will fail part way through the installation.

I'd suggest this drive from newegg.

It's 16GB and is fast as a mofo.

Mac 101: Building a bootable diagnostic and repair flash drive

I use Apple Partition Map as the partition scheme for my diagnostic drive. It will boot both Intel and PPC Macs. The key for me was to have a single drive I could boot all hardware from. Being a full time Mac tech it's a life saver.

Put Things Off is an iPhone task manager worth owning

I use this app and totally love it. It's the first productivity app that I've actually stuck with because it works how I work.

ONE THING---- They NEED to add badge numbering for things on the today list. It would make this the perfect app for me.

The dev claims it will be coming in the next update... we'll have to wait and see.

Finally.... HOWARD SRERN on my iPhone!

I listen to his show daily from a download but it will be nice to have the option to listen live too. :)

Awesome, because the edit you posted previous did not work for me. :)

Beejive IM updated to 2.0, includes audio messaging

How odd... Version 1.1.1 is still showing up in the App Store for me.

Fixing the Image Upload widget

I commented out like 287 and added your supplied code... didn't work for me.

Tried it twice. Using TextMate. Once saved the Widget is unusable and dragging images results on no action at all.

Apple updates MobileMe web apps

Dec 23rd 2008 9:34AM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

Are you using older hardware to access them? AJAX sites like MobileMe are very CPU intensive. MobileMe is fast and responsive on my Macbook Pro but almost unusable on my parents eMac G4.

Go to another AJAX intensive page like http://www.protopage.com/ and see how well it run on your system.

Apple updates MobileMe web apps

But we're still waiting on a feature promised at launch. iDisk is supposed to have a share feature... so you can select any file and select a share file link to give to others for simple download.

What could possibly be taking them so long on such a simple feature.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
