Looking at the feature list for apples latest OS update i finally decided to wait and see first. My brother just got a family license so he will be using. However since i have a first gen MacBook im unsure if it is going to be worth it. The speed increase would be nice but there are mix reports if it will work with my Mac. When its been out a few months maybe I will go and buy one of the cheapest (not including free ones) OS upgrades available.

August 29th, 2009How to get the Windows MBR working from a linux live cd
August 27th, 2009I spent a good hour trying to find something like this so I thought I should re post the link.
This uses a tool called ms-sys and all you need to do is boot into a linux live cd and install it (see link below) and then
ms-sys -m /dev/sda
Replace sda with the hard disk you want the boot record to be on.
and you are done

Rolling your own Android rom for HTC Magic (SAPPHIRE)
August 11th, 2009I followed this guide here
A very good guide to the basic steps for creating a Dream Rom. However as I don’t have a dream there wasn’t a lot i could do after it was built.
Also as the Sapphire config files were not provided so i couldn’t roll my own. So I have attempted to hand crank the config files or find them on my phone.
here are some basic steps to take after you have checked out the source following this guide
1) Copy vendor/htc/dream-open to vendor/htc/sapphire
2) you can delete the files with trout in the name
3) untar the following config files in to the vendor/htc/sapphire
4) Continue with the steps in the guide until you get up to the lunch command. Replace it with
lunch htc_sapp-eng
You should then be able to build the code. I am not saying that these config files are perfect but they should at least get people started.
if there are any mistake or anything missed please let me know.
