Hi, I'm a Mac… Beep, beep! (12)
on
The Fishbowl (22) permalink
It's pretty common, when reading discussion of Apple's “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” ads, to come across the comment: Sure, they're great ads but they don't work. John Hodgeman’s PC is far more likeable than Justin Long’s smug hipster Mac. This is missing the point. To illustrate, here are director Chuck Jones’ rules for writing Road Runner cartoons, copied from Wikipedia: Road Runner cannot harm the Coyote except by going “beep, beep”.

Install a New Hard Drive in a MacBook [How To] (16)
on
Lifehacker (7671) permalink
It's easy to install a new hard drive in your desktop computer, but laptops can be a whole other ball of wax, because the drive is usually wedged deep into the notebook's innards and it takes a lot more elbow grease to swap out. MacBook owner Dwight Silverman took the plunge when he filled up his drive and doubled his available gigabytage. This process varies from notebook to notebook, so if you've successfully installed a ...Shared by CampMaster (21) Coop (25) Gabe (14) Hasan (43) HejGustav (30) JasonV (2) kidmarmite (37) Kwasi (150) m0tafa.lin (15) Manny (50) Mick (39) Olli Sulopuisto (28) paco_reyes (20) Shane (4) vraicovi (17) Zoram (20)Contribute comment - Tampa Bay Doesn’t Deserve the Rays (1)

Google Blogoscoped (1173) permalink
Today there was a comic book in my mail, sent by Google and drawn by no less than Scott McCloud, creator of the classic Understanding Comics. Within the 38 pages, which I’ve scanned and put up, in very readable format Google gives the technical details into a project of theirs: an open source browser called Google Chrome. The book points to www.google.com/ch..., but I can’t see anything live there yet.

- Dan said: Awesome.
- Dileepa said: Microsoft is going to be in serious trouble. IE8 is not looking good. Firefox is on fire. Safari is gaining share via Macs. And now Google Chrome...
- Chris Wetherell said: Some people will go audibly apoplectic at hearing this news. "Another browser to deal with!" "Owww!" "KILLIT!?!1101@#!" Potentially, it might help to hear that A) it's open source B) it's based on WebKit so if you develop for Safari, you're good already.
- Sean said: I would be most interested in this. Especially if Google could use this browser to tie more of the Google services together.
- Mark Whiting said: Oh god this is such good news and a great way of putting it out. I can't wait for browsers to stop sucking as all the existing ones do.
