I was a big fan of the NeXT machines, and was quite dissapointedwhen NeXT stopped producing their own hardware.Then Steve Jobs went to Apple, and started turning them intoalmost NeXT like boxes.They aren't too bad, but often they are too toylike.It's complex, and too long for an intro.Here are how my viewpoints of Apple have changed over almost a decade.
- Go anywhere, do anything, and play your way in The Elder Scrolls Online.
- Cube Life: Island Survival is an open-world, block building, survival game, taking place on a beautiful remote island. Imagine being shipwrecked and stranded left for dead, with only your will to survive. You must explore, build, craft, and fight your way to stay alive.
- Get more done with the new Google Chrome. A more simple, secure, and faster web browser than ever, with Google’s smarts built-in.
What OS would I need to get this up and running? Anything from the computer's original OS up to and including Mac OS X 10.4.11. Mac OS X 10.5 will run on it but cannot be installed through the normal method. No intermediate versions are required, but you cannot use a disk which shipped with another Mac model.

Random Notes
Check this out for details and noteson my experience with the PowerMac and MacOS-X.
MacOSX 10.1.5
Use -no-cpp-precomp to turn off the stupid pre-compiled headersthat Apple seems to be fond of.
Although gcc-2.95.2 is installed, it isn't gcc-2.95.2 and doesn't havethe expected c++ libraries. Instead the libraries provided are incompleteand brain-dead. How come apple ships gcc-2.95.2 and doesn't provide thesources to people can install it correctly?
Try powerpc-apple-bsd as the GNU configure platformdesignator. powerpc-apple-macos doesn't work.
Apple made the Apple Digital Speakers; Ibelieve they released them with the Cube and the surviveduntil G5s came about.These things are are shaped like large spheres, slightly largerthan a baseball, made of clear plastic, and have,silver/chrome and white speaker horns.I recently picked up a unused set to try with my old G4 --man those are pretty nice speakers.Though small they have rock solid reproduction for quite a varietyof audio output -- music, speech, sound effects.For their small size, their audio output is amazing:
- No hiss
- No distortion
- Giant sound from a small package (ported even)
- Wide range of output - bass to treble.

- D-Link DBT120 (Rev B2) Bluetooth adapter can be used for magic mouse on non-bluetooth macs. It is the only device supported by apple to do wake via bluetooth.
- Asus USB-BT21 mini bluetooth dongle may work with everything.
Terminal Magik
Unforunately Apple treats technical computer users as idiots.They provide zero documentation and tools for doing useful things.Worse of all they keep on saying that everything that usesthe shell is scary magic crap.Because of that, here are some starting points to using mac tools..

iTunes
For a couple of years my old versions of iTunes could no longerget tracks from CDDB / GraceNote.It Appears that as of Spring 2009 that the older version of iTunesare working again.I guess they turned the old interfaces back on.Yay!
- iTunes 4.7.1 (or maybe 4.8) is the last MacOSX 10.1.5 iTunes
- iTunes 4.7.1 will get tracks from Gracenote as of 2008, iTunes 4.6 will not :(
- As mentioned above, in 2009, iTunes 2 now can get tracks again.
- When iTunes 4 and newer update an older library .. they put the date added field to be the same as the update date, not the date the track was laid on the disk (apple's added creation date). Which means all your songs suddenly were added at once, instead of being added across your lifetime. As of writing this there is no clear way on how to fix this properly.
- iTunes 4.x added arrows to the Apple Store for things . however it even adds arrows for your own created music that it thinks knows what is up. Ooops. And they are a bit annoying. Earlier versions of iTunes have an option to get rid of these in the Preferences. Later Versions (somewhere in the iTunes 8 series i believe) eliminated this preference .. but it is still available under the covers through the defaults mechanism:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links -bool FALSE
-- Disables 'Arrow Links' in iTunes -- They even appear on my Voice memos!defaults write com.apple.iTunes invertStoreLinks -bool YES
-- Arrows point to your music library, not iTunes store.- iTunes >= 8 no longer allows selecting play music while importing; to config:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes play-songs-while-importing -bool TRUE
- To hack config settings on the Win32 version of iTunes, you need to edit the
iTunesPrefs.xml
file. For example, to do the above, you need to put an key/data combination in the&userPreferences
dict: Hint, the encoded string may just be 'True' or 'YES' encoded. <key>play-songs-while-importing</key>

Backing up MacOSX
Cube Guy (f2p_pancakes) Mac Os Download
With MacOSX Leopard Apple provides a simple backuputility with every mac -- Time Machine.It's great, it works, etc.It isn't anything new though -- it is just a copy of several olderbackup systems which do the exact same thing.But the great thing about it is that it ships on every mac and everybodycan do backups for the price of an external drive.If you got it -- USE IT!
It doesn't do everything, such as creating a bootable backup,but the leopard disk can restore your box from time machine, so youcan get yourself back to just what it was before whatever broke.
Time Machine isn't a long duration backup mechanism -- unless youcan backup the TimeMachine backups.I think Time Capsule's have an archive option, and I want to check thatout.

HyperCard & Clones
HyperCard is/was a very powerful software projectcreated by Apple Computer for the Macintosh.HyperCard allows you to organize information as a set of indexcards.Just that functionality itself is quite powerful.You can generate address books, keep records, flash cards for studying, etc.But wait .. its also a database of sorts.But wait, it has a scripting language and the cards can actuallydo things.. such as generating content.And they can work with all the various items and objects that a Macintosh has available .. image, sound, video, whatever!
To give you an idea of how powerful HyperCard is ..the computer game Myst, which has graphics, complex puzzles,interactions .. is just a HyperCard Stack!People have written multi-user business systems in HyperCard!
Unfortunately, Apple decided to abandon HyperCard, seemingly on theverge of its next release.Some other organizations and companies make HyperCard look-a-likes orclones.It is said that the original HyperCard leaves them in the dust, even withtheir years of improvement.Apple has left a HyperCard Player application to play existingHyperCard Stacks, but you can't create new content with it.
Some people argue that the SmallTalk environment is the logicalsuccessor to HyperCard.Smalltalk is a wonderful environment, a real programming language, tool,and graphics all rolled together.The only difficulty is that if you just want cards.. you have to buildit all over again.

If you're a regular Softpedia user and Mac head, you probably noticed we skipped a week with our usual Mac Apps of the Week. Don't worry, we included the cool stuff we found last week in today's piece. As usual, every piece of software detailed below is free to download, install and use.
ChocloTask
Currently at its first public release, ChocloTask is just another task manager, but just as developer ChocloSoft puts it.. 'Stop complaining, it's free!' For those who can't get enough free organizing tools, ChocloTask is probably the easiest reminder tool for Mac OS X users since it doesn't clog up your view with an actual calendar. You simply check the boxes on and off, setting reminders on a per-task basis That's it!
As a Mac app, ChocloTask would have probably done a better job, had it been able to sync with iCal. On the one hand, ChocloSoft notes, an 'arguably' more sophisticated system is available within this app, to manage tasks. Those are the subtasks. ChocloSoft provides a comprehensive (and rather funny) example of what its free organizing tool does:
Since you probably got the idea already, here's where ChocloTask will come in most handy:
- rearrange and assemble a list of tasks any way you want- assign a list of subtasks to every task- color-code your tasks and set a reminder for each- beep, play music, or even read the task name out loud!- if you really need to focus on something else, you can set ChocloTask to an opaque background window- promote tasks for which a reminder has fired, or demote tasks which you have marked as completed, all automatically- use the dock to notify you of reminders.
ChocloTask uses the Sparkleframework, which allows it to update itself whenever a new version is made available. You will, of course, be prompted to accept or decline the update.
There are other alternatives to ChocloTask, in case you were looking for a different organizing tool. Although ChocloTask 'aims to scratch an itch that none of the other applications quite reach,' it may turn out that the program isn't what you need, so you could also look into these similar products: Anxiety (Free), Check Off (Free), Dejumble ($19), TaskPaper ($18.95), Things ($39) or Today ($15). A lot of task management applications that already exist for the Mac do their bit, but not everybody has the same habits, or tasks to accomplish, so naturally, you have to have diversity in the tools as well.
ChocloTask is available HERE as a free download. This Leopard-only app is a Universal Binary - good for PPC and Intel-based machines.
CubeTwister
CubeTwister is your companion to your Rubik's Cube, which uses a highly-configurable editor for cube scripts / maneuvers. The application is suitable for beginners, cube lovers, speed-cubers and mathematicians alike, who can use it as a tool to solve scrambled cube situations, to document their collection of cubes, describe solution algorithms and show off to fellow mathematicians, or simply analyze the permutations of cube parts.
CubeTwister provides Accurate 3D models of Rubik's Cube 3x3, Pocket Cube 5x5, Barrel Cube, Diamond Cube, Pocket Cube 2x2, Revenge Cube 4x4, and Octahedron Cube. All models can have individual color schemes and can even be disassembled. You can edit the models to reflect your personal collection of cubes, but you can also use the configurable parser which supports quarter-turn twists, half-turn-twists, rotations, permutations, inversions, reflections, repetitions, conjugations, commutations, and macros. You can define your own notation, and you can translate between notations. Using CubeTwister's database for scripts, maneuvers and patterns, you can organize Cubes, Notations, Scripts and Texts in a tree structure. The documents are saved in XML format and can be edited using other XML tools. You can enter all your scripts and supportive documentation too.
Cube Guy (f2p_pancakes) Mac Os Update
?The Kociemba Two-Phase Solver (derived from Greg Schmidt's KCube program) generates scripts which are only two or three twists longer than the optimal solution. Users enter an arbitrary state of the cube and let it solve. Using the solver you can also optimize your scripts and ultimately publish your scripts on the web for everyone to see your genius. HTML pages with interactive Java applets can be created for each cube design and cube script, while QuickTime movies and video still images can be created (exported) from the very same scripts.
Developer Werner Randelshofer says any OS is supported, including (but not limited to) Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, Unix and Windows. On some operating systems (especially Windows) you have to install a Java 2 Runtime Environment 1.5 (or higher) before you can install CubeTwister. The rest of the requirements call for 512 MB of RAM and 30 MB of free disk space.

SubnetMapper
As a network administrator, you need to keep track of managed IP networks, free ranges that are available for assigning and documenting a network setup, and more. Thomas Thiel has come up with a free and easy solution to this, called SubnetMapper. The software is aimed at admins looking to manage and document small to medium networks. It can prints and display little maps of a network. The maps are colourable, just like in the good ol' cisco days, the developer notes.
Just to clear any possible misunderstanding right from the start, SubnetMapper runs solely on Mac OS X and there is no port available or planned. So, here's how it works:
The screenshot above represents the default document window of SubnetMapper. You can have multiple maps open at once, according to Thomas. By clicking on a subnet (its rectangular representation on the map) it will be selected and its border will appear red. To deselect a subnet just click anywhere on the map, either selecting another subnet or deselecting all subnets. From this point forth, you can use the following functions:
Save: Blocky the thief mac os. save your map to a file - you can open it using the standard methods like doubleclicking on a saved file or using the open file menu item.
Page Properties: Fishbowl (erika verkaaik) mac os. set the page properties for printouts.
Print: print out the map.
Add: add a new subnet - it will open a new dialog which will be documented farther down in this document.
Remove: remove the selected subnet - you can select a subnet by simply clicking on its rectangular representation.
Edit: edit the selected subnet - you can select a subnet by simply clicking on its rectangular representation on the map.
Color: change the color of the selected and following subnets.
This is the dialog box enabling you to add a new subnet. You can enter the IP address of your net here and specify either CIDR or the classic subnet notation. The dialog itself will make sure both input values will be in sync after editing of either value. By checking the checkbox you can use a default identifier for your new subnet which will be the subnet address you have entered in CIDR notation. The Identifier of a subnet is the data which is rendered into the rectangle on the map. The description field will be shown in the listing beneath the map.
Thomas says he would be happy to answer any questions regarding SubnetMapper, or listen to suggestions from other admins, so fell free to contact the guy here: [email protected]
