Lion Preview: Retina Display Macs coming soon?
![]() |
1024x1024 icon, click me |
I would love to have a Macbook with retina display, since i have the iPhone4 i got used to it and always shudder when i get the smartphone of a friend and those see those old school pixelated displays.
What is a retina display?
Based on the assertion that a display of approximately 300 ppi at a distance of 12 inches (305 mm) from one's eye is the maximum amount of detail that the human retina can perceive. Retina displays are displays that exceed this ppi ratiom. For example the iPhone4 has a ppi of 326.

Nostalgic Sunday - Installing Windows 3.1 in Boxer

Today we start with Windows 3.1
Windows 3.1 was first released during March 1992.
The year of Windows 3.1's release was successful for Microsoft, who were named the "Most Innovative Company Operating in the U.S." by Forbes Magazine, while Windows became the most widely-used GUI-based operating environment.

Trim Enabler - hack to enable TRIM on any SSD in Mac OS X
In computing, a TRIM command allows an operating system to inform a SSD which blocks of data are no longer considered in use and can be wiped internally.
TRIM was introduced soon after SSDs started to become an affordable alternative to traditional hard disks as permanent storage in PCs. Because low-level operation of SSDs differs significantly from traditional hard disks, the typical way in which operating systems handle operations like deletes and formats resulted in unanticipated progressive performance degradation of write operations on SSDs. TRIM enables the SSD to handle garbage collection overhead, that would otherwise significantly slow down future write operations to the involved blocks, in advance.

Burn - simple but advanced burning for Mac OS X

Optical media is on the eve of extinction, at least in the apple world. But still from time to time you need to burn a CD or DVD to exchange data. Mac OS X allows you to backup data to a writeable media directly in the Finder or let you burn a Audio-CD in iTunes but if you need more advanced options you need to use some third party app.
Burn is an excellent choice, its lightweight and still very powerful and should fullfil all your burning needs.

Vowl - Flickr Slideshow on your Desktop
Give Vowl a list of tags, and it displays an unattended slideshow of random Flickr photos matching those tags.
By default it shows you "cat", "dog", and "chicken" photos, but this can be changed in the preferences.
You can also customize the delay between each photo, and whether or not Vowl floats above all other windows.

Lion Preview: Versions
Versions records the evolution of a document as you create it. Mac OS X Lion automatically creates a version of the document each time you open it and every hour while you’re working on it. If you need to revert to an older version or retrieve part of a document, Versions shows you the current document next to a cascade of previous versions — in an interface similar to that of Time Machine — so you can see how your work looked at any given time. You can revert with a click, or quickly copy and paste work from a previous version into the current version.
