The point is arguable, but I find myself longing to upgrade to Lion right now, which would be possible on a Mac. I love computer tinkering, as do most of us, but there comes a point where I'd like my computer to be more or less self-sufficient. My hackintosh is indeed remarkable stable and works flawlessly 95% of the…

I've always said: you should never, never, depend on a hackintosh for anything other than fun and pleasure. If you need OS X for school, work, or somehow maintain your livelihood with it, buy a real Macintosh, because you really will get everything Apple brags about: speed, reliability, "it just works", all of the…

Laptops are hard. Respect.

Must have misunderstood you at first, apologies.

Details and Restrictions, for gits and shiggles:

Found out I can get Comcast today, which is strange, considering I live deep in the boonies. We've only been able to AT&T DSL Direct for a while now, which is $45 for 6/1.5Mbps

Gawker sites are terrible on Safari, although they've gotten better. If you use Adblock it's even worse though.

The idea being you sell your old iMac

Lion deletes the install application you downloaded after completing the installation, which would've freed up about 4GB. Not sure about the rest though. Rosetta doesn't take up that much more space.

This is why the lord almighty created the heavens, the earth, craigslist, and stupid people with lots of money who browse craigslist.

Because Apple.

Stack the $79 Superdrive on top of it and it's still cheaper than the last model. But what's an HTPC besides a streaming box with a browser nowadays, and it only has a 500GB hard drive.

Do I have to rebuy all my Beatles albums in 4K now?

It's just an excuse for me to do a general wash my hands honestly.

I believe apps have to be optimized for the new scrollbars, just as they have to for fullscreen, versions, autosave, etc.

My mistake then. Apologies.

Lion's scrollbars are iOS style by default. They only appear when scrolling and are nonclickable (and tiny).

And not exactly broader...
