Reports surfaced earlier this week that someone had actually found a way to install Windows XP on an Intel based iMac. The hacker’s handle was reported to be narf2006, and he claimed that he had a functional install of XP running on an iMac, and that he could reproduce the process. Many were skeptical, including myself. As it turns out that narf2006 was indeed successful. Confirmations of his success began surfacing last night...
When Microsoft Office 2004 shipped almost 2 years ago, it promised a host of powerful and useful features. Most of those features were fulfilled but its ability to sync with other applications was not among those promises fulfilled. And when Apple released Spotlight in OS X 10.4, Microsoft was quick to state that Entourage could not support the feature. In January Microsoft announced that it would finally follow through on Office's sync services, and that its engineers had finally come up with a solution to the Spotlight issue...
With a prize of over $12,000 tempting would be hackers, there is a race underway to install Windows XP on Intel based Macs. Some do it for fun, others do it for the prize money, and some do it just because they want to run Windows on their Mac. Whatever the motivation, the flurry of chatter on the subject has turned into a full fledged storm since Apple released its first Intel based iMac in January...

Thinksecret.com is reporting that Adobe is pushing hard to release Creative Suite 3 (CS3) by the end of 2006. Apparently Apple is working closely on the project in an effort to bring the software to market as soon as possible. While an exact date has yet to be determined, this is the first encouraging news on the subject...

Since Apple released its Intel based Macs earlier this year, it has been clear when Apple will update its professional software packages to run on the new systems. Apple has plainly stated that the updates will be available in March of 2006... this month, in fact. At the same time, Apple was quick to point out that all of the applications that ship on its new machines, such as iLife, already run native on the new hardware. And while other software makers rush universal binary version of their applications to market, one software giant has been slow to make the conversion...
What do you do if your are a hard core Mac head and you are lucky enough to already have a MacBook Pro in your hot little hands? While you wait for Apple to release their Pro apps and while you curse Adobe for their unwillingness to port Creative Suite 2 to the Intel chipset, you might want to consider upgrading your laptop.
Project Motorsport started out as a fun way to spend an afternoon. We set out to shoot some motorcycle video and have a good time. Once when we brought the video back and began to edit, we realized we had the making of a music video.
Check out the video and see for yourself. And, if your interested in further information on the project, we give you that too!
The Freedom to Switch:
In 2003 Apple Computer released a marketing campaign with the intention of showing Wintel users how easy it would be to "switch" platforms.
One of the Mac's main selling points, ironically enough, was Digital Video Editing. Apple wanted the world to see how easy it was to edit video on the Mac platform. And, in overwhelming response, Mac users set out to show the world just how easy it really was.
The campaign was effective for Apple, but also spawned a unexpected parody campaign in the Mac underworld. Users from all of the world whipped out their camcorders and set to work making spoofs in the same cinematic style as the acclaimed commercial line.
With this, Maclive.net rose to the challenge and shot our own spoof. We think it proves that a Mac can be a powerful tool in the wrong hands. It also shows how far a couple of Mac fans will go for a laugh. We hope you enjoy our contribution, aptly named The Freedom to Switch.
