July 8 in Low End Mac History

July 7 - July 9

2002

Banned by Macworld, pro and con, Jeff Adkins, Mac Lab Report. Is it really a bad thing if Apple is taking notice of your website?
Window XS and world domination, Anne Onymus, Rumor Mill. How XS will help Microsoft move from antitrust violations to complete world domination.
OS X: More than just another Unix variant, Zack Martin, My Turn. Working with desktop Linux creates even more respect for what Apple has accomplished in Mac OS X.
Guesses for Macworld Expo, Dan Knight and Anne Onymus, RumorLog. Our best guesses at what Apple might introduce at the Expo.
Blacklists, Quicklinks, and site finances, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. Thoughts on the Expo blacklist, a new Mac headline news service, and Low End Mac funding.

2003

Hooked by the iBook, Jeff Campbell, My First Mac. "The moment I saw the iBook I was hooked, and by August I had one in my hands."
Future Apple and IBM cooling strategies, Jeff Adkins, The Lite Side, 07.08. "Okay, you've been waiting in helpless anticipation for people to start ridiculing the new G5's collection of fans - what are there, 20 fans or something inside the case?"
Panther and the beige G3, unreadable CD-Rs, free music, and more, Dan Knight, Low End Mac Mailbag. Supporting older Macs not a win-win situation, mailbag musings, OS X on a FireWire drive, building your own Mac clone, and an iChat AV suggestion.

2005

Future 'Book to use iPod as trackpad?, Intel's Yonah CPU destined for Macintel 'Books?, The 'Book Review. Apple patent filing uses iPod as trackpad, a look at Intel's 'Yonah' CPU, and bargain 'Books from $230 to $2,299.

2008

Safari 3.1 Is the best browser for Macs and for Windows, Carl Nygren, Classic Macs in the Intel Age. Apple's Safari browser is fast, lightweight, and compatible with pretty much any website that doesn't require users to run Windows and Internet Explorer 5.5 or later.
More air: Expectations for future MacBook and MacBook Pro models, Dan Knight, Mac Musings. Next generation 'Books are expected to include Intel's next generation Montevino processor, but wireless power and wireless USB could give Apple a leg up on the competition.
Time Machine can now backup to a shared hard drive, Alan Zisman, Zis Mac8. Earlier versions of Leopard didn't seem to allow backup to a shared drive on another Mac, but the 10.5.4 update allows it.

2009

Default Folder X: An old friend rediscovered, Dan Knight, Low End Mac Reviews. I've used Default Folder with the Classic Mac OS since 1992, but only tried the OS X version recently.
Proporta Protective Laptop Bag capacious and affordable, Charles Moore, 'Book Value. "I really like this bag. It's a clever, sensibly practical, and amazingly capacious designed, considering its light weight, svelte dimensions, and clean styling."
New browser for classic Mac OS, Safari 4 and OS X 10.4.11, and more, Charles Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings. Also Mac apps for searching Craigslist and less known options for controlling iTunes and iPhoto behavior.
