Run Mac OS X on a Generic PC: No Need to Hack Software

The Register Hardware's Chris Bidmead says:

"Eighteen months ago, if you wanted to run Apple's Mac OS X on a generic Intel box your only option was to fish around on the internet for a hacked version that modified all the relevant low-level calls.

"And then hope it worked on your hardware.

"Even if you managed to get it up and running, Apple's frequent operating system updates were to be dreaded and avoided....

"Towards the end of last year the tide began to turn...."

Apple Takes 10% of Canadian Computer Market

PR: The overall Canadian Client PC market (including Desktop and Portable PCs, but excluding x86 Servers) performed very close to forecast, with unit volume in the second quarter (2Q09) down 14.6% over the same period one year ago and down 12.0% from 1Q09, to reach 1.2 million units shipped. The final numbers in the second quarter were slightly worse than the - 14.0% year-over-year growth achieved in 1Q09 and the fewest shipments since the second quarter of 2006. Portable PC shipments performed slightly higher against projections, growing 9.9% year over year on more than 728,000 units shipped (compared to forecasted year-over-year growth of 8.3%). As expected, the impact of the overall economic climate is accelerating the decline of desktop PC shipments. For the quarter, desktop shipments were down 36.8% over the second quarter in 2008.

Historically, the second quarter is usually the weakest quarter of the calendar year. This, along with the bottoming out and stabilized rate of decline, has hopefully indicated that the market has reached the lowest point and is poised to rebound.

PC vendor share highlights include:

• HP continued to hold on to the top share in the overall Client PC market in the quarter, with 22.1% share, despite year-over-year unit growth of - 25.3%. The competition for the top spot in the overall Canadian PC market is still very tight, with Dell trailing HP by only 1.5 percentage points garnering a 20.7% market share.
• For the first time, Apple broke into double-digit market share with a 10.0% take of the overall PC client market. This was supported by very strong growth in portables, with Apple growing 24.8% YoY.
• For the second consecutive quarter, Acer took the top share in portables with 21.4% of the market. Acer's performance comes from the strength of their Mini Notebook offerings, which the vendor currently dominates with a 57.5% market share. Unit shipments into the SMB space have recovered strongly from a very weak 1Q09, growing 23.6% year over year compared to a 3.7% pullback in the first quarter. Of special note, consumer portables enjoyed a double digit year-over-year growth for the 24th consecutive quarter.

The explosive demand for Mini Notebooks continued to surge ahead after a slight pull back in the first quarter. Mini Notebooks ended the quarter with record unit volume of more than 114,000 units. Mini Notebooks are growing at an impressive 219.6% year over year. The adoption of the Mini Notebook form factor into the commercial space is continuing to flourish with commercial penetration at more than 25% of the units shipped.

"The second quarter has clearly indicated a shift in purchasing patterns, with Customers either buying low cost notebook PCs, including Mini Notebooks, or choosing Apple products," said Tim Brunt, Senior Analyst Personal Computing and Technology for IDC Canada.

The overall desktop PC market continued its rapid decline with a - 36.8% year-over-year growth. Demand for desktops has plummeted - 42.9% in the consumer space and a whopping - 37.4% in the SMB space. The white box space continues to decline dramatically down 52.8% year over year. "Channel margins have improved significantly for desktops, but the overall market for desktops is becoming more specialized and focused as the transition to mobile computing intensifies," Brunt said.

The overall consumer segment declined 12.9% year over year. This was hit hardest by the 42.9% drop in desktops, but held up with the 13.4% growth in portables. The success in the consumer space is directly attributed to the increasing demand generated by Mini Notebooks.

"Overall the second quarter had to be disappointing for most manufacturers, but the end of the year and into 2010 certainly looks more optimistic than it did just 3 months ago," added Brunt.

Mac Memory Upgrades a Thrill Ride You Should Get on Now

OWC Larry blogs:

"At the moment, most - if not all memory upgrades - are still selling for substantially below the prices the same upgrades went for this time last year. What's significant is that those prices a year ago were pretty much at lows already with the chipmakers (Micron, Hynix, Samsung, Etc) selling the parts at prices under that which it costs to produce . . . Due to the global economic meltdown at the end of 2008, costs that were already way below what was supportable dove to all new lows as the chipmakers needed to keep cash flow going. In 2009, we've seen productions reduced and entire producers (Qimonda/Infineon for example) completely exit production. As a result, prices had been easing up over the course of this year as the supply/demand equation has come into balance.

"Today's prices are still as much as 50% less than where the cost of various modules could easily be heading . . . After about two years+ of supply imbalance, we are seeing things start to move swiftly back to a cost level that - if nothing else - will ensure memory continues to be available while these producers stop bleeding red ink to turn out the parts.

"So, how do you turn this somewhat scary price ride into a fun, thrilling experience?"

Curing Das Keyboard's Clicky Conundrum: Maker to Offer Earplugs as Peace Offering

PR: The high-end Das Keyboard sports best-in-class German-engineered gold-plated mechanical key switches that provide tactile and audio feedback increasing typing speed and accuracy. Once you start typing, the tactile and audio clicks create positive reinforcing feedback. Das Keyboard now offers earplugs for those nearby a Das Keyboard enthusiast, in order to muffle the "clicky" keyboard's clicks

Like fingernails tapping on the keys of a piano, "Das Keyboard" can be one of the loudest, clickiest keyboards on the planet. Fortunately for coworkers and significant others, the makers of the high-end keyboard have developed a foolproof solution to the noise: earplugs.

The clicks did bother some of my coworkers at first

One woman came over to me and said, 'You're typing too loud!' Now everyone is impressed with how fast I can type because they can hear every keystroke.

Starting today, Das Keyboard will begin offering earplugs through their online store (www.daskeyboard.com) in addition to both of their current products - the "Professional," which has labeled keys, and its stealth counterpart, the "Ultimate," a totally letter-barren keyboard for the expert typist, gamer, or otherwise hard-core user.

The plugs are designed to quiet office hostility by allowing Das Keyboard users to present them as a peace offering to their neighbors. The plugs may also prove handy at NASCAR races, the shooting range, or at 3 a.m. when your spouse is snoring uncontrollably.

"The clicks did bother some of my coworkers at first," admitted Kyle Ridolfo, a 32-year-old Web developer in New Hampshire, who now owns three Das Keyboards. "One woman came over to me and said, 'You're typing too loud!'"

Reminiscent of IBM's "Model M" keyboard from the 1980s, the Das Keyboard employs mechanical, Cherry MX-style key switches. As typists hit each key, there's a "click" just before the key hits the end of its stroke and again as it bottoms out. The process leads to faster tactile response and thus faster, more accurate typing. It also feels pretty cool.

Das Keyboard users love the audible feedback sound, but their coworkers often complain that it sounds like the modern child of an electronic typewriter and an arcade machine.

Fortunately, if the earplug gifts fail to quell office anger, Das Keyboard officials say, the 2.6-pound typing machine is sturdy enough to be used as a protective shield. A warning, though: the Das Keyboard is amazing, but it is not yet bulletproof.

Also, the keyboard is not recommended for mothers with sleeping children, hunt-and-peckers who enjoy wallowing on soft keys or spies who need to type in complete silence. Users who returned to membrane-based keyboards complained they felt comparatively squishy and sluggish to Das Keyboard.

Ridolfo said his coworkers adjusted to his clicks and then learned something about him.

"Now everyone is impressed with how fast I can type because they can hear every keystroke," he said.

Das Keyboard is a subdivision of Metadot Corporation, a privately held technology company headquartered in Austin, TX dedicated to delivering innovative technology products to increase productivity and lower costs. Developed in 2005, Das Keyboard has been praised by major media outlets, techie magazines, geeks and regular people who use a keyboard for the entire workday. Major features include the high-quality, gold-plated, mechanical key switches, USB 2.0 hub, 6.6 foot USB cable and a sleek, glossy black surface with blue LEDs.

Parallels Desktop 'Switch to Mac Edition' Offers Lifeline to Frustrated PC Users

PR: Parallels, a leader in virtualization and automation software, has unveiled a complete solution designed to simplify the process of "switching" from a PC to Mac. Parallels Desktop Switch to Mac Edition empowers users to effortlessly make the move to Mac without the risk of losing familiar and important data and applications on their Microsoft Windows-based PCs. The product combines a set of easy-to-use tools and interactive tutorials with the industry leading Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac to help "Switchers" understand how to operate Mac OS X, transfer all PC data and applications, and seamlessly run their Windows applications on their new Macs.

"The growth in switching is partially due to the ease-of-use and cool capabilities of the Mac," said Serguei Beloussov, CEO of Parallels. "However, users don't want to lose the data they have accumulated and the applications they are already familiar with. Building on our proven track record of Mac innovation, we have addressed this concern and made learning the new operating system even simpler through interactive on-demand tutorials. These are combined with intelligent moving tools and our industry-leading Parallels Desktop for Mac, which offers the greatest performance and stability for running Windows seamlessly on Mac."

Switching from PC to Mac is on the rise: analyst reports on operating system market share show that Mac OS X market growth comes at the expense of Windows market share. While the overall PC industry saw declines of 3% for the quarter ending in June 2009, Apple sales were up 4% year over year. According to Apple's Q309 report, half of the Macs sold were to customers who had never owned a Mac before.

"Parallels is an industry pioneer in the development and delivery of Mac virtualization solutions," according to Laura DiDio, principal at Information Technology Intelligence Corp., a Boston-based research firm. ITIC's research indicates that three out of 10 corporations (30%) use Mac hardware and software in conjunction with Windows to dual boot and virtualize their desktop and server environments. "Now more than ever, businesses require products and tools like Parallels Desktop Switch to Mac Edition, that will assist IT managers and support integration and interoperability among heterogeneous environment," DiDio added.

Parallels Desktop Switch to Mac Edition is an industry-first solution that addresses the challenges facing prospective PC-to-Mac Switchers:

Learning Mac OS X

The Switch to Mac learning tools are designed to specifically address any questions or concerns associated with the transition from Windows to Mac. More than two hours of interactive video tutorials help users learn the new interface and functionality of the Mac platform step-by-step, starting with the Mac equivalent of tasks performed on Windows. A quick reference card identifies the most common Windows and Mac command/function differences and puts the correct keystrokes at users fingertips.

Making the Move

Also important to new Mac users is getting files and media from their old computer to their Mac. Parallels recognizes that many people need help with this process, and developed a "plug and click" method that moves the entire PC (licensed operating system, applications, files and data) to the new Mac. This includes the Parallels High Speed USB Transfer Cable that connects the two machines and the Enhanced Parallels Transporter: simple, wizard-driven software that walks the user through the move in a few easy clicks. The seamless Mac user experience now starts on the PC side.

Running Windows and Mac side-by-side

Parallels Desktop Switch to Mac Edition includes Parallels Desktop for Mac 4.0, the number one Mac system utility, currently used by more than two million people to run Windows side-by-side with Mac applications. This award-winning virtualization software provides a fully integrated seamless experience, offering users the greatest stability and performance available for running Windows on a Mac, as recognized in 3rd party industry benchmarks. Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac incorporates a range of security, backup and power saving features to give Mac users the easiest way to run Windows on a Mac.

"For years I have worked with switchers coming into Apple stores with questions about how to use their new Mac," says Saied Ghaffari, Switch to Mac Advocate. "Parallels Desktop Switch to Mac Edition thoroughly addresses the concerns switchers have and the product is designed to make moving to Mac as fast and simple as possible, regardless of the level of technical knowledge of the switcher. Innovative learning features like Click to Learn, Watch Saied, and You Try shorten the time switchers need to become comfortable with their Mac from two weeks down to about two hours. It's like a friend teaching you the Mac at your own pace."

Parallels Desktop 4.0 Switch to Mac Edition is available from today at Apple stores, at Apple.com and through other preferred retail partners in English, German and French. The suggested retail price (SRP) of the product is $99.99.

Parallels offers a range of free support options for customers of Parallels Desktop Switch to Mac Edition, from knowledge bases and forums to phone and email support. For more information, visit www.parallels.com/support/.

Online Bible 4.0.3 Preview

PR: It's been over a year since the developer posted an update to the Online Bible for OS X app, but they finally have a universal build that will run native on both a PowerPC and Intel Mac with OS 10.3.9. They've have done a lot of testing before posting it but with a larger group trying it should be able to find more bugs. If you're interested in testing it, you can download the preview for free.

This release has the Help Files so consider them as well as the program itself.

Online Bible is a full-featured program designed for serious Bible students. You can display Bible passages and notes in any number of windows. Most operations can be performed using either the mouse or keyboard commands. The program is both powerful and easy to use.

Macintosh Online Bible Version 3.0 CD contains more than 24 English versions plus much more new material. The version 4.0.3 programming is now on the web site and you can download a copy at no charge. This is an updated version of our program that runs well with OS X

In addition to the King James Version, over thirty other English versions (See Appendix below) are available. These include the 1984 New International Version, 1995 New American Standard Bible, 1982 New King James Version, 1989 New Revised Standard Version, 1996 New Living Translation, and many others.

See Appendix E at the back of the User's Manual for a detailed list of Bible texts and add-on modules currently available.

Complete search facilities include, word, phrase, multiple words, wild cards, and much more. Searches can use AND, OR, XOR, NOT, and proximity operators to select verses. The range for searches can be restricted. All verses are displayed in context rather than asking you to choose a verse from a list to display. Searches are very fast, taking only a second or two even on older Macs.

You can add notes to a verse using the built-in editor. Cross-references can be included in your notes for automatic recall. In addition to verse notes, topical material, pictures, and word studies can also be saved.

A special Copy Verses command is provided to copy Bible passages via the clipboard directly from the Online Bible to any currently running application. The format of the verses is controlled via preferences set by the user.
