I have been watching with fascination the latest OSX86 developments. So far it seems like John C Dvorak’s theory is starting to come true. First talented Hackers have bypassed the restrictions that stop the intel version of OSX running on anything but the developer MacIntels and there are plenty of working set-ups out there.

Next Apple’s lawyers have made the owvners of Macbidouille.com pull the links to torrents of the videos showing OSX86 running on a Vaio.

If Dvorak’s right we’ll see plenty more legal posturing over the coming months/weeks before Apple “gives in” and releases OSX for mainstream hardware.

I know there’s a lot of opinions on this but now that OSX86 is out there and happening on standard AMD64s and P4 hardware, I would be surprised if Apple doesn’t release OSX for general consumption.

On a related note here’s a quick plug for two excellent podcasts. The first is MacCast a great resource for news on all mac related happenings. The second is This Week in Tech hosted by Leo Laporte and a whole bunch of other people including the aforementioned John C Dvorak, discussing all the latest tech news, in a highly entertaining way.

Using Loggerhead with mod_wsgi|(0)

Here’s a post I wrote over on the Project Fondue Blog about our use of Loggerhead with mod_wsgi under Apache. Loggerhead is the rather nice branch viewer for bazaar branches as used on Launchpad.net.

If you’re not already subscribed to the Project Fondue blog feed then I can recommend it, as there should be some interesting posts coming out of there in the coming months (yes I’m unashamedly biased!).

Ubuntu: Turn off changing workspace with mouse wheel|(1)

I found the changing with the workspace with the mouse wheel really annoying. To disable it go to System => Preferences => CompizConfig (available if the compizconfig-settings-manager package is installed) and uncheck “Viewport Switcher” which is under the “Desktop” heading.
