I thought only myself feel OS X Lion (Mac mini 2011) run slower than Snow Leopard! But actually many Mac fans complaining same problem too.

Yea..see our Mac Lion is like the sleepy Lion below. Feel so tired and run a lot slower than Snow Leopard! Shouldn’t we have to admit the fact that Lion run slower than Leopard?

This is another reason why I still haven’t upgrade my Macbook Snow Leopard. See the comparison datasheet below then you know why Snow Leopard run faster in overall. (more…)

I’m so excited when received phone call from DHL that our Mac mini 2011 has arrived, sent by Apple Online!

Instead of waiting for them to send to my door step, I prefer to collect myself to make sure it on my hand in shortest time

The smallest desktop – Apple Mac mini 2011 as below. What you see is what you get, no extra no less. Not even a keyboard or mouse!

But its tiny size with aluminum body is pretty Amazing!

Yes, I have no choice to buy a normal windows keyboard and mouse in combo pack. The Apple magic mouse and wireless keyboard are too expensive for me! (more…)

I’m worrying my blog is dying soon if not update now. So what topic to talk about? Of course is the so-called “Most Advanced Operating System” in the Universe, not only World – The Mac OS X Lion!

I’m using Mac OS X Leopard for nearly 2 years and very satisfied with it. Frankly I seldom shutdown my Mac, except apply update and low battery. Other than that, I may shutdown or restart once every 2-3 months to refresh the system. From here you know how stable is this Leopard OS.

Mac App Store is now selling OS X Lion (The new desktop King) at $29.99. Now the question is it worth for the upgrade?

I have decided to give up VirtualBox to run Windows 7. It is too slow for my Ms Access application and other third party software.

The best way to resolve the slow performance is install Windows 7 on its native Windows environment by using Boot Camp for Mac OS. Boot Camp is a build in utility in Mac, for Windows user.

How To Setup Boot Camp?

Boot Camp helps to create Windows partition easily. Go to Applications > Utilities > Boot Camp Assistant, create the Windows partition size you want. 15GB is enough for my 3rd party software + Windows 7.

Once created the partition, restart your Mac and insert Windows installation DVD. Follow on screen instruction to format the newly created Windows partition. You have to be extra careful when format partition. ONLY format the ‘Bootcamp’ partition that you have created. By deleting wrong partition could cause your Mac OS and data gone!

The Windows 7 took sometime to install. Go for a break while waiting. Once completed, restart your Macbook (iMac, MacBook Pro, whatever) while holding ‘Option‘ key when machine starting up. It should prompt 2 choice: Mac OS or Windows. Select Windows to boot up.

Opps..no drivers? Insert Install Mac OS DVD and setup all drivers. Cool! Now Windows 7 run on my awesome Macbook. (more…)

Plain desktop make our computer looks boring. We should make full use of what we have paid for, the processor, memory, etc.

BumpTop Mac reinvented a new way to look at your Mac desktop. It is a full 3D experience with smooth and realistic physics to make the desktop more realistic.

It organize the desktop better. You may clean up, pile, grow or shrink desktop icons ask you like. The single desktop can be extend to 5 walls with different wallpaper and icons.

I would like to review the BumpTop Pro version (paid version) on Multitouch Gestures for more realistic action. I have wrote an email to BumpTop for temporary serial but didn’t hear any reply from them. (more…)
