Upgrading Tiger to Leopard
With all the news and great reviews about Leopard flying around, I decided to upgrade as well. Last week, I got my copy of Leopard and set to do the work. I had never formatted and reinstalled my iBook before, so it was quite scary at first. It certainly went through my mind, what if it failed, crashes or something. Nevertheless, I had to do it, so first thing I did was backup. I downloaded SilverKeeper, a freeware for backing up your whole Macintosh HD to another external HD without having to compress any files. So it’s like ghosting in Windows, although I don’t think it will be bootable. I…

Joost is Live and Free for all
Joost is no longer by invite only guys, so I won’t be sending out those invites anymore. If you’re still having the old version, you will have to uninstall and redownload the new Joost Beta 1.0 which is available for both Windows and Mac. Joost seems to be promising some better shows with this launch, including MTV’s The Hills, CSI on CBS, CNN etc, but I don’t know, I can’t even access Explore to look at the channels when I was trying it out just now.

Anyways, I love the minimalistic Ipod Nano packaging. It’s amazing how they…

Quest for the Ipod Nano
I recently got really possessed by the quest to own the new Ipod, any model was fine. After days and hours of looking at reviews online, my appetite grew for more. Especially with the recent demise of my old U2, the JBL dock speaker sitting alone, empty and unused in the house, the quest had to be on with the recent new range of Ipods. I even tried getting my friend in US to courier over the Ipod Touch, but the thought of the customs here imposing huge fees turned me off the idea. Basically, I was undecided at first which one to go for. Save money get a small…
