Nove anni fa, e nove mesi prima della nascita di mio figlio comperai un MacBook Pro mid-2009, da 2.53Ghz con Intel Core 2 Duo (“Penryn” da 2.53 GHz codice P8700)
Oltre a funzionare ancora adesso, ha subito un upgrade con disco SSD Smasung 840 PRO, con un kit molto ben fatto che rimpiazzava il masterizzartore DVD con un bay per hard disk SATA.
Risulta quindi una macchina abbastanza performante, ma per evitare di perdere la funzionalità TRIM dell’SSD ho dovuto soprassedere al suo aggiornamento e quindi monta un vetusto Mac OS X 10.8.5: il driver che abilita il TRIM non è “crypto-signed” e questo mi porterebbe a doverne forzare l’uso in modo sempre più difficile sulle versione recenti di MacOS, ed inoltre la macchina non potrebbe reggere facilmente sistemi operativi più pesanti.

Archimedes (287 BC) said “give me a place to stand and I will move the earth”.
Apple, after decades of lack of decent garbage collection to Objective-C, seems to say “I will give an ARC to exit to the dark hand-made memory allocation”.
Let’see how.

Da Acquadro.it, leggiamo questo suggerimento su come trasferire le email da Outlook al vostro Mac:
Nel mio recente passaggio a MacOsX, uno dei problemi che ho dovuto risolvere è stato il trasferimento delle email dal vecchio PC ( Outlook Express su WinXp) a Mail di Apple. Ho installato un mail server sul PC (hMailServer),creato un account e trasferito dal O.E le email via IMAP in windows. Sul Mac ho aggiunto un nuovo account che puntasse al server mail installato e copiato in locale tutti i messaggi.

Gli iMac intel vecchio modello (bordo bianco e plastica trasparente) e i MacBook Pro, dispongono di una modalità di “sospensione” simile a quella di WindowsXP. Sospettiamo che tale feature sia disponibile per tutti i mac intel venduti dal 2007.
La modalità di sospensione consente di salvare il contenuto della Ram su disco, e di spegnere completamente il computer.

I have found a beautiful trick to hibernate my brand new mac book pro:
I don’t like to waste battery life, especially when traveling. I love the Hibernate feature in Windows, and have all of my laptops set to hibernate when the lid is closed. The few extra seconds it takes to wake up is worth the saved battery life in my eyes. For those that don’t know here are the different states of the Macbook Pro....

Hold down the Command, Shift, and 4 keys, then press the Spacebar. Instead of a cross-hair cursor, a small camera icon appears. When you move this camera icon over the element you’d like to capture, that element is highlighted. Click your mouse or trackpad, and you’ve captured a screenshot of just that element — no further cleanup required.

iPhone is the brand-new Apple product which has changed the way Apple thinks. Because of iPhone, Apple strip the word "Computers" from its brand name. And because of iPods and iPhone products, Lepoard developmenet slip a bit, blurring the focus on pure technology.
To be true, I do not beat on the iPhone success, but the product success is at least bright this year. And the iPod touch has also added value to the iPods product catalog. But I am an IT-man, damn you boy! So I want to buy it to play with it, to program with it!

In the last year, "Apple Computer" has changed a bit its focus.

We read in wikipedia:
"Mac OS X is the successor to the original Mac OS, which had been Apple's primary operating system since 1984 [...] The first version released was Mac OS X Server 1.0 in 1999, and a desktop-oriented version, Mac OS X v10.0 followed in March 2001"
The funny thing about MacOSX launch was the huge hype on the retail box: it was named "The world's most advanced operating system" and really it was very huge leap ahead.
