Stupid Mac Tricks

Today’s silly-ass trick? This page, that shows you what my laptop sees each time it wakes from sleep.

ZFS in OSX

According to World of Apple, the next release of OSX (Leopard) contains Sun’s ZFS. If you haven’t heard of ZFS, you should really check it out. Sun is calling it “The last word in file systems”, and they may be right. Maximum filesystem sizes in the zettabyte range, maximum file sizes in [...]

Mac+VMware update
