“Upgrade Your Playstation 3 Hard Drive.” (via 20th Century Games)

Shows you step by step what you need to do to accomplish this goal. Has some nice pictures as well. I don’t think the model is the slim or newest one.

It doesn't matter if you have the 20GB, 60GB, or even the new 80GB PlayStation 3–you can always use more storage space.

This updates the kext file (located in the /System/Library/Extensions folder) to a version that is compatible with Snow Leopard.

The kext file itself is required if you want to use CD Spin Doctor’s “Audio Music Capture” option. This allows you to “instantly” start recording whatever audio is currently playing on your Mac.”

So if anyone else gets stuck try reinstalling Bonjour.”

MBP vs. PowerMac G5 Which is faster?

So a gentleman is going to consolidate. Just wanted to see what peoples experiences with this was.  It is wonderful how mobile computing has become.  I have enjoyed my laptop immensely since it was given to me last year.  The bottom line seems to go to the MBP due to the faster memory/cpu and possibly disk drive.

Charles Moore Finally Installs Snow Leopard

He installs it on a 2 year old Unibody Macbook.  It takes a little longer but works great.  It is fun when someone who doesn’t do bleeding edge upgrades.  He said it was a mixed bag for him.

Is your sync with MobileMe screwed after 10.6.3 update?

You could try reapplying the combo update first.  This will probably fix the issue for the majority of people.  If that doesn’t work, then follow Carlos work. “Ended up having to reset sync data within the MobileMe preference pane to have my iCal calendars replaced by MobileMe data. Will have to remember this for future OS updates. Thanks! ”  If that doesn’t work you can read more here.
