apple – Brian Roy

Another day another video blog post. And I’ll say it again… however Vimeo selects the static frame… not working for me… what am I catching flies!!!

UPDATE: Well great, my first complaint with Vimeo – they totally hosed this when they encoded it… video/sound way out of sync. Sorry about that folks – this is a work in progress.

Well, good news. I’ve upgraded to Vimeo plus and I can now set the static frame (so I don’t look like I’m sneezing) and control the video size/framing. Enjoy.

Video: VMware Fusion Developer Tips and Apple after Steve Jobs from Brian Roy on Vimeo.

Fascinating… but not sure I’d be an early adopter on this.

What is really interesting is how many companies are taking a run a Apple’s refusal to let OSX load on non-apple hardware. It appears there are several lawyers that believe there is a valid defense available. We will just have to wait and see.

After a few false starts, the OS X-installing EFi-X dongle is finally shipping to consumers. Currently, two versions are up for grabs: the USB V1 for the average joe / jane and the USB V2 Developers Unit for, well, developers. In short, plugging this gem into your PC will enable select systems to install OS X, but we’d take a hard look at the fine print (and certified systems) before blindly plunking down $155 and hoping for the best.
