Tekzilla shows how to legally and easily build a Hackintosh.

// July 22nd, 2009 // 1 Comment » // osx, technology

Have you ever wanted to build your own OSX powered PC. Tekzilla shows you how to do this legally and without hacking drivers and dealing with one of the many other wrapped up disks and bootloaders.
They are using a USB pluggable Boot Processing Unit (BPU) called EFI-X. A little expensive but still way cheaper than the Mac hardware and so far the only really straight-forward way I’ve seen.

Obama kills fly “Got the sucka” – Remix

// July 11th, 2009 // No Comments » // fun stuff

You might have seen the original footage of president Obama getting rid of a very nasty fly, that bothered him in an interview and his famous words :

“That was pretty impressive, wasn’t it? I got the sucker.”

The original footage can be seen at BBC. Here is a great remix of this video.

Navigon beats TomTom in the race for an iPhone navigation system

// July 4th, 2009 // No Comments » // technology

Although TomTom’s navigation software for the iPhone seems to be most public and they already announced long ago that they have a iPhone version of their software ready, their current tomtom iphone product page still only shows a presentation video and some basic information.

Seems Navigon, one of their competitors spent a little less time on marketing and more time on development and is already able to deliver their Mobile Navigator for iPhone via the app Store.

Their Europe version sells for 99.99 Euro and comes with maps for 40 European countries.

Let’s see what TomTom will have to offer and when.

Tim Ferris about Blogging without killing yourself

// July 3rd, 2009 // No Comments » // fun stuff

After listening to Tim Ferris among other things I should also try this Yerba Mate Tea.

This seems to be a good replacement for the Guarana tea I am currently consuming.

Maté contains xanthines, which are alkaloids in the same family as caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine, well-known stimulants also found in coffee and chocolate. Maté also contains elements such as potassium, magnesium and manganese. Caffeine content varies between 0.3% and 1.7% of dry weight (compare this to 2.5–4.5% for tea leaves, and 1.5% for ground coffee).
