OS X (10.6.4) memory
Hmm, I've also noticed markedly increased slowness and swapping since either Safari 5 or OSX 10.6.4 were installed. Not entirely sure which is to blame as I installed both around the same time. Having a low Free Memory figure isn't a problem in itself, it just means that the OS has it all under control. When i... 30 Jul 2010 05:21

Magic Trackpad questions
I think it will look great with my 27" iMac, but do I really need it. Will it replace the Magic Mouse, or work with it. What will the be the benefits of having the Trackpad or Trackpad/Mouse. I expect I will order one, no matter what, and I suspect I will order the Battery Charger as well. I can't resist it. I... 29 Jul 2010 06:25

It's now legal to jailbreak your phone...
in the US. http://news.cnet.com/8301-31021_3-20011702-260.html?tag=nl.e703 They ammended the DMCA law so that it is legal, but it is still against the EULA from Apple.
