What's Google playing at?
Until last night, Google worked perfectly well on all my browsers, this morning I find I have to turn off Javascript in iCab 3.0.5 to get it to work, although it will still work with Javascript switched on in iCab 2.9.9 and Mozilla 1.3. What have they changed? -- ~ Adrian Tuddenham ~ (Remove the ".invalid"s... 22 Mar 2010 04:59

Ok, that was scary. (whoami - 501)
Just had a rather weird thing happen. I was testing out the 'Ignore ownership on this volume' option since I sometimes like to VNC in to my machine over my lunch break and do a spot of Cocoa coding. For this I've created a second user account that has a blank desktop and a lower screen res, just to keep the bandwid... 15 Mar 2010 01:22

Safari 4.0.5 out
Not all plain sailing for me - the update hung on shutdown. Power cycling after an update is not my favourite activity, but there you go. Nothing seems untoward. Cheers, Ian ... 12 Mar 2010 05:03

Running UK English Snow Leopard on spanish-bought MacBook Pro?
Folks, A friend living in Spain is looking to buy a Macbook Pro. For a variety of reasons, he expects to buy it locally. I'm assuming he'll only be able to get it with a spanish keyboard and that Snow Leopard's language will be in Spanish. I can answer most of his questions, but there are two where I'd only b... 12 Mar 2010 18:27

Second menu bar on second monitor
Just saw this on one of the tech blogs: <http://blog.boastr.net/?page_id=79> I've always found it a bit of a pain when an app on one monitor has its menu bar on the other. This is in early development I think, and didn't work on my Leopard (and other comments suggest it's Snow Leopard only). Good idea thoug... 11 Mar 2010 13:27

G4 MacMini DVI problem
I inherited a G4 MacMini from my mom after I gave her an Intel MacMini. I've installed Leopard on it, and it works very well. I was initially going to use it as a webserver, but have found it perfect for a second computer at work. However, I am having issues with getting it to drive a monitor properly. I have ... 10 Mar 2010 18:42
