Ever since I updated to 10.5.2, booting my MBP with the external screen attached meant that the external screen wasn’t detected properly, and ran at the same resolution as the MBP screen. Initially, I read something on TUAW which suggested booting with the external screen not attached, and then attaching the screen once Leopard had [...]

My replacement MBP came with iLife08 - brilliant. Time to give this new movie editing program a bit of a workout, and see if those people who think it’s a massive step backwards are right - or if its ease of use outweighs any missing features..

I was down in Southampton today, so I thought I’d go along to the new Apple store (in West Quay), to see if I could pick up one of the new keyboards, as released last Tuesday (along with the new iMac, MiniMac speed bump and a bunch of other stuff). Reason being that I used [...]

Just installed it - updated..
Ok - I installed it for a day or so, and then I had to remove it again. Why? - because it’s got a couple of showstoppers for me. Most of the work I do is with PHP, so the potential for comparing previous revisions in the application itself looked [...]
