Hee.

The MacBook’s user manual recommends to use two identical RAM sticks if you upgrade memory; how important is the difference in performance? I’d very much like to buy a single 1GB now and another later, rather than having to choose from the start between pairs of 521MB or 1GB.

The Macalope:

The Vista upgrade forces a purchasing decision for many Windows users. Most will simply suck it up and buy a new PC with Vista already installed because they either fear change, don’t know any better or just really prefer Windows.

But if you know any wavering Windows users, now would be a good time to try to talk them down off the ledge.

10.4.8 optimizes Rosetta performance in Photoshop CS2. I can’t very much test this on my 512MB of RAM — oh, wait, I BTOed 1GB on my Mac mini, but there wouldn’t be much point in installing Photoshop on it.

Lifehacker reviews Enso (which I mentioned recently):

Enso takes over your Caps Lock key, meaning that not only does Caps Lock no longer work (which isn’t terrible), but you actually have to hold down Caps Lock while you type commands. Suddenly you’re a nine-fingered typist (apparently a, z, and q aren’t that important?). Since Enso has absolutely no settings configurations, you can’t do anything about it.

I did have the impression from the video that you’d have to hold Caps Lock to type your command, but assumed I was mistaken. Because, you know, it makes no sense to design a productivity enhancement tool like this and make you keep your finger on a modifier key all the while you’re typing your commands.

Well, they’ll most certainly fix it, sooner or later.

Problem 2: It’s expensive. The Enso Launcher and Enso Spellcheck and Dictionary apps are two different programs, requiring two different licenses. Launcher costs $25, Words costs $40.

Kottke:

Another RSS stats tidbit: I’ve served up 58 gigabytes of RSS so far this month.

Geez.

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
