		<description><![CDATA[Horribly overpriced. Let me preface this piece by saying that I own the previous generation MacMini with the Core2Duo CPU. It does service as a movie file server and has attached to it, using USB, 10 tB of HDDs containing movies. It&#8217;s small, quiet and fits in easily with the other electronics required for decent &#8230; <a href="http://pindelski.org/Photography/2011/09/14/macmini-just-say-no/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good times. The competence and performance of the desktop Mac &#8211; or Hackintosh in my case &#8211; has never been better. The price, it seems to me, cannot go much lower, with even Macs being more than price competitive with comparably equipped PCs.

The latest changes to my Hackintosh, which now see it once more delivering performance comparable to the best top-of-the-line Macs at no additional cost, raise the question of what the future holds. The original design brief for the Hackintosh, which FU Steve built for me, was reliability, with a &#8230; <a href="http://pindelski.org/Photography/2011/08/02/the-future-of-speed/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

As one originally trained in the discipline of mechanical engineering you would expect me to display many of the characteristics of that genre and you might well be right.

Now yet another reason has surfaced to avoid these machines. You cannot change or add internal hard disk drives yourself!

		<description><![CDATA[I take a leaf from the gamers&#8217; book. My initial enthusiasm for the Apple Magic Mouse has cooled. There are three reasons. The first is that it frustratingly loses the Bluetooth connection now and then which simply drives me up the wall. It does this both with my HackPro and, far more often, with the &#8230; <a href="http://pindelski.org/Photography/2011/05/18/the-razer-death-adder-3500dpi-mouse/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Looks like an easy ugrade. When I first reviewed the new 11&#8243; MacBook Air (MBA) I mentioned that a larger 256gB Solid State Drive (SSD) was coming to the aftermarket as a replacement for the small 64gB or 128gB versions Apple ships.
