New White RAM

Since I had to RMA one of my Corsair sticks that was running at its XMP setting for a few months, I decided to look into something higher end.  I had almost surely settled for the sleek looking Corsair Dominator Platinums that everybody wants.  Then I stumbled across this by accident.  The design looks kinda shit fron the side, but from the top I'm sure it'd be sleek frosty white.  Not only that, these run as high as 2800MHz at C11.  Though 2400MHz at C9 is much more tempting.  Only problem is that they're limited edition in white and I'm about to go on a trip through Asia.  Here's hoping they stick around for me!

Why I still choose Firefox

Colour Managed Browsing

Having worked and studied digital media, the importance of colour accuracy has been hammered into me.  Firefox allows proper colour managed output so that you see every image as intended.  A simple switch by typing about:config into your browser address bar, searching for gfx.color_management.mode and changing the value from 2 to 1.

I like my addons and so I keep using Firefox.  Until HTML 5 rolls around as a prominent standard on the web I see no reason to switch to Chrome.  In the event that it does, Safari offers all the advantages in HTML 5 that Chrome has, as well as being colour managed.

Hackintosh Mountain Lion

So I've just successfully finished installing my OS X 10.8 onto my old PC for a dual booting solution in hopes that it will sell faster.  Surprisingly painless.  Of course there was a lot of getting used to and a fair bit of reading before everything finally fell into place.  But to be honest, if you knew what you were doing from start to finish, it would take half the time to get it up and running perfectly.  It took me about as long as it took to get my Windows 7 install up to my picky standards and that's inclusive of all the researching and trial and error.  Just goes to show why the herds flock to macs.  It's just that much simpler.
