Preparing for OS X Mountain Lion Installation.

37prime — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 23:22:26 +0000

Apple has just announced the availability of OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview. For those who are eager to download and install this Developer Preview should proceed with caution. Without breaking any NDA’s we can safely assume:

It comes with delicious bugs and incomplete features.
It is not ready as your production machine.
Some of the applications might not work.

If you want to install OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview, you might want to consider the following steps:

Do not upgrade any of your Snow Leopard or Lion systems. Start with fresh install is preferable.
Use a dedicated hard drive for Mountain Lion installation.
Create the OS X Mountain Lion installation media using DVD or USB flash drive from the InstallESD.dmg (Show Package Contents on “Install OS X Mountain Lion Preview 1″ then go to “Contents\Shared Support”).

Don’t forget to report any bugs you find to Apple at http://bugreporter.apple.com/.

Yet another SMS spam. This one reads:

“FELICIDADES” IUSACEL, Te Inf. Gracias a tu Mòvil eres Ganador : US$ 45,000 Y 1 TOYOTA PRADO 2012 ” Gracias ” A : HONDUTEL Mayor info. PBX: 01150242582314.

Google translates it as:

“CONGRATULATIONS” IUSACEL, Information Thank you for your cell phone you are Winner: U.S. $ 45.000 and 1 TOYOTA PRADO 2012 “Thank you” A: HONDUTEL More Info. PBX: 01150242582314.

I’m assuming that it comes from Honduras.

Past Tense: Apple Ethernet Transceiver

very — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 03:26:26 +0000

I was cleaning up the server room last week and found something I haven’t seen in the last 12 years, Apple Ethernet Transceiver.

It also comes with an Apple stencil cutout.

Dr. Zoidberg, two hours later.

very — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:00:03 +0000

I started making the paper Zoidberg by 2200 hour. After slicing, cutting and folding, I finished it right about midnight.

Paper Dr. Zoidberg can be downloaded from Cubecraft.

The scene in the background and bottom artwork is from Futurama Volume 6 DVD or Futurama Volume 6 Blu-ray.

Yeah, that looks legit.

I’d better get right on it.

I wonder why the Internal Revenue Service site is at builtfree.org.

Why not paper Zoidberg?

very — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:10:19 +0000

I love the paper Bender someone left at the office, so why not paper Zoidberg?

That’s Futurama Volume 6 DVD in the picture. I wonder if the Blu-ray version is worth geting.

Bite My Printed Paper Bender!

very — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 06:56:34 +0000

One thing that cheers me up right now is knowing someone took the time making a paper Bender and left it at the office. Working late at the office replacing a broken power supply off a server. In addition to that I just sanitized a site that was compromised.

You can download and make your own paper Bender from Cubecraft. Gold Bender from Universe-1 is also available.

While you’re there, give some love for Dr. Zoidberg and Blue Dr. Zoidberg from Universe-1.

500

Apple (AAPL) shares hit record high today at 496.72 and closed at 493.17; up 16.49 from Wednesday February 8th, 2012. The way it is right now, Apple will soon break 500.

The record breaking quarter for fiscal 2012 first quarter might have something to do with it. Apple is expected to release the third generation of iPad before the first half of 2012, then followed by the sixth generation of iPhone. On the rumor mill, Apple is supposedly working on a television set. Apple will still be busy in 2012.

Apple has one interesting product transition that might see the light of day in 2012. Apple has been quietly working on this product for the last six years since the transition to x86 platform. Just like many, it was a skunkworks project that now seems to make sense. We all have to wait and see.

For disclosure I do not explicitly own AAPL stocks or any stocks.
