Comment on What Ever Happened To RealPlayer? by Doug P

Doug P — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 13:48:00 +0000

I had a good collection of tracks that cost me 99 cents per track. One day real player told me to update. After I did it wouldn’t play the tracks i had purchased through their system for real player. I emailed, phoned, wrote letters, and never did get my music back, I wish i could remember what they were calling themselves :real networks ” or some such drivel. The chance of me buying anything from real networks is about the same as me trying to stick butter up a wildcats ass with a hot poker. Fool me once shame on you. Aint fooling me twice ,

adios

Comment on Updating your Hackintosh/Hackbook to Snow Leopard 10.6.7 + 10.6.7 SleepEnabler.kext by Thomas

It seems you’re doing everything right and thus you’d expect sleep to work. Boot with -f and see if that helps. If not, try installing SleepEnabler.kext with Kext Helper and adding the pmVersion=21 flag to your com.apple.Boot.plist in both locations on all OS X partitions (assuming you have more than one). Finally, reboot with -f again and try sleep when running on battery power.

First of all, excellent tutorial, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 working perfectly on my Inspiron 1525. I have been working tirelessly to try and get the sleep function to work. I have followed your instructions and have placed the non-version specific Sleep Enabler kext in my /Extra/Extensions folder. I have also added the pmVersion=21 in BOTH com.apple.Boot.plist files, one in /Extra and one in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration. When I boot into OS X, I do NOT receive a KP or anything and it boots up just fine. However, when I try to put the system to sleep, the screen goes blank, but it does not appear to put the hard drive to sleep or anything else. The blue power light remains solid and does not flash like it does when sleeping in Windows and I can still hear the drive spinning and the fan remains on as well. I close the lid, nothing happens. Nothing brings it back “awake” either. Pressing buttons, moving the mouse, or typing any keys, nothing happens. The blue light stays solid and the screen remains blank. I would appreciate any suggestions to get this working. (I have tried this both with the power cord plugged in and running on battery power and get the same results). Thanks in advance for your help!

Comment on Why The Windows 7 Taskbar Sucks by webmaster Grumpy

You are right on the money.

Yes its more stable but when you are working with at least 6 programs at the same time, this new taskbasr sucks. It would be a reason for me to switch back to XP.

While I don’t have the laptop, the person who does says it’s still running strong with Windows 7 and Windows 8 (Dev Preview) dual boot. Battery is still holding a good 2+ hour charge after all these years!

I had a Dell 1525 HackBook, but upgraded to a Mac mini. I think most people upgrade to the real thing.

Great tip… my 1525 is well over 3 years old (started with 10.5.4) and still holding a strong charge while chugging along with 10.6.8.

Any recommendations for the next hackintosh? I think I’ll need to start thinking about a replacement in the near future and I was reading a lot about the HP Probook 4530s or do most people just break down and spend the cash for a macbook???

Comment on Paul Thurrott’s Spotty WWDC Coverage by Alexander Brown

I hate Thurrott too. His bias against Apple is evident in EVERY SINGLE POST. At least the Mac sites don’t show as much bias as clearly.

Comment on Booting Ubuntu Linux with the Chameleon bootloader by Thomas

You’re using an LVM so things are a little different for you. In Terminal, type pvdisplay and note the entry listed for PV Name:. You can then use this entry for step 5.
