<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I downloaded the screenwriting software Final Draft 8 on to my Lenovo S10 netbook, and it runs fine. The netbook has the Intel Atom processor, and I wasn&#8217;t sure that this software would run well (or at all) on it.  The software requires an Intel Pentium III or later. (Does  &#8220;later&#8221; mean more advanced, or does it mean later as in produced later?) The netbook has enough RAM and space.</p>
<p>I downloaded the demo, and it downloaded fast and installed fast.  The download comes with a 6.05 MB PDF user guide (372 pages) that discusses all the features and the interface as usual. I used Final Draft 5 so I am familiar with many of the features. Version 8 feels very similar and it is easy to start using.</p>
<p>After trying the demo, I bought the upgrade. I chose the download method instead of buying a CD because the netbook does not have a CD-ROM drive.</p>
<p>While using the software, I do not run any other programs. I&#8217;m not sure if the netbook will run well with more than one application open.  It does not have a powerful processor, so I do not want to overtax it. Besides, when I&#8217;m working on a script, I do not need to be checking my email or otherwise distracting myself. I can do that just fine the rest of the time.</p>
<p>I wrote this post because I had a hard time finding anything online about the performance of a netbook with Final Draft. If you&#8217;re considering the software on a netbook, it will probably run fine, if you don&#8217;t have a bunch of other applications runing at the same time.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Hace un tiempo supimos que la versión 10.6.2 de Mac OS X <strong>anulaba por completo la compatibilidad de Snow Leopard con los procesadores Intel Atom</strong>, ya que Apple no contaba con equipos que usarán esta tecnología dentro de sus filas, por ende la compatibilidad del sistema con dicho <a href="http://chilenomac.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/intel_atom_cpu-300x225.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2266" title="intel_atom_cpu-300x225" src="http://chilenomac.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/intel_atom_cpu-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>hardware solo se prestaba para el <strong>H</strong><strong>ackintosh</strong>. Incluso aquella noticia fue comentada en ChilenoMac, lo que pueden vereficar en la <a href="http://chilenomac.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/hackintosh-apple-eliminaria-el-soporte-para-intel-atom-en-snow-leopard-10-6-2/">siguiente entrada</a>. Pero me he enterado de que el &#8216;<em>efecto Hackintosh</em>&#8216; es más fuerte de lo que Apple pensaba y la actualización de su último sistema operativo no pudo destruirlo por completo, o al menos así parece; y es que un talentoso hacker ruso ha podido modificar el <strong>kernel </strong><strong>de Mac OS X 10.6.2</strong>: es decir, el corazón del sistema operativo fue modificado <strong>por otro &#8216;truculento&#8217; archivo </strong> para poder restablecer la compatibilidad del sistema con los pequeños procesadores Intel Atom. Maniobra que, por lo bajo, podemos calificar de compleja, ya que para hacerla funcionar se necesita <strong>un conocimiento acabado de la t</strong><strong>erminal</strong> del sistema.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Desconcemos por completo <strong>las medidas que tomará Apple</strong> en la próxima actualización de Snow Leopard, y ni siquiera sabemos si Apple se pronunciará sobre este hecho, pero de lo que sí tenemos total certeza es que, cuando creíamos <strong>que la vida del Hackintosh se apagaba</strong>, se nos demostró que no será tan fácil derrotarlos como parece, y que los usuarios de netboooks aún tienen mucho que decir sobre el tema. La guerra contra el Hackintosh ha sido larga y, a mi parecer, lo seguirá siendo por muchísimo tiempo más.</p>
<p><!--moreinstala Mac OS X 10.6.2 en tu Hackintosh con las siguientes instrucciones--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">¿Cómo hacerlo? Bueno, <strong>descarguen el kernel modificado</strong> <a href="http://redirectingat.com/?id=292X457&#38;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mediafire.com%2F%3Fo2w0yunezzy">desde acá</a> y guárdenlo en el escritorio, y abran la terminal para ejecutar el siguiente código (rogando que el Hackintosh no salga volando):</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">1. sudo -s (acá ponen su nombre de usuario sin paréntesis)<br />
2. cd /<br />
3. mv mach_kernel mach_kernel_1062<br />
4. cp ~/Desktop/mach_kernel /<br />
5. chown 0:0 mach_kernel</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Luego <strong>reinician el sistema</strong>, y esperan&#8230; para ver si les funcionó. Espero que les sirva, y que puedan estar a la última con sus Hackintosh; como decía más arriba, la guerra ha sido larga, pero creo que el &#8216;e<em>fecto Hackintosh</em>&#8216;<strong> le da más salud a Apple</strong> aunque a ellos no les haga mucha gracia.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Saludos a todos y que disfruten sus Mac <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  </strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>A member from InsanelyMac forums has apparently created a workaround allowing Intel Atom-based netbooks to upgrade to OS X 10.6.2. The 10.6.2 update had specifically disabled native compatibility with those processors.</p>
<p>Apple&#8217;s reason for disabling Atom compatibility in 10.6.2 remains unknown, but this workaround should fix the problem.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Earlier this week, we released the TechStuff podcast Jonathan and I recorded about the hackintosh. As you already know, Apple&#8217;s Macintosh is a closed system &#8212; they produce the hardware and the software both. It makes for an elegant solution, because in general the machines and operating system are tailored to each other and work well together.</p>
<p>One downside of this is that Apple charges a premium for its computers. So if you like OS X and want to run it on your desktop, you have to buy a Macintosh computer. If you don&#8217;t mind, it works out; Apple hasn&#8217;t released a lot of underpowered machines lately. But if you&#8217;re on a budget, you just might be buying a PC. Also, if you prefer <a href="http://computer.howstuffworks.com/notebook-vs-netbook-vs-ultra-mobile-pc.htm">netbooks</a>, you&#8217;re out of luck, since Apple&#8217;s stance on the issue is that the company can&#8217;t make a netbook of the quality that Apple can get behind. So if you want to run a netbook with OS X, what do you do then?</p>
<p>Some people on a budget, or who want to use a netbook, like <a href="http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/how-to-tech/build-a-computer.htm">building their own computers</a> or like to <a href="http://computer.howstuffworks.com/hacker.htm">hack</a> the operating system create hackintoshes. They find ways to run the Macintosh operating system on non-Apple hardware. There are several solutions, some more elegant than others, and in general they seem to work OK, based on what I&#8217;ve read. But if you&#8217;re using a hackintosh netbook with an Intel Atom processor and you have Apple&#8217;s OS 10.6 OS, aka Snow Leopard, read this:</p>
<p>Upgrading to 10.6.2 will break your hackintosh.</p>
<p>I read this today(after I updated my iMac at home) on ZDNet, where <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=5207&#38;tag=content;col1" target="_blank">Jason O&#8217;Grady wrote about it</a>. He&#8217;s an avowed hackintosh fan. Apple&#8217;s none too thrilled with the hackintosh crowd, and the latest operating system update ends support for the Atom processor. If you try it, your computer will hang during the bootup process.</p>
<p>It looks like this:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/yx8tZF302Wc&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/yx8tZF302Wc&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>So that&#8217;s it for now. Until someone finds a way around the problem, of course. I think something this deeply embedded may prove to be a stumper for most casual hackintosh owners, though. Funny that this happened the week that podcast was released, too. Ah, technology, will you never stop moving?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>O Intel Reader para deficientes visuais não é apenas um conceito; ele chega às lojas hoje nos Estados Unidos.</p>
<p>Equipado com um processador Intel Atom, câmera de 5 megapixels e sistema operacional Moblin, ele transforma páginas de livros em textos digitais e arquivos de áudio MP3 para depois lê-los em voz alta.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-190" src="http://chairim.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/intel-reader.jpg" alt="" width="390" height="260" /></p>
<p> O aparelho pode ter a velocidade de leitura ajustada e seus 2 GB de capacidade podem armazenar até 500 mil páginas de texto digital (aproximadamente 600 páginas escaneadas). Disponível por US$ 1.500 (pouco mais de R$ 2.570), ele não é barato. Mas comparado com leitores Braille bem mais caros, o aparelho da Intel é uma boa alternativa.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Generasi terbaru dari Intel Atom, yang disebut &#8216;Pine Trail&#8217;, ternyata datang lebih cepat]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.detikinet.com/images/content/2009/11/11/317/intel-pineview.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Generasi terbaru dari Intel Atom, yang disebut &#8216;Pine Trail&#8217;, ternyata datang lebih cepat dari dugaan. Intel mengatakan platform bagi netbook dan nettop tersebut mulai diperkenalkan pada publik pada 21 Desember 2009.</p>
<p>Di pusat platform Pine Trail, Intel menghadirkan prosesor dengan nama kode &#8216;Pineview&#8217;. Tak seperti produk terdahulunya, Pineview akan mengintegrasikan DDR2 memory controller, prosesor grafis, serta video decoding processor oleh Broadcom ke dalam satu paket.</p>
<p><!--moreWah keren kang...--></p>
<p>Yang menarik, prosesor baru tersebut bakal mendukung sistem X86 dan X64. Alhasil netbook atau nettop berbasis platform ini bakal bisa ditanamkan RAM lebih dari 4GB. Ini menjadi peningkatan cukup signifikan dibanding generasi netbook saat ini yang seakan-akan mentok di 2GB.</p>
<p>Seperti dikutip detikINET dari techpowerup, Rabu (11/11/2009) berikut ini adalah jajaran prosesor terbaru tersebut:</p>
<p>Intel Atom N450: single-core dengan Hyper-Threading, 1.66GHz, 512KB cache, x86-64, BGA437 package, dengan harga US $63.</p>
<p>Intel Atom D510: dual-core dengan Hyper-Threading, 1.66GHz, 1MB cache, x86-64, BGA437 package, dengan harga US $63.</p>
<p>Intel Atom D410: single-core dengan Hyper-Threading, 1.66GHz, 512KB cache, x86-64, BGA437 package, dengan harga US $43.</p>
<p>Lebih lanjut lagi dijelaskan bahwa Atom N450 mulai menyambangi pasar pada tanggal 4 Januari 2010, bersamaan dengan Consumer Electronic Show (CES) 2010.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The latest developer build of Mac OS X 10.6.2 fixes support for the Intel Atom chip which was <a href="http://sbraidley.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/apple-killing-off-intel-atom-support/" target="_blank">previously disbaled</a> as an<a href="http://sbraidley.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/intel_atom.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-784" title="Intel Atom" src="http://sbraidley.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/intel_atom.jpg?w=120" alt="Intel Atom" width="120" height="150" /></a> attempt to stop people loading their operating system onto hardware which it wasn&#8217;t intended for.</p>
<p>The update reportedly contains fixes for AirPort performance issues on newly released iMacs and &#8220;resolves a problem with plugging and unplugging to an Apple TV,&#8221; whatever that might mean. There&#8217;s fixes for VMWare, USB, Apple Filing Protocol, and tweaks to nearly 150 OS X components, including AppleBacklight, Battery Menu, Dictionary, Expose, FileSync, Family Controls, Fonts, Front Row, HFS, Inkwell, iPhoto, MobileMe, OpenCL, Parental Controls, QuickTime, Screen Sharing, Spell Checker, Spotlight, and Time Machine.</p>
<p>The final release is expected to be rolled out sometime in November.</p>
<p>Hopefully this will mean that Apple have changed their mind and will be allowing Intel Atom support again or that someone will manage to work out how to apply this to the final release if need be, so that the hackintosh community can continue.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Por lo visto en Cupertino <strong>comenzaron a enojarse </strong>con el mal disimulado y siempre creciente fenómeno Hackintosh. Según un rumor que da vueltas por internet (más específicamente en <a href="http://osxdaily.com/">OS X daily</a>), Apple habría decidido <strong>quitar el soporte para la línea de procesadores Intel Atom</strong> en la próxima actualización de Mac OS X Snow Leopard, que correspondería a la 10.6.2 y debiera de ser <img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2046" title="intel-atom" src="http://chilenomac.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/intel-atom.jpg?w=300" alt="intel-atom" width="300" height="199" />lanzada durante este mes. Intel presentó Atom en marzo de 2008, con el objetivo de usarlo en equipos de baja necesidad de proceso, tamaño pequeño y requerimientos energéticos bajos; o sea, smartphones y netbooks.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La mayor parte de los Hackintosh que existen se basan en netbooks con Intel Atom, y los usuarios cuentan (incluso acá en ChilenoMac) que Mac OS X <strong>anda bastante bien</strong>, con buen soporte de hardware y duración de la batería que es incluso mejor que con sus sistemas operativos originales. Quizá esta medida de Apple <strong>es para evitar perder mercado entre la gente que quiere Mac OS X en equipos pequeños</strong>, signo de que esperan mostrarnos -<strong>por fin</strong>- el iTablet (o como se llame)&#8230; o simplemente quiere mantener su exclusividad. No sé qué procesador usará, pero claramente no será un Atom. ¿Qué pretende Apple? ¿Con qué procesador armará al iTablet si quiere destacar en autonomía versus rendimiento? Como siempre, preguntas que no podemos responder. <strong>Ya veremos</strong>. Por lo pronto, nuestros amigos de Hackintosh no deben actualizarse a 10.6.2 hasta nuevo aviso.</p>
<p><!--more¡ChilenoMac tiene una sorpresa! Clic acá y entérate--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Aprovechando el espacio, quisiera dar la bienvenida a <strong>@varodonaire</strong>, el nuevo miembro del equipo ChilenoMac. Como se habrán dado cuenta, publicó un artículo el lunes pasado acerca de Automator, una de sus especialidades. @varodonaire <strong>es matemático, y tiene mucha experiencia programando</strong> en Mac OS X, así que todos los lunes serán de Automator con él. El viernes será el otro día de nuestro amigo, y ya verán qué sorpresas les tiene preparadas. Nos alegramos mucho por la llegada de @varodonaire, y esperamos que sea bien recibido por ustedes. ¡<strong>Bienvenido</strong>!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The latest build of Snow Leopard (10.6.2),  no longer supports the Intel Atom chip which is widely used in netbooks.<a href="http://sbraidley.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/intel_atom.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-784" title="Intel Atom" src="http://sbraidley.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/intel_atom.jpg" alt="Intel Atom" width="150" height="186" /></a></p>

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" width="60%">

<tr>
<td>In the current developer build of 10.6.2, Apple appears to have changed around a lot of CPU related information. One of the effects of this is Apple killing off Intel’s Atom chip.<br />
Among other things, Sleepenabler.KEXT is now ineffective and will need a new version. It is now suggested to run CPUPM with a proper DSDT.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>Although Apple has long engadged in a hack-and-mouse game with with users who use Mac OS X onto third-party hardware, some people see it as a shot against low-cost netbooks, maybe meaning a low-cost MacBook soon? Others believes its another sign of the Apple Tablet as it&#8217;s rumoured to have a price point a lot higher than netbooks and so Apple is trying to get rid of the competition.</div>
<p>Stellarola also notes that similar restrictions in Leopard 10.5.9 may disable the Atom, and so advises any pre-Snow Leopard hackintoshed Atom netbooks to stick with 10.5.8.</p>
<p>Who know&#8217;s how this will be implemented or how long it will take them to figure away round it. But hopefully this won&#8217;t end the use of Mac OS X on third-party hardware.</p>
