more dorky tech: OS X on ThinkPad T60
So, for s’s and g’s I installed OSX on the T60.
I used some easy to find information to get video, sound, and power management working. I used a dedicated drive installed in the HD bay to install, then moved it to the ultrabay drive. I’m using BIOS for a boot loader. I’m running it right now.
It’s been really really easy to get working and It’s really nice. I enjoy the trackpoint navigation so much more than a trackpad. That’s always been a bummer about PowerBooks and even the MacBook. The easier right-click makes things so much better.
I think that OSX works better on the ThinkPad than XP works on the MacBook. Probably not a huge surprise, but perhaps a wake-up call for Apple. Now that this stuff will run on intel, how do they keep their advantage?

drm sucks
apple, you prick bastards.
Many tracks that I have paid for (yes, I sometimes get drunkenough and buy stuff from iTMS) are unavailable.
Why? This laptop is not authorized to play them. And I can’t authorize it because I have already authorized 5 machines. Apple lets you deauth all once a year, but it seems Nov 18th, 2005 was the last time I did that. So I’m close, but damn.
give me back my music.
best one hit wonder cover songs
okay hit me up with suggestions.
i’m inspired to start the list with Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm.
edit: clarifying one-hit-wonder. If it wasn’t their only hit, it has to be their biggest hit.
