Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6)\’s system requirements are:
So do not consider running Snow Leopard on any PPC machines… It simply will not work…
But PowerPC (PPC) applications will work with the Rosetta translation layer, as they have been in Mac OS X 10.5… ![\"7693CAF6-91CA-40CD-972F-F95BA638857E.jpg\"](\"http://www.schollnick.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/7693CAF6-91CA-40CD-972F-F95BA638857E.jpg\")
Folks,

Engadget has mentioned that it appears that Snow Leopard\’s version of iSync is missing the profiles for several older Palm PDA\’s… While that maybe annoying, I would point out that iSync has been slowly losing ground over the last couple of years…. As single device PDA\’s have been replaced with SmartPhones…
It\’s not really that surprising that Apple is eliminating some old legacy support for devices… But it\’s quite annoying to those that might still be using them…
A rumor is spreading quite rapidly that Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6, will have a built-in level of antivirus protection…. As shown here:

But will it? I think at this point, I can safely say that I have not yet seen any sign of this protection in the Beta\’s that I have used…. But would this be a feature that Apple might restrict to just internal testing? Quite Possibly…

I have had a few pieces on Bomb shelters, but here\’s some good pictures of the interiors…

Good Magazine, has a photo gallery of the interior of a few bomb shelters running right now… And it\’s quite interesting… Take a gander…
Picture Show: Waiting for the End of the World | GOOD
Self-preservation is something that most humans take quite seriously, and that a few take to extremes. Faced with the real or imagined threat of attacks levied by nuclear, biological, and chemical weaponry, some people opt to head 25 feet underground, surrounded by concrete and complex air-filtration systems, surviving off rations and waiting, so to speak, for the end of the world.
Destructoid has posted an article where they mention that
Electronic Arts files two Dungeon Keeper trademarks.
God, I would hope that EA would bring back Dungeon Keeper… While I do have a copy of the first one, it would be nice to see the software updated for a Windows (or Mac!) environment, instead of the DOS application that they are….
I loved playing that game way back when originally published…

A almost superdeformed Cyberman cake…. Heropress blogged about Darius Whiteplume of Adventures in Nerdliness \’tweeted\’ about the selection of Doctor Who cakes over at Cake Wrecks, and Clare – who knows my sweet tooth – sent me the link as well.
As she said: \’Imagine a cake that\’s bigger on the inside than on the outside… yum!\’

For years, Roxio\’s Toast CD/DVD disk burning software has been (in my opinion) coasting on it\’s good name. It\’s a good package, but it\’s overly expensive, and Roxio doesn\’t support it well….
You run into situations where the software is 95% bug free, and Roxio seems to not care about fixing all the bugs, instead your asked to purchase the next major release to get an almost fully functional product.
Why? Simply because they can\’t get the previous version fully functional for over 18 months, before Apple releases a new version of the OS… And then of course, the previous version isn\’t supported on the new OS… Or at least, that\’s what it seems like…
Oh, and did I mention that their upgrade offers aren\’t that good? You virtually pay full price for an upgrade…. And their usually isn\’t enough new features to justify paying full price…
Here\’s a good example of Roxio\’s confusion, and inability to support their flagship product…..
Toast 10 Titanium Pro: Purchase at your own risk
A few weeks ago, I got a promotional e-mail from Roxio inviting me to purchase the latest version of its flagship CD/DVD recording software for Mac OS X, Toast 10 Titanium Pro, for a special price of $100. (It’s normally listed for $150. The special price meant that it was the same price as Toast 10 without the ‘Pro’ part, i.e. without the extra software.)
