Internet Driver’s License
“Craig Mundie, Microsoft’s Chief Research and Strategy Officer, recently called for the creation of an ‘Internet Driver’s License’ at the World Economic Forum in Davos, saying, ‘If you want to drive a car you have to have a license to say that you are capable of driving a car, the car has to pass a test to say it is fit to drive and you have to have insurance.’ Really? It’s been a while since I’ve seen something so:
- Brilliant: As it will serve to start some VERY heated discussion
- Dumb: Do you need a license to use your phone, access a public space, enter a public library
- Sycophantic: such obvious fawning obsequiousness towards special interests shows real colour.
- what you were reading at the library
- who you were calling from your phone/a pay phone (do they still even exist?)
- what you were looking for at the visitor center
- etc.
Installing OS X Snow Leopard From a USB Drive
Just like with most other versions of OS X, 10.6 Snow Leopard can be installed from a USB drive which is especially beneficial if you’re a Macbook Air user…
Before you start make sure that you have enough space , Leopard is just a shy over 6.2Gigs, and that your USB drive is bootable.
- Using DiskUtility select the USB drive
- Format it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Give it a sensible name in case you need it later
- Still in Disk Utility, use the restore option with source = DVD and destination = USB drive
- Start the restore and wait. Should be less than 15 minutes
- Connect the USB drive to the MAC and reboot / boot it holding the option/alt key down until you see a list of available volumes.
- Select the USB volume and install.
