  • Beyond the Lion's roar: The best overlooked, underrated features

    Apple billed this summer's release of Mac OS X Lion as having more than 200 new features, but most coverage of Lion in the intervening months has focused on only a handful of them. While iOS-like navigation and app-launching interfaces, autosave/restore capabilities, AirDrop file sharing and an emergency restore partition are by all means important, there are a lot of helpful tweaks and enhancements that can easily be missed.

  • Bugs and fixes: When OS X Lion slows to a crawl

    How I tracked down, identified and ultimately eradicated a mysterious bug for which there seemed no immediately obvious cause.

  • The complete guide to running Windows on a Mac

    Mac OS X is a great operating system for most tasks, but some enterprise software just won't run on anything but Windows. This guide will show you how to get Windows 7 running on your Mac. And since Windows 8 Developer Preview was just released a few weeks ago, it made sense to include this as well to spare you the early adopter pains I had.

  • Mac OS X Lion has a problem with creative tools

    We outline issues with tools from Adobe, Quark, Autodesk, Maxon and Microsoft.

  • Mac OS X Lion Server is a downgrade that could see corporate IT switching to Windows

    The new Profile Manager is a nice addition, but in almost every other respect, Lion Server is a downgrade that may prompt a move to Windows Server.

  • Mac OS X Lion: What you need to know

    Apple has been gradually pulling back the curtain on its latest and greatest cat, first at a preview event last October and then this week at the Worldwide Developers Conference. And what we?ve seen thus far is a pretty significant shift for the Mac OS, influenced in large part by Apple?s mobile operating system, iOS.

  • Apple plans to democratise servers with its Mac OS X strategy

    Recently, Apple previewed more features that will be available in its upcoming release of Mac OS X 10.7, "Lion." We first got a glimpse of Lion at Apple's Back to the Mac event in October, when CEO Steve Jobs said that several technologies developed in Apple's iOS mobile operating system would be brought back into Mac OS X as part of Lion. Since iOS evolved from earlier versions of Mac OS X, the "back to the Mac" moniker made sense.

  • A decade of Mac OS X

    On March 24, 2001, the iMac was less than three years old, the iPod was still more than six months away, and Macs ran at astounding speeds of up to 733MHz. But most importantly, Apple on that day released the first official version of Mac OS X, changing the future of its platform forever.

  • HTML 5 and the future of the web

    One of the latest tech buzzwords given wings by the success of the iPhone and iPad is HTML5. Apple has pitched this up-and-coming iteration of the web?s main building block as everything from an alternative App Store platform to the Flash-less future of multimedia on the Internet. But what exactly is HTML5 and what are its real world benefits to average users like you and me?

  • Hitachi vs Seagate vs Western Digital: Hard drive makers talk up new storage tech

    In a reflection of the hard-fought battle among hard drive makers to get ahead of rivals, Hitachi, Seagate and Western Digital this week talked up storage innovations, including a Hitachi drive that combines an optical platter with Micron's densest NAND flash memory and advanced hard drives from Western Digital and Seagate that hold up to 3TB of data.
