For some reason, my mac freezes randomly during online activities... I wonder what's wrong. One thing's for sure though, it only happens when I'm online! Is this a driver related issue? Or a bootcamp issue? I wonder...
I tried updating the broadcom wireless card drivers and no difference it still does it randomly, one thing that worries me is that its starting to happen more and more... Is this Apple's way to make me switch to Mac OS X?

Tips for BootCamp users!

If you, like me, would rather use Windows on your mac, then I have a good selection of tools for you!
Let's start with Lubbo's Macbook Pro Fan Control! This tool allows you to control the fans on your Macbook Pro (Also compatible with Macbook). Mind you through, these fans are REALLY loud when in maximum speed!
Now, we all know that due to Apple's sleek designs, these macs don't have an HDD LED, so I have the solution for that too! Diskled is an app that will stay on your system tray and will blink accordingly to your hard drive activities!
And last but not least, ever wanted to get more horsepower out of your graphics card? There's an app for that too (Provided that you, like me, have an nVidia Geforce 320m ) and this app is called EVGA Precision it actually lets you overclock your GPU very easilly with absolutelly no hassle! If you want more information about your card, use GPU-Z!

So I got a mac...
Yesterday I got a macbook, here's the specs:
- Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.4
- 2GB of DDR3 Ram @ 1067Mhz
- 250GB Hard Drive @ 5400RPM (8MB Cache)
- nVidia Geforce 320m
Same specs as a Mac Mini nowadays.
So anyways, I gave MacOS X a try, and to be honest, I hate it. It seems too bloated to me, and I just don't get along with it. I don't like the way it works, all apps are just an icon, they don't have their folders, its all inside them. iTunes...Meh I had enough of it from my iPod times. I hate it, as soon as I dragged my songs onto it, it started copying them to the hard drive! Without asking first!
Oh well... One thing I do like about Mac OS X is that it looks good, but that's been apple's Philosophy all along, to attract hipster customers, it's really easy to use, and there's always Mac OS equivalents of lots of apps you use!
but alas, I like the close button on the right, and a maximize/minimize button too! (What the hell does that "+" do anyways? I never got it! It somehow "maximized" the window, but didn't stretch on the whole monitor.
What apps did I use?... iTunes for music, no matter how much I googled, that seemed to be the right choice (Once you go foobar, you don't go back), Adium for MSN and etc.. (Still prefer Digsby, why? To be honest I don't know, maybe I wasn't used to Adium yet, even though digsby uses some things from adium), uTorrent for torrents (Amazingly, its really well done, but I never got to check out the tetris easter egg), Dropbox, I have to have this in every computer I own, and I think that's it.
So, to finish all of this..
Hi! I am a mac, and Windows 7 was completely MY choice!
