Split & Concat

A really interesting app that i found recently is Split & Concat.

A small utility to split large files or concatenate (put together) split files. Especially handy to assemble downloaded files from Internet newsgroups or for preparing an upload of a large binary file. Also used for dividing a large file over several CD's or DVD's.

Write NTFS on Mac OS X

A lot of mac users can't write ntfs disks. If you want to write on ntfs disks the only thing you need is macfuse. Macfuse allows you to extend Mac OS X's native file handling capabilities via 3rd-party file systems. The second thing you need is the ntfs-3g fuse, which ables system to load NTFS with read and write capability.

Twitter add on for firefox

A really nice plug in for firefox was suggested by the user Exael. The add on is called Twitter Fox and you can find it here. It works pretty well at both mac and ubuntu that i tested.

iPhone and certificates

A lot of universities and other organizations have some certificates in order to log in to their network. The easiest way to install such a certificate to your iPhone is by setting up a mail account in your iPhone and then send the certificate to the account you just set up as an attachment. The only thing you have to do now is just click and install the certificate. Ciao

New White MacBook

Apple quietly bumped the specs on the white MacBook. Changes to the base specs include:

- Processsor speed bumped from 2.0 GHz to 2.13 GHz.
- RAM speed bumped from 667 MHz to 800 MHz.
- Hard drive capacity increased from 120 GB to 160 GB. Build-to-order options up to 500 GB are now available, up from a previous maximum of 320 GB. Notably, the aluminum MacBook and MacBook Pro continue to offer maximum hard drive capacities of 320 GB.

In addition, Apple now advertises battery life of "up to 5 hrs wireless productivity", an increase over the previous advertised battery life of 4.5 hours. Finally, the new MacBook is advertised to meet new Energy Star Version 5.0 requirements and is rated EPEAT Gold, compared to a Silver rating on the previous model.

Base pricing remains at $999.

Notably, the unidentified "Mobile Computing" device that appeared in Best Buy's inventory system earlier this week was in fact this updated white MacBook.

Moving Outlook Contacts to Mac OS X Address Book

Don’t bother with any of Outlook’s “export as text/cvs” functions, importing these files is nearly impossible. Exporting as vCard is conveniently not an option. “Save As” vCard is possible, but you can only do it for one contact at a time.

Here’s the easy way to get Outlook to save a whole bunch of vCards for you:

1. Open Outlook Contacts list.
2. Select all your contacts. This may be easiest in “Address Cards” view.
3. In the “Action” menu, select “Forward as vCard”.
4. Wait a moment while Outlook creates a new email with all of your contacts attached to it as vCards.
5. Send this email to yourself.
6. Upon receipt of this email, save all the attachments to a location your mac can access, then import them into your Mac OS X Address Book.
