Dear YouTube,
Why has it taken more than an hour to buffer only half of a five minute video? I know you're popular and traffic must be awful, but the rest of my interwebs is loaing really fast. Please YouTube; play nice?
Yeah of course it does, however the majority of hardware can support OSx86 as long as you locate the correct drivers for it. The main nasties are sound and wireless drivers, which are easily done via google search
Doesn't it matter what hardware you install OSx86 on?
There are loads of tutorials out there on how to Dual-boot pretty much any combination of Operating Systems, and I felt it was about time I contributed my part on how to dual boot two of my favourite ones: Ubuntu Linux and OSx86.
There are several…

How Successfully Dual-Boot Hackintosh and Ubuntu Linux
There are loads of tutorials out there on how to Dual-boot pretty much any combination of Operating Systems, and I felt it was about time I contributed my part on how to dual boot two of my favourite ones: Ubuntu Linux and OSx86.

Oh deary me.
As somebody who writes a lot, either for essays or for personal enjoyment, I once thought I had a sufficient mastery of the English language to see me through the most difficult of literary situations. Alas no, it would seem.

I really rather dislike either G4 processors, or USB.
About a year ago myself an my mum (mom to my American brethren) chipped together and bought a 500gb external HDD so that my Desktop PC (running Windows at the time) could encompass the enormity of our combined iTunes. As you can see from my specs, both machines I own have puny HDDs, so to store the many films/tv shows we converted from dvd, and my 20 gigabytes of nasty heavy metal music (as well as my mum's rather pathetic 5 gigabytes of pop/rock) an external drive of immense capacity was requir… Continue

My First Ever Blog Post in History, seriously, and the pwning of an AOL salesman.
I hope you will all forgive me for the poor and unmatured quality of this post, as I've never found reason to blog about anything before, however today I remembered I had a Geeks account and felt it necessary to blog about something; for without bad content one cannot determine good content, and hopefully this post will make you better appreciate the skills of better and more interesting bloggers.
