Boot Camp 1.2 supports Windows Vista
March 28, 2007
Boot Camp 1.2 supports Windows Vista
So much for that silly story going around last week that Leopard, the next version of the Mac OS X, was going to be delayed until October so its Boot Camp feature — which lets Intel-based Macs dual-boot with Windows — could support Windows Vista.
Apple has just released Boot Camp 1.2 — and it supports Vista now.
Don’t everyone rush to the servers at once . . .
Here’s what’s new in 1.2:
* Support for Windows Vista (32-bit)
* Updated drivers, including but not limited to trackpad, AppleTime (synch), audio, graphics, modem, iSight camera
* Support the Apple Remote (works with iTunes and Windows Media Player)
* A Windows system tray icon for easy access to Boot Camp information and actions
* Improved keyboard support for Korean, Chinese, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Russian, and French Canadian
* Improved Windows driver installation experience
* Updated documentation and Boot Camp on-line help in Windows
* Apple Software Update (for Windows XP and Vista)
Apple TV = hacked
Apple TV = hacked by ZDNet’s Jason D. O’Grady — The first day after Apple TV began shipping a bunch of sharp-as-a-tack coder types hacked Apple’s new set top box to shreds.
The first day after Apple TV began shipping a bunch of sharp-as-a-tack coder types hacked Apple’s new set top box to shreds:
Non-Apple TV owners can enjoy the out of box experience by viewing the opening video which one crafty person ripped from the hard drive and posted in all of it’s 720p glory. You can also download the Quartz Composer Screen Saver and the Now Playing Screen. And if you’re truly hard-core you can download the entire Apple TV OS, and (conceivably) install it on another Mac.
But this is just scratching the Apple TV surface.
True hackers will want to immediately take it apart (photos) and upgrade the wimpy 40GB HDD to 80 or 120GB – it’s a standard 2.5-inch notebook mechanism (another HDD upgrade tutorial is here).
If you really want to hack it to the next level you can play Xvid movies on Apple TV, but it ain’t pretty and involves removing the HDD (covered above) and un-breaking SSH (using Perian and DropBear) so you can access the Apple TV remotely.
If that’s too much hassle for you there’s a solution to automatically convert Xvid, Divx, WMV files to Apple TV format, and then import them into iTunes with a convenient Automator workflow.
You can even turn a Mac mini into an Apple TV or an Apple TV into a Web server (by installing Apache).
