Our Hackintosh Build Upgrades Without Issue to 10.6.4 [Updates]: "

Apple released Mac OS X 10.6.4 just over a week ago, and if you've been waiting to hear whether it works on systems built following our start-to-finish Hackintosh guide or the newer no-hacking-required guide, I've got good news: I finally got around to installing the update, and the Hackintosh upgraded without issue.

Atom Windows Home Server build on a Friday night – v1 Server Operating System and Overview – Video Edition

Atom Windows Home Server build on a Friday night – v1 Server Operating System and Overview – Video Edition: "

In the last article I built this D510 Windows Home Server. In this post John Zajdler and I will load the OS, talk about Windows Home Server v1 and give you some tips when building your own WHS.

Background

I had been looking for a small form factor for a WHS build for my sister-in-law in recent months. Since the LX195 I bought for my sister was no longer sold, and not that powerful anyway, I decided that a dual-core small form factor would process enough, not be a power hog and fit into their home entertainment center.

Since I was building this WHS for someone else I needed to meet three main requirements:

• Cost less than a HP MSS (otherwise just buy a EX495)


• Low watt power usage (35 watts target)


• Small form and high acceptance factor

The previous article is at: http://usingwindowshomeserver.com/2010/05/04/atom-windows-home-server-build-on-a-friday-night-purchase-and-assembly-video-edition/

After tax cost, not including two used 2.5” USB Drives, was $309.61. Not a super cheap build but not expensive either. This build is great for someone like me with extra parts lying around and a Vail beta installation.

This is also a great build for the family. It is not too complicated and could be a great project for you and your children. Your kids can see inside it and the assembly takes less than 30 minutes. Once it is up and running your family can spend hours looking inside and watching your WHS process your media.

Equipment Needed

• Two beers (Optional as always)


• Previously Built Windows Home Server


• OEM v1 WHS OS or Windows Server code name Vail


• John Zajdler (optional)

Lets set this pig on fire!

Videos

Below are two 7 minute videos showing the loading of the operating system of the Windows Home Server. The videos are in HD and give some good information of what to expect with a WHS build. Since I had already done video of the WHS screens during load, this is more of a two man forum on WHS and the loading process.

Conclusion – Sweet Build

A special thank you to John Zajdler, Christopher Lux for the consult and all of the encouragement on this build.

See you next Friday night,

Timothy Daleo

TUAW tested: iPhone 4 works with original iPhone dock

TUAW tested: iPhone 4 works with original iPhone dock: "

Filed under: Accessories

Editor's Note: We inadvertently neglected to acknowledge the other tipsters who brought this feature to our attention. Thank you to Alan Wyman, 'iPhone Coder,' DocRock & everyone else who pointed this out.



Over on Twitter, user TheiJcaP tipped us to the fact that the new iPhone 4 does work with the original iPhone dock. Being fanatical OCD maniacs moderately well organized, one and all, we headed off to our carefully labeled 'outdated iPhone parts' box and pulled out some spare docks for units that are no longer serviceble.



Just as promised, the iPhone 4 fit perfectly into the dock, and even now my new unit is continuing its initial sync (yes, I do have a lot of data to transfer) in a happily near-vertical position.



This is just one of those tiny little bits of synchronicity that bring joy in life. It's not going to clean up oil spills or end disease and suffering, but what a lovely discovery and a pleasant surprise in our more immediate day-to-day world.
