Big Mac Blog — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 23:14:22 +0000

The new Magic Mouse is a mighty fine bit of kit. Oddly enough, despite only having a couple of gestures enabled, the Magic Mouse is full multi touch enabled.

Carbon Copy Cloner: Clone, Copy and Backup your data…..tasty!

Big Mac Blog — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:25:39 +0000

Carbon Copy Cloner has been around for quite some time now but that has not diminished quite how useful this application can be. Its especially useful for making a completely cloned copy of drive and has got me out of trouble many a time. In its latest iteration it has a simplified interface and really feels like a premium application rather than the freeware that it has always been!

Enjoy.

Luckily for me there is a free application that adds a new system preference pane to system preferences and allows you to add and delete words en masse…..which is nice.
