Apple to release Mac OS X 10.6?

Posted on 5 June 2008 in Mac OS X | 3 Comments »

“Snow Leopard” is the code name of this upcoming version of OS X (according to many non official sources).
It seems Apple wants to get rid of the 32 bits processors to switch to a 64 bits kernel for OS X.
As a result, there will be no more supported PPC processors if this version of OS X gets released on 2009 (according to rumors).
Total support for 64 bits is also the best thing for the latest generations of Intel Processors that feels better when running 64 bits applications in a 64 bits environment.

To me, everything is possible, and I won’t be surprised if another scenario happens: a 64 bits version of Leopard to run on PC computers!
But I also do think, the fact Apple will release this OS for 64 bits processors only is not possible since the iPhone’s processors are 32 bits…

Who knows?

Apple has already sent a Beta of the next update for Leopard.

It may seem a little “anticipated” especially with the good feedback for the previous update (the 10.5.3) but i guess that’s the normal evolution pace to have a fully-optimized OS :)

Fix All Of Leopard’s Internet Connection Issues

Posted on 29 May 2008 in Leopard, Macintosh Tips & Help | 4 Comments »

This trick solved many of the problems I had with Leopard: the 10 secs delay for Mail to check my email, slow connection on MSN Messenger, Adium won’t connect to MSN at all…
Two steps to fix this(these) issue(s):

  1. go to Network > Advanced > DNS, and add these DNS: 4.2.2.2 & 141.1.1.1, click on “Apply” and close system preferences.
  2. open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app), and type this command: sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

Now you can start your applications and you’ll feel the change!
