The Comfort in 8GB of RAM.
A lot of computers sold in 2011 comes with 4GB of ram or higher. For most, that amount of RAM is more than enough. For the past 3 months I found out that I personally needs at minimum 8GB of RAM. I’d go for 16GB as long as it doesn’t cost too much. I can get 2x4GB SO-DIMM RAM for under $60 while 2x8GB SO-DIMM costs more than $800.
I set-up a Mac mini earlier today. The office requires a certain Windows-only program, so I installed Windows on Parallels. It used all the RAM it could get and used up all 4GB. I’ve just ordered 2x4GB SO-DIMM RAM for the Mac mini. I know it would run better with more RAM.
Yet another problem with a hard drive.
One of the office computers was having problems throughout the week. I decided to take it home and troubleshoot it for the weekend. I found out there are some problems with the hard drive. The first thing I do is running Spinrite in recovery mode.
The good news is that Spinrite is able to recover data from the bad sector. The bad news is that the process is going to take longer than I expected.
One Saturday Night…….
At home with some new toys.
One Mac mini with MacBook Air Superdrive and Keyboard.
In the back you can see Foo Fighters “Back and Forth” Blu-ray and Anthrax “Worship Music” CD.
Apple readies productions at Foxconn Brazil.
According to a highly unreliable and untrusted sources, Apple employees have booked flights to Brazil to oversee productions at Foxconn factory. No details were given about what the product is. The Apple employees also have booked return flights to Cupertino sometimes in mid October.
The same highly unreliable and untrusted sources also said: “iPad 3? Are you kidding me?”
There you go.
Dear Hollywood, Stop It!
It is pretty apparent that Hollywood has been running good ideas for years. Stop remaking movies!
Remaking cheesy movies would only show how clueless Hollywood is.
It’s an Overkill, but we are still wanting more.
The show might have been dubbed as The Big 4, but there jam should have been called The Big 5. At Yankees Stadium in Bronx, members of Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax and Exodus performed “Overkill”, a Motorhead’s classic. Yes, Exodus member Gary Holt who is filling in for Slayer’s Jeff Hanneman was on stage jamming with the other 4 bands. At the end of the song, Dave Lombardo and Charlie Benante took turns on the drums. Note to Lars Ulrich, now that’s the proper way to play drum.
- James Hetfield
- Kirk Hammett
- Rob Trujillo
- Lars Ulrich
- Kerry King
- Dave Lombardo
- Gary Holt
- David Ellefson
- Chris Broderick
- Shawn Drover
- Joey Belladona
- Scott Ian

Not sure If I saw Dave Mustaine, Tom Araya or Jeff Hanneman.
