Virgin Mobile Broadband on a Mac – FAIL

It doesn’t work.

Yes, the new Virgin Mobile Broadband in the United States using the Novatel MC760 USB EVDO dongle..doesn’t work.

Their web site says you have to activate on a PC but then you can use it on a Mac. This is false. Once installed on your Mac, the drivers DO NOT recognize the MC760 and therefore it is unusable.

What a massive total failure by Virgin Mobile.

Mac App I Can’t Live Without: info.xhead

I have 63 username/password entries in info.xhead. How is one supposed to remember 50+ logins to different sites? And those are only the ones I have to write down because for whatever reason they wouldn’t let me use my usual username/password combinations.

Anyway I couldn’t live without info.xhead.

The Mac is Back (with a Vengeance)

I grew up on Macs. From the Mac Plus, to the SE, to an LCIII (in color!!!) then a Performa 6220CD, and a B&W G3 350. I was always a Mac guy, but some time around the B&W the world of Linux lured me over. For about 7 years the Mac was only a secondary machine, while all my attention was on Linux on a PC. I’m happy to say:

The Mac is Back. Along with a slight upgrade.

Before:

After:

Theres no ifs ands or buts. This thing SMOKES.
