Duncan Davidson on his blog explains the full procedure of performing a full restore of your Mac OSX Leopard installation from Time Machine using Leopard’s Install disc.

In short, Time Machine passed the ‘Trust, but Verify’ challenge with flying colors.

The newly announced $20 software upgrade for the Apple iPod Touch is not available for Apple customers in Saudi Arabia.

This is thanks to the lack of an iTunes store in Saudi Arabia. And as far as I know, you cannot walk into any of the local Apple stores and buy it. This will only push people into obtaining those applications through “questionable” methods.
The other issue with it is that any new iPod Touches will not have the new software as well. Apple said it will be free for any new iPod Touch buyers but it is not the case here in Saudi Arabia.
I urge Apple to look into the matter, we need demand an Apple iTunes store here!.

In addition to the standard streaming video of the keynote, you can watch it in high definition 720p, watch it from the Apple site.

You can also download it to iTunes and watch it on your iPod/iPhone.

You can watch the recorded keynote after you update your Quick time to the latest version on the following link. Happy watching.

Apple today introduced the world’s thinnest notebook: MacBook Air. It measures an unprecedented 0.16 inches at its thinnest point while its maximum height of 0.76 inches is less than the thinnest point on competing notebooks. In addition to a stunning 13.3-inch LED-backlit widescreen display, MacBook Air offers a full-size and backlit keyboard, a built-in iSight video camera for video conferencing, and a spacious trackpad with multi-touch gesture support, letting users pinch, rotate and swipe. The new notebook is powered by a 1.6 GHz or 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 4MB L2 cache, and it includes as standard features 2GB of memory, an 80GB 1.8-inch hard drive, and the latest 802.11n Wi-Fi technology and Bluetooth 2.1. Starting at just $1,799, MacBook Air begins shipping in two weeks.

Time Capsule :

A backup appliance that works seamlessly with Time Machine to automatically and wirelessly back up everything on one or more Macs running Mac OS X Leopard, Time Capsule combines an 802.11n base station with a server grade hard disk in one small package. “Bring Time Capsule home, plug it in, click a few buttons on your Macs and voilà—all the Macs in your house are being backed up automatically, every hour of every day,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. When it ships in February, Time Capsule will be available in models featuring 500GB and 1TB hard drives for $299 and $499, respectively

So what your waiting for go order already ^_^

One week before Macworld 2008, Apple updated the Mac Pro line.

The new Mac Pro combines two of Intel’s new 45 nanometer Quad-Core Xeon 5400 processors running up to 3.2 GHz, new graphics and up to 4TB of internal storage. Prices start at $2,799.

(From Macworld). Looks like those new Xeons are not as crappy as some haters claim it will be.
The Xserve also got updated.

The Xserve is configurable with up to two Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5400 processors running up to 3.0 GHz with 12MB of L2 cache per processor.

Thanks to Macworld for the story.
