Found Footage: MacBook Paper
Filed under: Cult of Mac, Apple, Found Footage

If you can't bring yourself to shell out all that moola for a real MacBook Air, why not print out a tiny MacBook Paper? The MacBook Paper is even thinner than the MacBook Air, and it comes with a case at no additional cost. Don't even get me started on this thing's battery life (though I am pretty sure the battery isn't user replaceable).

Restoring your Mac from a Time Machine backup
Filed under: Blogging, Leopard
Time Machine is probably the defining feature in Mac OS X Leopard. It provides a nice, clean interface for you to backup and restore your files; but did you know you can also restore your computer from the Time Machine backup?

When you insert the Leopard install disk and boot off of it you will be presented with a semi-Mac OS X desktop. In the menu bar, select Utilities and then "Restore System from Backup..." Select your backup drive, the date you want to backup from, and then click restore.

James Duncan Davidson has a full guide on his website describing how the process went. He mentions that while it restores all the files, the caches and databases are not restored. This means when you launch programs such as Mail the application will need to recreate the database, which may take some time.

MacBook Air in Apple stores this Wednesday?
Filed under: Rumors, MacBook Air

You say you didn't pre-order a MacBook Air (unlike some bloggers I could name)? No problem! The Boy Genius Report says that Apple Stores already have them in the stock rooms (cleverly disguised as stacks of interoffice mail, no doubt), and they will be going on sale this Wednesday. The Apple Geniuses just need to get their bearings with the new laptops and all should be set.

Let us know in the comments if you spot a MacBook Air at your local Apple Store.

Show floor video: Webex lets you collaborate across platforms
Filed under: Macworld, Software, Video
So let's say you've got a Panther machine on your DSL connection with a firewall, and another computer across town running Windows 98 on a dual-ISDN connection, but you really need to control the Mac from the PC. No dice, right? According to Webex, this might just be possible,* although your experience won't be a zippy thrill-ride.

Webex uses a subscription-based tool to allow remote access across computers, and at Macworld they were talking about Mac-to-PC friendliness. Scott had a chat and wound up with pricing (it's as cheap as $10.35/month), a website (pcnow.com), and the aforementioned horrific scenario of connectivity. Oh, and they've got iPhone compatibility of a sort, just be aware of the limitations.

*In theory, Webex engineers say a 56k connection will allow connectivity. The specs also provide compatibility with Panther and Win98 on the low end. Note I said "low end" which means the performance won't be anything close to a high-speed connection and some more current OS'es.

Full video explanation after the jump.
