OS X Intel Boot speeds impressive

Steve Powered DellAt least in this video (warning, Windows Media file ahoy!) the boot time is smokin'. The videographer was kind enough to show OS X booting on both a Dell (am I the only one that shivers every time he thinks about OS X running on a Dell box?) and a Powerbook for a little unscientific benchmarking.

First off, a desktop machine is generally going to be faster than a laptop no matter the type of processor inside (an over simplification I know, but in general this rule works) and the Powerbook is most likely not running a clean install of OS X as the Dell machine is. All that being said, I am looking forward to the Intel Macs now more than ever.

I want one now, Uncle Steve!

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
