Have you ever needed to perform a Windows install, but lacked the necessary hardware to do an install? After ridding my house of optical drives, and having a limited number of large USB drives, I devised a way to install Windows without the use of either! By using Linux’s wonderful KVM application, it’s possible to install Windows 7 on your hard drive with nothing more than a Windows ISO.

The AlwaysInnovating TouchBook is an ARM-based netbook that also has a removable keyboard base that contains a second battery. I was hoping that though one, I could experience what ARM hardware could bring to the traditional Intel-dominated netbook market. Today I received shipment of the AlwaysInnovating TouchBook. Here’s the unboxing and subsequent first-boot.

I decided to give Snow Leopard gold master(10a432) a try on my fancy Macbook unibody. I had become accustomed to some of the particular quirks and performance of Leopard 10.5 on my hardware, and wanted to see what new features or performance I should be expecting for the next release of OS X.
