The Weapon of Choice...

Mac OS X 10.4.8 or later (x86 only)
------------------------------------------
Apple is, in our opinion, the best commercial alternative, their shift to the Intel chip-set makes (with some minor configuration) OS X, usable on other Intel PC devices. Leopard, makes modern Macs a Uber Hacker elite just by having such a beautiful and elegant tool.

• I got a 250 GIG drive for it, now trying to get my hands on Leopard 10.5.1
• I got 2 GIGs of RAM.
• 150 gig harddrive space allocated to OS X
• I will have 100 gig for temp media storage
  

This is important.

I would love to get the Mac Air, but Wi-Fi only access would not fly with the amount of utility required for major operations. and no optical drive?!? WTF!!! The battery....?

But you can't argue with its elegance, slim grace, and look. Its a beauty to behold, don't bring it to dirty parties, only black tie affairs.

The real deal is leopard, that cat is hard to get a collar for.

Dan Morrill builds a simple application on Android platform

I just saw Dan Morrill's video on Youtube. He does a fairly good job explaining how-to program a simple application on the gPhone emulator.

Of course, the possibilities are endless, and the portability of J2ME devices would be seamless. Java is the, more intelligent, weapon of choice for this platform and Google has its own classes designed for the gPhone.

I am looking forward to more videos like this, specifically in relation to the OpenGL capabilities with this platform. I am sure some very wicked interfaces can be designed and enhanced upon to give it all the glitz and glamour of the iPhone with the full scale raw power of a Linux based smart phone.

Our Black Beauty, (intel) Mac-Book will be repaired and installed with Leopard ready to commit to some full scale Eclipse development. I would love to explore this for networked gaming possibilities, with the built-in capabilities of the device's GPS (global positioning system).
