news of 2003-12-27



Holidays = Slow news days

Nothing much has happened in the Mac rumours and news world in the past few days, and there probably won't be much to report about in the coming days. We will however contact all of our sources for what's going to happen at MWSF 2004 (which is really only a few days into the new year away...) once more and create a round-up report for you in the coming days (as soon as the info is gathered and packed up nicely).
Recent rumours about the iPod range, for example, let us rethink what sources said earlier, and we're sure to bring you the right information at the right time. Before MWSF kicks off, of course. ;-)

Speed up startup time in Mac OS X 10.3.2

Easily, really. Apple just 'forgot' something... ->

sudo ln -s /System/Library/Extensions/BootCache.kext/Contents/Resources/BootCacheControl /usr/sbin/BootCacheControl

After doing it, you'll have to restart at least twice to see the effect. (Explanation: Mac OS X expects the BootCacheControl in /usr/sbin/, but Apple has either put it into the wrong place or it isn't automatically created.) This macosx.com thread lays out how it works and what to do. (But you can really just do what the bold line says.) ;-)
