Apple may switch to Intel chips

| Apple to ditch IBM, switch to Intel chips | CNET News.com | Apple has used IBM's PowerPC processors since 1994, but will begin a phased transition to Intel's chips, sources familiar with the situation said.

HOW-TO: Turn your Mac mini into a media center

| From engaget.com | Yep, everyone's talking about using the Mac mini as a home media center, and there's a reason why: its diminutive form factor makes it a good candidate to fit unobtrusively into an existing audio/video or home theater setup.

Create a customized 10.3 'Rescue CD/DVD'

From the good folks at macosxhints.com.

I always thought it might be helpful to use the OS X installation CD not only for the purpose of installing the OS, but to do some repairs which can't be done when running from the hard disk. Fortunately, Apple has made this very easy. The only thing you have to do is to add the application(s) of your choice to the /Applications -> Utilities folder of the installation CD/DVD. After that, boot from the copy of the DVD, and in addition to the usual utilities, (for instance) the Terminal will appear in the list of commands you can execute if you added it before. I find that really useful, because if something goes wrong, the underlying Unix commands are most times able to fix it.
