Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

This is an article about the Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. While you are reading this article, you must be asking whether the Mac OS X 10.6 will bring any difference to you? Is worth the upgrade? Is Snow Leopard good?

Here is the answer, this upgrade for my Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard costs me RM 39.00 (includes everything - mail, tax and etc..). The reason it is RM 39.00 because I am an eligible MacBook Pro 13 inch owner which i bought it on end of July.

I would say very little changes on the Snow Leopard. It took about 1 hour to install the Snow Leopard. Here i will explain the good and the bad of the Snow Leopard:

Good
1. Free Up 15 GB of my hard disk space on my MacBook Pro 13 inch.
2. Snappier start up time
3. Support of Email Exchange support
4. Fast response on the spotlight (Search Engine)
5. Neatier Expose
6. Better User Interface (UI) - Better Stack
7. Screen Record and easier view while playing videos on the QuickTime X
8. Better Response on the WiFi (Airport wireless)
9. 64 bit Integration (Some Applications are running on 64 bit) wow!
10. Copy and paste pdf (able to copy single column - yet acrobat reader can do it. No difference!)

Bad
1. Expensive (Not worth the upgrade) Apple should Give it for FREE!
2. Modest update. Difference between the Mac OS 10.5 Leopard and the Snow Leopard are similar. (in terms of function and overall). Dock Menus are the same with Leopard! OMG!
3. High Memory (RAM - 2 GB DDR3 RAM not enough!) for normal surfing (eg. iTunes, Microsoft Messenger, Safari, Firefox etc..)
4. Printer problems - cant print because of drivers. ARgh!!
5. Not many software can support the new snow leopard
6. Say goodbye to PowerPC. It only support the Intel Based processors.
7. Safari 4 - like the IE (Internet Explorer 7) crappy. Facebook cant support all applications. Shameful. Opera 9.64 is a better browser!

Therefore, if you want faster performance. It is worth upgrading. Else, not advisable to upgrade now.

1 August 2009 - KL Protest Jam & PC fair

Today, it is a day to be remembered. This is because of the KL jam that I have experienced just to go to PC fair at KLCC. I get out from my house about 2.40 p.m. to go to KLCC for pc fair and also to wait for my parents back from China. Firstly, when i get out from my house (Bandar Sunway) to the LDP. The traffic was very heavy as i am heading to the federal highway. After thinking of the jam, I have decided to use NPE to go to KLCC since it is severely jammed up. Using NPE from Sunway to Sg. Besi was smooth which took only 10 mins.

After using the NPE highway, that Sg Besi Highway was very congested. Thanks god there is the SMART Tunnel on the left side. If not, I will be stuck another 20 mins to enter to the right side of the SMART tunnel. Right after I paid the RM 2.00 toll, suddenly the traffic inside the SMART tunnel was congested too. I was driving like below 20kmh on a SMART highway. OMG... it never happens in my entire life before! I suppose highway will able to solve traffic jams in KL. SMART highway failed to solve the traffic jam in KL! What the hack! The jam took me about 30 mins as i am crawling inside the tunnel at average speed of 5-15 kmh. The heavy traffic inside tunnel was so bad until i have to use the emergency lane to overtake some cars inside the tunnel. Worst part is, there are many breakdown as I am using the SMART tunnel. The SMART Tunnel fails to get help to those car broke down!


SMART tunnel jam.


At last, at 3.30 p.m. i have successfully reached KLCC by using the Jalan Sultan Ismail way. I am so lucky to know some shortcuts around KL. The PC fair in KLCC was not that interesting and plus the crowd were fewer than the previous. After 2 hours in the PC fair, i went and fetch my parents at KL Sentral as they took the AirAsia bus. Once i get out from KLCC, I just found out some of the road were empty as I am the only one is using that road. That time I was at Dataran Merdeka that side. Suddenly i saw water on the road and lots of police forces EVERYWHERE! I was shocked and stunned about this matter. Later, the police blocked the road to the KL Sentral and I have to use alternative way that caused another 20 mins. At last, I am able to meet my parents at KL Sentral.

On the way back from the KL Sentral, i just found out from my parents that there were some protests about the ISA in KL. I felt lucky that I dint use Federal Highway because the jam was about 10km long! That was unbelievable! If i use the federal highway, I would get stuck in the jam for 2 hours! I felt lucky about myself. I have managed enter KLCC within 45 mins with the massive jam in KL!
