RIP Big, my 15″ MacBook Pro

Opening "Big" for the first time

RIP "Big,"age 1.5 years, beloved Macbook Pro.

Big passed on Christmas morning of natural causes- a logic board failure. He was prounounced dead today, December 28, 2009, at approximately 3pm by local physician Trey Torrence, employee at Mac Consulting Group.

Big will be remembered by those who knew him by his outstanding looks and the things that he produced. Big enjoyed working long hours in his Photoshop lab as an illustrator. He was also an avid dreamweaver. He didn't much like working with windows as he preferred his own native workspace, known to him as "the Mac side." However, it was sometimes necessary to work with windows, as his education required him to use AutoCAD. A few of the projects that Big worked on can be found here.

He was preceded in death by Acer, an older laptop. Big was survived by Phillip "Phil," the iPod Touch.

DIY: Burn an iso to disk on a Mac

I have been having my MacBook Pro for about a year now and I have burned several CDs and DVDs using the superdrive. However, every time, I have to look up how to do it. This may seem like a simple task for advanced Mac users, but oh well. Anyway, here's how:

  1. Insert a blank disk. This can be a DVD or CD depending on the size of your iso.
  2. Find a .iso file (I can only assume that you acquired this legally).

    This is what a .iso file looks like

  3. Open "Disk Utility." (cmd+space, type "disk utility" and it should come up)

    Easy as pie

  4. Click File, and then "Open Disk Image."Find your .iso file and click "open."

    File >> Open Disk Image

    File >> Open Disk Image

  5. It will appear in the left-hand column. Click on the first one, and then click the "burn" button.

    select the .iso and click burn

    select the .iso and click burn

And that should be it!

Windows 7!

I just wanted to let ALL of my avid readers know that I removed WindowsXP from my MacBook Pro (MBP) and installed the Windows 7 RC on it. It works fine, so far. I will update this post as I use it more and get more "data." Here's a picture and a video, though.
