So I stumbled upon this video talking about OpenID and the future of a single login across all of that thing called the internet, primarily “Web 2.0″ type sites like; WordPress, LiveJournal, AOL, and other junk out there that people can’t live without. The idea isn’t new, but the technology that they are actually using is. Take a look, experiment.
Tech Safe,
Matt

Hello, I’m Matt Ford. I spend many hours a day on reading, watching, and playing with technology and art. I have a feeling that I can find something of interest for you.
I used to use this blog specifically for OSx86 information, which I have abandoned for now. Please check back often since I plan to add many posts a day, whether it be video, links, or just general discussion. And please feel free to leave comments!
Have fun, tech safe.
-Matt

You will need to locate the file: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
Copy it to your desktop.
Open it with TextEdit…it should look like this:
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC “-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN” “http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd”>
<plist version=”1.0″>
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>-v</string>
<key>Boot Graphics</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>10</string>
</dict>
</plist>
Add above Boot Graphics:
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1280×1024x32</string>
Then put the file back into the folder…reboot.

Ok, the first thing is the advanced patches and configurations AFTER install….
Since I have pretty bad mouse tearing on my ATI X300, I’m going to try JaS’s ATI fixer…
Instructions(from insanelymac forum):
download the archive
unzip the file
open terminal
do the following
sudo -s
enter your password
rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/ATI*
cp -r /Users/YOUR USER NAME HERE/Desktop/Ati/build/Debug/Ati.kext /System/Library/Extensions/
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/Ati.kext
kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/
then you’re done!!!
reboot system
