Zooming

Alright, maybe I’m too late to know this, since Mac OS X 10.4.8 update was months ago, I just found out this cool little feature recently. Look at the picture I took below:
Apple's site ads
This is actually Apple official site’s ads. With some zoom in I can actually (Almost) watch it with the whole 13.3 inch screen! How cool is that, I got no problem on this little screen now, even if I watch YouTube, I could use the same zoom in feature as well. Look at picture below:
YouTube movie with zoom in feature
This zooming feature just came right on time. Once before, I told me friend that 13.3 inch is just way too small for me to even read the word or watch YouTube on it, my friend suggest me to use the browser zoom in key by pressing Command+(+) button, but it doesn’t help on watching YouTube on the browser. Until now, this update helps ;)

All I have to do is press down ALT (Option) key and scroll up using my mouse, I can actually set how near I want it to be… The nearest I can get is this:
zoommmmm
A little part of OS Ground web page. Don’t you think it just so cool. Nonetheless, I tried this zooming feature on Adobe Illustrator, well, came out result not so good. As most graphic designer know, Adobe Illustrator has no pixel at all, doesn’t matter how big or small you resize a the vector file (It will come pixelated on picture file though), but this zooming feature will cause pixelated on Adobe Illustrator file, so for graphic designer, get a 24 inch iMac instead.

Boot Camp WinXP

Ok, booted into WinXP another time to test the Boot Camp fixed update on EFI firmware update previously.
WinXP on Macbook
No, I don’t see changes on the timing on both Mac OS and WinXP after boot. Timing lost at least 4 hours each other still. Or maybe I did not use the latest Boot Camp version? As I know I’m downloading version 1.1.2 beta, or there is actually a better version? Well, everything still works well though, especially when I use my Adobe softwares on WinXP in Macbook. It was amazingly well and speed was so far the fastest I seen, even faster than Mac OS to be honest. Although Mac OS X was built with killer graphic especially this Macbook which claimed to have ATI Graphic, but still, opening applications can’t compare with Windows. In terms of speed, I will still rate Windows as number one so far. Probably because these applications was built on Windows and then re-code to Mac OS, some mistake/bug/or whatever you called it might appear though, who knows?
Select C Drive!
Dual boot WinXP is actually very easy. All you have to remember is to select C:/ drive when you’re prompt to the blue-screen (Not the death one). It just like what I did with Wine on Ubuntu, for my point of view, Boot Camp works somewhat like Wine, which they will create a fake C drive and let Windows to install on it, of course in Boot Camp case, they use BIOS to boot up so Windows knows it, Macintosh boot with EFI.

Funny thing is Microsoft is going to remove the EFI support on the final release of Windows Vista, what the heck are they thinking? Windows Vista Beta and RC1 were both support EFI boot up! I mean, if Vista final release support EFI, I’m sure they will be a lot of Macintosh users will switch back to Windows? Especially those who are still new to Macintosh (Maybe me?)
