My Hackintosh is now fully recognized, graphics card and all, in Lion. For the past week my graphics card (Radeon 5770) was giving me major shit as only showing up as a Radeon 5000 so no Steam games or Cider games would work. A week of research and .plist and .kext hacking later and I am back up and running.
More details to follow.
I don’t see this mentioned on any of the sites i normally read so I am going to post it right NOW. So you are running Lion or Snow Leopard and you have Xcode installed through the Mac App Store. The problem is that after it is installed, you have a 2 to 4 GB installer in your /Applications folder. If you delete the installer, you won’t be informed in the Mac App Store when an update to Xcode is released. If you keep it on your computer, you are wasting 2 to 4 GB of unnecessary installer data.
Here are three easy steps that lets you get rid of the bulk of the installer, but still have it show up in the Mac App Store as installed and will let you know when updates are available.
Step 1.
Right click (or control click if you STILL don’t use a two button mouse setup) on the Install Xcode application and select “Show Package Contents”
Step 2.
Navigate inside the package to “Contents/Resources/Packages”
Step 3.
Select all of the .pkg files that are inside the Packages folder and DELETE THAT SHIT. Don’t forget to empty your trash to really feel the effects of those savings.
Congratulations! You have now cleared up enough space on your computer to fit approximately 2 minutes of ProRes 4444 NTSC footage on your computer. Of course if you are using your boot volume to hold video footage, you have a bunch of other problems.
February 2012 Update: With the release of Xcode 4.3 / 4.4 Apple has now made Xcode itself an executable application that is updated like normal applications so no more having to keep an installer on the system along with an Xcode install. This applies to anyone running Mac OS X 10.7.3 and above.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this is the SEASON FINALE of Jersey Shore. I am ecstatic right now. Here I was thinking I would have to suffer through another two or three weeks of this shit. Instead it all ends today. Today we get closure on the sad state of affairs with the Situation. His bad luck continues to follow him as he was recently ejected from an Apple store after trying to cut in line for an iPhone 4S. We get possibly a hint of things to come next January for what the gang was doing in Seaside this summer. Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the live blog these past few months and suffering through this crap together.
And now without further ado, the conclusion to the Jersey Shore Liveblog… Season Four Episode Twelve.

We are at the home stretch. After this week we have, (clicks on calendar menubar icon…) TWO more episodes left. That means tonight included there are three episodes left. The season is just about over. One more season after this, the show is DONE! DONEZO! I am watching last weeks episode right now. Vinny (fresh off of smooshing Snooki) and the male gang goes to Siciliy to meet his family and and Snooki, Deena, Sammi and J-Woww go wine tasting. Of course the dudes have a normal reflecting time and the girls got bat shit drunk and broke everything they got in contact with. J-woww gets mad credit for calling Snooki out although she proved wrong in the long run as Snooki recently announced on Twitter that herself and Jionni were celebrating their 1 year anniversary.
No idea what’s in store for tonight so tune in to find out! I bet it involves Situation getting into a fight with someone in the house, people getting drunk and a lot of sex!
