This hackintosh blog has been neglected big time for the past 2 months. I’ve been busy with working on my mobile booklet website over at MobileBooklet.com, porting it from Ruby on Rails to Python on Google App Engine.
This blog may have been neglected, but not my hackintosh netbook. I’m still using my Dell Mini 10v hackintosh netbook daily after 5 months. It’s mostly used for surfing the net and reading digital comics using FFView. Rotating the netbook to view comic book pages in portrait mode is sweet, but I usually end up rotating the netbook quite often for those two-page spreads.
After 5 months, I’m still happy with my hackintosh netbook, but I’m wondering, would the Apple iPad make me happier?

I haven’t upgraded the RAM on my Dell Mini 10v. I think any reputable branded RAM that works with the Dell Mini 10v should work fine with OS X.

Success! It took about two hours on Monday morning to get this puppy up and running. Then another 5 minutes to get NBI to fix my sound after the upgrade, just like you wrote in one of your entries. This is awesome… Now, on to iphone developing…

Ren, two hours on your first attempt. That’s great. Must have been fun.

I did plenty of research… Tons. So I was very ready for it. I’ve been enjoying learning about OS X this last week. It’s really something.

You’re kidding aren’t ya about buying an iPad. How could you ever get by with only 16 to 64gigs of memory, not flash, no webcam or multitasking? Not to mention the $800 lighter your wallet will be.
Hey, man, great blog. I just ordered a mini 10v and was then told that I could hackintosh it, which is great. It doubles it’s value, I think, both monetarily and in utility. Anyway, one question, what RAM chip do you recommend to upgrade this puppy? Will the brand matter when it comes to OS X?
