Slow Mac App Store?

One of the few things that really annoys me on my Mac at the moment is the Mac App store, no doubt about its a new and fairly undone product so far.

One of the issues I have is the speed of navigating around, it just takes foreeeeever…

Luckily El Goog is your friend and he found this little link for me, so far - IT WORKS! :D

//Rock on!

Since I upgraded to Lion on my Mac there have been a few things not working like they used to… One of them is iSync that quietly have been deleted, and so have Frontrow - iSync was easy to just copy from my Snow Leopard backup and drop on it’s usual spot in /Applications folder, and Frontrow I never really used anyway (but maybe soon I will take a closer look on Plex, just to see if Im missing out on something). Today I found yet another small thing I used to use a LOT - sending files to my Bluetooth devices! It’s for some reason no longer there… Maybe because iOS is supposed to get WiFi sync soon? Anyway, I don’t have an iOS device so I want my BT sending back! Spend some time with El Goog and found two links to my solution: The missing link in Automator How to build it in Automator As seen in the picture above, tadaa thats how it should look! :)

Geekbench High Score! on Flickr.There might be a new roaring Mac Mini Lion Server out there by now - but my 2010 edition does pretty damn well with a fresh installed OS on top of a 8GB upgraded machine. No sad feelings about the new editions, they either have much better graphics, with half the hard disc space and an almost similar processor (Mac Mini i3/i5 w 500GB + Radeon HD) or a little bit worse graphics than I already have but with a lot better processor (Quad Core + Intel 3000) = No real need to upgrade. If they had went all in and given the Server the awesome Radeon HD AND the Quad Core, then I would give it some thought, but not like this. I am a very happy Mac Mini 2010 owner, now with blazing fast Lion running in its veins.

GeekBench Mac Mini Server 2010 2x2 on Flickr.Don’t ever under estimate the mighty power of a Mini Mac! It’s here compared to an almost identical Mac with double amount of RAM, were the more powerfull version is of course the winner… But my friends, try look trough GeekBench’ online catalog of others results and you see my Mac is very similar powerfull to a AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition 2 cores @ 3100 MHz!!! http://www.primatelabs.ca/geekbench/pc-benchmarks/
