Big LCD and small fonts

Sounds familiar?

I have a 27” iMac. A fantastic machine, my second iMac. With a 27” screen.

Here it goes. The fonts are too small. Restart Xorg with bigger DPI? Hm, sorry, you are in the wrong world. No go.

In Safari I’m using ZoomBySite extension for making bigger fonts.

I changed the font size in Twitter, Reeder, ReadNow.

So sometimes big is too big.

But it is still a great machine.

Safari 5.1.2

Apple today released Safari 5.1.2. Among other fixes it should fix now Safari’s memory management.

I had some troubles with my 27” 5i iMac under Lion. Obviously 4 GB of RAM isn’t enough for Lion. I upgraded to 12 GB. My machine works now smoothly. No hiccups.

wunderlist

I started using wunderlist on both my iMac in iPhone. I miss one big feature: repeating tasks. I really hope we will see this feature soon.

But for now I’m using iCal for repeating tasks - reminders for paying the bills.

Early MacBook Pro i5 and i7 test results

Early test results: MacBook Pro Core i5 and i7 versus other Mac

EARLY IMPRESSIONS
The 2010 Core i5 and Core i7 MacBook Pros are a significant performance upgrade over the fastest 2009 Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro. However, they are no match for the Core i7 iMac. For that matter, they are no match for any Mac Pro Nehalem 4-core or 8-core with a Radeon HD 4870 or GeForce GTX 285.

And today are coming new tests from Bare Feats (under More to come on 2010MacBook Pros).

I sent an email to Rob-ART if he could include older Macs in to his tests. He said he will do his best to meet my need. I’m planning to buy a Core i7 MBP and want to know how does it play the game with my early 2008 iMac 2.8.
