Install Windows on Mac

Somewhat similar to the Using Boot Camp to install Windows 7 on your Mac walkthrough, this tutorial will take you every step of the way through installing Microsoft Windows 7 on your Intel Mac (running 10.5 or later), using Boot Camp.
Note: if you’d rather not dual boot OS X and Windows 7, you can always install Windows 7 in a virtual environment using Parallels Desktop for Mac.

To install Windows 7 on your Mac using Boot Camp you will need the following:

  1. All firmware updates installed on your Mac (use Apple Button -> Software Update… to check)
  2. A Windows 7 installation DVD
  3. Your OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard installation DVD
  4. Around 30GB of empty hard drive space on your Mac. You can probably get away allocating less than 30GB to Windows 7, but it will leave very little room to install anything in Windows.
  5. An hour if all goes well, up to 5 hours if not
  6. Though not absolutely required, it’s a VERY good idea to have a complete and up to date Time Machine backup of OS X – it really came in handy for me. Because part of the process involves partitioning your drive, there’s always the distinct chance something will go wrong and everything will be wiped out.
  7. Patience, possibly a great deal of it. Having a book handy will also help kill time during the partitioning, installing etc).

Cara Nonton Video Youtube Tanpa Buffering

Gunakan Browser Yang Tepat

Untuk hasil yang maximum, saya sarankan pakai Portable Firefox yang masih perawan yang dikhususkan untuk nonton video-video saja. Karena justru firefox portable yang perawanlah yang memberikan speed tercepat dibandingkan browser-browser lainnya. Download Portable Firefox di sini.

SpeedBit Video Accelerator

Karena SpeedBit dijamin lebih cepat dibandingkan program ByWifi dan sudah saya buktikan. Kita ngebut saja, langsung Download SpeedBit Video Accelerator di sini.
Kalo pake Windows Seven atau yang bermasalah setelah menginstal, remove dulu yang lama kemudian install yang versi beta. Download SpeedBit Video Accelerator Beta Version di sini.
Nanti di masa depan, kalau mau menghilangkan kotak gede speedbit (tanda dia sedang buffering), caranya klik kanan di kanan bawah icon speedbit, pencet setting, lalu jangan centangin “show now accelerating message”.

Windows 7 on a Mac : my Boot Camp survival guide

Summary: Apple’s Boot Camp software is essential to running Windows on a Mac. But after many installations and much research, I’ve concluded that Boot Camp is second only to iTunes in its ability to inflict pain on Windows users. Here are five gotchas to avoid.

I have a Mac and a PC side by side on my desktop. In a multi-platform world, being able to switch back and forth between the two platforms is a crucial part of what I do.

For some comparisons, I find it useful to run Windows directly, without the interference of a virtualization layer. For that, the only alternative is to run Apple’s Boot Camp software.

After multiple Windows installations on Apple hardware and much research (including a thorough reading of the Boot Camp Installation and Setup Guide [PDF] and hours on Apple’s Boot Camp Installation and Storage forum), I’ve concluded that Boot Camp is second only to iTunes in its ability to inflict pain on Windows users. It has some unexpected limitations, and setup is more complex than it needs to be. (Why, it’s almost as if Apple is trying to make this process difficult.)

SEO, Paid Search, and Scalability - The Myths and Realities

I recently attended a SEM seminar where the speaker, a SEO consultant, tried to show how scalable SEO is. Then he compared it with paid search, which, he said, was not scalable. As a PPC consultant, I found this irritating. Not only was he wrong but he was also peddling the standard myths about the relative ROI's of these two SEM strategies.

What Is Scalability?

In case you're not sure, I'll explain scalability. This means that over time the gap between sales and costs widens so that your business or products become more profitable.
