The Tech Bulletin team has decided that it is best if we branch off from TechnoBuffalo and create our own website. We thank you for all the support you have given us in our few months here and hope you come back to read our new blog, http://www.itsalltech.com
Once again, this will be our final post here. We hope to see you on the other side!
Thank You,

Recently Microsoft released a small tool to be able to create a bootable Windows 7 USB drive to install Windows 7. For all of you with netbooks out there, you probably know installing software is difficult because there are no CD/DVD drives in netbooks. Microsoft has got you covered if you want to install Windows 7 on your netbook. Note: You need a USB flash drive with a minimum of 4 GB of free space.
One feature that Apple “bragged” about in their newest operating system, Snow Leopard, is its ability to run 64-bit apps, kernel and extensions. Well, by default, if the app can, it runs in 64-bit mode. On the other hand, Snow Leopard boots into 32-bit kernel and extensions by default on every Mac OS X computer, except for Xserve, Apple’s Mac OS X based server. Here are three ways to boot Mac OS X Snow Leopard into 64-bit kernel and extensions. Please note that not all Mac computers support 64-bit. Here is a list of Macs that currently can boot into 64-bit mode:
Spotlight is a great way to search your Mac’s entire hard drive for files and applications that you want to open. But, in Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard, Spotlight has been notoriously slow. Try this quick tip (if you have a Boot Camp partition) to speed up Spotlight.
In this video, I show you what is in my Mac OS X dock. These are the applications that I use everyday. Please comment, rate and subscribe. Thank You.

I recently came across an application called Growl and it caught my eye. Basically, it is a system wide notification system for your Mac or PC. In simpler terms, when something happens on your system, Growl is notified and then it notifies you. For example, you receive a new email. Growl will notify you in a small pop-up that fades in and then out automatically. Growl is very customizable, even the design of the pop-up can be changed to your liking. Be sure to check out Growl for your computer, and you will wonder how you lived without it.

In this tutorial, we show you how to display the “Show Desktop” icon in the Windows 7 task bar. This was a useful feature in Windows XP and Vista, but has since changed to the Aero Peek/Show Desktop on the bottom right hand corner of the screen. For people familiar with XP and Vista, this can be a difficult thing to get used to on Windows 7.
In this tutorial, we show you how to create a wireless network connection from your Mac that your iPhone or iPod touch can connect to.
In this tutorial, we show you how to manually add menu bar extras in Mac OS X.
One great thing about having a Mac is that you can run both Mac OS X and Windows. In an earlier tutorial, http://cuthut.com/DVZ, we show you how to accomplish this. However, Windows OS’ ship in two versions, 32-bit and 64-bit mode. When going to install drivers after installing Windows using Boot Camp, most users will notice that they will get an error message, “Boot Camp x64 is not supported on this computer model”. I myself ran into this issue when installing Windows 7 x64 on my Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook. Here is an easy solution on how to solve this issue (Works for Windows XP, Vista and 7).
