Why? Well the problem seemed easy enough to fix, I had removed iTunes since my phone is synced with my Dell XPS, and had no need for it on my small 16gb hackintosh ssd. So I just simply reinstalled the latest version of itunes, and bam my phone showed up as an ethernet device, allowing me to tether from my phone to my computer over USB (I haven’t tested Bluetooth yet, as I don’t have bluetooth on my computer). The tethering worked perfectly. I am curious now as to why so many other people have had trouble tethering with a mac, most people said the solution was to install the iPhone 3.0 SDK which I also removed to save space.

Why OS X on Mini 9?

Well this seems like a simple enough question to ask, I enjoy technology and have always wanted a mac, which if you have ever looked will break most peoples bank! That being said, I also own an iPhone and have been dying to make my own apps for it. The problem? You can only develop apps on a Mac computer. Solution? Cheap netbook running Mac OS X. So I am working on some apps for the iPhone, and if I decide they are app store worthy I may sign up for the developer program.

Installation

I am not going to go into to detail about how to install OS X on the Dell simply because I am tired of reading about it, and there are tons of posts and directions all over the web. Just google for the dell mini 9 os x install and you will find guides by gizmodo, engadget, uneasy-silence, etc. Now the Mac OS runs great on the mini 9 and seems to have increased my battery life by about an hour.

This post may help to show my nerdy side, I love fitness and I love technology. I plan on adding more tech-oriented posts as the site grows, check back for more fitness information!
