More RAM for Macbook (+pro) owners

November 07, 2008

Today Mac World came with some happy news that Other World Computing (OWC) has succeeded in making 6 GB RAM modules for Macbook and Macbook Pro. The RAM will be delivered as a 4GB and a 2GB module. Mac World describes that the modules are working on all Intel chips of the new “Penryn” model and the old “Santa Rosa” model, but that’s not completely true. As far as I know the chips has been called “Santa Rosa” since the first Mac Book Pro models but it’s only models from june and in some cases november of 2007 that are supported according to OCW. On Macbook it’s only models of “late 2007″ that are supported. The cost for the 6 GBs is $480 + shipping (3800 SEK+ shipping according to today’s rates). Right now they have a mail in rebate if you send back your old RAM.

The Vidiots installation at Nordic Light Hotel

November 06, 2008

Yesterday was the premier of Nordic Lights Hotel’s new bar called Light Factory that is fore most going to be used for events and special parties. For this premier the Vidiots had made a video installation where they projected on four modules in shapes inspired by ice blocks built in white cardboard. The movies showing different light effects were mapped and masked to fit the angular structure of the modules. The installation was only displayed for two days which is shame on this beautiful work. But there has already been talk of showing this installation again.
