Ride with words

How about riding in the history and seeing how culture has changed.
A recent talk, what we learnt from 5 million books at TED  shows  how culture changed in time.

Good thing is you can see it yourself too using Google n-gram viewer
Here watch how Google rises and Microsoft falls yourself!

Hackintosh Lion on Lenovo z570

I had at last been successfull installing hackintosh Lion on my Lenovo z570. Tried Mountain Lion 10.8 with no success, I installed Os X Lion 10.7.2 (iAtkos L2).

For days struggling with boot options, finally found that i had to add PciRoot=1 , default boot uses PciRoot=0.

During boot menu hit any key, then add this

-v PciRoot=1

In simple terms, PciRoot Flag tells chameleon bootloader which PCIE slot your graphics card is located in, default value is 0 but on many systems first PCIE slot is actually PCIE-1, thus PciRoot=1.

After installation audio did not work, I used VoodooHDA kext, and deleted AppleHda.kext from System/Library/Extensions.

For full Intel HD3000 acceleration, deleted any graphics related kexts (ATI*, NVIDIA*,), used UMA only in bios, also be sure to use SMbios (mac book 8.1) .

After installation updated to 10.7.4 , during update system did not reboot and Finder gave problems.But after reboot everything was fine.

Now I have to repair my Windows and Ubuntu installations on same disk...
