&lt;br /&gt;
幾年前當一般 4 port router 還要幾百元一台的時候，小弟和當時幾位同事都買了只售 HK$119 的 FON La fonera 來給自己在公司設置 WiFi AP，主要用途是用來破解當時剛推出的 iPhone 2G。當時要在本港使用 iPhone，需要老遠從捷克訂購 TurboSIM，然後用 WiFi  經 SSH 傳輸一堆檔案讓 TurboSIM 扮成 AT&amp;T 的 SIM card... 這種遠古破解方法我想現時先達那些「 iPhone達人」們有部份可能根本未聽說過! 當年還沒有  AppStore，WiFi AP 的主要用途是用來從 Installer 和後期的 Cydia 下載破解檔。自從 Geohotz 發現 firmware 漏洞之後，軟破解 iPhone 變得越來越容易，幾乎傻既都懂，小弟後來也轉職了一家架設了嚴密防火牆的新公司，La Fonera 變得無用武之地，但棄之又嫌可惜，便給我冷落在房間的一角了。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
在這裡先要淺談一下 FON 的背景: FON 是一家公司，他們賣一個硬體的無線寬頻分享器，取名叫 La Fonera. 每個想要加入的人要先買一個他們出產的 router，在 FON 的社群裡註冊一個帳號，然後在家裡裝上 La Fonera，你便開始向 FON 社群分享了網絡連線。用戶在全世界有 FON Access Point 的地方都可以用自己的帳戶登入 FON 網絡免費上網，好一個網絡大同的概念! 為了確保所有買了La Fonera 的用戶都向其他人分享寬頻，這個當年賣 HK$119 的 AP 只支持 Ethernet to FON WiFi，不能當作普通 WiFi router 或 client 來用，SSID 不能修改，而其他功能也一併給遮蔽掉。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
近期多次有需要在教會一樓用電腦，那裡差勁的 WiFi 接收讓我興起了要給它架設一個 repeater 的念頭，這時我想到塵堆中的FON La Fonera。說 La Fonera是一台封印了的 router 並不為過，其System-On-Chip Atheros AR2315 / AR5006 和 183 MHz 處理器的規格其實不賴，於是坊間便有玩家把 DD-WRT 韌體刷入 La Fonera，讓它解除封印變成一台真正的 router，可提供如 VPN、Bridging、Client mode、AP mode等多項進階功能。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

    <title>Dual-booting Windows 7 and OS X on Aspire One using Boot-Think boot loader</title>

    The following may not be the only way of doing it, but that&#039;s how I got mine working.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Connect your Aspire One or technically any netbook to an external DVD drive, boot with iATKOS V7&lt;br /&gt;
2. Start &quot;Disk Utility&quot;, and split your drive into 2 partitions - first one as Mac Extended with MBR option (this is the one OS X will be installed), second one FAT with MBR option&lt;br /&gt;
3. Install iATKOS V7 onto the first partition using Chameleon V1 bootloader, make sure everything works and OS X boots up fine&lt;br /&gt;
4. Boot with Windows 7 installation DVD, and choose to install onto the second partition. You won&#039;t be able to install on FAT, so format it with NTFS (do not repartition, when you do that Windows 7 creates a hidden third partition that will give you a real hard time)&lt;br /&gt;
5. Install Windows 7, it will restart a few times automatically, at this point you won&#039;t be able to boot OS X&lt;br /&gt;
6. Before you install anything onto Windows 7, activate it with &quot;7 Loader&quot; by Hazar + Orbit30 (version 1.3 worked fine for me, but 1.5 has been released as I wrote this), this enables you to use Windows update on your activated Windows 7, it even lets you install OEM logos of your choice!&lt;br /&gt;
7. Now Windows 7 should be permanently activated, install Boot-Think 2.2.2. Just hit the EXE and it will do the rest&lt;br /&gt;
8. Upon restart you will for the first time see the Windows 7 boot loader, asking whether you wanna boot &quot;Windows 7&quot; or &quot;Boot Think&quot;, just choose &quot;Windows 7&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
9. Once you have boot into Windows 7, move to the &quot;Darwin&quot; folder created on your boot disk by Boot-Think, move to &quot;MBR&quot; folder, and right click to run &quot;SetupMBR.BAT&quot; as administrator, reboot again&lt;br /&gt;
10. Now you should see only the graphical boot menu like this one&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
11. You&#039;re done, enjoy two of the most advanced OSes on your trusty netbook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

    因為預算有限的緣故，家中 Hackintosh 現僅配用 Celeron Dual Core E1400 處理器，其三百多元的便宜售價，和不錯的超頻性能 (原生 2GHz，可穩定跑 3.2GHz) ，實為組裝時的不二之選。3.2GHz 的雙核效能其實已超越市面上任何一款原裝 iMac，但 Celeron Dual Core 被遮蔽了 virtualization support 是它的致命傷 – 不能安裝 Parallels Desktop 4。這樣一來，想在 Hackintosh 上跑幾台 virtual machine 試試新 OS 也不行了，主機的實用性立時打了折扣。&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;!-- s9ymdb:1074 --&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;serendipity_image_center&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;262&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;&quot; src=&quot;http://blog.dermk4vw.com/files/techgadgets/E6500K.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
在今期 PCM 裡看到 Intel 推出內地限定版 Pentium Dual Core E6500K，不僅內建 virtualization support，更是 Intel 近年絕無僅有的無鎖倍頻 CPU，立即讓小弟口水直流! E6500K 採用 45nm Wolfdale 制程，我那老舊的 Gigabyte 956P 主板刷入最新 BIOS 後也能使用，根據內地網友的回應及雜誌評測結果估計，空冷小超至 4.5GHz 以上該不是問題(執筆時已有外地高手用液態氮把它超至 6GHz!)。衡量過其折合八百港元左右的售價、超過 1GHz 的時脈/效能進帳、以及 virtualization support，我決定找舊同事幫忙從內地弄一顆回來!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
這次小升級也正好為 Snow Leopard 的推出作好準備，現正熱切期待中。&lt;br /&gt;

    每次當我提到我這個 G5 hackintosh project 的時候，身邊眾人最關心的是共花了多少錢. 這個當然啦，搞了這麼久，就是因為它夠便宜嘛! 大家最感興趣的 PowerMac G5 機箱年多前購自廣州，有興趣者可到淘寶網找找看，或是用百度找個最鄰近的經銷商，我最近隨便搜尋過好像還有 Mac Pro 的!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
G5 機箱 $800 (已包括由廣州速遞至香港費用)&lt;br /&gt;
Gigabyte 965P-S3 主板 (已停產, 類似型號約售 $400)&lt;br /&gt;
OCZ Gold DDR2-800 2x 2GB $400 &lt;br /&gt;
OCZ Cable Management 400W 火牛 $450&lt;br /&gt;
Intel Celeron Dualcore E1400 $350&lt;br /&gt;
Hitachi 500GB HDD $450&lt;br /&gt;
ASUS SATA DVD-RW $180&lt;br /&gt;
Colamax ATI HD2400 Pro 128MB $180&lt;br /&gt;
Realtek 8139 LAN 卡 $30&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
共約: HK$3,240&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
