Ahhh… kids…. such bliss. What could be better? Kids and laptops… or rather broken laptops.
One of the kids’ 13.3″ MacBook LCD screen was damage – magically, of course. The screen had two very serious cracks which rendered the device pretty much useless. However, that didn’t stop them from using it anyway.. In any event, this is a quick article to point out a couple of really great resources to perform your own upgrade.

On both my hackintosh and my Dell Mini 9 have had some serious video performance issues with both Hulu and Netflix. I thought it was because of the ktext files I’ve used for the build. However, it nagged me that other owners of the Mini 9 have had no issues with video performance from Hulu and Netflix. After a bit of research I found out that people were using Safari as opposed to my favorite browser Firefox.
I’m a bit embarrassed to admit, but I simply changed my browser to Safari to access those services. No more performance issues.

Here is a quick note on the upgrade process for the Mini 9 to OS X 10.5.7 — It was smooth.

Finally got Netflix streaming to work on my big machine by using this thread on the Boxee forums. After the jump, I’ve duplicated superdug’s steps.

Found a new issue with the Dell Mini 9 Hackintosh that took a little bit of time to fix. If I have a USB drive mounted when the system goes into sleep mode – basically when I close the lid of the machine. When the machine comes back on, I get an error message saying that the USB drive has been removed incorrectly and that there maybe some data corruption.
