Be careful with that promising “Synchronize with Google” new option

Hold on, this can be tricky if you use Google’s Jabber service (aka Google Talk) and don’t want to corrupt your Google Talk buddy list and complete address book in one single step.

Apparently, both lists are linked very closely in Google, so the first sync can be disappointing (and more than just that).

If you aren’t an address book freak, you are already on the safe side (not my case).

Update: Mac OS X Hints has published a hint on this theme.

Sweet. You will need the 10.5.3 update.

Mac OS X running on the OQO

Now this is the smallest device running full Mac OS X.

Some time ago I was seriously considering to buy an OQO, but the small Windows device didn’t fit well into my Unix-centric (and now Mac OS X centric) workflow.

The bad news are this is still a hackintosh (Remember Osx86 Project?), so any software update could turn it useless.
