Apple. © Wired 2008What a friggin’ cryptic error message, Apple. Your website on the WWAN Support Update page states all I need is OS X 10.4.8 and an Intel-based Macintosh Portable. Well, I sort of meet those criteria. Granted, I’ve got OS X 10.4.11, and I think the Intel-based Macbook Pro I have meets that Macintosh abstract inconsistent naming convention. So why oh why can’t I install you, my pretty WWAN Support? All I want to do is connect my Sprint Sanyo Katana DLX via Bluetooth (hell, I’ll even do it via USB if I must) to gain access to all the EVDO goodness I’m paying for. I even am paying for the PAM (Phone As Modem) plan with Sprint to make this work. I thought you were supposed to make things easy, Apple?

» Best Online Sudoku I'm addicted to Miniclip's Sudoku. It's Flash, and the best interface I've found yet. Then if I get stuck, I use Sudoku Solver by Andrew Stewart. Mmmm, Sudoku.   No comments |
