Welcome back to Memory Protection! This month we go back to the Mac... to the future. That's right, the time vortex has us again and we find ourselves in the distant future, the year 2005. We discuss Apple's chip transitions, the 2005 switch from PowerPC to Intel, and how that compares to the 2020 Intel to Apple Silicon announcement. We can't escape Star Wars: Episode One Racer, and oh, BTW, we're a MSFT podcast now... === Hot Cocoa The Redmond Minute: Windows FireWire Support Gets Big Boost From Mac Company eCommerce Solution Heading Toward Completion Iconfactory Releases its 100th icon set (for OSX) iMate: Use Your Existing ADB Peripherals With USB Macs iMac Sales are down?

Here’s a little-known (and undocumented) keyboard shortcut: after activating Dashboard (the default shortcut on most computers is F12), just press Command-equal sign (=) to bring up the Widget bar. Press the combo again to make the bar vanish.
