Oh! Apple

My experience of using iPod Touch, iPod Classics, Mac OSX, Coding in XCode, or anything generally related to Apple

version control in XCode 4.x

Tried XCode 4.2 and found that while the Subversion support is pretty cool, I still cannot use the svn:// protocol to access the subversion database on my Z Drive.  Instead I have to use file reference by directly point to the network Z Drive.  Well, at least that works.

Need for Speed Shift Setting for MacMini late 2009 edition

I found that Need For Speed was running in a pretty lame performance on my Mac Mini.  Here's my current seting:

  • Resolution : 149
    • Resolution 1280x 768
    • Refresh Rate 60hz
    • Anti Aliasing 2 xAA
    • Allow Windows Yes
    • Allow FullScreen Yes
    • Car Detail, Shadow Detail, Track Detail, Motion Blur, Text Resoliution all set to Medium
After try and try, I found out that if all the setting (Detail, motion blur ...) are set to low, the application will crash in the middle of the game.  Thus I need to set them all to "Medium".  At the end, I found that Resolution 112 (1176 x 664, 60Hz, 0xAA, Full Screen) yields the best result.
