LaCie USB 3.0 driver for Macs

Posted in LaCie by Conner Flynn on November 4th, 2010

LaCie has released a new Mac USB 3.0 driver. No Mac ships with a USB 3.0-ready port by default, so the driver can only support accessories on a Mac Pro equipped a LaCie PCI Express adapter, or a MacBook Pro with the company’s ExpressCard/34 adapter. Either way, Mac OS X 10.5 is required.

The company is claiming that it delivers speeds of up to 130MBps for single hard drives, and 220MBps for dual hard drives. Several models are compatible, including the Minimus, as well as USB 3.0 versions of the 2big, d2, Rugged and Rikiki.

Swap shafts with the Callaway I-MIX Golf tool

Swap shafts with the Callaway I-MIX Golf tool
I’m no Golfer, but this thing looks like it would come in very handy. The Callaway I-MIX system basically allows you to swap out different shafts and clubheads, letting you mix and match parts for your golf club so that you can more perfectly match the conditions of the course that you are playing.

You can begin with either a FT-5 or FT-I clubhead. After that you can choose from over 70 shafts from seven manufacturers. It’s up to you to make the perfect club. Included tool secures the shaft to the clubhead and supposedly you can do it in under 30 seconds. (If you’re the impatient type) You only have yourself to blame if your game sucks. You created the club.
