I’m beginning to think that some other writers on the Mac beat are reading my mind.
About two weeks ago, one of my consulting clients was asking if there was any way that she’d be able to upgrade to Snow Leopard and still be able to run two legacy applications in Classic, one of which was HyperCard. Being the forward-looking guy I am, I suggested that we just move the data from her old HyperCard stack over to Bento (simple), and then see if we could find a replacement for the other application into which her employees could re-enter the old data.
Yesterday I was looking at posts over on the venerable Mac website TidBITS, and blogger/author Matt Neuburg had written a post about SheepShaver. This oddly-named application is a PowerPC Mac emulator, one of several that are available for both Mac and Windows. Neuburg does a good job of explaining the process of getting a ROM image, then using a Mac OS 9 installer CD to get SheepShaver up and running.
Matt pointed out a website, E-Maculation, that is dedicated to Mac emulators and how to get them up and running. While my client loved the solution I was able to provide to her, running Classic under Snow Leopard might be a better (and more fun!) solution for other Mac users. If you’re up to the challenge and fun of setting up SheepShaver on a Snow Leopard Mac, be sure to take a look at both Matt’s post and the E-Maculation website.
In the meantime, I’m going to go put my aluminum foil hat to make sure that Matt stops reading my mind.

While Appleinsider predicted the arrival of a new dual-drive, optical-free Mac mini, Apple managed keep secret its plans to introduce a new Mac mini server bundle up to its relatively subtle launch this week. Now the company faces the task of publicizing its availability as it works to enter a market it hasn’t excelled at in the past.

The day is Thursday, October 22nd. You’re in Scottsdale, Arizona, and you walk into a brand new store being opened by a multinational corporation that produces technology products, including popular operating systems for computers and mobile phones, music/media players, and ‘cloud’ email and storage services for consumers.
As you walk into the store, employees in brightly-colored t-shirts cheer and applaud. The store is spacious, with large wooden tables placed far enough apart that the opening-day crowd, standing on a hardwood floor, isn’t packed into the place. At the back of the store is an “Answer Bar,” where you can ask questions about the operating system on your computer.
No, Apple didn’t open a new Apple Store in Scottsdale on the 22nd. Instead, this was the opening of the first Microsoft Store. As expected, the stores draw heavily on the highly successful Apple Store concept; the stores are opening near Apple Stores, the former real estate chief for Apple (George Blankenship) was hired to consult on location and placement of the stores, and Microsoft has even attempted to hire away Apple Store managers to run their retail outlets.
The personal shoppers are a blatant rip-off of Apple’s Concierge concept, and Personal Training is an echo of Apple’s One-to-One training. The Microsoft Store website has similarities to the pages for individual Apple Stores, down to a scrolling list of in-store classes and events (the list for the Scottsdale store is empty at this time).
It’s fascinating to see that Microsoft has decided to copycat the Apple Store concept, but it remains to be seen if the execution will be as successful for Microsoft as it has been for Apple.

Fast Company is reporting that there is a Kindle reader application coming for the Mac. At the Windows 7 launch this week, Microsoft said there is a Windows version of the e-reader on the way, prompting a promise from Amazon that a Mac version was coming as well.
Amazon hasn’t released sales figures for the hardware-based Kindle reader, but under pressure from Sony and the new Barnes and Noble ‘nook,’ Amazon is working hard to increase the share of Kindle users. That means not restricting e-book reading to an Amazon device, but opening up the software to run on more platforms.
Kindle already has a clever e-book reader for the iPhone and iPod touch, and it allows standalone use, or synchronization with a Kindle so you can stop reading on one device and then pick up on the same page on the other.
There’s no estimated shipping date for the Mac Kindle software, and we can’t forget that if Apple delivers a tablet computer it could put Amazon into direct competition with Apple.
This is bound to be fun to watch.

The wait for a new carrier for the iPhone in the UK appears to be nearly over. The Times Online out of the UK says Orange will add Apple’s thrice-super phone to its stable on November 10, one day after O2’s exclusivity for the device ends.
Orange announced in late September that it would be carrying the iPhone, though it only said then that it would have the phone later in the year. At least 200,000 people may want to circle the date on their calendars, since at least that many have reportedly pre-registered to buy the phone on the new carrier, despite not knowing how much the phone will cost nor how much the monthly plans will run them.
November 10 may be a bittersweet day for Vodafone. While it has announced its own deal to sell the iPhone in the UK starting in 2010, pent up demand from people who want the device but don’t want O2 as a carrier may be lost to the new Orange option. Vodafone reports interim results on November 10, though it’ll likely face as many questions about the phone it doesn’t yet have as it will about its own numbers.
O2 will still carry the iPhone, though it’s also got its mind on the Palm Pre, which it began offering as a UK-exclusive last week.

Wanna blow up the Death Star? There’s an app for that! At least there should be soon.
StarWars.com has word of the upcoming iPhone and iPod Touch game “Star Wars: Trench Run,” letting players do the cool stuff Luke Skywalker did in Episode IV (minus the whining), namely: blow up the Death Star.
StarWars.com has word of the upcoming iPhone and iPod Touch game “Star Wars: Trench Run,” letting players do the cool stuff Luke Skywalker did in Episode IV (minus the whining), namely: blow up the Death Star.
Developers say “Trench Run” uses simple motion controls, relying on a player’s command of the iPhone’s accelerometer to avoid walls, other ships, gun turrets, and inexplicable solid beams laid across the trench (video). Manage all of that and they can take their shot at the Death Star’s exhaust port and send the Empire reeling. Why did they never cover that port, anyway (YouTube)? If blowing up a space station the size of a small moon isn’t a player’s cup of tea, they can engage in dogfights with TIE fighters over the Death Star instead.
The game’s pitch promises music, sound effects, and clips from the movie for immersive gameplay, varying degrees of difficulty (from Easy to Jedi), and Leader Boards to let pilots see how they rank with other would-be Jedi from around the world.
As exciting as blowing up the Death Star may be, the game screams for in-app purchases. Can pilots buy “Battle of Hoth” expansions down the road? And fly against the second Death Star? Can we?!? I mean… can they?!? Please?
Until then, “Star Wars: Trench Run” has a price set of $4.99. No word on when the game will hit the App Store but it needs to happen soon. The Death Star must be stopped!
