Windows 7 x64 installation on MacBook
Installed Windows 7 Ultimate N today on a MacBook from 2007 (the white one).
2 problems:
1. Booting from a "normal" Windows 7 DVD would just give me a message saying "Select CD-ROM Boot Type". The solution to this can be found here.
2. Installing the Bootcamp drivers for Windows from a Snow Leopard DVD wouldn't work, it would always tell me that it can't run under x64. Bullcrap. It can run. Here or here is how.

NZZ travel tips
The NZZ is currently running a "summer blog", pointing out nice locations to spend a vacation (or a day-trip) in Switzerland.
I liked these:
- Warum in die Ferne schweifen?
- Zu Besuch an Frankensteins Geburtsort
- Geruhsamkeit am Val Di Campo
- Piratenburg und Gladiatorenrede
- Lost in the deep forest
- Nonchalanter Barock

Adventure / Puzzle games on the Nintendo DS
A couple of days ago I was browsing through video game articles/reviews (specifically for the Nintendo DS) and read something about the "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney" game-series. I had often heard and read of them, but they never really caught my attention. But since many people seemed to love them, I looked up the reviews and what I read actually convinced me to give it a try. I opted for the newest one, "Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney" (22 $ shipped from Amazon).
I kept reading and browsing, one thing lead to another and I ended up finding out about a whole bunch of adventure/puzzle games for the DS from the last couple of years I had not paid much attention to. It seems like there are quite a lot of hidden gems on that system.
I checked out the "Professor Layton"-series next and I ended up getting the latest installment, "Professor Layton and the Unwound Future". (15 $ from Best Buy, using 15 $ in rewards-coupons. Best part: the cashier had trouble at check-out and ended up giving me back 10 $ in rewards for the hassle. :)
Now defunct video game developer "Cing" has a bunch of interesting games as well. I bought their second DS game, "Hotel Dusk: Room 215", a loooong time ago (must have been one of the first games I got for the DS).
Their first game was "Another Code" (titled "Trace Memory" in the US, got it for 27 $ shipped from eBay) and they later made a sequel to "Hotel Dusk" called "Last Window: The Secret of Cape West" (16 $ shipped from eBay). This one only came out in Japan and Europe because Cing went bankrupt and closed their doors before they could release it in the US.
Other games I got:
999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (28 $ shipped from Amazon)
Secret Files: Tunguska (15 $ shipped from Amazon) This is a port of a PC game, but it looks alright and I thought the price was okay.
These look like I might like them as well:
Ghost Trick
Time Hollow
A lot of these are a bit older and not all stores carry them.
What initially turned me off with these games is the graphics, they seemed to be aimed at a younger audience. But from what I read, this is a false impression for many of them.
