I asked because if not I thought I might write one up...
I used to be a PC user however switched to Mac and although I can run BootCamp or use Parallels Desktop I found the Terminal to be quite useful. On the plus side I didn't have to download the drivers for the LG on my Mac and Java was just there. Really all I had to do was download the SDK to my desktop and find the path to ADB....super easy to do.
I also know that you can use "Z4Root" but was wondering if you ever seen the movie Idiocracy? It is kind of nice to do it manually just to get used to the ADB Shell and Commands. If all of us use these "magical" tools nobody will know how to do it for themselves.
I was a little apprehensive using my Mac at first until I started playing around with it...plus if I need to I have Parallels that I can switch too if needed.
Nice. By all means- write up a Mac tutorial!
And props to you on the Idiocracy reference. I use that all the time...
however sadly I'm usually referring to Mac users, since they tend to prefer stuff that "just works" rather than understand how or why as they would be forced to on the PC side of things (much like you pointed out that you "magically" did not need drivers or to install java). The metaphor works both ways!
I'm the opposite of most people- I'm a PC user now, but I grew up with only macs in the house because in the 80s and 90s, they actually were superior in hardware to the competition (RISC, integrated sound, etc). Nowadays, the hardware is mostly the same, which is evident by the Bootcamp/Hackintosh communities- only you pay more for the Apple branding.
The irony is that nowadays, Mac has had a popularity surge from disgruntled PC users (thanks, VISTA!) who just want a hassle-free computing experience. So it went from being the technically superior platform, to actually being the platform of choice for those who don't want to worry about how/why things work (much like the film you mentioned).
I should not have judged you so quickly, so please accept my apologies. I have no animosity towards Apple here, its just that more often than not the Mac users aren't the ones getting their hands dirty in hacks/exploits, etc.
Therefore, there is a lack of tutorials for them, and its hard to explain why that is when they come around asking.
If you've got something to contribute, write it up! I'm sure Ksmith would be open to mentioning/linking it in the first post. Would be great to show some Mac love.
