I have been using VWware Fusion for some time now with mixed results, I have Windows XP installed in BootCamp on my MacBook Pro and it runs like a champ; even running the engineering software I use for work (Pro/Engineer)in boot camp but not really the case running it in VM Ware. The speed of Windows on the mac using BootCamp is that of a fast Windows laptop being as it is simply all the same parts as any other laptop (Dell, HP, or who ever) with Apple Unreal Design, Fit and Finish and outright quality.

Recently Gmail updated my account to include offline email for my Google Mail. I logged in, hit the settings area and turned it on; on my windows machine it gets you to install an application and seems pretty cool, a nice way to type mails while off line (on a plane or where ever) and as soon as you get an internet connection it sends it and everything is sync'd with your WebMail on Google, throw it on multiple computers or what ever you like as long as its not an Apple.. It looks as though Apple is left behind once again.

I have a pretty extensive music collection all ripped directly from CD's I refuse to have downloaded stuff. I recently bought some MP3's from Amazon.com and they are DRM free MP3 files, perfect.. I can put them on any of my computers and ipods.. they play on ANYTHING...

Apple invents the Wheel... Reminds me of when the Apple Zealots were sure that Apple invented the Pentium Processor when they switched to intel processors. This video is well done, I wonder how much the Onion spends on these

We purchased an Apple TV sometime back as a decent way to control and stream my media library. The HP Media Smart Server is used to store and serve the music/video throughout the house, I will say both the Apple TV and the Media server have issues. The server comes with a iTunes server built in but doesn't seem to list all of the music library, so I hacked in and loaded iTunes on the server, it works okay besides it seems as though the server reboots about every two weeks or so and I have to log back in and get itunes running again.

Currently I am in process of setting up a home theater in the lower level of my house; well in the planning stages anyway. I have an idea about using multiple airport express units to be able to have music on the deck, by the hot tub and where ever I want, I currently use an AppleTV in my main room, I will have multiple itunes clients running so I can select different music for different zones; I used to own an Express but sold it, it has issues that it may play for 1 minute or an hour, but hooked up wireless you can count on it stopping at one point or another...

Just a quick post to give a little tip of another mac site that has some good tips and tricks for using your mac.

I read an article on http://gizmodo.com about someone uncrating a new Microsoft Surface Table, I had written about this on www.geekjoust.com about a year ago, so now I see it coming to life, but reading some of the comments makes me sick, why is it that Apple FanBoys have to compair this to a giant iPone, the iPhone is a touch screen, it only knows something is touching the screen and where, the Microsoft Surface uses a whole different technology so it can see what is touching the table, I'm not saying its better or worse technology but it is totally different and way more capable than a simpl

Well you regular visitors may notice a new banner ad at the top from our new sponsor, Gray Kangaroo Liquor Filter, Its one of the most useful products I have seen for turning cheap Vodka into great Vodka, A few years ago I tested and messed with running Vodka through a Britta water filter, the idea is to run the cheap stuff through the filter and take the bad flavor and smell away.

I recently Stumbled onto Stickam, a very slick free online streaming video service, it allows anyone to stream high quality video to as many people as you like without hogging all your bandwidth.
