Well done Gizmodo for a useless article on Vista...
The guys at Gizmodo have got around to testing Vista on a Mac running the latest Parallels beta. Unfortunately they don’t seem to have a clue about what they are doing when it comes to getting it work. Read the full article here:- http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/software/vista-on-intel-mac-with-parellels-not-quite-there-232596.php To correct the article:- 1. Aero won’t work because no-one...

Update on Parallels for Mac OSX RC1
Since Christmas 2006 I’ve been running Parallels betas on my shiny new Macbook Pro (2.33 with 3gig) and ever since I deleted my Vista Boot camp partition I haven’t looked back.I had bought the MBP to run Vista as a boot camp partition and whilst it was impressive and fast and slick etc, the MBP ran VERY hot, and battery life was about an hour and a bit. I also had some issues with sound drivers...
How Apple will kill the iPhone
So the new iPhone is all over the web and there’s plenty of criticism (my own being it can’t be 5 years ahead of it’s time if it’s got 8 gig of RAM, no expansion, a 2 megapixel camera and no 3G!) Anyway, according to this article:- http://www.suntimes.com/technology/ihnatko/215441,CST-FIN-Andy18.article Apple are confirming that 3rd parties won’t be able to...
Macbook Pro, Parallels update
Getting on well with the MBP and running Parallels and Windows XP. I’ve tried Vista under Parallels and still doesn’t feel right. XP seems faster - not sure why yet. Anyway, once new drivers come out I’ll Bootcamp Vista so I have it running natively. In the meantime, the Macbook Pro with 3 gig performs great with the latest Parallels beta and XP. I have Windowblinds running a...
iPhone...nicely confuses the product line
So Apple have finally released the iPhone and completely confused their product line. Certainly looks like a neat device with as alway, innovative features but 5 years ahead of it’s time? Come on. Firstly it’s GSM so no 3G calls, no iChat conferencing and no fast Internet access. Secondly the iPod aspect only has 8gig. Great. What use is that for movies, TV shows and Music? You’d...
Macbook pro on 3gig, Parallels better!
Ordered a 2 gig chip from Crucial last week - not cheap by any means but now I’m running 3gig in my Macbook Pro and “what a difference a gig makes, 24 little 42.67 megs …..” I’m still running the VM on 1.5 gig for XP and I’m finding it snappier and faster than my Vaio running 2gigs and dual processors - crazy. The whole OS runs fast and performance is better...
