One more reason to buy a Mac


After Apple released a program called Boot Camp, which allowed anyone with an Intel based Mac to install Windows, but to use Windows one had to restart every time. Shortly thereafter a program called Parallels sort of did the same thing, but better yet, it allowed the same Intel based Macs to install Windows (any flavor including 3.1), MS-DOS, Linux, or OS/2 and you do not have to re-boot. Kind of like what Virtual PC tried to do back in the day, but a whole lot better. My buddy Matt showed it up and running first and it looked great, then some other friends needed to use IE (feel sorry for them) and they were thinking about buying a cheap PC laptop, so I suggested we try this out. I downloaded the free 15 day trial on my MacBook and installed a version of Windows XP Home that I had to test it out. It was a fairly simple install, and there I was using XP in a browser, or with a click of a simple keystroke, I could go full screen. Like the quote on the box says, it's kind of like having two computers, the best of both worlds. So, if you are looking to get a new computer, I highly recommend a Mac and then if you really need a Windows machine, look no further than Parallels Desktop for Mac.

Apple MacBook Pro - Core 2 Duo



Apple today updated both the 15 and 17 inch MacBook Pro with Intel's latest Core 2 Duo processors. The 15 inch starts at $1999 with a 2.16 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB HD and the 17 inch has a 2.33 GHz processor, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB HD and both can be upgraded, of course, with a 200 GB HD and up to 3 GB of RAM. Now it is only a matter of time before the MacBook gets the same processor upgrade.

Jeremy - Impressive. Most impressive. It is your destiny to buy one of these, now release your anger, only hatred can destroy your Dell.

South Park Season 10


The wait is over for one of the best shows on TV, South Park continues its second half of the 10th season with the first episode diving head first into the World of Warcraft. Do you remember the Leroy Jenkins video from last year, well, that is the game the show is dogging on and they did a fine job making fun of the people who play this game. Make sure you check it out this week.
