Biggest ever, huh?
This doesn’t sound like a republican to me…
Virtual PC for OS X
I noticed this story at MacNN.com about the new version of Virtual PC shipping soon after the launch of MacOS X. This is wonderful news… think about it… now I can run;
UNIX apps (apache, samba, emacs, etc)
LINUX apps (ports of X window environments KDE and GNOME are sure to follow)
Classic MacOS Apps (PhotoShop, GoLive, etc)
Carbon Apps (iTunes, all new apps, etc)
Cocoa/NeXT/OpenStep Apps (OmniWeb, Mail, WebObjects, Project Builder, etc.)
Win32 Apps through Virtual PC
and theoretically you could run BeOS Apps as well through Virtual PC.
….drool…. and all of this on a Ti PowerBook G4 on Airport sitting in the park across the street from home working remotely… ahhh.. it will happen soon.
iCube
I have nowhere else to vent this so here goes…
All you Mac heads bitching and whining about a 17″ iMac go buy a fucking $1299 cube and a $150 17″ VGA Monitor and voila… there ya go… and its even under the $1499 you would pay for an iMac SE (which obviously would be the price point of a 17″ iMac if it ever existed).
Remember the whole “monitorless imac” rumors??? I mean, what the fuck did those people think an unexpandable monitorless iMac was supposed to look like… a round bubbly thing …??? NO, its the CUBE DAMNIT!!!
Grrr… now, go buy it!
The font is still too small…
It seems that MapQuest has been redesigned… it’s nicer than before, that’s for fucking sure… although the font size is still a tad too small for Mac IE.
The new iMacs are.. uhm… Interesting.
Hey. Did you know there was Macworld Tokyo like yesterday? And did you know that there’s some rather interesting new iMacs out? They’re faster and feature CDR capabilities. I might have to get one… if my PowerBook G4 ever arrives, that is.
TouringThisSummerHead
Radiohead is the best band ever. I’ve said that before, and I’ll say it again. They’re touring North America this summer following a release of yet another (!) album. I simply cannot wait. I really really hope they come to Denver, and if not, I’m flying out to Santa Cruz to see them in San Francisco. I hope 808 has the couch ready. (link via SVN)
Pat Yourself On The Back, You Evil Empire
Looks like Radiohead won’t be showing up to the Grammys this year. They call it a ‘spectacle’. I have to agree. It seems that there is a ton of music that goes unrecognized in the Grammy-nomination circle that is so much better than what actually gets nominated. The whole thing is like one big advertisement for songs and albums everyone already knows about, even if they’d rather not.
Bass player Colin Greenwood added: “It should be done in private, like masturbation, really, shouldn’t it? It really shouldn’t be done in public. They’re the only two industries that jerk off in public.”
Pretension and envy for sale
So in a move of shameless self promotion, I’m mentioning here that Deeperhue is officially under redesign. So far, it’s just a splash page, but check it out if you’re interested in what the new look is. Not terribly ground-breaking or anything, but nice, I feel.
Breaking The Silence
This is a rather brief, but interesting article on another of Rudy Giuliani’s narrowminded crusades for the citizens of New York. Remember, its not how you live your life, its how you tell other people to live theirs.
