Fusion on Sale

Dec/19/2007 23:55 Filed in: Applications | Deals

Recently a report came out showing Parallel's faster than Fusion running Windows XP by 17%, but keep in mind that Fusion can utilize both CPU's while Parallel's only uses one. My guess is that the benchmarks they used don't fully take this into account.

Nonetheless, many of us use and very much like Fusion. And right now (in the USA) you can pick it up on the cheap.

Fusion for only $32.49 after rebates from Buy.com.

Chax now unifies your iChat contact lists

Dec/07/2007 23:38 Filed in: Utilities | Tips & Tricks

The newest release of Chax adds a very cool feature for iChat - now you can use a unified contact list. Instead of separate windows for different services, you can now use a single window.

How nice (Apple, you already did tabs, lets step it up and follow suit.)

Why not a Low End, Inexpensive Mac?

Dec/05/2007 00:14 Filed in: Mac | Commentary

Have you seen how the OSX86 'Hackintosh' crowd have been successfully running Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard on that new super cheap Asus Eee PC?

If I'm not mistaken Asus OEM's the current MacBook's for Apple, so what in the world is holding The Mighty Jobs from introducing something similar to the Asus Eee PC for the Mac Market. Engadget noted that Asus estimates it will sell nearly 4 million of these PC's next year. I don't know about you, but I'll bet Apple could move a boatload of these babies if they were Mac's.

The cheapest Mac available is the Mini, and it needs a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. The Mini itself starts at nearly $600, add in the other goodies and you're easily over $800. I'm not going to argue the merits of Mac vs PC, but it's arguably a tough to sell for somebody who has always had PC's and they can get a complete Dell system with Windows, keyboard, mouse, and monitor for under $500 on sale.

Throw the dog a bone, offer a sub $500 notebook Mac and watch the masses flock to it.
