Run Windows Programs and Application on Mac OS X without Dual Boot Boot Camp or Virtual PC Machine

Friday, September 29th, 2006

If you’re using an Apple Mac, iMac or MacBook that runs on Mac OS X operating system, you will be unable to run majority of software programs and applications that are written only for Microsoft Windows operating system. What if you still need to run some Windows applications or games that are not available for Mac OS X platform? Apple does provide Mac users with a few choices. Mac users can download and install Apple Boot Camp where Windows and Mac OS X coexist and the Mac machine becomes dual boot. Other options are Microsoft Virtual PC that creates a virtual machine (VM) emulating a Pentium-based Windows machine and Parallels Desktop for Mac. Both install Windows as guest operating system in a logical partition of Mac OS X, and runs Windows alongside with Mac OS X by emulation or virtualization.

Mac Spyware Prediction Wrong

Friday, September 29th, 2006

18 months ago, Symantec, makers of the popular program suite Norton Utilities, had a scary prediction for Mac users. Symantec claimed that the Mac OS was “increasingly becoming a target for the malicious activity that is more commonly associated with Microsoft.” That’s quite an ominous prediction from a company that claims to be the “global leader in information security” on their website.

A lot of people look to companies like Symantec for information and guidance and I’m sure many Mac users purchased Symantec anti spyware and virus protection software based on this prediction.

So during the last 18 months how much “malicious activity” was targeted towards the Mac OS? Ummm…… basically none. This week Symantec admitted that their prediction last year about increasing Mac-targeted spyware was just plain wrong. Oops.

Is Google God of Googlism?

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

Is Google a God? It seems like a group of Googlists (believer in Googlism) appear to agree that Google is a God. They concludes that “Deities are typically described by their unique attributes, such as being all-knowing, all-seeing, ever present, the ability to answer prayers, immortal, remembering all, and of course Deities must “do no evil”. Google exhibits all of these characteristics perfectly. In the absence of imaginary, supernatural beings, Google is certainly the closest thing humankind has to a true God, as classically defined.”
