MacIntel in a VMWare Session
I don’t know why I’m so fascinated by MacIntel haX0rz, but I am. It’s just so nice to know that one day soon I’ll be able to wipe my drive clean of all my tainted XP installations and run sweet, beautiful Aqua all day long. It’s like a computer user’s paradise where Einstein and Gandhi … Continued

Sharp Chips in iPod Video (?)
This is just iPod day, isn’t it. Arstechnica is saying—and this is all rumors and lies—that the iPod Video will contain Sharp’s Sharp LH7A400 system-on-chip to drive the LCD and playback. That means you’ve got some flash card support, a little ARM processor action, and MPEG4, MP3, and JPEG decoding. That’s nice, isn’t it? The … Continued

New Apple iBooks and Minis- Ehhh
I was kind of dreading writing about these new iBooks. It’s not like they are any great shakes.

Apple Had Best Hurry Up With That Video
Word around the iPod-fire is that Apple is planning video downloads and a video iPod in September of this year. They’d best get their ducks in a row right quick. There are a number of other little thingies coming into the horizon, including NetFlix’s (NetFlix’?) video-on-demand solution. Obviously, movie studios are really worried about their … Continued
