Microsoft allows more Vista virtualization {Download Squad}
Jan 22nd 2008 3:15AM So, does this mean you can change the RAM back and forth in the VM and not have it deactivate? Or run two hardware profiles so that you can boot Vista in Bootcamp, /and/ a VM?
Because that's all that matters, really.
iTunes HD rentals: price discrimination against men {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jan 16th 2008 2:36AM When you go to the cinema, and pay for the premier screens, you get a bigger screen, nicer chairs and all, but you don't go complaining to the projectionist that your film didn't come with more pixels! The point here is that HD has failed because people have already payed the HD tax on the equipment, they then should have access to those extra pixels at no extra cost, because it's not a different "version" of the film, it's not a different cut - it's simply the data that matches their equipment.
The industry is treating HD as something that is more vaulable because it has more pixels, which is entirely the wrong way of looking at it. Customers want bigger screen sizes, and are happy to pay for that, but they don't care about more pixels, because most either can't see the difference, or don't have their equipment and cables configured correctly to even display HD. They think HD, means "big-screen".

Why don't you pay for software? {Download Squad}
May 22nd 2007 11:29AM On Windows, I hated shareware with a passion. I would go out of my way to avoid having to pay for anything. Software was something to be hoarded. Things could not be more polar on the Mac. Mac software is often of such high quality, and with great attention to detail, that you _want_ to pay for it. With no spyware, nor viruses on the Mac either, you are not in a constant state of paranoia about what you are installing onto your machine.
The Content isn't Just Gonna Create Itself People {Download Squad}
May 22nd 2007 3:39AM This is a very stupid post by someone who has not taken any time to find the content in YouTube. The rips are that which get the most attention, as does in anywhere on the Internet in any community - but there is tons, /tons/ of original content produced by talented young people and you are tarring them with same brush as the rippers - pathetic. Look up Geriatric1927, at one time the No.1 most subscribed to user of all time (now about 9th) - that shows you that real content does shine through.

SanDisk intros 2.5-inch 32GB SSD hard drive {Engadget}
Mar 13th 2007 2:01PM Erhm, OSX already boots in 30 seconds on a normal laptop hard disk. In fact, even my old G4 iMac boots in 35 seconds to a completely ready desktop. I'd rather buy an OS upgrade that actually speeds up the computer, than throw more (expensive) hardware at the problem of Microsoft's sloppy programming.
