VMware Fusion 1.1 released {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Nov 12th 2007 2:39PM Well, 6, there is 'getting round' activation, and that involves being around piracy.
9, XP Pro, if I remember from my forum trawling regarding activation on Parallels, has virtualisation in the EULA, whereas Home doesn't, meaning Pro you can virtualise, and Home you can't (although "can't" because it doesn't say you "can"). Now Vista I think may be adverse to virtualisation in the EULA, or maybe it's into it; can't remember.
7, you can't "activate twice", windows is tied to one computer generally.
And 16, probably the best solution for someone having trouble with the activation on Boot Camp not appearing to have been noticed whatsoever by Parallels or Fusion (and vice-versa) is that you have to look at the two profiles. If what Windows sees as the computer when using a virtual machine is sufficiently different to what it sees when it uses Boot Camp, it will think that they are separate machines (Correct logic, if a little flawed). What you want to do is try to get them as close as possible. I think in many cases (including my own) this will be purely to do with the RAM allocation. All that needs to be done is for the Virtual RAM to be at least half the Boot Camp RAM (or rather the computer's ram). So, in my case, all I needed to do was increase my Parallels' (now Fusion) RAM from 768MB to 1024MB).
Anyway, maybe that will help people with their Activation woes.

Aug 9th 2007 11:57AM Just to let you know, if you hadn't already found out, you have the option of an OR boolean search in keywords. You just hold down "shift" when selecting your next keyword. Just try out all the modifier keys when adding a keyword...they've really got the searches down to a tee here :)
Mom-of-the-year calls cops on son who opened "PlayStation GameBoy" pre-Xmas {Engadget}
Dec 6th 2006 11:08AM Also, although the engadget summary does not say it, at the bbc site (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6213012.stm) it explains that he has ADHD, and the article does not give any indication that he is being medicated for this, which if true, is unfortunate for him. Also, the BBC article quotes her as saying "He's been going through life doing things... and getting away with it", which makes me wonder what the hell her parenting has been like. If you get away with something, you aren't punished. So the blame for lax parenting should really be with her. She shouldn't take a back seat and then ask someone else to get involved (police).
This, obviously, is based on the article being factually true. And considering that the machine is apparently described as a PlayStation GameBoy, it seems less hopeful.

Jul 1st 2006 7:20PM Also, I would just like to add that, as a bonus, I do hope that you can get the elusive and long-awaited enhanced feed up and running when you triumphantly return

Jul 1st 2006 7:17PM Right, ok, this reminds me of what the people are like over at topofthepods when they recently had quite a number of personal issues they needed to get over. I feel I need to tell people that podcasts are things these people put out for us using their own time. Unless I am entirely wrong, I don't think they get paid for the podcasts. We need to understand that podcasts for these people is a sideline and not the focus of their lives. Be grateful for the 50+ podcasts we have got from them so far. Thank You.

May 16th 2006 10:26AM So, are you going to be adding the mp4 feed (+itunes mp4 feed) to the podcasts now you've done E3. I've just been looking back at previous comments, and even months ago people were wanting the feed, from even a year ago i think!
Yours Sincerely... :P
Wowwee reveals next-gen Robosapien, two others {Engadget}
Jan 6th 2006 5:55AM Well, it's not much of a "sneak preview" really. I mean, they have already been shown on The Gadget Show (Five) at least 3 or 4 weeks ago. But they did look good, and they interacted with each other well. Though I like the inventor's aim to increase the size of Robosapien each version...I think he said he was hoping to get a human-sized version by version 4. That will be cool.
