    New Intel graphics drivers?

    Could new Intel Graphics drivers be on the way? There's an intel blog post about the new drivers that have been released on Windows XP. To cut the long story short, this driver enables the hardware vertex processors on the integrated Intel chip, something that apparently has been disabled until...

    What and how do you virtualize?

    VirtualBox with Windows XP on it and Ubuntu Linux. Yes yes, I can partition my drive to install these natively with Bootcamp but then I'm too lazy :) p.s. This is my 2nd VB post in a few minutes. I don't work for them. Honest!

    'cross over'

    I'd say save your time and look elsewhere. Crossover is a pretty poor solution, and many applications just do not run correctly under crossover. You can pick up a very cheap copy of windows XP these days, and you can run Windows XP from within OS X with a program like Parallels or VirtualBox...

    Bootcamp, VM Fusion, Linux, Partitioning, and other tricks

    Bootcamp will only create a Windows partition. This in and off itself isnt a problem. Just create a "Windows" partition that is large enough for both your Windows and Linux installations. Next, you will want to use the installer program that comes with your Linux distro to partition the Windows...

    Top Games for OS X?

    http://www.insidemacgames.com http://www.macgamefiles.com These are sites that are dedicated to Mac gaming. It's no surprise that you don't come across any mention of Mac games on IGN. They're too busy covering Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii news to really bother about the Mac. I find that their PC...

    Fusion joins Bootcamp and Parallels as an option to run PC op sys

    It can't. But that feature is apparently in the works.

    Fusion joins Bootcamp and Parallels as an option to run PC op sys

    You're looking at the Open Source Edition. You can use the closed-source edition for free if it's for personal use and that supports all the features of the commercial enterprise edition.

    Fusion joins Bootcamp and Parallels as an option to run PC op sys

    But but ... why pay for any of those when VirtualBox does most things for free? No shadows though :(

    Mouse clicks with Applescript

    Bumping for the greater good, and also because I've managed to solve my own problem. Here's the solution for posterity's sake. Applescript doesn't have the built-in support for reading/sending mouse-clicks in such a way. To achieve that, a plug-in is required. However, since most of the...

    best bit torrent client for mac?

    Transmission is an awesome application. It's much lighter weight than Azureus and does all that I need it to do. In fact, Azureus seems to slow down my computer when using it and has a much higher network usage. I notice it, because I play networked games when downloading stuff and there is no...

    Mouse clicks with Applescript

    Hello there, Im trying to automate a process with an application. What I'd like to do is to get Applescript to simulate a left/right mouse button click on a certain region of the screen (where a button will be). There's basically a sequence of buttons that needs to be clicked and the application...

    Fedora

    Way to miss the point. Most major criticism of the Gimp lies in its strange interface, not its lack of features. Professionals who rely on Photoshop for work apparently have a hard time adjusting to the Gimp. There have always been credible alternatives for light uses. Pity they don't...

    Ubuntu version

    You need the x86 version, though you can install the x86-64 version if you so choose (I wouldn't since the amount of software is limited).

    Play GTA: Vice City on Mac

    The performance still leaves quite a bit to be desired. This is especially bad, since Bootcamp which is free (though involving more hassle) does a better job if you're serious about playing Windows games on your Mac.

    Piggy back Wi-Fi user faces 5 years in prison

    Dude, seriously. Just give it a rest. You get free access to the internet? After all it is anybody's domain and nobody owns it. Try telling that to your ISP and see how well that flies. Wifi points in cafe's are provided for the customers. Piggy-backing on it is just abusing the goodwill of...

    Piggy back Wi-Fi user faces 5 years in prison

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trespass: You beat wives legally in the US? O.o To be perfectly honest, if an intruder was in your house (not just on your land), you are afforded the right to self-defense.

    Play GTA: Vice City on Mac

    @nixgeek: Except that Cider isn't for endusers. It's a tool for developers to make their code run on Mac OS X. @mario: Save yourself the headache. Crossover is a piece of crap that isn't worth the hard drive space on your mac. Your best option would be Bootcamp since the 3D support in Parallels...

    Piggy back Wi-Fi user faces 5 years in prison

    That's called trespassing, and in some countries you have a right to shoot trespassers.
