Parallels Coherence Makes PC Apps Even More Usable

Every now and then we come across a PC game that looks like fun or issues with a Firefox theme on the PC and I have no way of testing them really well. Yes, we have a PC, however, I haven’t fixed it yet. It’s in need of a power supply and I’m a bit un-motivated to fix it. Playing around with Paralles latest version this weekend, the new feature Coherence is amazing.

Coherence makes Windows apps appear as a normal application on your Mac desktop. It removes the window constraints and desktop of XP and everything becomes independent.

Mac User Installs XP

I’ve just finished installing Windows XP Home (Service Pack 2) and it was quite the process. I’m so happy to be a Mac user. :)

It started off just trying to figure out how to boot off the CD. Mac OS install CDs say right on them, to startup off the CD hold down the C key. However, with Windows, all they said was go to the START menu and go from there. The problem? The PC couldn’t get to the OS, which was why I was re-installing it.

Blog Design Modifications

I’ve been making some blog design modifications and I’d love to hear your feedback.

Updates include:

  • New Chat/Comment bubble to the right of the post title.
  • New Info bar under the post title including digg, del.icio.us and other social bookmarks
  • Homepage has shortened posts.
  • Live blog search on every page.

I have checked in most browsers and it appears to be working fine.  Some oddities in IE but then again I haven’t seen my blog on XP.  Blog on a Stick is optimized for browsers that work with the web standards.  That’s pretty much everything except IE. ;)

Apple Supports Windows XP on Macs

It’s true. Apple is saying it’s OK to boot into XP on Intel based Macs. They are even giving away software to make it easier to do!

Check out Boot Camp and see how Apple is supporting Windows on Macs.

Next thing you know, they’ll be building the technology to run windows applications in MacOSX. I’m sure it’s possible now, but will Apple do it?
