^^^ Why did you waste your time by typing 'yup', I said 'Go Ahead', I'll try to watch your recommended movie within this week!! I am waiting...

 

[goobimama]

Guys. Read the title of this thread. Its "Official discussion for apple stuff". Not movie recommendation. T is the devil and will try and deviate from the topic. Don't get tricked by his… trickery.

In other news, I've done an extensive review of Pixelmator on SA. I gotta say, the software is really neat.

You mean "The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Inc."
I bought Office 2008 for Mac! It's awesome and I love Entourage!

 

[goobimama]

Sheee! iWork not good enough (or better)?

 

[cooldudie3]

I got a discount. 50% off, my university...
Though I really wish iWork had a discount.

 

[goobimama]

Bhai it costs $80 for the full thing. What discount you need?

 

[jamesbond007]

@Cooldudie

Are you serious ?? You really want a discount on iWork ??

 

[cooldudie3]

I have always used Microsoft Office and I am sort of used to it. iWork is ok, but some cool stuff can't get into the Windows system.
Is it possible to install Linux on a mac? Or should I use VirtualBox to open it?
Update: Running VirtualBox right now, installing Fedora Core Linux, hope it is successful.

 

[iMav]

Please don't do a native install of Linux. Please. Seriously, I mean c'mon man!

 

[cooldudie3]

I am using VirtualBox
But I am totally stuck at the partition part. It's really annoying. Should I choose DiskDruid or Automatic Partition? I m afraid if I make one wrong move the whole computer will be dead.

 

[aryayush]

You want to install Linux on a Mac? Seriously? Should we be worried about your health, man? I know some pretty good doctors.

 

[jamesbond007]

@Cooldudie
Automatic partitioning can be hazardous, always use manual partitioning with DiskDruid.
Now tell me why on earth do you need to install linux on Mac, is there a specific need ??

 

[krazzy]

Linux on Mac! LOL! What is this world coming to?

 

[goobimama]

I hereby invoke the green power. No one will talk about installing Linux on the mac. Doing so will get you banned.*

*I might not even be kidding.

 

[iMav]

You need to.

 

[SunnyChahal]

Installed XP on one of the Macs.I want to access OS X partition from Windows and Windows partition from OS X.
Please suggest some good app free or paid.

 

[goobimama]

Windows partition is already accesible in OS X. If it is NTFS, you will need MacFuse+NTFS3-g (free) or Paragon NTFS ($40).

For windows, nothing beats MacDrive.

 

[yash]

I haven't been able to successfully write to ntfs even after using macfuse and paragon. what might be the problem?

 

[goobimama]

You. Sir. You. For some reason you are not meant to have and enjoy Apple products. Paragon NTFS has never failed me (well, in its early beta stages it was a bit buggy). The latest version has good performance as well as can write large files.
