I am just trying VirtualBox. I don't want to pay for Windows just to try virtualbox. btw the app is awesome. It's not like I am going to use Linux! Ughh...
Is VMWare or Parallels the same?

My rating for the app is 4/5, works quite breezy but Safari starts to run slow.

 

[SunnyChahal]

Parallels is better.
BTW guys how is Speed Download 5 compared to iGetter?I just dumped iGetter for Speed Download.

 

[goobimama]

I just use Leech. Serves the purpose with a clean interface.

 

[cooldudie3]

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.

Um....
I'm only trying VirtualBox.... Is that ok?

system is taking such a long time to boot! Rating dropped to 3/5

My prediction was right, Linux sucks and it always will.... Sorry Linux fans!

Does leech resume the downloads ?? It didn't resume my downloads ( resumable ). Otherwise its fine.

Didn't try Speed download but I am using iGetter and its really great but its got one problem. You cannot add multiple download links to iGetter in one go, which is very very bad. But we get help from sites like www.linkrr.com where we can paste multiple links and it generates clickable links which queue directly in iGetter or any other DM.
Leech, however is beauty, just select the multiple links and drag them to Leech!! Awesome!!
What about Speed Download does it allow adding of multiple links in one go ??

 

[SunnyChahal]

Speed Download is just fine!It's got everything that you need only if you are willing to shell out some greenry

 

[aryayush]

It’s just $20. Totally worth it, I say.

What about Speed Download does it allow adding of multiple links in one go ??

It’s the best download manager for the Mac, bar none. Leech seems far too basic for my needs, although I haven’t actually tried it yet.

tuesday 30th septembr... expect some new product launch from apple?

 

[aryayush]

Not really. Even if they do announce something, without an event, it will just be regular speed bumps for Macs.

 

[cooldudie3]

When are the aluminum macbooks going to come? Also the newly designed macbook pros?
They are so addicting!

 

[jamesbond007]

Earlier I've warned users here that VLC 0.9.2 is buggy and crashes like hell now thats history with VLC 0.9.3 bringing back all the pride and glory back to this wonderful multimedia player.

 

[cooldudie3]

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

Steve Jobs really can help me.... I need to speak to him.

Can anyone help me delete a partition (BOOTCAMP) that is empty and merge it into the Main drive. It seems so un-mac-ish to have partitions.

 

[preshit.net]

Run BootCamp assistant again. It'll have the option. I did that a couple of days back.

Is it possible to use two internet connections like one ethernet with LAN cable and other with USB wireless at the same time. I see both shows connected in network pref but it defaults to the top one. Many sites are blocked on company ethernet so I would like to use two separate browsers using different connections. Is it possible at all?

 

[SunnyChahal]

Why do I see multiple covers for the same album in the coverflow view in iTunes?

Please avoid fanboyism and reply honestly.Didn't start a new thread coz anti-Apple boys would surely come in and spoil the party with their iPhone-murdabad slogans.

Lastly,how do I keep in sync the iTunes library on both the iMacs?Both are running Leapard,file sharing is on.

 

[jamesbond007]

@dinesh72
What two internet connections on 1 computer ?? Are you crazy ??

@Sunny1211993
Select all the tracks of a particular album and press cmd + i, drag the album cover in the Artwork box in the info tab now move to the options tab and check 'part of compilation' and select it to yes.

@cooldudie3
I have the same problem of merging a partition although I didn't create the partition for Bootcamp. The second partition I have is of 12GB and I created it to keep Leopard image on it so that I can boot from this image incase my Mac gets in to some trouble. As it turns out, I've never seen any problem with Mac OS or MacBook and I have given up hope

Now, DiskUtility, a very powerful too has loads of features but I didn't find anything with Merging of two partitions. Right now my second partition has some important files so I am not thinking of merging it with the main partition. I read somewhere that DiskStudio can merge partitions on Mac. I didn't try it as I don't need it now but you can mess around with it and report back disk disaster misadventure

 

[goobimama]

^^ Am on it! Leopard does have support for non-destructive partition editing, so its there somewhere. I think you have to boot from the Leopard DVD or something. Anyway, I'll see if I can do some research to that end.

CoolDudie's problem is a simple one as the partition was created using BootCamp. Just have to restore it.

I loved the HTC Touch Diamond a long time ago. The camera was better, it had WM, and so on. But after testing it I was shocked. The touchscreen is so unresponsive and and the system was slow. The music player wasn't as cool as the iPhone one. So I think, iPhone is better. Anyways, the userface is easier to use. Honest to God. Though there could be other phones in consideration.

Fixed the empty partition! Didn't realize it was so easy!

 

[yash]

Did you look into the nokia 'tube'? I forget the model number right now.. and did anyone see the new leaked macbook pro ad?

 

[goobimama]

I have a strange feeling that leaked ad is the real deal. Looks nice though.
