I have a number of questions about the Google Navigation app... Has it been developed yet? If not, when will it be finished? Has it been submitted to Apple for approval? Will it have to wait for an iPhone OS update (since Google Maps is part of the iPhone OS package)? All I've heard so far is that Google wants to bring it to the iPhone, but basically I have no idea of the timeframe we are talking about...
Well, Parallels 5 runs a lot faster than Fusion 3 on my Mac, and Coherence seems to work a lot better than Unity does (no weird artifacts, etc...) Aero also runs plenty fast - I think in this round, Parallels will get my money.
I want to like Fusion as it cheaper than Parallels and made here in the good old USA, but the latest Parallels beta is way, way, way faster than Fusion on my Mac (I get a 4.4 experience rating on Windows 7!), and their coherence mode works a lot better than Unity. I am going to wait until Paralells has their latest release out and then upgrade to one or the other... but I think Parallels will win.
I have an Airport Extreme, and was able to watch Live TV from my home earlier this morning (I only tried it as a test). I didn't have to open any ports at home and have my station setup to NAT to the internet. I suspect I have NAT-PMP enabled, but can't verify it right now as I am not home. Since I didn't have to open any ports, it pretty much has to be NAT-PMP opening them up.

Fairly painless for me - the only setup I did was sign up for the EyeTV connection service so that they keep track of my home public IP. I am actually impressed with how easy it was.
I have a 3G phone and my Exchange 2007 connection still works in 3.1... I always used the SSL option in my account. Seems to me that upgrading to the 3GS is not the only option...
My first one was the 10.0 beta... boy was that thing slow! This is probably the first OS that has gotten faster in every release.
I don't see anybody complaining about having to reinstall all the applications - isn't that the biggest hassle about the Clean Install? Having to find all the installers for all the apps I use and having to deal with Microsoft Activation if my license is not taken by the installer? A backup is all well and good, but in the past all that does is get me my data back - I still had to reinstall everything.
IMHO, the glossy screen makes colors pop more and makes the dark portions of the picture closer to black. And I love the black border - I want the "frame" for my picture to make the picture stand out, not contrast with it as the silver border did. To each it's own, I guess.
Finally I can go somewhere and look at a PC with Windows on it!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
