02 Parallels, Fusion and Virtual Box
About.com has tried to answer a question I get frequently.
'Which virtual machine is better for running Windows on the Mac.'
Actually most people only know about Parallels and Fusion,
so they don't ask about VirtualBox.

05 Stuffit Cloud
In an article called 'StuffIt enters the cloud', Brian Lawler
first talks about the history of Stuffit. Stuffit was originally
written by Raymond Law, a high school student
from New York City in 1987.

06 Apple Mac mini pips some very PC PC
Apple's Mac mini has shot to the top of sust-it energy
efficiency charts for computers. Having been slated by
Greenpeace in 2006, when they launched their 'Green my
Apple Campaign' Apple has responded by making their
products more recyclable, removing toxic materials and
now proving that they can make fast and energy
efficiency computers too.

can possibly find out how far they can go."
