Australia Day 2012 turn ugly

What a shame... Sigh...

I actually never thought this could be happening in Australia. Hmmm ...

Expressing oneself is good but going to such extreme to scare the shit out of our one and only FEMALE Prime Minister in history is just too much. I reckon the bodyguards were quite extreme too. Dragging her off all the way to the car. I think a good runaway plan should be implemented without having her embarrassing herself this way to the whole wide world. Even CNN is splashing her photos all over the front page!

What a ..... shame.....

What's that all about her shoe anyways???!!!

Everyone has the right to protest. Why such aggressiveness and violence? And the bodyguards need to have a better planning then dragging her that way! What a pity!

Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 Mac

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 01:50:00 +0000

I am thinking to get Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 Mac. Seems like it is compatible for both Windows and Mac.

I have the Apple Magic Touch mouse with me and find it alright with the Macbook. But hard to make use of it for Windows laptop. Plus, not sure why the Magic Touch mouse is a little bit too flat for my palm to like it. My palm feel tired whenever I used it.

I know how the Magic Touch mouse is so magical like a simple touch pad on Macbook. Somehow using a normal mouse is good with a good grip and so on....

What do you think?

VMware Fusion vs Parallels Desktop for Mac

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 20:04:00 +0000

I've bought my first Macbook Pro 3 months ago and am so happy about it. A Macbook Pro 13". Have been spending a lot of time with it trying to understand OSx and how to use a mac. If you must know, the navigations of Mac and Windows PC are totally different in comparison, like a complete opposite of each other, especially the 'X' - close browser button!

I am thinking of booking an appointment with the Apple - One to One session. I see a lot of things to learn!

Anyway, as I've been a windows users like forever, it is so hard to change the skills and learn new things. Hence, I think I've decided to get 'both worlds' in my Mac.

I am thinking to get Parallel for Mac! I was deciding in between Parallel or VMware Fusion. Been doing some research and watching YouTube on how both are tested.

A lot of the result shows Parallel to be the faster software. Both have a lot of functions and act the same way and almost the same price.

I think from the conclusion below from MacTech Labs test result, I will choose Parallel.

Conclusion from MacTech Labs

Both VMware Fusion and Parallels Desktop for Mac are excellent products, and both allow you to run many OSes quite well (including Lion now). In the end, when you decide which product to use, you should take into account what's most important to you.

Windows 7 is such a pleasurable experience that unless there's some driving reason otherwise, you should use it rather than XP under either virtualization product.

When it comes to whether you should use multiple processors or 64-bit virtual machines, it depends on your use. If you have a real need for either, and can articulate a reason for it, than use them. They do work well. That said, if you don't have a specific need, then don't bother with multiple virtual CPUs. As for 64-bit, you should use it (especially in Windows 7) unless you have a driving reason not to.

Many people have the feeling of "more is better," but when it comes to RAM in the virtual machine, that is not necessarily the case. More RAM means longer virtual machine launch times, suspends and resumes. For most users, 1 GB of virtual machine RAM will work best for Windows 7. Use more than that only if you really know you need it. Gaming may do best with 1.25-1.5 GB of RAM if you can spare it.

In the vast majority of overall our tests, Parallels Desktop 7 won. Again, if you count up the general tests (including the top 3D graphics scores), Parallels won 60% of the tests by 10% or more. And, if you include all the tests where Parallels was at least 5% faster, as well as the balance of the 3DMark06 graphics tests, Parallels increased the lead further. In other words, Parallels Desktop 7 beat VMware Fusion 4.0.2 in 74.9% of the general tests we ran, and Parallels was double the speed or more in almost a quarter of the top-level tests.

If you focus exclusively on 3D graphics, as measured by 3DMark06 version 1.2, Parallels won by an even larger margin. Specifically, Parallels won 71% of the tests by 10% or more, and was also a bit faster on an additional 8% more of the tests, and tied on the rest. In other words, Parallels Desktop 7 beat or tied VMware Fusion 4.0.2 in all of the 3D graphics tests we ran.

If you are a traveler, Parallels Desktop has new power management features that stretch your battery life. On the MacBook Pro, we saw about 25% more battery time on an idling virtual machine (81 additional minutes of use) than we did on VMware Fusion in the same test.

To be clear, this article is not a product review; it's a benchmarking analysis. You should use it as part of your decision combined with other factors, such as product features, user interface, which OS you want to run, graphics capabilities and support to make your product choice.

One thing is clear: virtualization for the Mac works well. Really well. And I expect that we'll see virtualization products keep getting better and better.
