More on Parallels 4.0

software,mac,parallels,iphone I have continued to play with Parallels 4.0 and for the most part I’m liking it. I’ve been a Parallels fan since I bought my MacBook Pro a year and a half ago.

Great iPhone 2.0 Review

iphone 2.0 Terry White has published his iPhone 3G/2.0 review on his blog. Like most of his reviews, this one is detailed and he lets you know the updside and downside. I must admit he was a bit more… polite… about the whole mess Friday morning than most of what I was reading on the [...]
