XP ON MAC!!!!

XP RUNNING ON A MAC

This is a big deal because Mac has changed over to the new Intel chips which, windows is designed to run on. Now window’s has run on Mac’s before but it was very hard to do and was very slow, jumpy and you really could not load everything on it. Because of the new Intel chip you can run xp full speed and fully operational (minus a couple of drivers that are coming soon).

I know what you are saying, ok bob, big freaking deal, and well this is a big deal. I have wanted to get a Mac for a while, but as I am a pseudo gamer I have not gotten a Mac because I have too many windows based programs that I would not be able to run on the Mac OS. Now I can get the cool looking Mac and have people think that I am a consumer whore on the outside, (which lets face it I am) and be able to have my preciously flawed and monopolized windows running on the inside. It’s like having a porch body and engine but the interior is shag carpeting! But I love it still, check this story out I think it might interest some of you.

Podcasts

I have become obsessed with podcasts. If you do not know what these are then I shall explain. They are radio shows for your Mp3 player. This started about 2 years ago when people just uploaded audio clips to their websites for others to listen to but because of the blogging boom and the entire Itunes following, podcasts have exploded in the past 5 months into mythical proportions.

I listen to about 30 podcasts, in fact I have almost stopped listening to music in general and just started listening to people talk. Now there are several types of podcasts. There are the short 1-10 minute updated daily podcasts these are usually news like CNN, NPR, Rocket boom and Cnet. Then you have your weekly podcasts which very in length from about 20-70 min in length. These are on different subjects such as technology, comedy, and triathlons.

If you have not looked these up and you have an Ipod I highly suggest you check them out on Itunes if you do not have an Ipod if you go to any news sight and search their sight for podcasts you will probably find an mp3 format audio file that is the same thing.

Enjoy
