“For the majority of our products, writing directly to the Macintosh operating system is an advantage to the customers and you will see us continue to do so and not work through Boot Camp or the Windows emulator because we think that will not be good for the majority of our customers,” he said.

MS Virtual Server is now free (Wow! Direct link, no blog spam!)
Q: So does this mean Virtual PC is dead?
A: Nope. VPC is still under development.
Q: You guys are just doing this in response to VMware / Xen / etc… – right?
A: Not really. Virtualization is standard in the next wave of MS servers, so there’s no point charging for it. -
Gamefly Sucks, Time to give Gamerang a Try
Ok,
After about 6 months using Gamefly, they cancelled my account. Claiming they could no longer service my zip code securely.
This is bullshit, pure and simple. 2 games sent to me were lost, ironically those 2 games are in demand, new releases. They never got to my post office, nor my mailbox. My guess is it is an inside job at Gamefly. Just too much of a coincidence in my book. They never got into the mail stream, they were never shipped.
Now, I can’t prove it, but clearly it is suspicious…
The good news is that Gamefly doesn’t hold the end user liable for the lost games. The bad news is I can’t even buy the games I have out right now, I have to send them back. Even worse is I loose my discounts with them.
Bottom line is they loose my business and Gamerang gets it. Gamerang has a local distribution center in Minnesota, so hopefully the games will get here securely and quickly??? Who knows.
Good riddance Gamefly, you sucked the whole time I subscribed, I was just hopeing things would get worked out, instead my patience was rewarded with my account being cancelled.

The Next Digital Press
Introducing the IndiNexGen 4 Digital Press. Incorporating toner and ink in one full color plus up to 12 spot colors, including white, metallics and flouresents. The IndiNexGen 4 is capable of speeds in excess of 20,000 sheets per hour and can run any substrate from 10 lb bond to 24 point board stock. It’s maximum sheet size is unlimited due to a unique rollfeed and sheet feed dual head system which can stitch paper seamlessly together prior to entering the marking area. Finishing options are fully enabled in offline and online modes.
The IndiNexGen 4 is environmentally friendly with no waste as it is a completely closed loop system, recycling all byproduct back into the print process to produce the richest blacks and browns not available on other digital print devices. It does require a dedicated operator to run but is completely computer controlled with artifical intelligence to determine beyond spectrophotometry, what a color is supposed to look like. Instead of profiling the press, the IndiNexGen 4 is capable of profiling individual customers and apply those settings to each output.
It can take variable data from all sources, VIPP, VDX, PPML, HP SNAP, PDF, PS and any other language invented due to its universal “Babelfish” variable data package. Mainaintence is a snap using completely operator replacable units, including replacing the operator. It is powered by SPiDocuFierNexStaHarle DFE / RIP which can process any digital file and separate the ink from toner output plates and produce up to 16 color channels within seconds of the spooled file hitting the RIP.
Pricing has yet to be determined but the product will ship sometime in Q4 of some year, certain to block almost all other sales and overnight gain market share in the 80-90% range. Price per finished page will be less then all other devices today due to a unique pricing model in which the owner of the IndiNexGen 4 can buy all their clicks up front for up to 5 years and never pay another penny in support.
Manufacturing of the IndiNexGen 4 will happen on all 7 continents and due to its lightweight composite alloy material construction, can easily be shipped, overnight, to any customer.
