PC vendors to use the MacBook's tiny Air Intel chip

965GMS chipset for the Intel processor and smaller

You probably already know that you can go directly to the iPod touch January Upgrade purchase page by following this link. What you might not know is that in order to purchase the iPod touch January upgrade you must be logged into your iTunes account and you must be running iTunes 7.6. You can not make this purchase using earlier versions of the software.
If you ever restore your iPod and need to get back those upgrades, once again you need to use the magic of 7.6 plus be signed into the account with which you purchased it. I found out the hard way that your Mac does not automatically "remember" that you purchased it and that it belongs on your iPod touch.
I was one of the many people affected by the week-long "Error -2" outages at the iTunes store and had bought it with my secondary account. After restoring, my iPod just would not reload the upgrade. I knew I had bought it and I knew it was available in my home folder in Library / iTunes / Mobile Applications. The problem was that I needed to sign into my secondary account (rarely used-except for doing posts like these) and then synchronize while signed in.
A few calls to Apple and a lot of annoyance later, I hope these tips may save you some grief. You can tell if your iPod touch has been "blessed" by checking its Summary tab in iTunes. Next to the Software Version, you should see the magic phrase "(with Software Upgrade)."

Audible's catalog forms the backbone of iTunes' audio book offerings, and there'sa history of Audible offering iTunes-exclusive content. So it came as a surprise to me when Amazon bought Audible for $ 300 million, announced today. I'd imagine that the deal includes provisions for Apple's existing contracts, but I'm curious as to how this will affect future negotiations.

Parallels webcast today launches Virtuozzo server Containers
January 31, 2008
to the parallels' mac product of the flagship, it puts the
table in parallel (that we've contributed in some small
part), there are some other interesting tools in the team
parallel 'parent company, SWsoft - which now is being rebranded
like Parallels, Inc.. just to keep on our tips. One of
those products is containers of parallel Virtuozzo (PVC), which
today launched version 4.0 in a webcast of the event to 11 (eastern).
While PVC is not an assistant Mac-compatible (however),
technology choices that parallels the facts may develop

's parallel to the Mac OS X. The products
virtualization like the table of parallel, the merger of VMware
and the work of Microsoft Virtual Server via a model
hypervisor, virtualizing the hardware platform so that each
virtual machine functions in its own full-OS environment.
This method does a great job of isolating the VMs from hardware
physical background and provides diversity configuration and OS
(assistant OS X Windows, Linux and Mac that finally
operates on the same platform virtualization), but has some
disadvantages: Each virtual machine consumes a full helping of
RAM, disk space and CPU resources while working,
as if it was a physical machine. VMware in particular is
respected for its expertise in optimisation of these
requests of resources with its server products,
enterprise-level ESX, but requirements of the baseline, can not

virtualization of OS, which addresses the problem of breakdown
resources for virtual machines in a different sense.
Virtuozzo VMs, or "of" containers is generated as some overlap

underlying processes, files and libraries of OS are present in

Virtuozzo can handle up loading the VM on fasteners

Despite the publicity around Parallels' Mac flagship product, Parallels Desktop (which we've contributed to in some small part), there are some other interesting tools in the stable of Parallels' parent company, SWsoft - which is now being rebranded as Parallels, Inc.. just to keep us on our toes. One of those products is Parallels Virtuozzo Containers (PVC), which launches today version 4.0 in a webcast event at 11 am (Eastern). While PVC is not a Mac-compatible server (yet), the technology choices made in developing Parallels it may illuminated some future paths for the yet-unreleased Parallels Server product for Mac OS X.
Virtualization products like Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, and Microsoft's Virtual Server work via a hypervisor model, virtualizing the hardware platform so that each virtual machine runs in its own full-OS environment. This approach does a great job of insulating the VMs from the underlying physical hardware and provides for OS and build diversity (Windows, Linux and eventually Mac OS X Server running on the same platform virtualization) but it has some drawbacks: each virtual machine consumes a full helping of RAM, disk space and CPU resources while running, as though it was a physical machine. VMware in particular is respected for its expertise in optimizing resource these demands with its ESX enterprise-level server products, but the baseline requirements for system resources can not be fully alleviated.
PVC does OS virtualization, which tackles the problem of resource allocation for virtual machines in a different way. Virtuozzo VMs, or "containers" are created as overlays on the base OS that runs on the physical servers, like a piece of transparent acetate over an animation backdrop. All the basic OS processes, files and libraries are present in the base server OS instance, and the container holds the differential changes that allow the VMs their individual characteristics and configurations. While you sacrifice one big feature of hypervisor systems, the ability to diversify OSes - since the base OS is fixed as either Windows or Linux, all the containers have to be built on top of that OS - what you gain is substantial, as each additional running VM takes only a small chunk of RAM and a comparatively tiny swath of hard drive space to work in. Virtuozzo servers can handle high VM loading on relatively modest hardware performance without taking major hits, which is a big plus if your server budget is constrained.
In the OS X virtualization session at Macworld Expo, the Parallels folks suggested that we may see both hypervisor and OS virtualization approaches integrated in the Parallels Server product, as the engineering teams from PVC and Server have the opportunity to put their heads together. Parallels has also said that the management tools for PVC and Parallels Server will be integrated as development moves forward. Even though PVC does not support the Mac directly, if you're interested in virtualization you might pop into the webcast and check it out.
