pandora and parallels

July 24, 2006

http://www.pandora.com.  very cool internet radio site that pick music for you based on selections and the music genome project.

i did the trial license of parallels, liked it a lot, p-carded a license.  i like parallels so far mainly for the tools that you can install on the virtual os.  on the windows vm this means a mouse driver thing that lets you move the mouse in and out of the vm instead of ctrl+alt to switch.  the speed of the vm is also bearable.  parallels is my favorite so far except that you have to buy it, and also one feature that would make a world of difference: desktop switching.  if i could run a full screen parallels and still switch desktops i would be set.
