Google Chrome OS launched and now running on my Mac!
Posted by Cameron in Apple, Internet, Just for Fun, Personal, Technology, Video on November 20th, 2009
Google’s new Chrome operating system was revealed yesterday and won’t officially launched until late next year but as the entire OS has gone “open-source” today it hasn’t taken too long for a very early ‘buggy’ version to be available. It can only be installed in a virtual machine but what the heck, it’s worth playing with for a self-confessed geek!
More info on the Chrome OS launch at this link, more info on the virtual machine download at this link and a screencast video of it running on my machine below. Enjoy the geekfest 
Windows 7 running beautifully on my Mac
Posted by Cameron in Apple, Just for Fun, Technology, Windows on May 21st, 2009
Just installed the release candidate of Windows 7 on my iMac (running OS X 10.5.7) using VMware Fusion. It’s amazing – it runs faultlessly on my Mac but try getting it to run properly on my daughters’ Dell Dimension 1100. Can’t find display drivers for the Intel 865 onboard video so at the moment it is stuck on 640×480 res on a 19″ monitor. Blurgh
