Re: Parallels Desktop 5 vs. VMware Fusion 3

No, I did not receive a review copy from Parallels. I am a full paying customer of both companies. My review is ethical, true. I feel parallels is the better of the two products.

Yes, you can watch full movies. In fact, it is better than the iPhone when it comes to this. No need to format a movie to a specific type, because you can download players for all major file formats in the Market Place. As for how clear it looks, the screen is double the resolution of the iPhone. If found it to be super clear and crisp. Better than any mobile device I have experienced.

Re: iTunes App Store vs. Android Market

To your first question, no you don't have to download all apps via the Android Market. I just read an article about an Adult Only Apps Store on the Android. haha As for updating, it is handled sort of the same as the iPhone. You just get notifications when updates are available. As for syncing the phone to a PC, no, in fact, there is no Android software on the computer, it is all handled directly on the handset.

Yeah, I hear everyone complain about AT&T, but I have not had any problems with them. I prefer them over others by a large margin. I need to be able to multi task while on a call.

Well, Google is one of those companies that wants to give everything away. I am not sure if it will come to the iPhone, because it seems like Google and Apple are slowly parting ways. Apple rejecting the GV app jacked everything up in that relationship.

Does the delayed shut down only happen when you have Parallels running, or does it happen all the time after you installed Parallels?

Thanks Michele!

I don't really take volume into consideration, for one main reason: Yes, the iTunes App Store has 100,000+ apps, but 998,000 of them are total crap. The Android Market is up to 12,000+ apps, and growing very very quickly.

Thanks Adrian, defiantly go try it on. That is what I did, I actually took all my gear to The Northface store, packed it all in, and walked around with the bag for a while to make sure I would like it.

Thanks for sharing. I am very happy with Parallels also!

ATLChris — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:39:42 -0000

So far I am liking the phone. I will be doing a couple of different post where I will be comparing the iPhone to the Droid, the OS X Mobile to Google Android, iTunes App Store to the Android Market Place, and off course a full review of the product.

Stay tuned!

I found that if I lowered my RAM to 1.5GB instead of 2, I got better performance on both the Mac and Windows side. You should try that.

Oh, that surprises me. Strange! Well it might not be supported, try it and let me know.

I can't confirm this as I do not use Firewire, but I would be very surprised if they didn't. Try the free trial, it is fully functional.

Re: First Look: Netflix “Watch Instantly” on the Playstation 3

ATLChris — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:04:06 -0000

No it is not, the disk is free, you just have to request it. I like the PS3 version over some other versions because you can browse the entire library, not just what is on your instant query.

If you just stick with it, I think you will find the way Windows 7 does it to be pretty good. You just have to get past your set ways.

you should close commenting on this thread and move everyone over to the page you have setup, so we are all in a central location.

Thanks for the tip on Live Strong's Daily Plate, I am so addicted. I am spending so much time researching healthy foods, and I have started to track my calorie consumption.

Thanks for the tip, I will have to try this.

I replaced lose it with this app, because it has restaurant specific info. I would say it very much worth the $3.00.

Everyone with an iPhone should check out the "Nutrition Menu" this app allows you to collect nutrition data from a massive list of restaurants and grocery store foods. It cost $2.99 but is well worth it. This app will let you gather all kinds of nutrition information from all the places you eat.

Great post, as I was saying in the other thread, my weakness is eating healthy. I can't seem to make myself cook on a regular basis, so I am looking for super easy healthy meals. The other post suggested kraftfoods.com which is a pretty great site with cooking videos.

What are some of your favorite easy/healthy meals?

Thanks, that Stuffed Chicken you linked to looks good. I will have to try that. Thanks for the tip on Kraftfoods.com that is a very informative site.

I have tried to get into those Lean Cuisine meals, but I find them nasty tasting. For lunch, I will normally stick to a sandwich and some baked chips. Dinner is where I struggle. I am not much of a cooker, so I need tips on super easy healthy meals that stay in the 400 - 600 calorie range.

OK, I did my weigh in this morning. I am at 220lb even. My goal is 25 pounds. Started my morning with a light yogurt and a Gatorade G2, instead of the usual bagel and coffee w/ sugar and milk. Sorry no video, I just didn't feel like busting out the flip this morning.

I would love to get some discussion going on how people are changing their routine to meet their goal weights. i.e. food changes, exercises, ...
