VirtualBox3 vs. Parallels5
The Parallels Desktop virtualization is great, and the update from 4 to 5 brings a lot new features. But there is one thing what makes me really angry: the price!
Pricing
In my humble opinion the price for this update is very much to much. Some months ago, I just bought the update from 3 to 4. [...]
Rebel EFI – OS X in danger of good reputation?
Psystar has released a product called Rebel EFI, allowing the installation of any operating system on almost any PC hardware. This software could be cutely used, to run the Apple’s OS X on a PC.
Apple of course does not want this and sued several times against Psystar, because it is permitted and listed in the software agreement [...]
Chrome settles down on Internet Explorer
Google made with the help of Webkit technology a nice browser called Chrome which brings the power of Apple’s Safari. I really do like it and prefer using it instead of Firefox – especially when I am forced to use the Windows operating system. Big G brought many good ideas and concepts into that application.

Windows95 running on iPhone
The iPhone is one of the most powerful handheld devices available on the market. Enthusiastic developers from GoodiPhone.com made it real to create a complete Windows emulator.
Windows95 and even WindowsXP can be running on a iPhone!
As owner of an Apple device I have of course no real intention in using it, but “yes, we can“! [...]

SanDisk U3 Cruzer
My dad made me a very nice gift. It is the SanDisk USB-memory stick U3 Cruzer with a capacity of 16 GB. I was testing it on his PC laptop and it worked fine and damn fast.
A very nice feature is the slider, where you can pull the USB-connector inside the stick, so that you [...]
Uncrashing a PC by diagnostics
Unfortunately I could not say NO when a friend asked me to take a look why his PC crashes with a hung and sometimes a blank screen. When something like this happens, for sure it is a hardware problem. To reach the ground of the problem I can advise you to follow my steps to [...]
Perl 5.8+ on Windows with mySQL
On the last weekend I was helping a friend getting perl on his computer running. He also needed a mySQL Server. He is using Windows, so we hoped it should become easy, because precompiled versions are almost always available for the Win32 platform.
With the help of my favourite remote application LogMeIn.com I connected to [...]
Force FileZilla not to annoy file changes
Cyberduck normally is the FTP client of my choice, but I had to work on a server where uploading was not possible and directory listing extremely slow. Trying to change the amount of concurrent connections and active or passive modes did not help me out.
To verify it does not depend on my firewall configuration I [...]
Just only Skype
Instant messaging (sometimes just called IM) can be very very useful to swap information in a quick and simple way. I am sure, you know instant messaging already in form of a chat using MSN, ICQ, YIM, AIM, GoogleTalk and many many more protocols and clients.
Yes, I do have an account on almost every important [...]
