To be honest I don't *want* to take all my passwords with me on my phone. Compared to my MP sitting on a desk at home and a phone which can get easily nicked im quite happy not having it like that :p

Obviously it would be optional like everything else.

Do the decision makers at Apple only have logins for 5 sites or are they same-password-used-all-over-the-place numpties?
 
You can sync it via MobileMe, but it's hardly streamlined.

There's also the small thing of having to buy the service in the first place.
 
radioshift, last.fm, skitch, vlc, iworks, unrarx

there the mains one on my MBP that are everyday i also have aperture 3 and cs4 photoshop extended on both my MBP and imac both bought through work :D

Download Perian + Flip4Mac.

They'll allow Quicktime to play almost any file format.

Thanks for that. Just removed VLC and put the CODECs on and its a much more elegant solution :) I like the style of Quicktime X.
 
What the best software to dual boot/virtualise Windows? New to Mac and so far Im bored of browsing - dno what to do :p

Is there a thread here thats up-to-date on programs to use for certain requirements and of their cost? Not installed one thing yet and guessing a bare Mac is the same as a bare Windows machine...

TIA

Bootcamp is built in, it's free and all you need is a Windows install disc to get going. It runs Windows natively (no emulation) so you can run 3D games.

VMware Fusion and Parallels are emulators, so you don't have to reboot in to Windows (they run fullscreen or windowed) but the 3D performance is lacking and you have to buy them.
 
Thread resurrected!

Just wanted to mention Better Touch Tool
It's free, and the most useful functions are: assigning multi-touch gestures, and also the Windows 7-esque window snapping. Perfect.
 
Nice one Doohickey, that's really useful.

I can't seem to get Mail to snap though. Anyone else got it working?

*Edit* Uninstalled 'Better Touch' because I don't need gestures and downloaded Better Snap Tool and now it works fine with Mail.
