Virtual PC is no longer the only game in town for running Windows or Linux on your Mac. I have written about VMware in previous posts and what we have all been waiting for is about to arrive. VMware has announced a beta for their product on a Mac…. Microsoft has not announced officially (that I am aware of) that they will be porting VPC to the Intel platform and that has a lot of people concerned to say the least. Even we Mac folk need to run Windows from time to time, and now more than ever, we are starting to see more options like Parallels and VMware step up to the table. I for one am excited about this and can’t wait to check out VMware for the Mac. I am really hoping it runs Vista once it ships from Redmond. Don’t miss out on the beta, go sign up ASAP!

Apple shows Intel-native Logic 7.2 at NAMM
[ via Apple Insider ] As part of its exhibition at National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) trade show this week in Aniheim, Calif., Apple Computer could be seen demonstrating a new version of its Logic music composition and production software designed to run natively on the first Intel Macs. The company also said it is ahead of schedule developing the application and plans to release the software as Logic Pro 7.2 next month. According to a report from Macworld, Logic’s performance seemed much faster running on the new Intel Macs than with PowerPC-based machines. “The performance is stunning and has met my already high expectations,” Dr. Gerhard Lengeling, Apple senior director and lead architect audio applications said…. During one demo, Apple’s Bob Hunt was reportedly running video, with thumbnails, music and a dozen or more high-end effects…. Logic Pro 7.2 will also reportedly feature integrated support for the new Apogee Ensemble interface; Digidesign Pro Tools HD 7 DAE support; Serato Pitch ‘n Time support; Improved Rewire support; Enhanced Control Surfaces support; and 32-channel support for multi-channel Audio Units instruments. The application also adds compatibility with GarageBand 3 through new support for playback of compressed files; a Ducking plug-in; a speech enhancement plug-in; and the same jingles and sounds effects found in GarageBand. Owners of Logic 7.1 may upgrade to Logic 7.2 for Intel via a $49 crossgrade upgrade package Apple will begin offering in February.

Today’s Kick Ass OS X App ::: Path Finder 4
The code warriors over at CocoaTech have this little app called Path Finder 4. What an incredible app! This is everything we have all wished for in our best buddy, the Finder. Rather than go through all the features here, just visit their site for the details and reviews from other industry uber geeks. All I can say is that this app is another must have.

Today’s Kick Ass OS X App
Sometimes you just come across a bit of code that is so simple, yet makes all the sense in the world. One thing about using Safari on the Mac is the lack of a way to sort your bookmarks. Let’s say you want to sort them alphabetically, I have yet to figure out a way to do this without manually dragging and dropping each bookmark. When you have 10,000+ links, that gets a bit tedious…. So how about you web-heads like me who use multiple browsers for checking your work for compatibility across browsers…. I like having my bookmarks synchronized across all my browsers…. Another great feature is the Dock and System Menu icon support. I like having the little icon in the menu bar.

Google Earth officially available for Mac OS X
Google Earth officially available for Mac OS X: [ via TUAW ] With all the cool new goodies from Apple distracting us today, we almost missed the fact that Google has officially made Google Earth for Mac OS X available. After the rumor and then the leaked beta, it sure is cool to see an official version. I played with it only briefly this afternoon (I could only pull myself away from the day’s Apple news for so long) and found it very smooth and responsive on my G5 iMac. Check it out. Thanks for the tip, Ben!

AllPeers Is The FireFox “Killer App”
Wow…Apple’s Safari really needs to make up some ground and start incorporating Firefox-like extensions into their browser. Hell, I would just say Apple needs to can Safari all-together and partner with Firefox to combine best efforts and take over the browser market together…. [ via techCrunch ] AllPeers Is The FireFox “Killer App”: I’ve had a chance to talk to AllPeers founders Cedric Maloux and Matthew Gertner…. In my opinon this single firefox extension will massively increase the attractiveness of that already popular browser, drawing more millions away from embattled Internet Explorer…. Initially, interaction with those buddies will be limited to discovering and sharing files – If you choose to, you can share any file on your network with one or more of your friends. They will be able to see what files you choose to share (even getting an RSS feed of new files you include), and with a single click download it to their own hard drive…. When downloading, the file may be grabbed partially or fully from others you have shared it with (or who shared it with you)…. With AllPeers, I can share photos and home movies with my parents, songs (and anything else) with friends, and also access the files that they choose to share.

Google Earth Coming to a Mac Near You
All you Mac fans, sit down and buckle your seat belts. One of the most wanted apps on the Mac is Google Earth and it’s release for the Mac is imminent. As you can see from the screen grab, it is VERY real and VERY slick. This is going to make a HUGE impact on the way we use our computers folks…. For being a beta, it is extremely stable and the graphics are simply unbelievable. This is absolutely smoking fast on my PowerMac G5 Dual 2.5 with the Ultra 6800 video card. I hear the performance is excellent even on a Powerbook, which I haven’t tested as of yet. Make no bones about it, this is one app you will definitely want to grab when it’s released to the public.
We’re Green! Are you?
