This post is proof that Mac users read PC magazine too.
I could not resist to share with you a good laugh I had while reading First Word by Lance Ulanoff titled Macs are PCs in October issue. Lance criticized Apple’s add where computers running MS Windows are called PCs and Macs are called, well Macs. What else?
I agree with Lance that by the definition both fall in the category of Personal Computers. However, if there would be an add with Ford and Ferrari, would you object to it if one says “Hi I’m a car.” and the other one “And I’m Ferrari.”?

Through the acquision of Trango VMWare is bringing virtualization to mobile phones. With its memory footprint of 20kbytes, built-in security and real-time hypervisor, Mobile Virtualization Platform (MVP) is opening new possibilities for cross-platform application development. Remains to be seen how this is going to be welcomed by operators and device manufacturers who have their own vision of the mobile market. And end-users? Who asks end-users?

After 5 very active months on the north pole of Mars, Phoenix Nasa’s lander ended its mission marking a history as the first Earthborne device to taste the water on Mars. With approaching martian winther more frequent dust storms covered lander’s solar panels with red dust weakening the machine more and more every day. Who knows, maybe like a mythical firebird with the same name, Phoenix will wake up one day? Or an exciting new discovery might show from massive amount of data that Phoenix sent to Earth, like the newborn firebird that rises from ashes.
