Well the folks over at VMWare have finally released Fusion.

This new VM allows Intel-based Macs to run x86 operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, NetWare and Solaris, in virtual machines at the same time as Mac OS X. Like Parallels it will allow you to run PC applications on your Intel Mac. I want an Intel Mac more than ever but since I can’t afford one yet, all of the listeners of the podcast will have to write to me or send me a voice mail at 206-203-0313 letting me know how you like Fussion.

Pet President points out that these day no one is safe in the skies.

Folks DIGG.com that bastion of popularity on the net, now has a podcasting section. I have added the Typical Mac User Podcast to the directory and in true Web 2.0 fashion, and high school, my podcast just won’t be considered “hip, cool, slick, valid, important, put in adjective here” unless many many people go to Digg and Digg it.
So yes I need to bow down to the Digg God’s and have you go and DIGG my podcast, less I vanish into podcasting obscurity for not being “Diggable.”

It’s amazing to me that the geeks of the net have gotten to the point where unless you are “Popular” in all the right places, you are “invisible.” Yes very much like high school. Do I still need to comply. Yes, because if I don’t the I will just blend into the masses of podcasting and don’t you know that podcasting was suppose to be about the people not big media not the “haves and have not’s” Well that’s how it was suppose to be. Reality I find; post high school is just not like that, so Digg, Digg, Digg, Digg, Digg. . .

If it’s the holiday’s it must be time for a Friends In Tech holiday production. Please join all of the Friends In Tech gang and some special guest for
Lucky The Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Geeks

Join us in the holiday fun!
