Apple Mac stuff
Wouldn't is be really useful to be able to run OS X in a virtual machine in OS X? You could use it to test software without any danger of it messing up your system, you could run OS X 10.4 in 10.5 or vice versa for testing purposes.

I buy Mac magazines to read about the Mac and consider such articles a complete waste of space. I don't want to read about some Mac fanatic going on and on about how bad Vista is, I've got a Mac and I want to read about all the cool Mac kit and discover the great things I can do my my computer.

No doubt you've heard of Parallels Desktop, an application that enables you to run Windows on your Mac. Well, VirtualBox does it too, only it's free. Here's how to download it, install it and run Windows or Linux on your Mac. Is your inbox full of spam?
