This torrent should work with either Virtual box or VMWare. To use with Virtual Box click import and select the .ovf file.
When the login screen comes up, login with your Gmail username and password and your Gmail inbox will automatically open. There is a start icon in the upper right which will give you access to the applications. I was a bit disappointed, but I could see where Chrome OS would come in handy.
Best Blue-tooth headset I’ve ever used. Comfortable, Range and sound are good, battery lasts quite a while. My favorite part about the HBH-608 is that the ear piece doesn’t have to go in your ear. It kinda sits outside your ear. You can find them on Amazon for under $20. A very good deal if you ask me. I highly recommend these over the Plantronics or Motorola’s.
I’ve been a long user and supporter of VMWare , however there are just too many problems and glitches. I delt with them because it was a good program, but then I discovered Virtual box.
Things I didn’t like about VMWare Server.
The process to install, and get a serial for the program was lengthy.
The download was huge and took forever.
Version 1.0 had issues with vista and would cause it to crash. VMWare Server Crashes Vista
Version 2.0 was weird and not user friendly.
With virtual box I didn’t have any of those problems.
The download was quick and easy, no vista issues and very user friendly. Forgot to mention Virtual Box is FreeWare!
A list of the places I shop to get the best deals on my geek gear.
MonoPrice.Com – The best place for cables. Cat5, HDMI, VGA.
RecoupIT.com – Really good for Used desktops, LCD monitors and TV’s. I bought a refurbished TV from here saving about $300 and It came in perfectly brand new condition. I’ve also made recommendations for others to by desktops from here, cheapest I’ve found.
TigerDirect.com – While the prices may be slightly higher than NewEgg, they do offer local shops in some areas which is nice, and the pricing is usually competitive. I haven’t liked them since they turned all of there stores into CompUSA, They’ve changed policies and are becoming more and more like a Best Buy every day. I still shop there.
NewEgg.com – Free shipping on a ton of products, and usually very competitive prices. Great customer service and a ton of reviews.
There are a lot of great programs out there for automatically backing up your sever. I was looking for the following features in a server backup program.
-Image Backups, So I could restore the entire Server quickly.
-Automatic, and reliable
-Could backup multiple PC’s and not just the computer it was installed on.
-Could backup my entire network
-Easy to use
In the end I found Macrium Reflect which had all these features for around $40. Other software I looked at was complicated, and had a price tag of over $1000. Macrium Reflect was clearly the winner and I’ve been using it for over a year now.
Are your Iphone or Ipod touch applications closing when you try and open them? Well here is how to fix that.
The really easy way to fix this is to go to the app store and download an update or a free application and install it. After the program installs all of your programs should work normally.
PCWorld Reports that AV-Test.Org has put Microsoft’s New Anti Virus to the test.
Microsoft Security Essentials Detected 98.44 percent of viruses out of 545,034. However it wasn’t that great at detecting Spyware and Ad-ware only detecting 90.95 percent. In my opinion not many AV programs are. Two programs I recommend for spyware and adware are Spyware Doctor Starter Edition, and Malware Bytes Anti Malware, Both are Free and Deathly effective.
Overall, Microsoft Security Essentials did better than I expected, However I’m not ready to switch from my current AV which is Avira Free Edition. However If you are a corporation or small business it could be very cost effective since most AV Free editions cannot be used for businesses.

How to stop VMWare Server from crashing/Freezing Vista.
If you install VMWare Server 1.09 or below your computer will freeze up when you start your virtual machine. To fix that first go to
Host—Host Settings—Fit all host memory into reserved host ram.
The second thing you want to do is make sure your virtual machine has a low spec of memory, so I you have 2GB of ram, and vista is using 1GB, then use 512MB for you virtual machine.
Vista doesn’t play well with VMWare Server1.09 and below, to resolve that you could always upgrade to VMWare Server 2 and above. Although I have noticed VMWare Server 2 is wierd and difficult to use compare to version 1.
Another option is that you can run VMWare Server on XP. It runs much better and smoother. I wonder if this issue will be fixed in Windows 7
