Virtualization with Parallels Desktop Lion 7

First, it will be recalled with Leo, Apple allows users to virtualize its system software provided of course that it is run from a Mac. Previously, the Apple brand store for this possibility to edit "Server" Mac OS X Parallels Desktop is the first virtualization solution to allow it (without having to tinker) but there is no doubt that VMware and Oracle exploit this feature very soon in their respective software. Installing OS X Lion is simple, but slow. Parallels Wizard starts the recovery partition and prompts you to install Mac OS X 10.7 on your virtual machine. The biggest problem with this approach is that it is better not to hurry. The installer must before starting his work to recover the archive to install OS X Leo. It is not without problems for those who have acquired the USB Mac OS X 10.7. Despite a good ADSL connection, the installation process has taken two to three hours. After the installation is completed, the virtual machine restarts. Then, like any virtual machine, you are prompted to install the Parallels Tools. The application mounts a disk image on your desktop. You just have to start the installation as with any software. As with any virtual machine, Parallels allows you to set a range of parameters: amount of memory, graphics acceleration, storage ... As with any Windows virtual machine, you can also exchange files between your Mac and Mac virtualized. In performance, the results are quite honest. Your Mac is more powerful and more RAM you have, the better it will be. It should be noted that the coherence mode that allows you to melt the windows of Windows applications on your Mac can not be activated, but the interest of this feature with Mac OS X is very limited. 2010 on a MacBook Air Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz with 4 GB of RAM, performance is completely honest. As always with virtualization, we feel the limits of this process as soon as you begin to make sustained use of the graphics processor. On the other hand, the fan of the MacBook Air can be heard more than usual. Out of curiosity, we tried to install Snow Leopard in a virtual machine. In this case, the application displays a short message reminding that Apple does not allow the virtualization of this version of Mac OS X. It is not officially unofficially making do, it is always possible. In any case, it is unfortunate for those who depend on it for one reason or another Rosetta. Recall that a demo version of Parallels Desktop 7 [260 MB] functional for 15 days is available for download.

A New Technology Video At Apple?

The Wall Street Journal writes "Apple is working on a new technology to stream video to TVs, and has discussed the opportunity to launch a TV subscription service ". The second part is not new, since at least 2009, we hear from Apple will offer packages of content for television, on a subscription. Thus it would compete with cable and satellite. This has not yet translated into action and Steve Jobs later acknowledged that the proliferation of boxes with their TV services and VOD integrated complicated task for those who wanted to enter this market. Regarding the supposed new technology, the veil of fog is thicker still. Is it for example promotes the integration of the AirPlay TV (but would bypass the Apple TV)? Vague formulation of the WSJ leaves the field open to all interpretations of how Apple wants to bring something new on the transport of these images.

Market Shows Serene Confidence On Apple

We were expecting to see the market reaction to the announcement of the withdrawal of Steve Jobs, they show a relatively serene confidence, since the close of Wall Street, not accusing AAPL a loss of 0.65% lower than the Dow Jones (-1.51%) and NASDAQ (-1.95%). This figure should be put in perspective with the performance of the day, while AAPL was up 5%. The scholarship has noted the change in position of Steve Jobs, would not seem particularly moved, and then displays a relative confidence that Apple continue its momentum after the change of helmsman. The smooth transition will have paid all we could see Tim Cook at work during the sick leave of the founder of Apple. If the Cupertino company would soon make an announcement as we suspect more and more, turning this small market will be gone as long as it is increasing in the coming days.

Launchpad Cleaner

The Launchpad is a new practice of OS X Leo, but can quickly become binding if you have many applications. As of IOS, you cannot just hide an application: to remove the Launchpad, you must remove the hard drive. It makes sense, but it is also inconvenient for some applications that are used rarely, but it does not completely remove either. Launchpad Cleaner can just hide the icons and so empty the Launchpad, without removing applications. This utility displays the current status of Launchpad and can hide an icon with a single click. We can also rename an application, but not moving. Developed by AIR Launchpad Cleaner is fairly heavy and the application exploits certain features of bad Mac OS X such as gestures to trackpad, but it is functional. The author has in mind in particular the preservation and restoration of the status of the Launchpad and we can restore the default version if something goes wrong. Apple also set a keyboard shortcut to change the wallpaper Launchpad. By default, the grid of icons is placed on a fuzzy version of the wallpaper in progress. Using the keyboard shortcut ⌘ + b, we can change this setting: net wallpaper, wallpaper in black and white wallpaper black and white blur. Once changed, the setting is retained by the system and the bottom is always as you selected. We did not find other shortcuts to use in Launchpad, please share your discoveries.
