Bye Bye MacBookPro
« Meldware and Flex on WebDevRadio | Main | appointed as an OSI board observer. Also new Program Manager position open. »So after my macbook pro fried (which is also a large part of why I haven't been on), I sent it back to get it repaired. It came back and OS X boots fine but Ubuntu won't boot, even off of a CD (I suspect there is still a hardware problem but doubt they'll fix it 'because Linux won't boot anymore'). In the meantime I got a Toshiba which has all Intel graphics, etc and an atheros card (although I have to use the ndiswrapper until they finish up support for N cards). I'll probably give it to my stepson and use my new Toshiba instead. It has however marginally inferior resolution :-(.
Meanwhile I'm working on something cool for Meldware (that I kid you not no less than 12 people IM'd me)...stay tuned to find out what :-). As for Yahoo buying Zimbra. I'm so happy. I was afraid we'd have a real competitor eventually in Zimbra once they abandoned their "Open Source is the toy version, please buy the Man's version" model (inevitable). Now...they'll end up like most other "we acquired something outside our core business model". So it is how it is meant to be -- ultimately -- Us vs Exchange.

If you still want to occasionally run linux on your MBP - give fusion a try. Works quite fast.
