Free Paragon Software Giveaway!

http://www.macworld.com/article/150737/2010/04/paragon_giveaway.html?lsrc=rss_main

As you can see Macworld reports that paragon is giving away their software HFS for windows 7.5 today, for free. And who doesn't like free? Only giving away 50,000 licenses get it while it's available. If you don't want to go to Macworld the link to their page is here, available in 32 and 64 bit flavors!

According to their website "HFS for Windows enables the use of Mac-formatted partitions in Windows operating systems. Utilizing Paragon’s own unique technology – the Universal File System Driver (UFSD), Paragon’s HFS for Windows is able to extend the boundaries of Microsoft Windows’ scalability and interoperability." If only I could get their NTFS software for mac (I don't want to use macfuse).

New Macbooks Minidisplay port carry audio

Wow, lots of mac news recently. Whether it's the available purchase of the iPad, the new iPhone OS 4.0, or the new macbook pro update there's a lot to talk about. But recently I saw an article on Ars Technica that said in addition to the spec bump on the new macbook pros the minidisplay port finally carries audio!

I for one was very happy to see this, as I was initially disappointed that the initial generation of minidisplayport from apple did not support audio and only carried video across. Well, news has it that apple is soon going to release a dp to hdmi cable, with audio support! This is also good news for mac mini users because they can hook up their mac to a HDTV! On a less related note I wish apple still bundled the VGA adapter (and apple remote) with every mac. It's pretty essential especially for mac users who need to present some sort of powerpoint or keynote on a projector.

Tell a Friend about this website!

I was browsing on the internet the other day and I stumbled onto this popup that told me to tell other people about the website. For reasons still unknown they listed live and hotmail, both of them, which intrigued me. I guess microsoft really does need some brand name managing...



Oh yeah, and lifehacker had this post about a website not unlike wordle (apparently even better) that could general "stunning custom word clouds" so being myself I wanted to test it out. And what's better site to test it than this site here? Also the save to png didn't work very well on the site, had to save as jpeg. Enjoy.
