Macworld is Coming

Macworld is coming to San Francisco next week. I will be writing reports from the exhibit  hall floor and posting them on my new web site mac-win.net. I recommend that you get an exhibit hall pass and take a look around, even though the Apple company no longer participates in Macworld, after years of being an anchor exhibitor. Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, stated that he would rather put the resources into Apple retail stores, and the sales and training support that would be available there for their customers. Apple has since opened over 300 stores world-wide.

Mac-Win.net

We have come a long way, baby. (The picture is an original Apple computer prototype)

Since Apple moved from PPC architecture to Intel architecture, Macs and PCs have become more and more alike. Did you know that you can install Windows on a Macintosh computer? Using the Mac OS Boot Camp utility, you can install Windows 7 or Windows XP on a partition of the Mac hard disk. You can even use the Mac OS and Windows OS concurrently, with the aid of Parallels Desktop or VMware virtualization software.

Announcing Mac-Win.net, a network for those that bridge the two worlds of Macintosh and Windows. There are articles about performance upgrades and the latest in computer support, including migrating from Windows to Macintosh.

Understanding Deep Politics

Revealing the Driving Forces Behind World Events and Creating Alternative Solutions

Discover the Deeper Roots of Our Current Crises

In one packed weekend, Understanding Deep Politics will bring together ten distinguished speakers and hundreds of concerned citizens like you for the purpose of challenging the mainstream perceptions of political reality and to reveal the hidden forces behind many widely accepted historical and current events. Our speakers will draw upon many decades of research to help you connect the dots that are pointing us towards an Orwellian police state—indeed, to a much darker future than most citizens can even imagine. Our wide-ranging roster of presenters, including David Ray Griffin, Jim Marrs and Ellen Brown, will delve into the roots of our current crises and the dynamics driving despotic governance, financial plunder, imperialism, loss of civil liberties, and assaults on public health. Further, they will explore how such vital insights are continually being suppressed as they expose the media matrix that obscures these facts and stupefies our culture, all in the interest of protecting a malignant status quo.

Understanding Deep Politics was held May 14 – 16, 2010 at the University Inn and Conference Center, Santa Cruz, CA. I video streamed the conference, and have posted the videos for viewing at Enlightened Films.
