sorry if this is random but...I think that it's pretty awesome that Boot Camp installs your printer drivers for you when you burn the Apple Support Drivers disc. It's all in the little details.

@GrahamPerrin I'm guessing that a virtual box ML VM would need to be created on a Mac, but would then be portable onto a PC running the same version of Virtual Box?

stuffe

All will be revealed....next year!

@stuffe Today is the start of a new year of the Islamic calendar :)

Well, God willing, we will be blessed with new iTunes!

Although I don't know how current he is with technology...

Who remembers OS/2 warp?

@stuffe Remember - of course. Used, not so much.

Does anyone use Fission by Rogue Amoeba?

I'm probably going to buy their Audio Hijack Pro license and wondered if I should spring for the bundle. I don't do much editing, but it looks like one of the best tools for that.

Q: Spindump analysis instructions?

I have a collection of spindumps focused on an app that need to be analyzed, however I'm not sure precisely how to analyze these. I've seen some other developers who are able to quickly parse these either mentally or with software and come back to me with details on where hangs are coming to pla...
