Feedback:
Aaron, I just listened to your show from Saturday about Google. Wave, which is when I got my access to Wave. I wanted to let you know 2 things. First, when I created my account I did get a new wave address (******@googlewave.com), so with a new address it may be possible to protect your information. Second, I tried opening wave on my ipod and got an error message that the browser was not supported. Have you had any luck?

Virtualization:
1. New version of VMware Fusion 3.0 for Mac – All new features here: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-10957 — **My favorites are below**
– Now runs natively in 64-bit in Snow Leopard
– Key features: Full support of Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit) including Aero mode — ALSO full support for 10.6 Snow Leopard Server
– Advanced 3D graphics (saw example of them running Flight Simulator X [FSX] and it looked incredible. It’s a very graphics-intense game.)
– Faster loading/suspend states
– Comes with preinstalled VirtualMachine Tools (oddly there was one for Mac OS!)
– Reduced memory usage for Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows XP that were created in THIS version of Fusion
– Remote into virtual machines with use of integrated VNC
2. Is this the version that kills off native ‘local’ desktop computing? I feel most computing should be done in VM’s. Will explain.
– Snapshots become a true system restore
– Most PC users do NOT game hardcore, therefore no reason for super graphics card
– Because this version supports 1080p video, if there is for some reason a codec that the Mac doesn’t have, videos can be watched in HD in Fusion 3.0
– Additional firewall protection due to IP address masking
– Now can run multiple servers from single machine (i.e. media server, database server, dhcp server, etc.)
3. Competition: Parallels and Sun’s VirtualBox. Also VMware available to run natively on PC’s. Will explain positives and negatives of Mac VM competitors.
4. Disappointing 27″ iMac news: Video input can only be done for devices which currently have DisplayPort’s…which are virtually none. It cannot accept RCA/HDMI/VGA. I will not be purchasing one
