http://live.pirillo.com/ – You want MY opinion on whether the Xbox360 or the Playstation3 is better? Ok, fine then. Xbox all the way. However, the gaming system that is right for you is a personal choice. Don’t let the so-called ‘console wars’ make the decision for you.

First let me say that I’ve never used a PS3. I used to own a PS2, but I didn’t use it much. In my opinion, the PS3 is really just a Blu-ray DVD player.

I do, however, own a few XBox 360’s. Why more than one? Well, I can use them to share media through my network from any of the machines, anywhere in my house. I can browse my media center, and control my music files.

Let’s not forget that over in another corner, we have the Nintendo Wii. Nintendo has taken game play to a whole new level of fun and interaction.

Seriously, the type of gaming console that is right for you boils down to your preferences. What can you afford? Does the console have the type of games you want? This whole thing about “console wars” is nothing more than a holy war of sorts. No one is right, and no one is wrong.

I honestly think the next generation of gaming will be a universal console that will play any and ALL games. What do you think?

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
