So I have held off even looking at the new Intel macs partially because I know if I play with it, I will want one, but also because most of the professional graphics software isn’t where it needs to be yet. But since I do use both platforms on a regular basis, the ability to put Windows on the Mac, and the fact that you can switch back and forth with just a few clicks and restart, as announced today by Apple, makes the Intel Mac very tempting. So check this out. http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/

Starbucks, which already sells CDs in most of its stores, and which has experimented with CD-burning kiosks, plans to set up what the company calls “device fill-up” terminals in its stores. The company says it is in discussions with several companies about developing the service. While it’s too early to speculate about whose software or DRM the service will use, it’s worth noting that the Starbucks CD-burning kiosks are powered by HP hardware and Microsoft software, and the two companies (which happen to be neighbors of a sort) have also collaborated on wireless services in the past.
