    Firefox 3.7 Windows Theme Mockups can be found here.

    Looks very Chrome to me. I like it.

    Just as Kah Wee and I were talking about the lack of 3D support in Parallels yesterday, looks like the open source alternative, Virtual Box, has outdone the commercial counterpart in this area.

    VirtualBox 3 brings 3D graphics support

    The VirtualBox developers have gradually been adding support for accelerated 3D graphics. VirtualBox 3 has relatively solid support for OpenGL on Windows and Linux guests. It also has gained experimental support for Direct3D 8 and 9 on Windows. These advancements could make VirtualBox a viable solution for 3D gaming.

    In Windows, Firefox’s shortcut key for force reloading can be activated via Control + F5. In Mac, it’s Cmd + Shift + R.

    I just purchased a Bluetooth mouse and when using it with MacBook, it felt horrible. I was thinking I would get used to it after a while but hovering around the close button and not being able to get within the hit-area of it is incredibly annoying. I had to find a fix for it and found one here: http://lavacat.com/iMouseFix/

    This is the Mac’s major annoyance. I use Windows with mouse acceleration enabled and never thought much about it. It felt natural. Mouse acceleration in OS X is just a pain in the ass.

    It’s like Windows has this mouse acceleration curve that is a gradual slope and Mac OS X has this mouse acceleration curve that looks like my stairs.

    The thing I really dislike about the Microsoft Digital Media Keyboard 3000 (Wired) is they replaced the right Windows key with the Flip 3D button which is just nonsense for me.

    I haven’t figured how to reprogram it back or something. I use that Windows button (or what used to be a Windows button) quite often. Especially the Win+L shortcut to lock the Windows system
