Marc will tell you that when it comes to music, I love A Cappella music, (and he introduced me to DiVinci’s Notebook who are now Paul and Storm…. check them out, they’re great!)
and the great John Williams (Star Wars, Superman, Jurassic Park, Close Encounters, E.T., Indiana Jones, and so many more).
So, having recently been introduced to this clip, I’d like to share it with you all!
All Hail the Lame Duck President!
(or “Guess What Unexpected Thing Happened!?”)
Let’s cut to the chase. Codeweavers made a plea to President Bush to bring down gas prices, never expecting it to actually happen. Well, they bet that if it would happen, they would give away their CrossOver Pro software for free for 24 hours! (Normally $70!)
CrossOver allows you to run windows software without a copy of Windows. While not as versitle and compatible as Boot Camp, VMWare Fusion, or Parallels, it DOES work quite well with many windows titles, and the price is right!
SO… Stop reading, and go here immediately! (Once you get your e-mail be SURE to log on and register your copy before midnight tonight CST!)
As for 2 Live Fool’s hype-free zone… opinion… here you go. CrossOver is way behind in it’s usage and and overall acceptance. This giveaway should enable CodeWeavers to claim usage number at or above the current market leaders VMWare Fusion and Parallels. In general, this is a great opportunity for the company to expand it’s user base, and entice new users to PAY for their ongoing support plans and upgrade fees. This is a generous giveaway for users, and a truly profitable opportunity for CodeWeavers. Bravo!
This may seem like a simple story, but believe me when I say that this is a collaboration made in heaven.

The Apple iCar has been released! Now you can get your own:
Well friends, we saw it coming first, from our previous post of the first appearance of the “MAC iCAR”, to now as he’s available as part of a VERY LIMITED EDITION of 1000 thirty-six Hot Wheels “CARS” set.
Highlighted from his fifteen seconds of fame in the only shot which he appears in the film, MAC iCAR keeps the pace…
Simply put, this is the most amazing ‘toy’ ever created. Disneyland’s animatronics are not as extensive as this one! I can’t wait for my Kermit the Frog!
Here’s the whole promo:
Elmo Live will be available on October 14th for $59.95. Amazing! This is going to revolutionize the toy business!
As a great admirer of artist Drew Struzen, I’m happy to present to you the final Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull poster. (Yes, this time they did get the logo right!)
