Google to launch its own PC operating system

Even with a high sales rate for iPhone, over a million just at its launching, and more, and a new OS for Samsung’s mobile phones, including an inhouse browser, Google pitches in, and announces that its target device is the notebook.

I think that iPhone is primarily suited for Mac, and that is somehow clamping down its sales for Windows Mobile users. As for Samsung, while the mobile phone OS is not WM6.x, it is still able to link up and communicate with WM6 devices. It is still compatible, in that sense.

Anyway, for Google’s OS plan, see that story here.

Acoustica's Mixcraft

I have downloaded the software, and am currently evaluating it now.

I haven't tried working on GarageBand, and as I have mentioned, I am currently a PC user, and the primary reason for me to switch to using Mac is their music package that is bundled with the Mac unit: GarageBand, CuBase, etc.

Well, if I can figure Mixcraft properly, I may not make the move anymore. since I would have to be using my laptop for coding purposes, which is my primary livelihood.

Music is my main hobby, and it would be costly to buy a Mac just for my hobby. Of course, there are other hobbies that are more costly, and the expenses would be continual, like golf, which is just every time you go on a golf-ing spree, you spend. Buying a Mac is a one-time deal, and there may not be upgrades necessary later on.

Anyway, I will again post the update on my evaluation. There is a video tutorial, and the other part I am trying to do is to hook up my MIDI keyboard so I can do live performance, or controlled editing.... whatever.

Till then.
