Boot Camp isn’t a separate product, it’s part of OS X (which is free). The salesman was probably talking about Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion. of course, one can just as easily use Virtualbox. Or if you only need IE, you can use a WINE

Given that Google is a publicly traded company, I think it’s a question of ‘when’ instead of ‘if’ it will trade on user data more than they do now. It only takes a flip of a switch. That’s why companies like Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter ha
