Most of us have problems with browsers, their inability to display pages properly or problems with speed and security. But with when Google built Chrome fro Mac it looks like they missed out one little feature.
So Google does this mean that we must make all of our web pages with the .aspx extension?

The iMac is the computer that turned around Apple’s fortunes and laid the way for the resurrection of one of the earliest personal computer companies. The iMac was all about creating a powerful all-in-on-machine that was more than just a group of boring beige boxes tied together with miles of cables. For a decade the iMac has been regarded by most as the ultimate all-in-one, but is that about to change?
Since the launch of Windows 7 some really new cool and powerful all-in-one PCs have started to appear, and they all have big screens, look great, have their own identity and are all multi-touch. What’s more important is that they are significantly cheaper than Apple’s all-in-one.

Macs are very expensive and if you want a taste of Mac OSX you can install it on your PC, but by doing so you break all kinds of laws and agreements. However there is a free similar Alternative that will not get arrested, fined or sued but will give a good Mac style alternative. I am talking about a modded Puppy Linux called MacPup. The software has a realistic Mac dock with the enlarging icons and a Mac theme. A higher quality dock has come out so when you add the Leopard desktop background no one will know the difference (unless they look closely). MacPup might not be able to give you a fully blown Mac experience but it does give a good usable basic one that can carry out basic and some more advanced tasks. There is also is a lot of room for improvement (particularly for networking) but MacPup has some unique advantages that Apple could only dream of. First of all it is very tiny and can run on your computers RAM (it is only around 150mb not like the gigabytes needed for OSX. Because of it’s size it can be run off of a USB drive which makes it useful as a portable operating system. Mac has some very powerful creative software available for it such as Photoshop and Final Cut Studio however equally as good free Linux alternatives are available.
I have tried out a Live-CD version of MacPup and it is very quick and requires a small amount of computer knowledge. A very good installation guide is available at: http://www.pcmech.com/article/puppy-linux-on-usb-stick-how-to/ and you can download MacPup at www.macpup.org
I really like MacPup and it does make a good free Linux based Mac Alternative. I would give it a Tech Ticker rating of 7.5/10
