[VirtualBox 4.0.4] adds some GUI enhancements to the virtualization software. Be sure to also install the “VirtualBox 4.0.4 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack” to support USB 2.0.

I had some initial issues running a guest of Windows XP on Windows-7. The same guest worked on Linux and MacOS. It turned out to be necessary to disable the 3d acceleration in the VM settings to avoid a crash during start-up.

To install 3d-acceleration on a Windows-XP guest, you have to boot into safe-mode.

MacbookPro Upgrade 8GB RAM

tim — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 00:32:19 +0000

So I learned a little thing about Macs. When you get a back, order the least amount of memory possible from the Apple store because they overcharge by a lot. So I overpaid, and then got a good price to max out at new egg.

When I installed the hardware, I dropped a couple of the laptop screws, which I spent 10 minutes looking for. These screws are literally the size of a spec of dirt.

After the RAM is installed, I booted from a Ununtu CD and ran the memory test.

The more RAM, the better everything works. TADA

XBOX 360 Family Settings Insufficent

tim — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 21:26:29 +0000

It turns out even with family settings on, purchases can still be made without a password prompt. I need to root the XBOX 360 or something so points can’t be spent and purchases can’t be made without entering a password. [post]
