Parallels 4
Its been months since Parallels 4 has been released. My experience with it has been quite pleasant, but there are some quirks in Parallels 4.
For example, every time I run a Windows VM, Parallels messes up my system bar, for example:
![]()
Instead of replacing the icon for networking it just keep appending a new icon as the state changes. Very annoying. Will Parallels please fix this!

Best Task Manager for Mac OSX

I've been looking for a good task manager for Mac OSX for a while. I'm impressed by Things.
I've been using it for over a week, and it has some excellent features which I like and appreciate: A native Mac OSX look and feel, a system wide shortcut to add new tasks, classic GTD categorization and much more.
One lacking feature however, is integration with Quicksilver, but the provision os a system-wide shortcut kind of compensates for that.
You can find a comparison of Things with other task managers here, and not surprisingly Things comes out ahead.
