Excellent summary. As you said, virtualbox is great and the price is right. But Parallels allows for very deep and nearly-seamless integration. I'm a Mac user who ended up needing access to the Windows version of Excel. Parallels makes using is nearly painless.

Quote 1: "That article makes several clear statements that the Republican Party platform would do the exact opposite of promoting internet freedom." This is a matter of opinion. It would be helpful if you gave reasons for WHY you think specific elements of the GOP platform would undermine internet freedom instead…

Gizmodo could also cover the fact that the Republic Party just adopted a platform that promotes internet freedom. That might seem more balanced. http://mashable.com/2012/08/29/republicans-internet-freedom/

I try to use full full punctuation. I did the same back in the heady days of AIM. I guess it's a pattern with me.

I present to you James Earl Jones, a black man with a beautiful voice.

I'm on Mac and Linux now and I use their full VPN service with the only caveat being that I had to specially ensure that all my network traffic was routed through them. Torrents seem to work fine and sites…
