    Oh, cool stuff. That makes perfect sense, too. Coconut shells are remarkably clean materials. Almost zero ash content. That means cleaner, more effective carbon/charcoal for adsorption/filtration.

    I never thought I'd say this, but coconuts just got way cooler in my mind. #thermonuclearfusion

    Seems practical. To achieve efficient energy production we need to destroy all of the coconut trees on the planet. Like Easter island did with their trees to move the monoliths. #thermonuclearfusion

    Anyone tried playing blu-ray movies on a Mac with VMWare Fusion? I'm wondering if my recent model Mini could handle it via virtualization. #fusion3

    I am currently running Vista 64 in a VM Machine - can I first upgrade to Fusion 3 and then upgrade the Win Virtual Machine to Win 7? Just to make it trickier, my Virtual Machine installation is also a Bootcamp partition. #fusion3

    What percentage of the OS for Snow Leopard and Windows 7 is truly 64 bit? I understand they have been converting it pieces at a time, but there has been some debate in the developer community whether the speed improvements have been entirely from converting it or whether the re-write itself could have shown a significant amount of the improvement in 32 bit. Also, by merely supporting 64 bit, are we truly seeing the speed improvement through this support? I assume so, but we have had some experiences with ESX, depending on the cycle of the moon, that improvements like this have been minimal at best. #fusion3

    @Monty: It runs as a native 64-bit process in snow leopard, meaning it has access to more than 4GB of ram. #fusion3

    @Monty: Well the 64-bit advantage primarily has to do with memory addressing I believe. With a 64-bit Snow Leopard machine running 64-bit VMWare Fusion, running 64-bit Windows 7, you'd have, first of all, a base OS that can address more than 4GB of ram (which is important if you want to give your Windows 7 Guest OS a significant amount of RAM). The more this filters down, it gives those crazy cats running Mac Pro's with 16GB of RAM the ability to run Windows 7 with 8GB of RAM.

    In Snow Leopard, of the 25 or so System Processes in Activity Monitor, only two (lsd and kernel_task) are not 64-bit.

    Most apps I run (Firefox, Filemaker Pro, Office 2008 etc) are still running in 32-bit mode.

    One disturbing thing is that Adobe's Creative Suite 4 runs in 32-bit mode apparently. I would think, other than VMWare Fusion, that Photoshop would be the next application in line to receive gobs of RAM. . . . #fusion3

    @matt buchanan: Brilliant - thank you, Matt. That was the reason we made some switches on our servers to 64 bit as well -- how quickly I forget. Clearly my memory is still stuck in the 8 bit world at 32K. #fusion3
