Macrumors post: VMware Fusion Usability Study?



Saw this, but this could very well be a spam as well. VMware has its own beta forums and most users report back to the Beta Team of their experiences and evaluate the experience at the end of the beta.

Are you an avid Mac user looking to run Windows on your Mac computer? If so, VMware is conducting a usability study for its new Mac offering, VMware Fusion, and would like your opinion!

The purpose of the study is to understand your needs for running Windows on the Mac and learn how you interact with Fusion so that we can improve the product to meet your needs. We’re looking for Mac users at all levels, especially those who have limited or no experience with virtualization products.

These studies will take place at our VMware offices in Palo Alto from February 20th – Mar. 2nd. We are looking for people in the San Francisco/Bay Area willing to travel to our Palo Alto offices during these dates. During the session we will ask you to perform a number of tasks and to answer questions about your experience performing these tasks. The session is expected to last no more than 90 minutes. In appreciation of your time, we would like to offer $100 in American Express gift cards, or a VMware Fusion license.


Funny post, like I said, if you want to send a feedback , do it through the VMware site and not just some forum unless of course VMware endorses it!

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Whale Fall ----------------- Dress me up in my new threads clasp my greasy palms grease my hair I'm ready for the fall Watch at all the decadence watching the avalanche I'm slipping down losing my buoyancy What's become of us where have we come this far, this close close to the doors I hear them, sublimal chants I'm on the run I race through the human sea I am the king! I'm the slave to my own undoings I'm the jester in my courtyard We jest as we run We're strolling on that thin rope we grope as we rope we're true heros we're the survivors we're the scavengers we're the friends we're the lovers we're the unbred Soon awaiting the fall we're lurking on us we're osedaxing us we're soon going to be done we'll soon be arrested *osedax(bone devourer, newly discovered marine genus) feeds on a fallen(sunken) whale carcass(which is also called a whale fall).

Our frozen chi's and the Workfloor

I left home when I was 20. I had studied Physics(Major) and had no idea what to do next. I took to the seas, I think looking back it was more like a refuge, an asylum. Seeking to get away from all that peer pressure, myself and what not. 1991 June 7, around midnight I arrive in Lagos, Nigeria. Company agent ships me to the nearby hotel to wait for my first “boat”. That's the first time in my life I saw a lot of people , a race totally different from ours. I was warned to be careful, protect my wallet, but they came across as just about any other regular folk. That was my “first encounter”. Funny, since then I have worked with all kinds of nationalities (Japanese, Chinese, Malaysians, Indonesians, Dutch, Scandinavians, Thai, Americans, Spanish, Argentinians,..I can go on and on). What I have learned in all that is that we are all so much alike. But on board a ship it is “ really ” different. Your job is crucial and you must work together. That makes you accept each other realistica...
