Bonjour for Windows 1.0.3

Downloaded Bonjour for Windows, tried it out, and I’m a little disappointed. All it does is to allow you to share printers across the network. True enough, worked very easily to allow me to install the shared printer from my iMac, but I expected it to allow me to see the shared Mac drives as well. See below for a snippet from Cult of Mac:

“Apple made Bonjour for Windows 1.0.3 available today. Bonjour is Apple’s implementation of zero-configuration networking — advanced auto-detection of other networked devices, basically, without the need for IP address knowledge. It’s also an integral part of sharing iTunes and iPhoto libraries, as well as networked printers. Apple’s been committed for a little while to making this truly cross-platform; the source is open, and Windows support has been out there for awhile. I don’t see this new Windows version as an indication of a product launch, just Apple placing its claim on simplified network creation — AppleTalk for the next generation. Plus, the more broadly Bonjour is supported, the better off Mac users will function in mixed-platform environments.”

Pigs in a Polka

On Frederator: “The Three Little Pigs meet Brahms in this Oscar-nominated Merry Melody.”

The composer’s famous Gypsy Dances are featured in this cartoon, and the animation is beautifully synced to the music. Where Disney failed to impress dramatically with Fantasia, cartoons like this one hit a vein, comically, just a few years later. Here is the link.
