I can’t get Coherence Mode to work
I just upgrade my copy of Parallels to the latest beta because I wanted to try out Coherence Mode. I’ve been unable to get it to work properly.
According to Parallels help, it is pretty straight forward to put Parallels into Coherence Mode (just click the Coherence Mode button) and I also have all of the system and software requirements for it to work.
I do not get any errors when I click on Coherence Mode - in fact I don’t get any type of message. I have reported this to the development team through their “Report a bug” feature, though I couldn’t give them too many details since Parallels does not provide any type of error when Coherence Mode does not work properly.
I’ve tried several things that I could think of; like setting my Windows and Mac OS X screen resolutions to be identical (thinking that had something to do with it). I’ve tried switching to Full Screen Mode (which works fine) first, then moving into Coherence Mode. Nothing I seem to try works, and I’ve read just about every form of documentation on the subject that I’ve been able to find.
Anyone have the same problem? Any suggestions on how I might be able to get it to work properly?

Is DVD Player temperamental?
I have a slightly scratched DVD that plays fine in my Panasonic DVD player in my living room, yet it managed to crash DVD Player on my Macbook.
Is DVD Player temperamental? Is this a hardware or software problem? Or is my Macbook’s DVD drive not as good as discovering, and moving past scratches? Is the fact that my Macbook uses the same drive to install software make it more sensitive to breaks in the data stream? Is this a precautionary measure so that any software I’m trying to install (especially a new version of my operating system) does not have any troubles? If this is a known problem, wouldn’t you think that DVD Player could give me an error instead of crashing DVD Player to the point where I need to restart my Mac to regain those processing threads?
So many questions! I know next to nothing about my Macbook’s drive, the hardware inside of it, or the software it takes to pull it altogether - but I do know that a DVD that has only a small light scratch on it, shouldn’t force me to restart my computer.

Driving on ice - don’t do it
Ok. If a road is clearly impassable, and there are tons of cars piling up. Do not drive your car down the hill. And, do not get out of your car when other cars are smashing into yours.
Videos like this will help the rest of us, and our insurance companies. But I bet there is a ton of auto-body guys loving every second of it.
