BOL 1095: The phrase that pays from Amazon
Created: 10/23/2009
Video description: Amazon's trying to compete with PayPal with a new service that brings one-click shopping into the rest of the non-Amazon world.

To run XP natively on an Intel-based Mac, once you've completed Boot Camp, simply hold down the option key at startup to choose between Mac OS X and Windows. (That's the "alt" key for you longtime Windows users.) After starting up, your Mac runs Windows completely natively.
