[Tfug] Darwin 10.8

[Leo Przybylski]

Those of us willing to shell out $105 already had that with Air
Parrot. This is just Apple Sherlocking another company. I will still
pay Air Parrot for their product because they allow me to
disable/enable audio. This is super useful for guys like me that like
to stream from ustream.tv. Unfortunately, Airplay mirroring by apple
traps the audio which ustream presenter also wants to do. It eminently
leads to a really nasty crash.

If you use ustream like I do, you'll need to shell out an extra $5 to
disable audio with air parrot. Also, if you can't upgrade to Mtn.
Lion, Air parrot will hook you. Also, Air parrot + synergy kvm is an
awesome combo for your mini.

If I were to travel somewhere, i'd just bring the Mini, bring one of the hockey pucks, and use the TV in the hotel room as my Mac's display. :)
