MobileMe vs iCloud email alias
I was a satisfied MobileMe user and had configured so called email aliases. These were some external POP email accounts ( 5 in my case ) read by the MobileMe service and pushed to my iPhone, iPhone and MacBook.
Now I have migrated to iCloud for a while, but there the concept of email aliasses has a totally different meaning. They are now just alternate addresses ( max 3 ) for your Apple ID ( your @me.com email address ) that you can use to make online purchases for example. However, the old settings also seem to just work; the POP addresses are still just read, without the ability to configure them in the iCloud email preferences.
Don’t ask, just enjoy.
But sometimes it’s not quite right. The emails are properly read and forwarded to my iPad2 and MacBook Pro, but not ( always ) to my iPhone4. While the settings are just the same.
Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Fetch New Data -> Push
Turn this setting on the iPhone4 temporarily into Fetch and after a short time into Push again. It might be a solution … fingers crossed.

upgrade to VMware Fusion 4
There are several software solutions to work with Windows programs on a Mac under OS X; BootCamp, Parallels or VMware Fusion. I’m using VMware for a while now, because I had good experiences with VMware Workstation on a PC.
For the Mac there is now a new version, so I upgraded my version to VMware Fusion 4. Faster, better integration with the Mac. … And with support for Apple OSX 10.7 Lion.

How is AutoCAD LT 2012 for the Mac different from AutoCAD 2012 for the Mac you ask? It is only sold via the Mac App Store. Besides that there are the same differences as in the Windows release; no 3D and no application development.
AutoCAD WS for Mac
Besides being integrated into the new releases of AutoCAD 2012 for the Mac, you may run AutoCAD WS as an application on the Mac and downlaod it from the Mac App Store.
