Best Tools for MAC

I know but not everyone wants to run windows and surely there is a talented programmer out there who feels the same and has designed something for Mac.

Hey, I made some iphone and ipad applications. Objective-c is a very easy language. It's true that there aren't a lot of mac programs about SEO. Maybe when I got time, I can develop something special for the BHW guys

I'm a Mac guy myself. When I started getting into black hat seo, I used Parallel to run my apps, but I was never 100% satisfied. It was not very stable, and it wasn't fast enough.

Bootcamp wasn't an option, because I wanted to let the apps run in the background while I do my stuff on the computer.

So, I decided to purchase a cheap, but pretty fast Windows laptop. Up to a few weeks ago it was a perfect solution. But then, I got limited by my ISP's monthly bandwidth limit, and by my connection speed. Plus my router would shutdown every now and then when I was running several hundred of threads at the same time.

So, finally I decided to get a VPS and installed all my apps on there. I got a VPS from XSServer.eu and I'm very happy now. I can leave xrumer and scrapebox running 24/24 without worrying about bandwidth. Plus, I can sell my windows laptop since I don't need it anymore. The Remote Desktop app in Mac works great and doesn't slow down my computer.

I have a Mac myself and have to use bootcamp to complete most of the daily tasks. I also use (and recommend) a VPS every day so that when I'm on the go, the machines are still working

For building websites; freeway by softpress.

I'm moving most of my tools to a WinXP VPS and I just RDP into the VPS from any of my macs and pc's. But I have a crap load of servers here including a VMware server that the VPS is on. Parallels to Coherence mode is cool also though if you have a decent MAC.

Parallels... to run windows software .... the end.

this is exactly what i was going to post

I bought Parallels a few years back and ended up deleting it from my macbook pro just because I hated having to use windows.

Just recently I decided to set up a virtual machine again but didnt want to fork over extra cash on Parallels again. So after alot of research I found alot of people recommended the free solution VirtualBox.

I just set it up and it works great with Windows XP.

I could have spent the money on Parallels but many people said they have used both and see no real reason using Parallels over VirtualBox.
