Mountain Lion GM iCloud Fix for ESXi !
After few weeks battling with iCloud and Mountain Lion GM, it has been figured out ! See below for a fix.
Download VMWARE Workstation from VMWARE.COM
1. Extract efi bios from vmware-vmx.exe by opening it with 7zip
2. Look in “.rsrc/BINRES”. extract the 6021 file, rename it to EFI64.rom.
3. Copy EFI64.rom to where the vmx file is located for the vm on the vmfs data store
4. Add line efi64.filename = “./EFI64.rom” to your vm vmx file
Thats it. Start the machine and sign in to iCloud.

Eco-friendly iPhone speaker dock uses no electricity
If you’re feeling guilty about the conditions the workers who made your smartphone had to endure or the number of air miles your device managed to rack up while winging its way to you, there will be something you can do to balance your karma.
The iBamboo iPhone speaker dock is a completely green iPhone speaker docking solution that will amplify any audio content emanating from your Apple handset without using any electricity whatsoever.
Although the simple yet stylish device won’t have the neighbours hammering on your wall in an effort to get you to turn the music down, the iBamboo serves as a straightforward and effective way to amplify music or speech content played on your iPhone.
The way the device works is pretty simple; the user slots his or her iPhone into a small opening at the top of a one-foot-long piece of bamboo. The natural shape of the bamboo serves to amplify the content played while also creating a “pseudo-stereo effect” as the sound exits either side of the wood.
Interested iPhone owners can purchase the iBamboo speaker dock in traditional bamboo, or at least they could if it wasn’t currently sold out, but will soon be able to get one made of plastic. The new plastic dock will apparently provide a cleaner and crisper sound which is more suitable for “urban use”. Those who like to coordinate their smartphone accessories can also avail themselves of a bamboo iPhone cover, available from the same company.
At the moment, the iBamboo speaker dock is only compatible with the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S, although Anatoliy Omelchenko of Triangle Tree who designed the device says he is working on models that will be compatible with older iPhone handsets and other Apple devices such as the iPod and iPod Touch players.
Anybody interested in picking up an iBamboo speaker dock (the company is based in the US but ships internationally) can sign up for notifications as to when they will be available again. The recycled plastic version is expected to sell for a very reasonable $30. Obviously though, the device will not charge your phone.

New Unlocker for all VMware Products to Run OSX Lion including ESXi
DONK today released a new unlocker that allows to run os x on all vmware platforms including ESXi
Release notes:
Updated 4th November 2011
New unlocker which can do all the current VMware products. Please see the readme copied here.
Mac Son of Knife will be running another thread, http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=267339, to help with running Mac OS X on this unlocker. This thread will be for updates and issues with the unlocking process only.
Mac OS X Unlocker for VMware
============================
1. Introduction
—————
The package is a combination of the Unlocker code written by Zenith432 plus some
scripts written by myself that wrap the actual unlocker code.
It has been tested against:
* Workstation 8.0 on Windows and Linux (32 & 64-bit versions)
* Player 4.0 on Windows and Linux (32 & 64-bit versions)
* Fusion 4.0 on Snow Leopard and Lion
* ESXi 5.0
The patch code carries out the following modification dependent on the product
being patched:
* Fix vmware-vmx and derivatives to allow Mac OS X to boot
* Fix vmwarebase .dll or .so to allow Apple to be selected during creation
* Copy darwin.iso if needed to VMware folder
Note that not all products recognise the darwin.iso via install tools menu item.
You will have to manually mount the darwin.iso for example on Workstation.
Also Player is missing vmware-vmx-debug and vmware-vmx-stats files and so an
error is shown during patching as the files are not found. This can be safely
ignored.
In all cases make sure VMware is not running, and any background guests have
been shutdown.
2. Windows
———-
On Windows you will need to either run cmd.exe as Administrator or using
Explorer right click on the command file and select “Run as administrator”.
install.cmd – patches VMware and copies darwin.iso tools image to VMware
uninstall.cmd – restores VMware and removes darwin.iso tools image from VMware
3. Linux
———
On Linux you will need to be either root or use sudo to run the scripts.
You may need to ensure the contents of the linux folder have execute permissions
by running chmod +x against the 3 files.
install.sh – patches VMware and copies darwin.iso tools image to VMware
uninstall.sh – restores VMware and removes darwin.iso tools image from VMware
4. Mac OS X
———–
On Mac OS X you will need to be either root or use sudo to run the scripts.
This is really only needed if you want to use client versions of Mac OS X.
You may need to ensure the contents of the osx folder have execute permissions
by running chmod +x against the 3 files.
install.sh – patches VMware
uninstall.sh – restores VMware
5. ESXi
——-
ESXi has to be patched using the scripts, as the unlocker is used to overlay
the ESXi firmware at runtime. You will need to transfer the files to the
ESXi host either using vSphere client or SCP.
Once uploaded you will need to either use the ESXi support console or use SSH to
run the commands. Please note that you will need to reboot the host for the
patches to become active.
You may need to ensure the contents of the esxi folder have execute permissions
by running chmod +x against the 3 files.
install.sh – patches VMware
uninstall.sh – restores VMware
6. Zenith432’s Unlocker
———————–
In all cases the unlocker can be run without the scripts but you would need to
carry out additional actions which the scripts encapsulate for you especially on
ESXi. If you want to run the unlocker directly the parameters are:
Usage: ./Unlocker.Linux64 [-h] [-u] [target_directory]
-h: print help
-u: remove the patch
target_directory: customize location of vmx executables
On all platforms you must run it with administrator or root privileges.
The source code is provided and Zenith432 makes it freely available for
modification.
Thanks to Zenith432 for building the unlocker and Mac Son of Knife for all
the testing and support.
