I Can't hear you now! :(

You read that correctly. I was unable to get a good test with the bluetooth hacking this weekend. The reason? It appears that when you pass your bluetooth through to a virtual machine on your Mac, you loose a lot of the needed functionality. Yes, yes I know. You are thinking why didn't you just get carwhisperer to work on the Mac or try the Windows route, or boot your Dell into Backtrack?

The truth is that I wanted to see it work this way. I really like the idea of having one laptop that can do everything I need to do with the use of VMWare. Alas, this is not the case yet; at least not without getting external wifi and bluetooth dongles. I will attempt again this weekend with the Dell and Backtrack.

I did find something else interesting though....the PS3 has bluetooth. My goal may be to see what kind of cool stuff I can do there as well.
