So rent a Mac online with the latest XCode running in a Mac virtual machine

 

This offer is for occasional users only. My software doesn't count time, so I trust people will not abuse it. If you have to work for half a day no problem. Use it, enjoy it, shut it down afterwards. Come later. During the day the load is very light anyway. Occasional users, yes, but it doesn't mean don't use at all :-). 
So far everybody was using it fairly, some more, some less, and I appreciate that. There is enough capacity, so don't worry about that.

It's just not suited for people who will be using it non-stop for days every day, or who will be overloading it with non-stop compilation jobs making it a node of a server farm.
That's why I can offer it to many people at such a low price.

If you have special requests, let me know. If you need to compile for PowerPC, talk to me!

It's a complete and independent computer with it's own RAM and HDD, sharing the main CPU, running as a software process. VMWare is the application running on my Mac that administers all virtual machines. It's HDD is just a bunch of files on my Mac taking about ~30Gb per VM. So it's like having an access to an actual Mac, with your own admin login and password and your own HDD. Each app you run thinks it's in a normal Mac. One VM doesn't know about the other one.

Advantages:

It's just like having your own private Mac.
You have admin rights, you can install what you want
Start and shutdown when you want
You get your own iOS iPhone simulator, your own settings, just like a normal Mac
Virtual Machine actually consumes less RAM than the real one
Performance is almost like a real one thanks to built into Intel's virtualization system
Since XCode is setup already you don't have to spend hours downloading every update and setting it up yourself.
It's the next best thing to owning a Mac!
And it takes no desktop space, consumes no electricity, takes no time from you to set up.
It's a winner! It's a fantastic use of technology if you ask me.

Each Mac Virtual Machine has enough RAM: 2Gb dedicated (guaranteed at all times). It's  enough because the way modern OS works, each process reuses a lot of system dlls from main machine, that saves about 1Gb of RAM compared to a physical Mac. So it's very smart.

You will see that for a virtual machine it's enough and you will have 500Mb free almost all the time.

20 GB of free disk space, which is also a lot. 42Gb total. It is necessary to give that much because OS distributes the files uniformely across the entire HDD for performance reasons. If I give less, it slows it down.

2 cores per Virtual Machine - quite sufficient.

It runs on an official brand new Mac Mini bought by me from Apple Store in June 2012, with 16Gb of actual RAM and 3Tb external drive. I bought another Mac Mini in Jan 2013, also with 16Gb of RAM and 2Tb of ext drive.

Internet connection is very fast: 10Mbit upload, 25MBit download. Fiber optic to my building.

It uses my own custom written software to start a virtual machine through a web page.

 

Virtual Machines are running only while they are used.

 

So they are not all running at the same time overloading the whole system. People start when they need it and shut down when they are done. My job is to watch the load/statistics. And so far the load is light.
That's how I can offer it to a large number of people.

I am Daniel. I am the co-founder of Spline Technologies, a company specializing in ASP, VBScript and JavaScript debugging tools, since 1999: www.remotedebugger.com, and we also develop interesting iOS apps: www.iwebclipboard.com, www.iwebclipboard.com/igst.asp

 

If you have any questions always let me know! I can always recommend something and find a solution.
I want to talk to people, I don't want them to spend thousands, I want to share, I want enthusiastic people.

I have my own projects, don't be silly, I am not stealing yours. I glance over VMs to check on them.  There is nothing important for me in your projects. Github is filled with a lot of curious and useful opensource projects, why don't I use them instead of yours?

So don't be silly and think "oh my god somebody steals my super million dollar project". Nobody needs it but you.

I create value for people! I contribute. And that excites me! I see people coming in and doing their stuff. Their enthusiasm is contagious :-). Each one would otherwise have to spend thousands for a new Mac. I saved them that money and half a day to set it up. I use essentially server grade hardware and high-end internet connection to create value for people. I learn in real life the business lessons of cashflow and investments on a small scale.
I interact with people. We discuss some new APIs together. Sometimes they offer me contracts.
I see how software that I created glues all of it together.
How the request comes to my server, and then to my Mac and my software starts a VM.

All those nuances that make it work and make you scratch your head :-)

This is an amazing experience and I am very proud that I made it happen.

I understand, but let me open your eyes: every other company is essentially 1 guy show that poses as a big company. I know this from inside out, I was in the trenches of IT business for the last 15 years. There are no big companies that offer this kind of service. It is simply not a mass market product.

You see their site, it looks flashy. Cool. Do you know how much that site costs? Exactly $12 for a template that looks big. Can you call them in case of an issue? Do they give their address and phone number? Do you even know where they are located? How many macs do they have? Do they even have genuine Macs, not hackintoshes? Will you get root admin access? Can you install what you want? What is their uplink?

In every case I tried, they had 1 overloaded virtual machine with a dozen of users that was so deadly slow that I don't know how anybody can do anything on that. Does that look like a big company to you?

They pose as a big company, but in reality they are lying to you and ripping you off.

 

Go check it out yourself if you don't believe me, it's all up to you...

 

Truth is, nobody offers anything even close to what I am offering. They don't offer you an actual virtual machine, nor an actual physical machine. With them you get a remote desktop access to the same virtual mahine everybody else is using. Check their memory usage and swap file. Chances are their memory is overloaded and poor Mac OS has to use HDD instead of RAM. Also there aren't many internet connections with a good uplink, like mine. So that's why it's horibly slow. Also their mac is not even a mac, it's a hackintosh - a self made mac compatible hardware and a virtual machine running on top of that. You never get full admin access with them, you can't install any software. With my solution, you get an actual virtual machine, with full admin rights and admin password, on genuine Apple Mac hardware, on a very high speed uplink.

 

Things will never get better than this

 

Don't buy it. It's a very bad idea. This only looks like a good solution. It will be very slow. If you buy older OS, new XCode will not run on it. And it is required for latest IOS and IPhone support. And after modern Windows even modern Mac feels slow.
Older Mac will be a total disaster. And they cost a lot of money upfront.
I find Apple's approach simply revolting. We want to create apps for their platform! Each one of us can't just purchase a new Mac every year! We can't just spend thousands on them! Who do they think they are?
That's why I offer this service. So I offer a very smart low-risk solution.

I manually prepare your VM. It takes about 30 minutes. If I am not available online, don't freak out. Nobody is stealing your money. I am here all the time. I will get to it as soon as I come back.

Send me additional info, if you want:
Choose a name of your Virtual Machine, by default I either use your First name.Last name or company name
Tell me the email to whom should I send the connection details, sometimes it's not the one used for payments
And an email of the person who will use it (you don't have to if you don't want to)

I already have several cloned Viritual Machines almost ready
I just install TeamViewer into yours, rename it, and make sure my software starts yours automatically.
Then I prepare an email with all the details and send it.
Overall it takes about 30 minutes to complete all of this.
I do that right after I receive your subscription order. I am not waiting for days before doing it :-)
You can be sure you will get it pretty soon, don't worry about it.

I don't make a big deal about it. Basically you can cancel anytime, but once you cancel it or skip 1 payment, I remove your Virtual Machine right away. It's really not comfortable for me to find out when your period ends and schedule it in my calendar and  wait until the end of your period, so this is how I do it, I remove it right away.
This frees up the space that it takes, actually it takes about 30GB of HDD so it's a lot of space.
And then new customers come in and they need that space for their Virtual Machine.
I appreciate it!

If a payment is skipped, I suspend your Virtual Machine until the payment goes through.
