    New Apple Website

    I too love the new design of the Apple website. I especially love the 'sliding' navigation tabs that appears on the right hand side of the Support and Download sections. I can't wait for a Dreamweaver Extension for that. Also, try searching for something in the new search bar. Spotlight on...

    Roxio Popcorn

    Popcorn is a great product. Been using it since it was release and I am absolutely pleasure with the results it produces. Yes, it 'recompresses' single layer discs, but what it does it gets rid of all the adverts and copyright scenes. It keeps the subtitles and you can choose which languages...

    Tiger eats 100% CPU

    I noticed this on my PowerBook yesterday. I was getting 100% CPU when I installed Virex 7.5.1. I notice that the background service was taking 80% CPU. It was because Virex was not compatible with Tiger. If you have installed the application, you need to uninstall it. Hope it helps.

    Funny you mention that one, because we tried that as well! We went to Gallery, Send via, Bluetooth and the name of my Mac. If I remember rightly, the error message was that the phone couldn't see it because two or more Bluetooth ports were running, or something of that description. I have...
