I guess this is the first time in years that Apple has named a product the wrong way. PowerBook was the strongest brand-level name in all the laptop market. To discard it - privileging the Mac part of the brand - seems to mean thay really are worried about losing their OS-hardware...

I agree with Fryke. I've stopped buying tech magazines in 2001... the world is too fast for them.

La Tortura - Shakira (bought on iTMS)

I doubt Apple will ever licence its Fairplay DRM system... and that's a pity, because I'm starting to feel a "Anti-iPod" and "Anti-iTMS" sentiment around... Apple should start to worry.

Quartz Extreme has a real effect only if have a "modern" video-card (radeon 7000 with 32 MB of RAM or more). Since your Mac has a limited processor speed, try setting your monitor color depth to thousands instead of millions. Should speed things up a lot. Just remember to turn it back to...

There has always been a Mac OS version of Starcraft. It's 3 years that Starcraft runs natively on Mac OS X. It's two and a half years that Blizzard has provided Mac OS X users with a full OS X Starcraft installer (no need for Classic environment). It's just days that Blizzard has released a...

EV 1 was a terrifi game. EV 2 was childish (icons, strange storyline) EV 3 was really nice, and I enjoyed it more then ever. Only problem was, after I completed one stroyline I couldn't force me to start back trying different solutions. I would really love Ambrosia to put out an EV 3 :D D...

Do you? Really? This is what I mean by saying that they need to introduce a simple adapter. The reason is that most producers of FW equipment are now facing a serious problem: go for speed and target just the few FW800-equipped PCs or adopt an old technology and go for the greater number of...

It's been some time since I last posted something, and I'm happy we're still voicing our opinions. BTW, I think Firewire was an exceptional technology 3 years ago, and that it is still superior to USB 2... BUT if Apple doesn't present soon a FW XXXX standard, faster than Firewire 800 and...

Sorry, didn't get it. Did you try something like Snapz Pro?

<if Microsoft hadn't bought up bungie, halo would be a mac game with ok graphics and less of a story> If Microsoft hadn't bought up Bungie, Halo would have been a Mac/PC game (just like the Myth series, or Marathon II) and MS would have sold some 500K less consoles.

Isn't there a "Switch to a window" command in Dungeon Siege? Just asking, never played the game, but there usually is an in-game command to go back to the desktop.

Classic supports 256 colors even if OS X doesn't really love it. Of course if you play in a window without obscuring the desktop you'll have horrible graphics all around your game screen. You can generally play Classic games with no problems - you just need to tweak the system a little, since...
