iLife 05 has some serious bugs. iPhoto's performance reminds me of iPhoto from a couple of years ago and iMovie HD has major problems with importing and pass-thru mode. My video camera won't work with it now in pass-thru mode to import video from my VCR. So hopefully, an update is coming...

Haven't played with it much yet. But I still find one major problem with its design. The developers of iLife still don't seem to understand the concept of allowing multiple users to share a photo library or music library. On my Power Mac, I have converted all my cd's. They are located under...

I figure I'll make it the data drive for my video editing. Should I also put my /Users on this as well? Or should I leave that on my primary drive?

I'm looking to add a second drive to my dual G5 2.0 system. I've got a 250GB drive already. I'm doing quite a bit of video editing on my system and my wife is storing a lot of photos on it. I would like to get a external SATA enclosure and run RAID but I can't afford that for now. So I'm...

Very reputable. Quality memory.

Don't directly attach your G5 to your cable/dsl modem. The router has built-in firewall. So combining that with your G5's firewall, you should be plenty safe. Look for either a Linksys, Netgear, or D-Link. They are all similar although the D-Link I had didn't seem as configurable for...

My shipping status hasn't changed at all. The estimated date is to be on or before 6/21. Does that mean the day it ships or the day I'm supposed to receive it? If its 6/21, which is Monday, I would have expected it to have shipped by now. But if its late, no bother. I'm in the process of...

Security through obscurity

I need to import some analog video into a G4 PowerMac. Whats the best solution out there? I saw that Pinnacle Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge got awful reviews. Anybody recommend anything else? Video Capture cards? Another analog->digital bridge?

Great. Another iPod from Apple. What we really want to see are some new computers. Or has Apple forgotten how to build them? Or worse, doesn't care to be in the computer business anymore and forgotten to tell their customers.

I've applied the latest security patch. Other than that, the only thing I can think of is I've imported a lot of photos into iPhoto (iLife '04). I now have over 2100 photos in it. But all my panics have occurred when the screensaver was running or the iBook had switched to sleep mode. I'm...

http://wwww.wjla.com/news/stories/0104/121617.html More power to them. I'm all in favor of more power to the musicians, even if it means the end of iTunes as we know it. The music labels existence is threatened and I'm glad for it.

Alright, its Tuesday morning, and I see nothing on Apple's website yet. Bummer.
