I'm not near my Mac at the moment, but I'll try the full cycle of restart with and without iMic attached to see if there's any pattern, and I'll let you know how I get on.

I'm pretty certain I'm seeing the same thing with Skype and a Griffin iMic. I made a call using Skype using a headset plugged into the iMic, and the preferences were set to use the USB audio device. Changing the preferences in the Skype program to use the internal devices didn't make any...

My order is still in the system, due to be shipped on or before the 28th. I was happy to see that the order price had dropped this morning, to match the new prices for the BTO options. My option was the Bluetooth/Airport option, and I've saved about £20. I might have gone for some of the...

When your iBook goes to sleep, it shuts down the hard drive anyway (and just about everything else), but just keeps a small enough flow of current to the memory to keep it active. So from that point of view there's not a lot of difference between sleep and shutdown. I only ever let my...

Just checked it this morning - itunes.com/uk

I thought it was strange to put PC before Mac too - when I typed the words from memory the first time, I put Mac and PC, it was only when I went back to take the photo I saw it was the other wa around.

OK, Here's a photo of the advert. The sun was shining directly onto the poster, and it's only a phone camera, but you should be able to make it out: (I think you need to be logged into the site to see attachments)

Yes, I'll take my phone up to it at lunchtime and take a picture, and then try and get it uploaded.

On my way into work today, I saw a new advert on a bus stop in Islington, London. It's in the normal style of the iPod posters, with an iPod and headphones on it, with a pink background, and says "iTune Music Store Now Open, for Mac and PC" So, does that beat the official announcement...

Yes it has, but it was recently extended to cover a lot more iBooks, hence my post :D

I just noticed that the iBook logic board repair program has been extended to cover newer iBooks - my iBook which I bought in May last year wasn't previously covered, but now is. The range is now: UV220XXXXXX to UV342XXXXXX More details at the Apple site...

The Register (www.theregister.co.uk) is reporting that the new generation of G5 chips which are fabricated at 90nm instead of 130nm have a considerable reduction in power consumption. From the article: "The 970FX, meanwhile, consumes a mere 12.3W at 1.4GHz, paving the way for PowerBook G5s...

No, it had an American voice over, so I guess it was pretty much unchanged, except for the URL at the end, www.apple.com/uk/G5

I was just fast forwarding through the adverts from last night's "Grand Designs Indoors" (on Channel 4) on my Tivo when I spotted the Apple logo flash up. I rewound and watched the "bloke blown out of his house" advert for the "most powerful personal computer." I've not seen much Apple...
