I've also noticed a strange noise with my TiPB 550 since I moved to Jaguar although it's not clear if Jaguar is the cause. This high pitch whine is intermittent and I've noticed that it happens only while surfing the internet and while something is actually being Tx/Rx'd. Strange I know. But so...

Does anyone know if these work with Mac OS X? And if so... does it also work with other bluetooth devices like PDA's and Cell Phones? Thanks in advance Don

I've had several digital cameras over the years and here's my humble opinion... First, get the most resolution you can afford. 2 megapixel cameras will give you great 5x7, 3 will go to 8x10 and 4 will go to 11x14. You can get cameras with more than 10 megapixels but you're going to shell out...

On your software CD from Canon there are utilities. The Image Browser utiliity will allow you to quickly download both pictures and movie clips. Make sure your communications setting on your camera is set to "normal" and not "PTP". When set to PTP mode, your mac will automaticall launch iPhoto...

Kinda off-topic for this one but what's in your .ppt files that's 5-10MB? Unless you're showing video in PowerPoint something probably could be optimized. Back in the days when I had to abandon Director for PowerPoint I often used the built-in compression features of PowerPoint to make the files...

Howdy... I've purchased a few Ericsson phones from pcsphonestore.com. I think they have both the T68 and T68i although the only difference is the firmware (T68 can be flashed to T68i). He's got them for $450 but they're completely unlocked and usable on any system. Hope this helps...

What's wrong with buying an iPod from Best Buy? Apple will be controling the prices so it's the same as anywhere else. We should be supporting the mainstream retail consumer electronics stores decision to carry Apple products otherwise we'll never see more than this. Curious thought though...

But now I have a question... Are there any digital camcorders that stream live video out thru the firewire? Would be cool to have one that also doubles as a webcam. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance... Don

Been watching all the whiners... OK, most of the subject lines... First, why can't we agree to disagree. Second, it sounds like no one is considering the big picture. All I've seen points to one thing or another and with very few exceptions never the big picture. Apple has been hard at...

The crack in the case is just the paint coming off the ring that goes around the edge of the case. I have similar defects and also got the run-around from Apple. They claimed it was "normal wear" and refused to repair. This is a very common problem too. To have it repaired would have been...

Powerbook G4 Rechargable Battery Apple Part No. M8511 Battery is about 4 months old and not been used since the initial charging and a weeks use and then mostly on AC power. $85 includes shipping. I have two spares and need only one so this one is up for grabs. Prefer payment by PayPal...

OK... Here's one for you guys... The powerbook batteries are chipped. But does it also include registers for usage... etc? If so, how would one access and read them? I have 3 and would like to part with one, maybe two if the price is right. I'm about to buy a second PowerBook and don't need...

It's not that it's intrusive to the applications... but gets in the way of what you're working on visually. It's inconsistent too... sometimes it's in front, sometimes it's in back. Funny though... the first thought that crossed my mind was that it did it to non-microsoft applications because it...

Howdy, I've noticed as of late that Entourage (Office X) has the odd habit of being intrusive with other applications. I haven't watched it specifically but here's what's going on... Open Entourage and close the main window so it's not docked but still running. I have a schedule that runs...

BlingBling... Nice start for a personal website. I'll have to watch it and see how things develop... I do have a couple of suggestions... 1) Do you really need the banner ad at the bottom? It doesn't really match the site and is distracting from the main content... which of course...
