I know there are issues pending regarding DRM overseas--but what about this statement's release coinciding with this week's earlier issues with iTunes on Vista? I know people were very, very angry about the DRM/lockdown situation in Vista, generally. Is this a feint to smack Vista around in the...

I think I've learned my lesson. :D Later! Will

The Apple tech took my call (over an hour) and we reset the PMU and held "option" during startup to get the startup disk screen to select a startup disk. Selected it and moved forward. No dice. Same condition. I'm copying my files off of this box now via target firewire mode. The final diagnosis...

Just reporting it in case somebody else finds the same problem. After the 10.4.8 install and restart I had a kernel panic. Now, I cannot get my machine to boot. (Define this as machine will start, gray screen with Apple comes up, disk seems to be reading/writing, then disk stops and machine...

My Leica Digilux 2's RAW format is now supported. (Yay!) Additionally, there appear to be many more cameras' RAW formats supported when compared to 1.0.1. I have not been watching this *too* closely (and I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong), but I'm fairly sure that 1.1 addresses...

Thanks for sharing.

This is interesting: "The vast majority of computer buyers still seem (to me) to base their computer purchasing decision around whether the computer will run Microsoft Word (or rather, Microsoft Office)." I would argue that for most users, the applications *are* the computer. And, the...

Apple Legal had them pull the image from the site. Hmmmm.

You have to give the marketing people that put that QT video together some credit, though. . . . Well done.

Thanks for posting! Helpful.

OMG. Head-shakingly amazing. Thanks for posting this one.

Read this (from the Web site of the comic duo that came up with the parody): --- This is our Mac parody. More than being a simple work of comedic fiction, this parody defines who we are as a people, a nation and ultimately a species. It acts as a tiny reminder of what it means...

On some of the older TiBooks a secondary ENTER key was next to the spacebar, directly to the right. (Instead of the Apple key.) I assume this was for folks who liked to use the numberpad-mapped keys. (I've never used that feature.) On the new TiBooks, the key was remade into the Apple key. It...

Hey! Works very well, in most cases much better than QT 6.1--and it's loaded with features. This is a great player (even with the odd bug or two reported in its console) and handles a wide variety of *previously troublesome* .avi movie files gracefully. Thanks for posting this thread and...

Very, very cool, d8n_two. The designer even made the iBook's on-screen behavior mostly correct. I'm amazed at what the new Flash can do. Thanks for the link.
