    Yeah, internal speakers. Headphoes sound okay.

    Speakers popping!

    For some crazy reason my left hand speaker keeps cutting out in a 'helicopter-rotor' kind of way. You know a duh-duh-duh-duh kind of way. It doesn't start straight away and my powerbook is only a month old. This is the third mac in a row I've had that's developed a fault early on. If there's...

    iPod Color - Yay or Nay

    Why not just review them on your camera, (with a larger memory card), and then view them on your computer when you get home? I agree with you regarding the fact that some people will find the picture viewer useful though.

    iPod Color - Yay or Nay

    First off I have to say that I like these exchanges that occur shortly after Apple release a new product. It’s great to see that people are so interested and passionate about a company and it’s products. With regards to the new photo-iPod and a possible video-iPod, I can see that the debate will...

    Dead pixels.

    Hi all, how common is this whole 'dead pixel' thing at the moment? I've just had my powerbook nicked and apparently over here in the UK there's a 2-3 week wait for them but I've managed to find one at Selfridges. My only concern is that the last two Apple computers I've owned both had screen...

    Damn! I've just damaged my powerbook.

    Rather stupidly I knocked my powerbook on the corner of my table when fishing it out of my bag and it's bent the side panel with all the sockets. I now can't get anything into the USB port. Anyone got any ideas? It's still under warranty, will Apple fix this for me or is it knackered?

    It also gets bloody hot.

    Powerbook G4 battery life.

    How long is the battery in a powerbook G4 supposed to last as mine seems to last approximately one hour whilst running and using Photoshop. Is this normal? Also, does anyone have any tips for extending battery life.

    Attachments in mail.app

    It's mostly gif files. I think it may have something to do with the fact that the recipients are using Lotus Notes and they're PC monkeys.

    Attachments in mail.app

    I've been experiencing a lot of problems, (or more importantly others are experiencing the problem), regarding attachments in mail. Some are able to detach the attachments and some aren't. Obviously those using a mac or mail have no trouble but most who use a PC, do. It's driving me spare, it's...

    UK iTunes Music store IS NOW LIVE

    Does anyone know how regularly the back-catalogue will be updated? What was the situation with the American store? I haven't found a great deal I'd like to purchase just yet, there's no Orbital, no Divine Comedy & no Jacquline Du Pre... I guess these things will come later - hopefully. Also...

    UK iTunes Music store IS NOW LIVE

    I don't see that. The music store page in iTunes, the Apple store page or the Music store page on the Apple site? I've got a version of the music store in iTunes that doesn't have prices and a load of links that say the album isn't available in my country. Is that the UK store? Where are the prices?

    UK iTunes Music Store advert

    The point I was making regarding cost is that if they go with costs based on the stock markets then, yes, $9.99 will be closer to £6.00 but that's not always the case. All that aside the BBC Breakfast program has just run a feature on this using the launch of iTMS as a focus and it raised a...

    UK iTunes Music Store advert

    Hmmm... I was giving this some thought yesterday evening after I'd heard the news about the launch of iTMS in the UK and I've discovered that I'm in two minds regarding the problems Apple are having with the independent labels. I have always been an advocate of the 'little guy' and will usually...

    Microsoft: we'll sell music players that are better than the iPod

    There certainly isn't a tie between the iPod and the music store in Europe! Just as an aside, having looked through the US iTMS and found it very low on artists like Orbital, how often are tracks & albums added?

    Microsoft: we'll sell music players that are better than the iPod

    Surely it makes no odds if MicroSoft release a cheaper player, it happens all the time. Something innovative is produced and a short while later something cheaper appears. The biggest things the iPod & Apple have going for them with the iPod are the design and the 'name'. The Playstation was...

    English dictionary.

    Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, apologies if it isn't. Does anyone out there know how I can get Word in Office X to use the UK English dictionary? It looks as if it is but I'm still having the old 'colour - color' problem.

    iBox

    In all seriousness how likely do we think it is that there really will be such a device as the oft-romoured iBox? All the rumour and speculation would lead us to believe that it's gonna be a corker but will it ever actually materialise.

    BBC Article about Safari security hole

    I think it's more the fact that it is actually 'news' for macs to have a problem. Also BBC only speak of a 'theoretical vulnerability'. A BBC fan
