That sounds like the "hidden" disk diagnostic mode. I'm not sure why it would happen out of the blue, usually you have to get to it by pressing a certain combination of buttons right after a reset. One of the iPod sites like ipodding.com would have a lot more information about this mode, I've...

I've been looking forward to this program for quite a while, too, since my fiance is in Germany right now, and she'll be in Austria next year. She's got an iBot firewire cam, and we've had success (sometimes) using the latest iVisit alpha for X. But I knew that Apple's solution would be 100...

This question was sort of asked on another topic, but I didn't see any answers. Do the new Quartz Extreme features (like Expose) run at a decent speed on a video card like the 32 MB Radeon in the iBooks, or does it look like the specs for these new features will require more juice? My thinking...

Yeah, it did sound a little odd when I read it, and it probably wouldn't be all that useful (who knows what software would actually run on it). I wouldn't trust any beta version of an OS on my primary machine, even OS X, but I know that the Carracho servers are already soliciting copies. On...

I haven't had a chance to watch the entire keynote yet, just bits and pieces, but there was a little bit on a TechTV article that said that there would be an option to preview Panther before it went gold. I know that full ADC members will be seeded builds as time passes, but is there going to...

Unfortunately, Blizzard is about the only big company who codes for both the Mac and Windows platforms, and I think that Warcraft 3 is the first game that shipped for both at the same time. Before, they shipped the Windows version first, then sometimes a Mac-only version, then a hybrid later...

i would have tried installing it internally as you suggested, but the only rig I've got handy is my iBook. I'm not sure what part of the hard drive actually tells the computer how big it is, whether it's something on its circuit board, firmware, or what. I just thought that perhaps I had...

I've got a Pyro firewire enclosure that I've been using with a Toshiba DVD-Rom drive, but I just swapped that out with an 80 GB WD 7200 RPM hard drive. OS X is reporting the drive as a 128 GB ADS drive (ADS, I guess, because the enclosure is by ADS Tech.). The problem is that Disk Utility will...

The latest episode of "24" had a character open up an older G4 tower to remove a hard drive with some incriminating evidence on it. The only thing that seemed a little off, maybe, was that it showed her detaching the power and IDE cables and removing it, but not unscrewing the hard drive from...

The price listed on the CompUSA site for iLife is not real. For some reason, they use the estimated release date as the price on things that haven't officially been released yet, hence $125.03 for January 25th, 2003. They did the same thing with Jaguar last year, although I don't know why they...

The noise sounds like crumpling paper to me. Figured it was just a special 'Empty Trash' sound. It's probably throwing you because X doesn't have many different sounds for events without installing a third-party app. Rat
