I'm picking my MacBook up tonight. I need to order 2gigs of ram, but wondering what everyone's preference is on the brands... I know Crucial is the overall favorite, but wondering about peoples' opinions/experiences with Ultra OtherWorldComputing Thanks in advance for everyone's input.

you bet. In fact, there are apple scripts about, that will allow you to label all folders in one quick step, rather than a manual exercise that could take you some time to complete. I'm not in front of my powerbook right now, so I can't remember what it's called. But google a bit, or ask...

Cocoa Tech makes a product called Pathfinder. It's a replacement for the relatively poor Finder. It will allow you to sort by folder, file, app, etc. Very nice. Coming from the windows world, I had the same gripe. But Pathfinder will help alleviate the issue. If you don't want to pay for...

interestingly enough, pacifist wouldn't work on the Apple install pkgs. But When I went to the Receipts folder, I just moved the iPhoto.pkg and I could install it from the DVD (finally). Thanks for getting me on the right path. things are well again...

iPhoto's been causing me lots of brain damage lately, so I trashed it, with the intent of re-installing it. But when I put my iLife 05 DVD in and choose to Customize the install, iPhoto is grayed-out. It's not an option for me to install. What files might I be missing or how can I get it...

you're the best Bob. thanks, I'll check it out.

I'm trying to video chat with my grandparents who just got a new iMac G5 (w/ built in iSight). problem is, whenever either of us sends a video chat request to the other, and we accept, it will say "Starting Video Chat" for a few seconds, and then return the message, "Failed because:[my...

thank you for the replies. i saw your compile instructions when I searched, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't something in place already. off I go. thanks again

MySQL is or is NOT installed in Tiger? if it is already on board, how do I access it? what do I need to do to start creating my own DBs, set passwords, etc, etc, etc? this has gotta be the noobiest question, sorry. Hopefully someone can help - I'm trying to do some Ruby on Rails...

I've dropped the price I'm looking for, to $1400. Let me know if interested. thanks - quiksan/nick

I'm looking for $1700, but I'm flexible. The system recently (within the last couple months) had the screen replaced via applecare due to bright spots when I bought it - so the screen is just about BRAND NEW. There's applecare left on it until April 2006 Ram is 1.5gb, there are 2...

I don't see HBO and similar networks selling their exclusive shows on iTunes. For exactly the reason FARV states - You'd cancel your cable/satellite subscriptions and just grab the iTunes shows. I think the networks would much rather have a monthly inroad to your home/wallet rather than the...

vBulletin forum and community software has a default layout/design. the design can be skinned to look however. Look long enough, and you'll see a lot of vBulletin powered sites that look similar.

if the movie you're watching isn't in widescreen format - 20" and larger LCD's ARE widescreens... - then the movie image will be square, leaving some extra space on your display. not the end of the world. it works just the same on any monitor/display. you can watch square ratio movies, or...

I've read a number of reviews of the 20" cinema and Dell's 20" display. (They use the SAME LCD part, did you know that?) I just got my Dell 20" in the mail and have it as a dual for my 17" powerbook. It's fantastic. no complaints at all. save yourself the money, or spend a few $$ more and...

yeah, don't get a normal, CRT TV as your display. I'd only consider a TV if it was a High Definition LCD or something like that. The HD resolution capability is the only chance you've got of getting the proper display resolution to maximize your computer's output. (plus it's more likely to...

And in somewhat related news.... Way to go Vista, for going with a brushed metal UI! should be the new hotness for sure! hahaha

well if you want the actual experience of doing it, then google, or search around del.icio.us a little bit. there's TONS of good tutorials. On the other hand, if you just want it installed to USE, check out MAMP. It's free, and installs in a clean, standalone folder. So it's easy to remove...

it's not a very good photoshopped image. but at first glance you go, "whaaaaa?"
