    Mac to use Intel Chips!

    True, though it's hard to image with Darwin already running on Intel x86 and etc. that Apple will be able to truly lock OS X up into their own hardware. They will make it very difficult and unsupported no doubt, and perhaps inaccessible to the non-geek, but I can't believe we'll have to wait...

    Mac to use Intel Chips!

    Brian -- they are providing "Rosetta" to allow PPC apps to run on Intel-based Macs transparently. No recompile needed. Also, if you just bought Motion and Apple is touting how easy it is to port a program, don't you think they'll release a free update with a universal binary? By 'official'...

    Mac to use Intel Chips!

    What are you talking about fjdouse? The Mac you just bought is going to keep on working just like you expected it to when you purchased it. The only noticeable change for you should be that your favorite computer company may get increased marketshare. Well, that's debatable, but either way...

    It's The End Of The World As We Know It

    The only sad thing about this is that IBM couldn't keep up. I've wished for Apple on Intel for a long time -- http://macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?p=189374#post189374 Two Reasons: 1. Converts -- a near-full-speed VirtualPC (no more processor emulation) 2. Competition -- AMD and Intel...

    Mac to use Intel Chips!

    YES! THIS IS AWESOME!! Can't wait to convert every business I support! But Apple -- you *have* to make your own VirtualPC!

    Mac to use Intel Chips!

    This would be the most incredibly awesome thing I could hope for on the Mac. I cannot count how many times I have not been able to even suggest 'switching' to business clients because they have _current_ software that is Wintel only and is _not_ likely ever to go Mac, with no feasible...

    Transparent Desktop Images

    So couldn't you use an iSight to create a similar but LIVE effect? Maybe not the whole desktop, but at least a decent sized square in the middle could be a live iSight/webcam shot (mounted on the back of your LCD screen), yeah? I mean, people have hacked OS X so that you can use screen savers...

    cant log onto my mac - HELP

    Is it OS X version 10.2 or later? If so you can hold down shift while booting and it should boot into safe mode. If nothing else, that should allow you to get your files and do some debugging. From there you should also be able to create a new user and then when you reboot see if OS X will...

    Firefox growth stalls?

    Should Apple Ride the FireFox Wave?

    When Apple released Safari in 2003 nothing big was really happening on the browser scene (on the surface at least), and at the time theirs was the biggest browser news out there. No one can blame them from not being able to forsee the Firefox explosion, but it's here now. Just compare...

    Apple burns faithful for $1 per iPod

    btw, for the "just grovel and be grateful for the price-drop!" crowd -- did you notice that they also dropped the dock? Anyway, I still don't get the 'you can't complain because you have to be grateful for the price drop' attitude... I do, however, get that Apple is moving on and...

    Apple burns faithful for $1 per iPod

    Wait, ok, that logic just seems wrong for some reason to me... 'Apple just dropped the price by more than $19, so where do I get off complaining about having to pay $19 more than everyone else'...? Is that the gist of it? Somehow that logic doesn't make sense to me...

    Apple burns faithful for $1 per iPod

    http://www.macnewsworld.com/story/40902.html Saving money and moving on to new technology is fine...but to burn millions of Mac fanatics with an extra $19 charge in order to save $1/iPod....seems a little harsh to me. My TiBook 1GHz will force me to pay an extra $19 for any iPod now. Is...

    USB Overdrive

    Best multi-button mouse software for the Mac. Period. Much better than what MS or Logitech or Kensignton puts out with their products. Great for the button-hungry power-user! Made by Alessandro Montalcini, distributed by Senlick Ltd. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/13443
