    extreme slowness...

    When I leave my mac on for a few hours and resume work again, I am unable to use the computer for about 2 minutes because it is doing something very disk intensive. After that, the mac runs fine. I am unable to pin point the problem.. Any suggestions?

    Please don't call it a Macintosh

    On the basis that Intel pumps out more CPUs than IBM does. Hence, you'll see newer products from Mac more often. Instead of waiting for nvidia or ati to make a special mac video card, why not use what PC's use? Nvidia and ATI make more video cards for the pc market at a much faster rate than...

    Please don't call it a Macintosh

    I am actually excited about the Intel switch. With dual core 64bit cpus coming out, I think we will see a nice speed increase. I predict a wider range of video cards, smaller laptops and hopefully tablet macs... For the people that whine about the intel CPU, I can bet that when Steve Jobs...

    how easy is OS X Server / Xserve to manage?

    Hi. I noticed your chicago based. Do you colocate your server? If so, can you share who you colocate with ? I'm looking for colo in chicago myself and having a hard time finding good service / price ratio ;-)

    Icon View

    I tried that program, but it only works if the text is below the icon instead of to the right. I guess there is no work-around for this. Finder needs some major improvements...

    Icon View

    Hi. Sorry about late response. I think there is confusion as to what I'm trying to explain. I am aware of resizing columns and windows. This is not in the list or column view. This is in the "icon" view. To illustrate, here is another screenshot, showing you the window resized, etc...

    Icon View

    Is there a way to increase the amount of visibile characters in a file when in Icon View? I've made my icons the smallest size possible, but finder still truncates them. Is it possible to mimick windows' list view? Here is a screenshot of what I mean: I'd like to have the complete...

    itunes to movies

    We all know iTunes is a big success w/ legal music downloads. We need something like itunes, but for movies. Streaming movies is no good. It would have to be a service where you keep the movie and are allowed to burn it to DVD. Is something like this in the works by Apple or someoen else...
