    Newest known Tiger build: Mac OS X 10.4.3 8F8

    Safari also has some problems rendering tables, still. Check out http://www.edmunds.com/zipcode/new/index.html?tid=edmunds.g.home.header..1.* . Hit refresh and the page loads properly. This wasn't an issue with Safari versions prior to 2.0.

    WMP v. 10...

    The two have very different UI's, except for the music store in WMP v.10. They used the apple-style brushed metal interface, no doubt a rip from iTMS.

    [HOWTO] - Use MSN, Yahoo!, or ICQ in iChat (Tiger only)

    Mac/Windows Compatibility Problem in Tiger?

    When I copy tables on a website to Microsoft Word under Tiger, the tables run off of the viewable page area, and when I try opening them on a Windows PC, I get an error saying the tables are corrupt. Additionally, when I paste tables into textedit and view them on a Windows machine, wordpad...

    [HOWTO] - Use MSN, Yahoo!, or ICQ in iChat (Tiger only)

    Through Jabber, which is supported under iChat 3.0, it is possible to login to many popular chat protocols that iChat did not traditionally support. Jabber supports accessing chat networks, such as MSN, Yahoo!, and ICQ, through entities called "gateways." iChat does not directly support...

    OS X on an Intel platform

    Welcome to the forums. Your post should probably be in the Cafe. Apple News, Rumors, and Discussion is for discussion of the latest Macintosh developments only. With that out of the way, it is not currently possible to run OS X's graphical interface on the intel architecture. However, you...

    Safari or Firefox?

    I like Safari much better than anything else. There's no major reason for that, but rather it's the little things that have won me over. Firefox doesn't have native OS X form elements, and although sheer browsing speed is pretty decent, the program itself seems a bit laggy. In my opinion, Camino...

    Browser keep crashing?

    You can probably fix the problem by deleting the .plist (preference) files associated with the crashing programs. To access these files, navigate to Home/Library/Preferences, or in a finder window run a search for "mozilla plist", "safari plist", etc. Delete what you find. Don't worry...

    Why make the jump to Mac?

    In my experience, a carefully maintained XP install can be just as reliable as OS X. I don't think either company particularly has an edge there. Thing is, it's much easier to mess up Windows with spyware and other junkware than it is to do the same in OS X, mainly for two reasons. The first is...

    Hum from Power Supply

    I noticed this for the first time this morning. When I plug in my PowerBook's charger, I hear a constant hum from the power supply. It's not very loud, but it's audible from 6 feet away or so. The laptop still charges fine, and everything seems to be working properly, but I'm pretty sure this...

    Is WEP security good enough for a home wireless network?

    I haven't changed mine since I got my router in 2001, and I live in a very crowded area. Hell, I've had it so long that I've actually memorized the entire thing, and it's a 128 bit key! Haven't had any problems, although I do also use MAC (hardware id's... lol not macintosh) filtering for some...

    dvi out on ibook 12 inch

    You can buy a VGA-DVI adapter for $18 here. DeltaMac's advice is correct though, in that it won't work as well as you might expect.

    Is WEP security good enough for a home wireless network?

    Chances are the average wifi snooper isn't going to know how to break a WEP code, which is worth it in itself. And also, even though it can be done with relative ease by experienced persons, cracking a WEP password takes lots of time and patience, and even more so if the network doesn't receive...

    How do you share internet for email with the firewall on?

    This is a guess. If your mail is a pop account, try opening ports 110 (pop3) and 25 (smtp) on the OS X firewall, as you did with port 443. If you use imap, use port 143 instead of 110.

    Powerbook Updates?

    The battery life on a dual core laptop would be horrendous, and there'd be even more of a heat issue unless they change the design (even the current PowerBook runs hot). At a time when "G4" is sounding more and more antique, I think Apple is probably anxious to start developing a new G5 model...

    Is Linux faster than OSX?

    "Linux" could mean a lot of things. If you're talking about just a command line with a few basic text apps then yes, Linux is faster. If you're talking about a comparable workstation to OS X with X11 and KDE or Gnome, then it's pretty close, but I'd give the prize to OS X, attributing that to...

    Printer settings problem on new iBook

    You can use the CUPS printer manager to specify this. Open a browser and navigate to: http://localhost:631. (no period) You may or may not be prompted for a password. If you are, your OS X user and password should suffice. Now go to the "Printers" tab and you should see the printers you've...
