My experience in those areas (I own both an iBook and a PowerBook) are as follows... 1. Wifi range is good on both. Never had a problem. 2. Battery life is longer on the iBook. 3. iBook's case is tougher. If toughness is important, don't get a PowerBook. The case damages easily (highly...

Call me cynical, but to be honest, I buy more into Fryke's scenario, that this is more of a public relations thing above all. They're probably hoping they'll provoke fuzzy feeling in the hearts of potential iPod buyers, enough to make the sale. If Apple was really interested in helping these...

Because hexadecimal numbers always start with 0x. The dialog boxes that have the drop down option for hex just hide it from you.

Does the windows user "nino" have a password? If so, you need to specify that by doing smb://nino:password@10.0.0.9/C82-Nino If you don't like having your password in plaintext like that, you might consider making a new account on the Windows machine with no password, called "print". =)

nevermind

It's also possible that, for whatever reason, the wireless at the places you were traveling to was malfunctioning. I've stayed at probably five or six hotels that had wireless but didn't maintain it (i.e. the router crashed and nobody knew how to reset it). Also, some places require you to buy a...

I think you may have had 802.11x encryption enabled either on the router or the Mac side, which will cause a periodic disconnect if your router (or your OS) doesn't support it. That would only matter wirelessly though, so it is strange that you had the problem hardwired. Good luck with your new...

If you're using a HEX wep password, you need to type "0x" before it in the password box. (i.e. 0x3b09148a...) ;)

Also, obviously, make sure the card you decide on has Linux drivers available. I'm using a Netgear EZ Wireless Card on one of my desktops, which is working flawlessly under Linux. I'd recommend it if you can find one.

Playing the devil's advocate here for a sec... Windows has had multiple folder sharing built into their GUI for years, in both server and client forms. This entire problem stemmed from LogicMan looking for the right click option he was used to under Windows. Linux, in its purest form...

I believe the new beta of trillian 3 for windows supports this on the AIM protocol. Unfortunately it isn't free. See: http://www.trillian.cc/

The Camino project has a grand total of about 2 programmers working on a regular basis, according to an article I read awhile ago, and they work so slowly at times that it takes months from one final release to the next. If I recall correctly, an entire year elapsed between 0.7 and 0.8...

Firefox's OS X version seems half-assed. It does not utilize OS X's built in spellchecker, it doesn't use Aqua-style form elements, and scrolling lags more than in IE 5. It also doesn't maximize properly, and it doesn't recognize several common OS X file extensions as downloadable. Speed wise...

That's probably because his email is steve@apple.com.

You also might want to try third-party application launchers, like Blacktree Quicksilver. That tool in particular is indispensable to my everyday work. I use it constantly without even thinking about it, and it seems overly difficult to get places when I use Macs without that software...

The maximize feature maximizes to content within the window, instead of filling up the entire screen. Without going into detail, Apple chose this method instead of the "Windows" way because it allows dragging between windows. That in mind, some programs (most of Mozilla's products, for example)...

I fell down some stairs at school today.. and my powerbook went down with me. It was pretty funny actually... and I'm fine, but now there's a big dent in my powerbook's case in the front near the cdrom drive. I was able to flatten it out somewhat with a rubber mallet.. and it's pretty much...

I think I'll go to the mall this weekend and have the Apple Store check it out. I have a feeling that I'll have better luck there. The thing is, I'm a student and it'll be hard to give up my laptop for any length of time while they fix it.

Try resetting the iPod by holding menu and play for a few seconds (that's the way to do it on my old ipod.... I would imagine it hasn't changed.) A simple reset should solve your problem. If it still isn't recognized, try plugging the iPod into the other firewire port on the back of your...
