    PDF file commenting

    Yes, exactly, this is what I want! Thank you very much! It would be nice to have a 'red arrow', but perhaps Apple can add that in later. I guess it doesn't want to intrude too much into Adobe's feature set.

    PDF file commenting

    Attached is a screen shot from Adobe Reader Help and Document Properties for my CV in PDF format generated by OpenOffice 2.2. The document properties for the other PDF's are the same as my CV. Adobe Reader should be able to add comments to PDF files according to the documentation. I think...

    WWDC 2007. thoughts? guesses?

    I like everything but the new dock. The new dock is overkill on the eye candy. C'mon! 3D appearance with reflections!!? There essentially is nothing new for the dock functionally other than 'fanning' documents or seeing the entire contents of folders in the dock in a graphical way. The...

    How do you turn-off PDF security? It's not an option in Mac OS X as far as I know.

    I'm a scientist and have my CV, research summaries, and project presentations in PDF format. I use primarily OpenOffice.org 2.2 for my CV, Microsoft Word for research summaries, and PowerPoint for presentations. After printing these documents to PDF format, I would like to add comments to...

    IBM launches POWER6 chip at 4.7 GHz

    Given Apple's great talent for porting its code to other processor platforms, I think it would have been a better deal for the consumer for Apple to add Intel, not just switch from IBM PowerPC. This way the consumer could reap the benefits of whichever processor was king-of-the-hill either...

    How do you manage your passwords

    I work in a corporate environment and am required to change my password ever 3 months, so I resort to using the names of characters from TV shows or books in combination with numbers. On my Macintosh at home I have only one password that I've ever used, and on the web, I use a version of just...

    Can iTunes capture a list of artists and song title/album from a radio stream?

    Can iTunes capture a list of artists and song title/album from a radio stream? The reason I'm asking is that this can be a pretty efficient way to scan through a list of music from one of my favorite streaming radio stations (SmoothJazz.com - The Global Home for the Smoothest Jazz 24/7 - Live...

    Your guesses on Secret Leopard functionality

    The eye candy looks nice for about 10 minutes, but when one is working hard and trying to get things done to meet a dead line, I don't like WAITING for the GUI to 'get with the program' just to look COOL. I wouldn't mind the eye candy, as long as I have control over it and can disable it in a...

    Your guesses on Secret Leopard functionality

    I think that touch screen LCD displays for desktop/laptop could be useful for some things, but not as a primary user interface - it's great for iPhone. I couldn't imaging reaching for my display as the primary user interface - the shoulder strain, arm fatigue, and the time required to...

    How do you read .ps files?

    Apple's Preview application automatically converts Adobe .ps files to PDF. At least it did back in 2002 through 2004.

    iTunes Store Unavailable Again?!!!

    I was listening to an MP3 from SmoothJazz.com while trying to access the iTunes Music Store. This is actually the first time that I could not access it for some anomalous reason. Immediately after posting this, I could maneuver around inside the store, but could not perform searches... strange.

    iTunes Store Unavailable Again?!!!

    Is Apple having problems with the iTunes Music Store again? Demand too high again? Never thought I'd get this error, I don't buy music from it, but I use it for finding music to buy on CD. Anyone else having trouble this evening (1/15/2007) accessing iTunes Music Store?

    How much do you pay for broadband?

    Comcast Cable. I think is 6Mbps, I can download about 900KB/s consistently, and I have VOIP (voice over IP - good-bye old ma' bell!!! - no more funky communications/access charges) - about $67/month. No long distance charges, phone conversations are VERY clear! The entire phone system in the...

    Iphone no compared to Zune

    I think that the iPhone is a quantum leap ahead in personal communication compared to the competition, in many ways, but in other ways it falls short. I think that for personal use it will work well, but for corporate environments, it's not quite there yet. Many corporate environments forbid...

    iChat/iSight errors

    Ever since I upgraded to Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.7, iChat doesn't work with my iSight camera correctly. The iSight camera will not turn-on (green light on its top) when I rotate the shutter open, however, when rotating the shutter open, iChat launches and logs me on to the AIM network. When I use...

    Where are you?

    No, no, this is not quite right... but more appropriately, a non sequitur. Apesh*t is simian (biologically) processed bananas. ;-) Take a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simian

    Dictionary.app not working in my user account

    Thank you both, bobw and Mikuro. The problem was just that simple, those arrows on the left side were collapsed, all I did was click on them to expand them. Is there a keyboard shortcut that could have done this in the firt place? The reason I ask is that my cat, gets on my desk all the time...
