    iPhone coming to Ireland

    hang on, i thought that that was the only feature gained from having a 'close carrier relationship'? visual voicemail my arse. it's a non-feature.

    What is this "LED" screen in the new Macbook Pro?

    I stopped backing up to dvd a few years back, after i realised that optical media is just not as reliable as it claims to be. what appears to happen on a massive data write is a small amount of corruption, that i've only ever happened across on DVD's, and it's not isolated cases, or isolated...

    What is this "LED" screen in the new Macbook Pro?

    i wouldn't hold your breath for built in blu-ray, to be honest. apple likes to make well-thought out but radical jumps forward, and i think it's a fairly high possiblity that apple may forego Blu-Ray altogether, relying on faster internet and wireless capabilities and plummeting hard disk and...

    PS3 EyeToy vs. built-in iSight? Do I have a choice??

    actually, apple's more recent iSight's have been full 1.3mp 1280x960 sensors, so are therefore far superior to the Eye. what you will also find is that all that effort would result in not much gain... the iSight has a very great strength in that it's part of apple's closed loop compatibility...

    Need some help with a iShuffle

    what you can do is create a new user on your mac (or on windows). this will have a clean itunes on it, which you can have as your mother's itunes library. this way you can keep your music seperate from your mum's, and everyone's happy. just log in to the alternative account to sync your...

    10.5.2

    seems buggier now. screensavers are having problems. itunes artwork saver has been updated, but for some reason when it comes on as a screensaver (ie not 'test'), it stutters and changes to the 'computer name' screen saver for some reason. i've also had problems with the spectrum saver...

    AppleTV HD movie rentals cost $16 each

    i've just switched from a limited to an unlimited/fair usage plan, and i can't see a downside yet. it's tied in with my mobile phone network, and for 8gb unlimited, it's £7.50 (USD $14.99) a month. i've not seen cheaper, and all the reviews i've seen have been 4-5 stars. o2, if you're...

    MP3 and 160Gb I-Pod

    that's absolute twaddle. 40gb was always rated at 10,000 songs, 20gb was rated at 5,000 songs, and 4-5gb was rated at 1,000 songs. 60gb was 15,000 songs.

    Challenge! Feelin' Lucky, PUNK?

    does any drive work internally within the iBook?

    MP3 and 160Gb I-Pod

    fyi, 160gb is assuming 1kb is 1,000 bytes, which it isn't really, it's 1,024 bytes. so for every kilobyte, you lose 24 bytes, effectively. this means that an 80gb hard drive is actually 74gb usable, and i'd guess a 160gb HDD at about 148gb usable after it's been formatted.

    Next MacWorld Agenda

    it's not going to happen, but i could really use the Mac Pro line to be updated, the prices on there havent changed since august 2006. if i'm going to drop £1500 on a machine, i want more than 1gb of ram, and a geforce 7300 is just rubbish. integrated graphics are better than [ ]300...

    How do i go back to the OS prior to TIGER??

    btw while we're here, what is MisterMe's problem, can we have an intervention or something? everything he seems to say is inflammatory, arrogant and obnoxious, doesn't paint this 'help and support' site in a very nice way....

    How do i go back to the OS prior to TIGER??

    exactly. Nixgeek, that's something you'd expect from MisterMe, but not from a helpful person like yourself.

    Classic OS9 in Leopard

    yup. Leopard is more like Mac OS 8.5 was to Mac OS 8. it's very much evolutionary, not revolutionary. new things here and there, and some bugs and incompatibility, but generally it's built on the same pinnings as 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4.
