and omnigraffle and comic life... (OK, comic life is full version, but it still annoys me. i don't want it, so don't install it without asking) Mac's aren't much better in this regard, I agree. Though I will say, at least when you re-install OS X it allows you to install without bundled...

When you select a track from the iTunes library and hit delete, it asks you if you want to "Keep files" or "move to trash". However, if you choose "move to trash", it just deletes it -- it doesn't move it to the trash at all. Either there is some super secret iTunes trash that I don't know...

am i the only one who finds vista's UI tacky? not nearly as bad as Beryl for linux, but not as understated as the Mac. I mean, yes, it does look cooler than the Mac UI, but is that was an operating system should do? Should it look cool with 3D effects and moving desktops and high-contrast...

I'd recommend against Billion. WHile my Billion BiPAC 7404VGP works with my Macs, turning on WPA makes networking or sharing iTunes tracks very flaky indeed (I dont seem to have the same issues in Windows, though I don't use Windows much so I can't say for sure it is limited to Macs). It also...

am I the only one who gets annoyed when I hear people pronounce it "OS Ex" rather than "OS Ten"? maybe i need to get out more.

WO HOO I answered my own question. I found this little gem of a tutorial which outlines how to route DV audio into garageband using soundflower. Works like a frackin' charm :)

I can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere. If I hook up my XLR mic to my Sony PD150, then hook the camera to my MBP through firewire, I can record in Quicktime fine. However when I try the same thing in Garageband it doesn't work (in Preferences, the only 2 options are "in-built mic" and...

the real reason Leopard has been delayed (Joy of Tech)

Engadget coverage it's come at the right time now that Adobe is trying to woo people with the new mac version of Premiere Pro. Seems horribly inadequate now that Apple have shown their cards. So is Color an application or a feature? and will it be called "Colour" in Australia/Britian? ;)

I was listening to a podcast recently where they were reminiscing about HyperCard. This got my very nostalgic myself and thought I'd pose the question: What did you do with HyperCard? I used hyperCard to create animations when I was very young. I would create hundreds of slides -- each being 1...

I do agree, but I think Mikuro makes a good point; while we may be willing to wait, the bigger issue is Apple Inc dropping "computer" not only from their name, but their consciousness. I"m hoping at the very least we get to see those damn "top secret" features at WWDC. I don't mind waiting, so...

I'm bleeding from the ears.

Natobasso, what have you done! You have unleashed a monster! :P :P

Hello mersyone, welcome to the byte side (get it? get it?!)! Officially, tables should only ever be used for data and never for layout. There is no debate about whether or not DIVs are better than tables -- they are -- it's a debate about whether its worth the effort to learn how to layout with...

Unfortunately these petitions rarely, if ever, make an impact. Fryke and major burns are right, though, the real issue here is monopoly. When Adobe bought Macromedia they rid the world of the only serious competition to the Creative Suite. I'm prefer to sign a petition to encourage Apple or...

I have been through 8 earphones since I bought my iPod G5 around 18 months ago. 6 of them were Apple earphones, which are just about the crappiest pieces of junk available. Last time I bought some Sony earphones, which have lasted longer than the apple, but today, after being loose for a...

yes it is a little annoying. I can understand apple's logic, as it prevents acciential loss of data if you cut a file, then copy another before pasting the original file. Now on Windows this cannot happen because when you cut a file it isn't actually cut until you paste it, so you will not lose...

I dont have any documents to back this up, but I had a discussion with a colleague about this very subject. He claims there are two major disadvantages to getting the academic version of adobe software: 1) you cannot upgrade. 2) creating, say, a file in the academic version of...

you make your iPod shuffles big over there ;)

come on, we all know the record companies will spin the piracy numbers whichever way they want to justify their decisions.
