    Sony Mini DV - Mac Compatible

    I edit video all the time (oh... it's my job!), and I use Handbrake all the time. If you crank up all of Handbrake's settings to the best quality you can, the results are perfectly acceptable. (Not great, but good) Handbrake will let you rip the DVD (or mini DVD, if your Mac has a tray-loading...

    10.5 Finder's Tabbed Browsing

    Hmmm... interesting twist on the Finder... assuming one would be able to drag from a window up to a tab, down to another folder.... this could be quite useful... :D

    File Archiving..??

    Or, alternatively, burn a data DVD..... but, assuming you don't have a Superdrive, you could find a friend who has a Superdrive on their computer and transfer the files from your computer to theirs via FireWire Target Disk Mode, which allows your Mac to act as a "dumb" hard disk you can plug...

    AIM for Mac

    When you put your Mac in sleep mode, the whole computer is MOSTLY "off." The hard drive spins down, power is turned off to certain ports.... the only things that really get power are the processor and the RAM. As a precaution, any IM software worth it's salt will automatically sign you off as...

    2gigs of RAM will fix all my problems right?

    Not only that, it will bring world peace. Doves will fly free. World leaders will offer each other olive branches. The rich will give to the poor, the happy will smile with the sad, and Jesus and Pals will have a nice organic meal of fish and fine wine. Seriously, Yes. RAM will greatly improve...

    What program do I want for making hip-hop beats?

    What do Macheads read?

    Nah. Women would then just hate the woman who wrote it. Basically, the book is based on the theory that, in order get a healthy dose of poon, you must be an a**hole, because women dig a**holes. (lol. Sad, but very often true.) I, personally, am not an asshole. Nor do I intend to be one. I think...

    What do Macheads read?

    For the most part, I am just NOT into fiction. But I do love books that are intellectual, entertaining, or both... past reads in no particular order.... Stupid White Men by Michael Moore, Lies and the Lying Liars who tell them by Al Franken, The Know-It-All by A. J. Jacobs... Curent reads...

    Can you recover item from empty trash?

    There MIGHT be.... The more that computer is used, the more likely it is that you will NOT be able to recover it. Do NOT use the computer. Purchase a utility like Techtool Pro for Mac, boot from the TechTool CD, and use it's recovery mechanism to recover it. Good luck.

    Webcams and Mac?

    If you're talking about hardware, your best bet is ANY webcam with a FireWire interface. On the subject of software, however, you're pretty much limited to Apple's iChat for video-conferencing with fellow AIM and iChat users. I hear things about yahoo messenger, but have never heard of it...

    IMAC for FCP studio show me the way

    Go ahead, max out that iMac's RAM as much as you can... but... don't worry about it. Final Cut is not as RAM-instensive as Adobe After Effects or Apple Motion... if the vast majority of your work is going to be editing in Final Cut... worry not. Your system's speed and RAM are fine. Hard...

    SketchUp for OS X released

    Just for the record... Sketchup has existed for Mac OS X for a while... it's just that Google bought it, and has now released a free version. It's SO easy to use. How spiff.

    Just saw "Cars"...

    And I would just like to say that John Laseter is one of the most amazing story-tellers of our time. The story is truly inspired (actually, it was inspired by a road trip that he took with his family, according to "AutoWeek"... and you can tell he is a car-lover), and you absolutely HAVE to see...

    Do Mac users support GW Bush?

    A poll was taken during the 2004 election, and the ONLY European country whose majority of people would have voted for George W. Bush was.... Poland. [Insert Polish joke here]
