Keep in mind as well that having hotmail makes you have a .NET account. This to me was one of the worst parts of M$ buying Hotmail. Also, M$ recently changed everyone's setting so that they could give our em@il address out (or sell it). If you don't believe me, search the macminute archives for...

Not necessarily- It could be more like the average users who need a simple, intuitive interface would want to go Mac, and everyone else would choose between Mac, Linux, BSD, etc. People who build their own machines from scratch will stop building them for Windows, but still build them. These...

This would make a heck of a lot of sense, seeing as how Apple has repeatedly been giving M$ the shaft lately...the comment about .NET at the Keynote, going with Netscape for its default home page, iChat being AIM and not MSN, and I am sure there is more. I really think Apple is going to take the...

I mentioned this earlier, but as SimX likes real evidence (and maybe azosx will notice too) here is the link: http://www.apple.com/macosx/jaguar/unix.html and here is the quote: Now, as far as I know, this means more apps should start using AltiVec without even meaning to, and performance on...

I thought I read somewhere in Apple's site that the compilers in Jaguar for porting UNIX apps are AltiVec enhanced, so your code is already optimized for the G4. Just mentioning.... perhaps soon all apps will use AltiVec, and our superior processor will really prove itself. Then, just when...

I don't think I could do that, even if I had the money. I customize and organize everything on my cube, and I have so many things changed from the standard starting point of the interface, that the setup time for a new machine every 3 months would be insane.

It was pretty good for all on your own. I actually had changed my login background on my own before I found visage, and I figured out how to change the Computer icon in the Finder Toolbar from ye olde iMac to a nice, transparency-friendly Cube icon (a G4 Cube icon isn't worth much without...

Not to burst your bubble or anything, but we know. There are plenty of instructions for how to do this, but I personally don't like digging around in the System directory or messing with the Terminal, so I downloaded a wonderful tool called Visage. Visage "allows you to easily customize your...

Personally, I only use X. I love it; and Classic is a pain. Anything I need to do I can do in X. My little sister is the only one in my house who uses classic: she likes to play a lot of older games that will never make it to X. The only game I truly miss is Tetris Max (EV with the Star Wars ANA...

maybe I am wrong. I guess I probably am, I don't have a copy of iTunes 1 in front of me, so you two probably know better. I was sure I remembered it having just one note, though.... I will say you guys are probably right, but if I discover otherwise please don't be offended if I post a screenshot.

It's not that it's a PC term, it's that it's a Windows term. The first time I heard the term "Wallpaper" in reference to the Desktop Picture/Pattern was when hearing about Windows. I will always use Desktop Pictures, which makes more sense because one's desktop tends not to be a wall, and both...

Not that it's the important part, but new iTunes makes sense to me. I saw an iTunes icon somewhere on Apple's site (I think somewhere in the AppleScript area) that has 3 music notes on it. Remember, iTunes 1 had one music note, and now iTunes 2 has two. It just make sense to me, that someone...

Ok, so that part of my post was wrong. It was just hapless guessing as to the reason Self-Powered HDs use 6-pin and DV Cameras use 4-pin. Here's some more: maybe the HDs are done that way for consistency, as the bus-powered HDs need 6-pin. DV cameras have their own power, and it is more...

Here's the logic for the 6-pin to 6-pin cable: The port on every Mac is a 6-pin port. in order to plug each end into separate Macs, you need a plug that actually fits; 4-pin ends won't fit properly in a 6-pin port on your machine. The wire[s] that carry power are probably just not used, or are...

I see 3 problems with this argument: 1) The current degradation of morality in our society. Criminal activity is more socially acceptable than ever (my impression from many sources) and this is only getting worse. soon enough, software pirates won't have their conscience nagging at them over...

http://www.macosx.com/ ;) :cool: That's my homepage at home. At school/work, its http://www.appleturns.com :D Seriously, portal sites like my.yahoo.com are useful when I want the info they offer, but why should I start at a page with a link to the first (and due to limited time, often...

I was using it as an example... I rarely listen to that song, as I mentioned I have over 5000 others on my external HD. In fact, I probably should never have participated in this conversation, seeing as how I dislike much of the music I have (of course I like a lot too) and I only keep songs of...

I don't know about the rest of you, but I like to eventually get the CDs. I have 5000+ songs on my external HD, and yes, most of them were downloaded. However, that means that most of them are 128 bitrate, or worse. This is a big deal to me: try the song Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf on CD...

I changed my computer's icon to a Cube icon that I "borrowed" from some icon package (probably the first "World of Aqua" package). just find your Finder.app file, do a "Show Package Contents", dig around th Resources, and find the file called "Computer.icns". My subject is misleading: I did not...
