I picked up a class I dongle off of eBay for about $25, also can be found at http://blueproton.zoovy.com/product/BT100. So far it seems to work fine.

Well, for about $200 more I got an iBook that has nearly the same specs, weighs less, has a longer battery life, doesn't run on a horrible OS, and for an extra $169 I got a 40GB iPod. Does that match up at all favorably? It's good to be an Apple customer and a student.

Safari is faster than FireFox on a reasonably speedy Mac, or at least in my unscientific tests it is. There are some things you can do to speed up FireFox though: type about:config in the address bar. Make the following changes: browser.turbo.enabled true network.http.pipelining true...

Yeah, sadly that is the max. There is a program out there that allows you to exceed that maximum, but only for attached external displays. http://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/ibook_e.html This works great for me as I hook up my iBook to a KVM and drop the screen brightness to zero, but if...

It does make it easier, but I don't think that for your limited needs it's worth $500. I mean, time is money, but I think by investing some time in getting all those things to work under 10.3 client you'd come out ahead.

That's actually a question I've had. I believe the Apple website says to set the EQ to "flat" if you have EQ settings in iTunes. I've always thought that it made more sense to leave the EQ off on the iPod, as everytime you change the EQ setting for a song in iTunes that song is then recopied to...

You can also use an Applescript to remove the artwork for selected song(s). I didn't write this, so kudos to whoever did:

Is this thread a spawn of the Bible on your iPod thing? I'm a devout Christian and I think that: a) This would never in a million years happen and b) if it did it would be a bad thing. The backlash of people feeling that something was being forced on them would be huge, and besides it's...

Dude, why you want to try and bring this cell phone/PDA thread back on topic? What's up with that? You're again trying to create laptop categories where none exist, ie there is no market. Something better than a Powerbook? Like what, a portable Cray? The 17" is already priced out of most...

Eh, I like candybars. I just don't like Nokias. Just got a new Sony Erikson t610 and was not at all deterred by its candybarness.

I trust that you are aware that there may be heat issues with running your laptop with the screen down? Heat is diffused through the keyboard and leaving the lid closed may cause the thing to get too hot, or damage the screen, or both. If you're aware of those risks and don't think it's a big...

That's a good point Fryke. When the iPod came out I thought it was a horrible idea because it was so expensive for what it was (an MP3 player). Well I've been proven horribly wrong on that. *IF* Apple can make a subnotebook that really and truly fits a need I would be for it, not as a new...

So I found an even better solution. I took my iBook to the Apple store here in Dallas and they took it in the back and returned it to me with a nice new foot on it. As they were wandering to the back with it I tried to tell them that I had only had it 4 days when it fell off, but they really...

Software problems? Like what? I got mine from China in some crazy short amount of time, like 3 days FedEx Ground. I was upgrading from a 2nd gen 10GB to a 40GB, so it's been a nice evolution for me. My old case still fits pretty nicely (a touch loose) and I never had to get used to buttons up...

Yuck. Can you say cube? Smaller, less powerful, and most importantly... doesn't fit in the product line. Keep it at consumer laptop and professional laptop. Anything else will not find a market, and I don't think that Apple or anyone can create a market very successfully where none exists.

Sorry if that that subject makes little sense. I shall explain. My biggest beef with Apple laptops is the rubber feet on the bottom to keep things from getting scratched up. My Pismo Powerbook had them all fall off after a few months, I think the heat makes the glue less sticky or something. At...

Ah yes, the sure fire way to answer your own question... post it so that 10 minutes later you can figure it out yourself. If anyone for whatever reason encounters the same problem (and is as ignorant as I am) simply replacing slash (/) with pipe (|) as the delimiter allows the slashes in the...

So in brief here's the situation: I have my Mp3s on my tower. I have iTunes on my laptop pointed to that shared network directory. I have symbolic links to itunes Music Library.xml and iTunes 4 Music Library on both my iBook and my tower. The point being that playlists and whatnot made on the...

You're being funny, right?

I think that's a very liberal interpretation of history to say that stocks were originally sold out of good will towards the person selling the stock, that people invested out of the goodness of their hearts. It was always about making money, and always will be. It's just that now people are...
