    Can I create a web AV stream using iChat AV?

    Sweet. Thanks for the tip. I think I'll try to do it for free first (since I'm only trying to monitor my dogs) lol. But I'm very happy to learn about those Axis products. regards, Beta

    Hi there, I re-initialized a hard drive on an iMac G5 using the system CD that came with the machine. After re-initializing the hard drive, I tried to re-install 10.4, and the hard drive doesn't appear capable of taking the OS. It looks like regular silver hard drive in the installer...

    Need help with crazy idea - dog monitor / isight / ichat

    Thanks... VNC though won't allow me an audio feed.. so my plan is to use VNC to connect to the machine, but only to initiate an iChat AV audio/video connection to my machine at work, and then monitor the dogs through iChat AV, so, even if they're not in the camera's field of view, I'd still be...

    Iphone no compared to Zune

    I would love to see good handwriting and speech recognition in this device. Even if the virtual keyboard is awesome, it would be nice to have the option to break out a stylus and write quickly in natural script or be able to speak into the phone and have the voice decoded into text.

    Iphone no compared to Zune

    I honestly don't care whether Cingular is an inferior service. I'm ready to toss Verizon (who has a habit of crippling their products) in the trash and switch over to Cingular. In my opinion, the iPhone is, hands down, the best product I've seen in a very, very long time, electronic or not...

    Recommendation request -- teaching Mac OS X to a senior citizen

    I have a bit of a challenge on my hands. We went out and bought my parents a Mac. They're up there in the years (upper 70s, early 80s), and this is their first computer. While they *are* doing pretty well with it, I didn't anticipate how many aspects of using a computer would make...

    Hi there, I got sick of my Apple Pro Keyboard because keys would become hard to press especially if you didn't come straight down on the keys.. I love my powerbook keyboard, so someone recommended the Icekey by MacAlly. I loved it at first, but after some time, it is starting to KILL my...

    Number of Clients 10.3.9 vs. 10.3 server 10.4 server -- can I increase the # ?

    I figured out the answer... OS X can handle 10 concurrent connections. OS X server unlimited can handle more... I have 10.3.9 on the machine.. if I purchase OS X server unlimited, I can install a layer of server over 10.3.9 non-server. Or, I can do a fresh install of server unlimited and...
