does anyone see all of this as a direct assault on Microsoft? I mean, they have improved AddressBook and Mail.app to the point where it can rival Entourage. And now, with all the iSync stuff, it seems liek they are really looking to make an integrated package of apps to allow you to manage...

20GB iPOD announced! whoo-hoo!

I dont think this is necessarily true. There IS 3D acceleration in these cards (Rage 128 Pro/Mobility), but the GPU that does the acceleration will not be supported by Quartz Extreme.

I doubt this. The ATi RAGE 128 Mobility in the iBook will most likely not understand the processor calls made by Quartz Extreme. The system will sense the video card installed in your system, then decide whether or not to make the calls to the GPU, or direct them to the CPU. That is, the...

Sorry, us iBook/500 users are stuck with the palty 8MB we started with. No way to upgrade. BUT... I still think any iceBook, even with 8MB of VRAM, will be just great on 10.2. Right now, even on 10.1.5, performance is just fine. It may not be as snappy as in 9.2.2, but I'll wager your...

An excellent Beatles reference "in [its] own write"

...sorry for the last post. I see the issue has been resolved above. Silly me for not reading the whole thing first! Oh well, I still got my clever Beatles reference in there:D

5% = 1/20 Thus, for every 20 total computers, 1 of them is a Mac and 19 OF THEM ARE PCs! Its like the line in The Beatles, "Taxman" '...here's 1 for you, 19 for me...' George is referring to the 95% tax bracket in which he and the other Beatles found themselves in 1966. 1 dollar...

Dont forget, in the last year, Apple has been refining OS X into a proper OS. XP had the advantage of being built on previously well developed platform. Even though OS X is built on NeXTStep, it took a great deal of work to make it gel with the (semi-) traditional MacOS look and feel. Only...

I think we can all agree that stealing is wrong. And piracy is stealing. Even Solrac can see this, no? But that isnt really the point. Your own moral code should tell you whether or not piracy is ok for you. What is being questioned here is whether or not the large companies condone...

...and a SpyMac rumor at that!

I have been watching this discussion patiently, waiting to chime in. My two cents: I have to agree with Solrac in some ways. Take mp3s, for instance. The computer industry exploded in the late-90s because people bought faster computers with faster CD burners so they could download and...

...would anyone STILL need to use Avi2Mov? Use VideoLAN and all your divx/avi watching problems are over. No fuss, no muss. Check it out on VersionTracker. For 3ivx, stick to QT5/6, but for Divx or VCD playback (yes, VCD!!!), there is nothing better than VideoLAN.

Its true. PCs are faster. If Apple/Moto dont get in the game soon, there will be some loss of market share in the high end (i.e. video and photoshop stuff). This much is true. Meanwhile, Apple is gaining like crazy in the mid- and low-range. MacOS X, while not perfect, beats the pants off...

As seen in a local, mainly PC-centric, computer store: "Please note that, contrary to the recent advertisements, Apple's new iMac does not move by itself." Oh my gawd! I asked the salesperson if that was for real, and, lo and behold, it was. Unreal. Now back to our regularly scheduled...

What if, one day, God wanted to bake a cake. And He decided to go down to the grocery store and look for a box of Betty Crocker chocolate fudge. He was so hungry, He said "I think I'll go home and make a cake identical to the one on the box...Yes, I will make a cake in the image of the one on...

that all everyone seems to say is "I'm disappointed"??? It seems that everything Apple does leaves us disappointed. That's because we all expect so much of a company that has given us so many great products over the years. And so we should. But perhaps we shouldnt be so quick to judge. We...

Its what Steve Jobs said the other day...Dell is like WalMart. Its huge, it has everything you really NEED, and its cheap. Sure, you wont find the best clothes there, but you wont be naked either. Apple is like The Gap. The clothes look much better, and are of much better quality, but they...

RAM, RAM, RAM... VPC likes a good fast processor, but it LOVES a good amount of RAM...Connectix suggests 192MB installed in your Mac to run Windows 2000 or XP, but I would suggesting getting at least 392MB (really, this should be the OS X minimum...if you have less and you think your...

I have used Unibrain's "FireNet" on OS 9.2.1 quite successfully to share the cable connection between my iMac and iBook. However, I hate OS 9! I want to use OS X full time (right now, 95%), but I need this one piece of software....any word on when we might see something like this? The site...
