    The Gimp

    This is starting to get Off Topic "Unix & X11" EasyCrop by YellowMug Software is shareware that can crop, rescale, rotate, etc an image. The interface is very intuitive once you comprehend the graphical nature. The only 100% free alternative in Panther is to use AppleScript, which can be a...

    Apple is right on security...shut up

    Guess What! Akamai have released details about how their network deals with this sort of thing! InfoWorld have an article up ATM. Diversity, Diversity, Diversity. This is why the Opensource Open Development Process is so Secure. While a Microsoft Server is almost definitely running IIS and...

    Happy Independance Day, Iraq!

    I just hope our Australian troops are out by Christmas. The only way that is going to happen is if; 1) Iraq has stabilised no longer needs International Assistance. 2) Our Sycophantic little Turd of a PM loses the up-and-coming election. The US, UK and Australia should never have gone to...

    why the long wait for tiger?

    They'll probably release 10.5 just prior to Longhorn too. This will steal some of MS's Thunder, if just prior to Releasing their Revolutionary new OS, they Biggest Competitor in the Desktop Consumer Market releases a new OS which makes the features in their Revolutionary new OS appear ancient...

    Tiger Preview - no new bar?

    What about Sync Sertvices? Is it a replacement, or Supplement for iSync? Will a Third Party Developer be able to make an iSync Conduit for a PocketPC/Palm/3rd Party Disk Hosting service (like .Mac)? I know Sync Services offers Third Party Developers the ability to Create Conduits for their...

    Apple also stole Launchbar.

    Dominic designed HFS+. Previously he designed BeFS. He's currently working on Finder. Pavel wrote most of the BeOS Tracker (equivalent to Finder/Explorer). He's currently working on Finder. While Spotlight and the related features may not be as powerful as Tracker/BeFS, it will certainly be...

    Apple also stole Launchbar.

    IIUC, Launchbar and Quicksilver use their own Proprietary Database, rather that HFS+ If Apple are ripping anyone off with Spotlight, it would be BeOS, but since Be Inc. is now no longer existent, Big deal. Apple haven't ripped off LaunchBar or Quicksilver (which is better, IMHO), they have...

    Syncing iCal without .Mac?

    There is a project going, but hasn't really proceeded for a while. Until Apple release a SDK for new plugins for iSync, I don't see a solution happening any time soon.

    Use GMail and Safari as Default Email Reader (Wishful Thinking?)

    The only way I could see is if you had a Programming friend to make a Wrapper for GMail, and then specify the Wrapper Program as the default Email Client. This wrapper would launch the default Web Browser to the "Compose Mail" webpage every time you click on a mailto: link. This Wrapper...

    Non-Apple iDisk

    Alternatively, if you have a computer in your house which you can use as a server, you could Roll-Your-Own. I wouldn't recommend it for a newbie though. This guy has been working on it for a few years (on-and-off) and still hasn't got a flawless system running.

    Bluetooth Update

    I hope you're being sarcastic. Yes, It was a major Reason why I upgraded my Computer to a Mac. At the time, I couldn't sync my T68i with any of my computers easily. I heard about iSync, and that it supported the T68i over Bluetooth. I did some research, went straight to my local AppleCentre...

    iBook - G3 v. G4

    Not only Performance improvement, but Stability improvement too. I'm planning on upgrading my iBook G3 800MHz to a 1GHz G4 next week, after the Logic-Board Fried itself for the 3rd Time. (The other time It was in the shop was for a faulty Backlight & Reed Switch). Both these flaws were fixed in...

    USB Wi-Fi adaptor compatibility?

    Even if you get it working with your iBook, USB WiFi will provide really poor Performance, and will chew up you Battery. YOu'll also have to take it out every time you put your laptop away. My external USB Dongle is shaped like a Banana from before I started taking it out before I put the 'book...

    loading OS10.3 onto ibook

    The update from 10.0 to 10.1 was free wasn't it? You might be able to acquire a copy if you ask the Guys at your local AppleStore. Not as good as 10.3, but Legal.

    Apple toys with media

    I'm still waiting for them to sign "Genre B. Goode", "Way Over There", "Shagpile", "Giant Claw", "Time Bomb" and "Au-Go-Go". I Suppose, I'll have to wait for iTMS Australia… At least with iTMS Europe we may see "Warp Records" soon. I wonder if they're going to be available in the iTMS US.

    Does more RAM = more battery time? (iBook G4)

    There is no realistic way to compare the power consumption of a Machine with extra RAM against a Machine with Minimum RAM. Logically, however, the Power saved by not Swapping to the HDD as often would well-and-truely outweigh the power saved by having one less RAM Module. I don't use a...

    Ye olde tale of the FireWire enclosure ...

    Congratulations! I did the same thing a few months ago, and use mine as a scratch-disk for video editing. Also, nice religion. (goes off to celebrate Winter Solstice in Southern Hemisphere)

    Print Server: both Express & Extreme. Access Point: Express (10 clients), Extreme (50 clients) WDS: both Express & Extreme. Audio Streaming: Express only. WAN connection (for connecting to an ADSL or Cable Modem or Existing Network.): Express and Extreme LAN connection (for connecting Wired...

    Auto-switching between airport networks?

    What you are needing is WDS, which all Apple AirPorts support, but are somewhat of a Rarity with other WiFi APs (Access Points). They allow one AirPort to be a DNS Server, while the other works as a Passive AP on the same network. The same IP Address can be used on either Basestation. What...
