Can you imagine all the little School Kiddies with their iPods; They take them to school, hook them up to one of the Classroom eMacs, and Voilá! They automatically have an account on that Computer. When they Unplug their iPod, the Account is removed. They can do their homework on their Mac at...

Firstly, I'd read the Manual for the WGR614. System Reset should be something like hold down the Pin-Prick button in the back for a Minute, or something. Using the Web Interface, Configure the Wireless Network with WEP Security, and change the SSID to something descriptive, but append it with...

Most WLAN SDIO Cards are designed for a particular device, just like most Bluetooth SDIO Cards. I can't use the Palm SDIO Bluetooth card with my PoS Zire71. If Course, you device also needs to support SDIO Cards, and not just SD or MMC cards; you won't be able to use any SDIO Cards with Early...

I have a variable Menagerie of Computers here. WinME, MacOS X, BeOS, Linux and Win98. (no XP or 2K). I also have one AirPort. I wish to be able to quickly and easily transfer Large Files Between Machines. It can't be guaranteed that any single System will be running (except the AirPort), so a...

There are three major types of DSL Modems; Simple USB DSL Modem. These are really sucky. They only work with Windows, but are very cheap. Very few Service Providers distribute these anymore, since they have very complex support issues. PPPoE DSL Modem. These are better, and will work with...

When nine hundred years old you reach, be less Constipated you will not. Hmm?

But why would they make it smaller when it's gonna have a colour screen? Don't worry Fryke. I'm waiting for a PowerPod too, but I don't want it to just play Music…

Cocoa is an API which can be used with either Objective-C or Java. Since the Symbian OS already Runs Java programs… If they're rushing to Market, developing Embedded Darwin would take much too long. The iPods don't run any variety of Darwin, and Symbian would fit thier needs in the interim...

The first Apple PDA, since the Newton will have the following Features; Symbian OS in the first Generation. Later Generations will have embeded Darwin. PalmOS will not be used for Political Reasons and to Avoid Supporting Legacy Apps. Embeded Cocoa in all versions. Early Versions will run...

My Mac Experience has seen aggression from all Different Groups. My BeOS Friends see me as a Conformist. My Windows Friends see me as an Ignorant Try-hard who doesn't really know anything about computers (until I remove thier spyware by Hand using RegEdit). My Linux Friends see me as a Curio…...

My Favourite Mobile Phone, would have had to have been my trusty Nokia 6250. It was basically a Modern Brick. The only Features it didn't have were GPRS WAP and Bluetooth. It once spent a Christmas Party in a Jug of Beer; when the Jug was emptied it got transfered to a different Jug. At the end...

Like in Europe, here in Australia we don't have access to iTMS music purchases. Browsing through the iTMS catalouge, however, I've not be impressed with the range of music. European bands like Müm, Mike Paradinas (Kid Spatula, µziq) and even Richard D James (Aphex Twin) don't even get a...

Handwriting is still a common form of communication for a lot of people. While people like ourselves are used to a keyboard and can type ridiculously quickly, many computer users out there still have problems. A Touch-Screen would also alleviate the need for a Pointing device, pushing an...

PS2's have two USB port and an iLink Port. iLink is compatable with IEEE1394, but called iLink so Sony didn't have to pay royalties to Apple. It was called iLink at the same time as Apple released Firewire… I think it was Sony having a Mindshare Battle with Apple, What will everyone call it...

Bzzt Wrong! SCSI was faster and more powerful simply because the Single Controller could control IO on all 8 simple Devices. IDE was more widely adapted, because it was less complex in simple applications. A Computer Novice could set the Jumper to Master, Slave or CableSelect and think...

When removing Spyware off all my Friends Wintel Laptops, I always find myself clicking on the right Trackpad Button, until I plug in an external Trackball, anyway… Back on Topic… LOL, I always feel slightly sacraligious when I visit the porcellan Room at my brothers house, with his iBook...

Because that leads to Feature Bloat, and an Inconsistant Desktop Across Machines. Sooner or later you end up like X11, with 3 different Desktop Environments, dozens of collections of different Apps which All do the same thing, and complex configuration techniques which make setting up the...

How about a decent implementation of Meta-Data, like BeOS/BFS/Tracker. This could get a bit complicated, but would definately made up for it for Power-Users. This would also require a live Metadata Updater, which extracted ID3-Tags, JPEG EXIF Data and Word Document Attributes to FileSystem...

A Colour iPod would be great for Marketshare, but for an iPod, other features may be a bit over-the-top. I predict a PowerPod will be released eventually (when Mini-HDDs get larger capacity). It will feature all the fancy features like AirPort Extreme, Bluetooth and a Touch Screen. Software...

With the recent annoucement that Tiger will be released next month, I'd plan on purchasing a family pack of 10.4 next month. Then both you and Your Mum can have Tiger.
