    mail.app is wining the arstechnica poll

    Yeah, but it's not quite as useful as it is under Entourage. I use _every_ part of Entourage _other_ than the mail client...

    Apple to buy Sony? or Sony to buy apple?

    Let's not forget that it was Sony who made Firewire [a.k.a: iLink] the near-standard it is for video cameras. If Apple could strike a deal with Sony to avoid them moving ahead with their own proprietary format for music and use the iTunes Music Store instead, it would be a dramatic step...

    Mail duplicating messages

    I think it goes without saying Mail really shouldn't be doing this! Although you said that you'd like to keep a back up of your mail on-line, your ISP might well have a mailbox size limit. So after a while, your old emails might start to disappear. The best thing to do is just make a back...

    Apple to buy Sony? or Sony to buy apple?

    This sort of rumour keeps doing the rounds. This year, it's Sony playing the part of the white Knight. Last year, it was Sun. When all is said and done, Steve Jobs is an egomaniacal genius. Can you see him allowing Apple to be subsumed by Sony unless he saw a way of getting to the top of...

    sharing problems over my network...

    This isn't specific to your firewire drive, it will happen with any mounted volume -- it happened to me when I tried reading a cd on my iBook from my G4. There's no way to set the share options on a volume like you could under OS9, which is a real shame. If there is a way to do this, I'd...

    Metallica starts download music site

    Get Randman! Are you on commission, fella?.. :D You have to bare in mind that Metallica are seeing every diminishing returns every year. They were a big band in their day, but nothing to write home about. So the were-really-ticked-off-honest-we-are stunt was probably just pr puff to get...

    Well aren't we the little angel! ::angel:: I just didn't read through the article thoroughly. *** [Edited for self-inflicting comments about wanting to start a flamewar. Check the rules about trolling.] ***

    Hurray, just got my degree

    Congratulations! But don't be fooled into thinking that having a degree suddenly makes you hot property. I know that a lot of the kids I went to college with thought that the moment they picked up their degree, they would walk into a £15k pa job .. err, no. Qualifications do not a...

    I moved the iTunes folder and now it can't see it

    You can put your music collection wherever you want, iTunes isn't that fussy. You might have to go File -> Add to Library... and do it that way. I've found iTunes to be a little finicky about moving the music folder...

    Also, I have Snort running on my mac via HenWen. I've looked through the log files for the NIDS and there's nothing showing up that would otherwise be untoward. I've got a hardware firewall in my broadband router / modem, I have the ipfw firewall running on my mac in addition to Snort...

    weird log file entries...

    Hi all, since I got my G4 connected to net with broadband and a fixed IP, I've been getting some odd log entries. Quite apart from the regular viral crap that's looking for some Microsoft IIS files, I've been getting this kind of thing, that to be quite honest, worries me: What does it...
