    Recording TV programs on powerbook?

    Another option would be to get a Tivo w/DVD Recorder (Humax for example) and just make DVDs of the programs and watch the DVD on the powerbook. If you want a good video tuner/input device, the Eye TV (elgato) is nice and well supported. Just make sure your HD is large, and you have plenty of...

    Quick Time 7

    It's only $30, and it's been quite a while since they required QTPro users to update and pay. I think it's more than fair. Why Mac users who paid $2000 for a computer and are willing to pay $130 for the latest OS updates complain about a measly $30 I don't know. I will be updating and...

    Web design costs guidance

    I'd prefer to have a steady stream of lower paying jobs myself, as I love the work and love to keep busy. But those larger paying jobs are nice too, esp if you can get yourself established and they recommend friends to you. But give me the smaller cheaper jobs anyday. They are usually simple...

    Web design costs guidance

    Also keep in mind that the price varies based on location as well. I always get more from work I do for companies in say, California or New York, or Dallas, vs in Oklahoma where I am from. And in my experience, there are times when your price is probably lower to help them out on a budget...

    Can I adjust brightness on my Cinema display?

    I read (in one of the ACD manuals) that if the Brightness button does not bring up the brightness controls that you should check these: Did the display have a USB cable to connect to the Mac? Is it connected? Some features like the brightness controls require it. (Most likely has a DVI & USB...

    popups

    I've seen a few get thru Safari and Firefox here and there. Most of the time it's a CSS Layer faking itself as a popup. If I goto a site and get a popup, and I know that the site doesnt care if it happens (soem sites will proactively stop them), I never go back there again. Easy. Everyting...

    Upgrading a Mac Mini

    For now, I am keeping it just in case I need to put it back into the mini. I figure in 6 months or so I can sell it or put it into my old laptop if needed. Already sold the 256 ram that was in it (replaced with 1gig) to my office. But noone here really uses a laptop so dont need the extra...

    Upgrading a Mac Mini

    I added a Pioneer DVR-K04L to my mini myself for $120 shipped via www.mwave.com Install was a breeze and it works like a champ. It's fast and supports Dual Layer if I so desire. I tihnk it took me maybe 5 minutes to install. Hardest part was all those tiny tiny screws. From what I have read...

    Roller Coaster Tycoon 3

    Might be playable via emulatoin? I'd bet the older 2 would run fine on VPC on a newer Mac.

    iMovie HD not importing DV video from camera

    donmerlin - that's exactly what mine does. imovie controls the camera, imove can play the camera but i see the blue screen instead of a picture, and the flash when stopping. The camera is pretty old, so I thought maybe that was it, but it seems to happen with newer models too. Here's a...

    Herve's Bar & Grill

    Giaguara - sorry you had a bad day. We all have those now and then. I have them more than not, that's life. Could be worse tho right? Get a good movie to watch, maybe a good friend, and spend the time with someone important. It helps!

    Herve's Bar & Grill

    499 pages of people rambling. One of the reasons I love the internet...someone like me who wont shut up is actually dwarfed in conversation by other. I feel small and I like it. Is it 5 pm yet? ::whine::

    Neverwinter nights

    Don't let one bad experience spoil it. There are lots of great folks out there who sell their used software for good prices so others can enjoy it. Most of which are only out to help others get new toys cheaply.

    Transparent Desktop Images

    I've seen these using CRTs before, but I htink the LCDs/Laptops have a cooler look because it seems more possible in real life.
