    Cool huh ?

    ok so aside from the aqua skin, where's the preemptive multitasking? the protected memory? the symmetric multiprocessing? te unix core? I may look like OSX but i wouldn't kid myself into thinking it really is. There's more to it than just the pretty face. but hey I guess it's cool that...

    Somehow my Localhost got renamed...

    MWSF - Apple sets expectations high

    Ok I'm willing to put forth my guesses, though lamentably it's a shot in the dark... Speedbumped G4s 1.0, 1.2, and 1.4 ghz Gigawire will make it's presence known DDRAM will probably work it's way into then ew systems as well. Some update for the iPod or a totally new device altogether...

    folder refreshing

    Yeah the finder refresh in OSX sucks for me too. I mean I understand that stuffit thing sort of..although I would really like the icons to pop up right away even If it was placed on the desktop by a background app. What I find equally annoying if not more so, dragging pictures from the...

    DVD Player Update is out...

    I've wondered this myself...if you have dedicated cards for video and audio, why not have one dedicated to decoding dvds? I mena software based solutinos alsmot seem liek a backwards step.

    Snax

    I've bene usin the past 3 versions of SNAX of and on. I'd go install it real quick and give it a try. It doesn't actually put components anywhere so if you odn't like it you can just drag the .app to the trash. Basically SNAX sets out to be a Finder replacement. Yeah it's not bad, but it's...

    Allaire (macromedia) Homesite: Is it finally here?

    arggghh....why would they not port this? It's so much better than BBEdit and Dreamweaver combined for web scripting. The sales of this would easily pay for whatever reworking of code is necessary I'd imagine. Figures. God I miss Homesite.

    Slight System Speed Inrcrease

    I tried doing this and it only actually prebound like 40 of my applications, told me it could do all of them for some reason. I figure that's prolly not the best sign.. in any event do you tihnk this falls under the mind over matter category? Cuz the few things it did manage to prebind didn't...

    Apple & Blueboxing

    Yeah, i know they dabbled in Blueboxes for the hell of it. Apparently they found the AT&T code/tone bok in some university basement library. The best tellign of this tale was pbs's "Triumph of the Nerds" It was produced by err...Cringely I think, exclelent production. Therte's a second...

    please someone tell me its possible

    I'm sure you are but make sure you're using osx 10.1. I have a g4 and with my 19" i couldn't get many resolutions I could in 9 until I got the 10.1 update. Other than that I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. Maybe it has to do with the opengl acceleration.
