    Why can't multiple CPUs solve the performance gap?

    nice thought, but poor logic. That means we'll be call a toaster a super computer in five years. Oh wait I'm just thinking about my G4 Cube :-)

    Challenge: Find a name for the brand new PowerPC

    What should we call the new processor? hum....... Apple should promote the next generation processor as being the best text processor on the planet. They should remind everyone how Apple and Adobe introduced the world to desktop publishing. Then they should advertise how Apple's new...

    Why can't multiple CPUs solve the performance gap?

    1. COST 2. This design approach already has a name: Super Computer 3. Your electric bill 4. More Fan noise 5. Band-Aid type of solution Your question is kind of a non issue as far as Apple is concerned. The last time I checked, their business plan didn't include building super computers...

    Watch TV with iMovie full screen!!!

    I just downloaded this and it didn't work with my video adapter. Their website states that you have to use Jaguar, so maybe Video Viewer requires Quarts Extreme to work (I only have 16MB of VRAM so I might be SOL). I'm running a G4 Cube 450MHz/768MB/120G with an ATI Rage 128 (16MB). Maybe if I...

    Watch TV with iMovie full screen!!!

    Sorry, A hardware bridge is any device that can convert one format to another, for instance there is an IDE/FireWire bridge to allow people to use their old ATA drives and connect them to their computer through a FireWire port. The video bridge I was talking about is a device that converts...

    important iTunes install info

    I just ran iTunes in "sound check" mode to see how fast my 450MHz G4 Cube would scan my music files for sound levels, and the time it took to scan 100 songs was 1 minute and 20 seconds. At this rate it would take about 30 minutes to scan the rest of my collection. That's not too bad. I just wish...

    important iTunes install info

    I'm not sure, but why would iTunes need 85% of my CPU to adjust levels? Other people have reported that iTunes stops hogging CPU cycles after running in "sound check" effects mode for a period of time. If I have to except 85% CPU overhead just to listen to music in "sound check" effects...

    important iTunes install info

    If anyone else is having this slowdown, can you let me know how long iTunes took to scan all of your music library (library size would be good to know too).

    important iTunes install info

    Dont freak out if iTunes hogs your CPU and your music starts to cut out unpredictably. I just installed iTunes 3. After I changed some of the effects preferences, iTunes started to cut out from time to time when I would change applications or when I would open up web pages. This was really...

    It DEFINITELY grows on you!!!

    The general vibe I'm getting from people's reaction is that the new iMac looks aweful at first, but it starts to grow on you later. I for one have to say DITTO to that!! I think Steve tried too hard to show off how the base looks, but since the design of the new iMac turns the CPU into a monitor...

    Why Mac OS X rules!!

    I knew this all along, but I never read such a personal account of how the world wide web came to be. People who haven't tried to program in Cocoa are missing out, because you don't know how easy it is to take an idea and bring it to life with NeXTStep/OpenStep/Cocoa. Check out the link below...

    iTunes Conversion Speed

    I get 5-6 times with my G4 Cube 450MHz. But I have a bunch of RAM (768M). If iTunes is being nice to other apps the conversion rate falls down to the 2-4 times range.

    !? NSView Question

    This is a good question. Something I've been wondering too. I think the reason we don't understand how to do this is because we don't understand how to have a controller object (the object that responds to IBActions) send a message to an NSView. I haven't tried this, but maybe you could...
