    Mac Halo released December 3

    If it turns out the port has the same worse quality as the PC port I am afraid it won't run very well. The PC port suffered from various performance problems (slowdown when fireing, slowdown if there are more than 3 enemies onscreen, mostly in indoor level). These performace problems are...

    More performance from an iBook...

    Maybe you should try http://macparts.de/ibook/ its the origin of the ibook dual monitor firmware hack. I've tried this hack around 1/2 years ago (manually entering the code directly in the firmware menu > it is still working) In the meantime the author made an automated "patch" (I believe), so...

    considering an ipod if...

    No you can't, you can only drag songs which are stored on a hard disk from the play list, or music library in itunes to the desktop (or another folder). You made me curious and I tried it, but dragging songs (in itunes) which are stored on the ipod, to the desktop doesn't do anything. Make...

    baaaaaa(d) RAM you?

    Its most likley bad RAM. I had the same issues with my ibook after I installed an extra 256MB stick (apart from there wasn't any problem except sleep/wake, even the apple hardware disk didn't reported any errors). Some weeks ago I swapped my 256MB for 512MB at the apple reseller shop where I am...

    Searching for apple media

    Thank you, I already knew there were some high res promotion pictures buried somewhere on the apple homepage, but even a google picture search on the apple.com domain brought no results. Here is a screenshot of the scene I am currently working on... its nothing really fancy...

    Searching for apple media

    Currently, I am working for an apple reseller. In around 3 weeks "3D - animation days" a exhibition in Germany will take place. My task is to create a small animation which will be played on some of the demo machines (G5, imacs etc.) there. I've already finished the scene, but one...

    Better than Panther...

    Some questions: How it is determined which shell/program opens a directory window when... lets say if you click on the HD icon on your desktop... Or does path finder handle the save/open dialoge of various applications? Does path finder takes over such global functions as descriped...

    Better than Panther...

    I just wonder, is Path finder a replacement for the 'original' Finder (system shell) or is it 'just' a add-on-filebrowsing/ filemangement program?

    iBook power questions

    My ibook is (nearly always) connected to a power source and the ipod is connected to the ibook (standard apple 6pin firewire cable) I doesn't know how the ipod is able to 'drain' the power out of the firewire port when the ibook is turned off. I mean even the USB ports aren't powered. I had a...

    iBook power questions

    Hm, I am able to charge my ipod even if my ibook is switched off. At least it I think it is charging 'cause the charge symbol appears next to the battery indicator.

    iPod market share in Europe?

    I often have the feeling I live in a hinterland when it comes to small practical/ computer devices. Sure everyone (besides me) owns a cell phone, but when I take out my ipod everyone is gazing and those 'whats this?' expression appears on their face. (wait until I tell 'em it can hold thousands...

    iPod market share in Europe?

    Meh, in Germany most people think I carry a 'hearing aid' around when I take my 15G ipod out of the (apple) Carrying case. :confused:

    Is it OK to switch to a Mac? Will I die?

    Indeed, it could be the doing of the MSblast virus. I mean it behaves like one of these trojans, it makes your computer vulnerable for 'attacks from the outside'. The restart box counting down to zero, is one result. If you patch after you caugh this thing, its the same like letting the...

    Is it OK to switch to a Mac? Will I die?

    Congratulation 'cause of MS new security flaw your friend's computer catched a virus known as "LoveSan" or "MSBlaster". Blaster is fairly unusual in that it does not spread specifically via e-mail as it can travel through a normal Internet connection. The worm contains two messages in its code...

    Microsoft launches Music Store in Europe before Apple

    I wouldn't worry to much, most likley Microsoft will try to sell you their wma music format with a very strict and confusing 'digital rights management' system. (like buymusic.com) I am sure most people aren't eager to purchase music files the MS way (at least I am not)

    Midi to MP3 Converter

    Hm, I don't know why all of you are suggesting external sollutions. It can easily done with onboard methodes (Quicktime (pro?), iTunes) Basically even if the computer has to interprate 'midi notes' it also has to create an output 'wave' stream so you are able to hear the music when the midi...

    iBook keyboards - clamshell and icebook = same?

    I am not 100% sure (so don't blame me if I am wrong) but the clamshell and the ice book keyboards should be the same. There was one time when I had both (at the the end of year 2002). I believe the only difference is the placement of the clips which hold the keyboard on its place (the...
