    First post with Safari on MacOSX.com!

    this is what I did. Because I have a ton of bookmarks, I decided to let IE import my bookmarks from Mozilla. Then I figured that safari would import from IE. IE did it's job. But Safari didn't get a new copy. I guessed that it only does it during an install. So I reinstalled. Now it...

    First post with Safari on MacOSX.com!

    this tip might be useful: The first time you open Safari, it automatically imports your favorites from Microsoft Internet Explorer. At this time, Safari does not support importing bookmarks from other web browsers. You might be able to move your bookmarks to Safari by exporting them from...

    Updates Live on MacWorld Keynote

    keynote just ended. I'm not dissapointed. My next computer will probably be a powerbook of some sort. I did sort of want an iPhone but maybe the lower expectations helped apple out with me. The web site teasers from last year hyped it up a lot.

    Updates Live on MacWorld Keynote

    this browser has to be mozilla based. so far it's exactly the same. I wonder what Ed will think if Apple took mozilla code and ran with it? He used to think AOL was really bad (maybe he still does). Perhaps this illustrates the value of open source?

    I'm still looking for something that mozilla doesn't do.

    I'm listening to the song choices and to Steve's voice. He's a gifted salesman. I wonder if he practices very much for this? Think he does a couple of rehersals like an actor would? Vanguard

    I like the iPhoto improvements. I'd even pay for it but I hope I don't have to.

    article about MWSF in SF Chronicle

    If they don't announce anything special then next year it might be a tougher sell.

    "Why MacWorld must die"

    I'd be happy to be proven wrong but I don't think that Steve can sell quite as well without a live crowd in front of him. I love iPhoto. I'm not sure I'd love it as much (it's just a low end picture manager) if I didn't see Steve sell it to me with his great music and photos of an employee's...

    iBook G4?

    itanium, The cache size is a configuration (set by apple), the number of integer operations that can be performed in a clock cycle is part of the core chip design. What if I configured a machine with more ram and declared it to be faster than a machine with a higher clock rate? It could be...

    iBook G4?

    That's another good point. I was taking a class on high performance computing (I'm getting a comp sci master's degree after work) and our professor explained that the cost and complexity of building an SMP system is so high that it rarely makes sense to do it with low end processors. On the...

    iBook G4?

    itanium, You're really off target here. As I look at your link it even offers an explanation. The G3 was configured with a larger L2 cache. The actual truth is that the G3 needs an extra advantage to compete with the G4. (My mind wanders to a Quiznos commercial where they use a blowdart...

    iBook G4?

    According to my foggy memory, my fan wasn't loud at first. It had become louder as the piece of junk ages. My combo drive also makes noise but I don't use it very often and I've never had an expectation of a quiet optical drive. And as long as I'm off topic anyway (original topic was...
