The wait is over! I just bought my new Powerbook! Now I just have 2-3 days to wait and that may seem longer than the 4-5 months I've already waited.

I know I'm just beating the dead horse here... I'm a student and I almost got a laptop last March. For some people on this board, the difference between March and September is plenty of time between computer purchases to consider a new one but my first and only computer is a blueberry iMac I...

That's cool, anything different about it?

Anyone remember the DeBeers commercials? I can't find a picture of them online anywhere but it was shadow people wearing diamond rings and necklaces which is what I thought of when I saw Apple's commercials. An element of real on the silhouette. Maybe that was intentional... Apple wanted to...

I am like you, a developer for the build tools but not paid. I haven't seen Panther but I lurk here to get the latest dirt. Of course ALL the people here who have Panther have paid the fees ;) No need to lie.

On the bright side, a new revision of the worm has been circulating that cleans up blaster worm. It's almost like a halmark commercial... virus becoming benevolent and cleaning up after it's kin.

wow you're using a performa now and you'll wait till october? that's some true determination. I'm on a iMac 266 and it's been my only computer since I got it new. If nothing comes out today, I may have to buy a 15inch (knowing there are none left) and hope it gets upgraded for me when the new...

Funny, I seem to recal desktops being the evolution away from that :P It used to be that everyone had dumb terminals connected to a mainfraim computer and everyone shared processing power.

I wonder if they work with OroborOSX? That is kinda strange that quartz-wm wouldnt' be expose aware (but then I haven't seen panther personally so I wouldn't know what would or wouldn't work.

I don't have a problem with Apple trying to make their brand visible, but why is brushed metal so different than Aqua? It's the exact opposite of branding, it's confusing. Ever watched a new wouldbe switcher? They will show you a lot of insight about what works and what doesn't. The thing he...

your logic is flawed. IBM said the 970 was available "up to 1.8GHz" in their tech specs but Apple released it at 2 (most likely to break the 2ghz barrier). Everyone says that the G5 requires massive cooling but it's actually cooler at the same clockspeeds. I agree that we wont see it in a...

My experience is that X11.app from Apple is the best if you're using OSX. It used to be that I would kill aqua and log in as >console so it would be faster. For this purpose I kept XDarwin around and it worked well. But quartz rendering just makes everything twice as fast, even with all the...

Although they haven't been updated since last November 7, it seems that Apple's been having some inventory problems. Problems that in this case mean too much, rather than not enough. Hopefully the new ones will come in at the same price as the current ones but it's possible that the lowered...

have you restarted recently? I've been having disk full errors lately but it's because of my /var/vm file (virtual memory). Restarting clears that up so maybe you should try that? Also, Omni makes a program called disksweeper which is pretty good for finding large unused files.

I saw that commercial on the allstar game... I was at work taking my lunch and lo it was there. I was so excited I nearly spilled my mountain dew and the other guy in the break room looked at me funny. I didn't happen to notice however if it was a large screen :-/

I thought the other version did too? I saw a screen shot of it anyway that showed the new tab buttons for it and it was cool. are the tabs still the new button things?

it crashes on mine too. One good way to get lots of characters is to select all the little dots in the password field and hit ctl-k which cuts them (like emacs) and then ctl-y which pastes them. I put about 2000 and it workes every time but doesn't for about 1500. I don't have any haxies...

OmniWeb rocks with WebCore but the other day I tried to start up and it wouldn't go unless I entered a licence. I know it was a beta(4.5) but I was very dissapointed. I can't get an updated sneaky peak and I sure as heck am not going back to 4.2 with all the slowness. It's nearly as fast as...

There is no way to resize HFS+ so if you only have one partition you're stuck. I'm not sure if there is anything for YDL to run in a window but since a lot of programs have been ported to Darwin you might try X11.app or XDarwin. Is there any program in particular you need to use linux for or is...
