    Apple's Shopping Spree never stops...

    This last one seems more suited for consumers than the others but they have all been rendering rather than editing. I could see them squeezing them in to a major release of iMovie or FCP but with the amount of stuff they are buying it seems like they could write their own infini-d like...

    Which browser do you use for primary?

    I was thinking it had been a couple days since we had a good browser discussion and then surprise surprise, one pops up. I use OmniWeb for all things because it is the most comfortable. It still renders things prettier than the carbon quartz but also it has things that carbon will never have...

    wintel vs. apple: wishes

    If people would just stop believing that what works for them is right and nobody else is then we would have a much happier world. For me, and 95% of the population on this board, Macs are what work for them. People who want to build PC's should stick to Windows, but you are stuck with Windows...

    Anyone read this yet... I tend to agree.

    Yeah the commercials look fake to me but they are in the right spirit. Apple (as a community) needs techie people but they also need consumer people that will be attracted by those commercials. Most people who read that article on the register are going to agree with him because they are...

    Major OS Vote at ZDNet!

    It's pretty close all things considered. That site isn't what I would consider a mac friendly community and we are right up there. It would be nice to lead their poll tho so keep voting.

    iTunes: the program formerly known as cool

    mpg123 is the command line mp3 player. It's in the Fink unstable tree. I think it belongs there because it does have some bugs but it's still a lot of fun. I found it when I was trying to set up a cron alarm clock since this one is command line but I never got it to work(the alarm clock, not...

    Old apple site!

    That's a great page :) The links didn't work for me :confused: But thanks to Omniweb I could view all links so that's what to do if you have that problem.

    MacOS X as Darwin OS

    Yay! someone who wants to do what I do! it's really easy, just log out, type >console into the login name and leave the password blank. You'll then be given a black screen (like single user mode) with white prompt where you can enter your user name and password. you'll probably want to...

    Target Stores have Mac Software

    I work at Target :) We don't have a Mac section yet and I am really really surprised to hear that yours does. Ours isn't a Super Target (yet). I really hate working there but I have to pay for tuition somehow. I enjoy hiding the WinXP boxes but don't tell anyone, I could get fired :P I...

    what is the Tessera project, anyone knows?

    That site implies that Teressa was the code name for the flatpanel iMac.

    Internet Explorer 5.2 Out!

    The truth is that it's a security release which is why there doesn't seem to be many new features. It would be nice to know what those security things were tho. I find that it caught up with Omniweb speed wise (still pretty slow) but it doesn't have cocoa functionality so I'm going to stick...

    WindowShade functionality is BACK in Jaguar (not what you think, though)...

    Yeah I was wondering the same thing. Do they become like files on the desktop so you could cover them or floating palates? I would think Floating would be more annoying because why else minimize? it's still in our way. I suppose it makes most sense that it's like a window, only smaller just as...

    — metric tons o' Linux Questions —

    The thing I still wonder about is whether the programs will still work. They should but just as there is problems porting software to Darwin I think there are problems porting software to YDL because it's PPC platform. Then again Darwin is FreeBSD so you have different libraries and file...

    10.2 prices

    I didn't want your question to go unanswered. You're updates are the little 0.0.1 releases which have new features and drivers but are not the "major releases" which we are talking about. If you got it in May you probably got X.1 on it (or maybe X.1.3 or 4) and then it updated to X.1.5. If...

    G5 and AMD Opteron

    It's not happening. Apple is a hardware company and they sell hardware because it's the best software. If they opened the platform to x86 then they might as well make everything open source, close up shop and find day jobs. The only way I see them going x86 is if they hired a company to make...

    iTunes: the program formerly known as cool

    I tend to agree that iTunes used to be cool. But if you base your whole judgement on this one program, you are sick in the head :) iTunes is simply a poorly ported Carbon App. Because of this it takes up way too much system resources. It's pretty and for encoding and burning I can't think of...

    — metric tons o' Linux Questions —

    :) A question I can answer. First off, #5 Linux is UNIX, and so is Mac OS X (at the core) so you don't have to worry about choosing. I know the most popular distro of Linux for PPC is Yellow Dog Linux. It's free to download or you can order a pretty CD to go along with it. You won't be able...
