Whenever I turn on my computer after replacing the LCD, it actually turns on but then quickly goes to sleep for no apparent reason. When I DO get the computer to turn on and display, the trackpad doesn't work. I've narrowed the problem down to three wires underneath the LCD in the computer, I'm...

Let's think a bit. How will a Microsoft portable music player improve the quality of the OS? Why do MAc users constantly support the 'quality' of OS X by mentioning things that aren't even included in it? the iPod is an OPTION and it is an option that is available for Windows as well. In fact...

This paragraph proves the ignorance of Mac users. While Firewire 2 is not on PC's (not that anyone really cares), Airport Extreme is just 802.11g which first appeared on the PC, Bluetooth as well first on PC, iLife nobody cares, PCI 64 will be on the PC first, Gigabit Ethernet was PC first, DVI...

God you people are stupid. Here we have Microsoft and HP creating something new and you guys are all saying that it's ripped off of Apple. Apple did NOTHING like this. The way you guys see it, Apple invented every single geometrical shape and anybody else who uses a shape is automatically a...

Interestingly enough, my Mac experience was painful and very uninteresting. My PC experience is bliss. Andre

Umm ebolag4, you CAN resize the window in Windows in the exact same way that you can for a Mac. Mac can't resize from any side like Windows can, but Windows can resize the way the Mac can. There's nothing a Mac can do that Windows can't do as well. Andre

Alright then. You've come up with a way to defend the 'maximize' or 'normalize' feature of OS X. I'm proud of you but let's face it, the green button is still useless. But there's another problem. Resizing windows. On OS X, the only way to do it is by dragging the bottom-right to make the...

Not good is not true. Having explorer integrated into the system has way more advantages than it has disadvantages. It allows for a greater fluidity of operation using one's computer with the internet. On a PC, access to the Internet through Windows is seamless because Explorer is part of the...

I'll get blasted here obviously, but I find that Microsoft did more with the GUI than Apple did. The taskbar, the system tray: both are great ideas. I'm not a big fan of the start button, but combined with the Windows key on keyboards it makes navigation pretty quick. Of course, the Recycle...

Let's be honest. The XBOX is the best gaming system out there. It's the only one with a decent online system, it has a hard drive killing the need for memory cards (unless you want to bring your info elsewhere) and frankly it's the most powerful. It also has the best controller in the S-model...

Personally, I would just reinstall them. However, my experience with Mac OS X over the last 6 months of trying out the Mac (switched from a PC), I realized that mopst of the problems I got were due to OS X's stupid permissions system. Go to HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility and...

That is not true. Pay as much for a PC as you would for a MAc and I guarantee the PC will look as good if not better than the Mac. Get yourself a black and grey viewsonic monitor, with a logitech elite keyboard and a logitech mx500 optical and already you have a nice desktop. Add a Noblesse case...

LOL! Color management! Worth the extra 4000$ right there. Andre

Let's face it. Being on an Apple piece of hardware isn't revolutionary, nor is it heaven compared to the PC. I find, personally, that there are way more advantages to going to a third-party vendor and to get a PC, but that's just me. A lot of people, especially here, will swear by Apple to the...

The solution to your problem is to buy a PC. .. lol, no I'm kidding. I would suggest that you navigate to Hard Disk -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility and repair the permissions on the volume. I'm, pretty sure you'll find tons of errors because let's face it, OS X constantly screws up...

There are many reasons to buy a Mac, but I think you'll be in a better position to decide if you know the reasons NOT to buy a Mac: 1) The processor will eventually change with the risk of rendering your software inoperable and thus forcing you to buy them all over again 2) Terrible...

Regarding the odage 'Once you go Mac, you'll never go back.' As a Mac user who couldn't wait to get a PC back after 6 months of only using a Mac, I am one of the many I know who tried the Mac, gave it a fair chance and realized that none of it is worthwhile.

Personally, and I know that Mac users will berate me for this, I find the Apple Macintosh platform to be the most limiting operating system on the face of the earth. Whereas most people here will say that 'OS X gets out of your way', I have never found that to be true in any respect. Hardware...

Tough luck dude. If you have as good of a monitor as you do (1600x1200 suggests a decent monitor), you definitely want to use it to its maximal potential. Chances are, it won't happen unless you use a different operating system. OS X loves to limit everything a user does, Mac fanatic relish this...

All I wanted to add here is that when I bought my Mac, I made an experiment by giving my girlfriend an old P3-533, putting 256 megs ram on it and the cheapest video card on it possible. Since June of last year, she has never had to reinstall, never had to remove and re-add programs, never...
