Looks like Apple screwed up big time and will have a lawsuit on their hands very soon. I am one of the people affected by this and I don't find it to be the least bit funny. Quoted from MacFixit: Short iBook/PowerBook battery life; getting a replacement We continue to be overwhelmed with...

I guess I must be the only one who finds Camino to be not only faster than 0.6.0 but than Safari also. It's also better than most browsers because it is compatible with most web pages (never found one that didn't work) and it doesn't have a memory leak like Safari does (anyone else notice this?)...

I have an HP scanjet 3500c that works in native mode. Quality is quite good as well. Great scanner all in all. Andre

That's exactly it, I reinstalled OS X myself because I wanted the OS to be completely in English whereas the restore CD's installs everything in French. I know you can very easily just change the behavior of the system to be English, but the startup sequence is still in French and it annoys me...

Anybody have a trick to get rid of a scratch on an LCD screen (iBook)? I tried that Displex product but it did nothing. There's got to be something! Andre

In something not too unrelated, I'm using the first build of Camino (actually called Camino) and I have to say that it is AWESOME. I find it much faster than Safari (except for loading initially) and at least all of the web pages work properly (which is not even close to being the case in...

Actually, I was wondering about the clean install I have to do. I installed OS X alone on my computer, then upgraded to Jaguar. The iBook that I use is a French Canadian version, therefore the OS 9 I received is french. However, the OS X install was made in English. When I boot from the...

Actually, one of the bigger reasons I switched to a Mac is because just about every free download on the PC is spyware. I was actually even worried that Ad-Aware, the program that removes spyware, had spyware in itself. Despite the fact that the platform has some amazing software, you never know...

Honestly, iChat is worthless to me UNLESS it supports MSN eventually. Only one of my friends uses AIM exclusively and it's only because he's a fanatical Mac guy. Everybody else thinks AOL and AIM sucks, even my girlfriend removed it when I installed it on her computer. Everybody uses MSN because...

Maybe it's just me but I actually think that this is the best thing I've read in a long time. Very well done. Whoever wrote it originally deserves a lot of praise.

I hate how Safari sometimes loads up as a fullscreen, sometimes as fullscreen but moved out of the screen borders, sometimes small and 2 inches from the left border of the screen, sometimes in a random position. Is there any way for me to set it up to always start in full screen or always start...

When my x11 messed up, I just did a finder -> find for x11, and then deleted the config files. That was pretty much it. It required a restart and a reconfigure, but at least it worked properly.

Hi there, I was wondering where to go to know which version of Office v.X is installed, like 10.1.2 or 10.1.3 bla bla bla. The About doesn't say anything (unless I'm blind) Andre

I find the GUI idea to be excellent actually. I especially like the minimized window tracker on the right side. However, what I would personally like to do is set the Trash Can to the bottom right corner, and have it stay there. In other words, put Trash into its own window located at the bottom...

I would consider naming it after what it is, or what the user is. For instance, even though I like to call myself CellFish, I figured it would be redundant to name my computer the same thing. As a result, I figured I should name it after the fact that I am a water astrological sign (pisces)...

I have FaxSTF myself, hated it with a passion. I got it free with my iBook. I bought Cocoa Efax as a result which faxes whatever document you want as a .pdf. I liked faxing in Windows somewhat better because the Fax was simply a printeer driver, but I find Cocoa efax to be the best alternative...

Ricky I love your desktop wallpaper, where can I grab it?

I'll try it out, thanks!

I have Gimp installed through X11. To run it, I have to go through X11 first, then choose Gimp from the Applications menu. Is there a way to create an icon on the dock that will start Gimp like a normal program (with X11 of course), loading the pre-requisites automatically? Thanks in advance! Andre

I bought GamePad Companion myself to get a bargain Microsoft Sidewinder to work. As far as I know, the Gamepad Pro is supported as well. The program allows your joystick to be seen natively in the OS.
