$50 for engraving is that perfect borderline price Apple aims for where it's as high as they can get away with but still low enough so that some people (not me in a million years though) will consider it. I mean, you could if you wanted to get any metal object engraved for less than $10 (or in...

The picture file will DEFINITELY not be stored in a standard format such as JPEG or TIFF or something like that because think about it; Mac OS doesn't load these kinds of picture decoders until much later in the boot process (I guess it would be through Quartz). I am not sure, but I think the...

From www.macnn.com: apparently there is a $50 rebate coupon for Jaguar at Amazon, so you non-academic people get a discount! :) Here's a link to the rebate coupon... http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00006ANW9.01.RB02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg Only thing is, it seems kind of fishy to me when there is...

Does anyone know if there is still a bandwidth limit on .Mac sites like there was with iTools? Because if there was, then the whole reason to host sites on it (in my case anyway) is gone.

Someone in Japan is porting a PS emulator called FlareStorm to OS X and it's supposed to be pretty good so far, but is still in early beta stages. I really wish Connectix wasn't sued by Sony so quickly so we could have had that high quality emulator on OS X! It probably would have run better on...

A PC company called Northwood just introduced this hideous blatant copy of the iMac (blatant in that even their comments to newspapers describe how it's a better deal than the Apple's offering.) And I quote: "The Californian company said its new Integra, "crosses the boundaries between the...

But it's always more fun when people from software companies post! Thanks Andrew!

WOW, that is SO blatant of a ripoff. The physical features are nearly identical, the arrangement of ports on top is exactly the same - heck, even the interface, which they could have at least made different to try to avoid lawsuits is EXACTLY the same! Apple is probably going to sue their...

there are two problems I've heard of with using the iPod continuously as an external HD: I have heard unconfirmed rumors that the Toshiba internal HD isn't designed for continuous access (i.e. reading/writing huge files all day all the time) as opposed to sporadic bursts of copying small files...

You honestly have to ask yourself if you NEED the extra power a TiBook gives you. OS X really runs quite well on iBooks and the Radeon chip in the new models makes it pretty good, but not absolutely great, for games. Word processing, email, presentations would run absolutely fine on an iBook...

He/she checked the option in Finder Prefs to hide Hard Drives from the desktop.

I was just wondering how the new touch-wheel worked. If it's like the touchpad on a laptop, then I think that's not exactly the best option because if your hands are wet/greasy/dirty the pad will not work. Even though the original scroll wheel was thicker, at least it didn't have this problem...

Is it right to have fun in the sun while eating a bun on the beach?

Why has this thread started off with a great idea and gone SO downhill?

but in the Terms of Service agreement or whatever they call it there was a clause that said something like "Apple reserves the right to discontinue iTools at any time for any reason without prior notice. By clicking Agree you consent to these terms."...so they were never legally obliged to keep...

Congrats...sorry, I just missed the 1000 count in the screenshot! :) Reminds me of when RacerX wanted that animation of his post count climbing while flashing "loser" every few seconds for his wife :p ! (I'm not trying to imply anything by that, of course! ...or am I? :D j/k)

I've only heard good things about Alienware (at least as a gaming platform). Apart from the fact that their laptops don't use the P4-M but the desktop P4, I thought their computers were pretty good. Could you elaborate more, r4bid?

"...the infamous storming of Apple's booth by Joel Kocher's Power Computing mob in 1997..." I just read this at MacObserver (I would give the exact link but I closed the window and am too lazy to go find it again). What what THIS one all about, then? Us Mac users are weird! :)

We'll probably see FireWire at 800 mbps...but not FireWire2/Gigawire...I'm wondering if this is all that the Zayante buyout is providing Apple? Seems like that would be something they could do themselves by just adding another controller...hopefully we will get something more than this... As...
