HATE IT. Unless that somehow gets me an extra hour of battery life, consider me uniterested. So far, the slot load CD/DVD is the best thing out there (platter loaders make me feel like a caveman) and I don't want to give itup. I fail to see where that gets them all that much, but...

I think this is a great thread, FWIW. In addition to the other excellent points, here's mine: AppleTV 1. No HDMI 1.3 AFAICT 2. No 1080P iPhone 1. No speech recognition for dialing? Random thought: I can't imagine that the iPhone won't support third party apps (whether Apple...

Cheese, I do not know the legal aspects of it, and I wonder the same thing. However, I could see a scenario where other companies would NOT have to comply. The only reason I say that is because when Microsoft recently had to rework how Flash plays in Explorer, no other browser company had to...

Thanks Sunnz for backing me up. Exactly. You have to physically make effort to buy the CD. You also have to store it somewhere, taking up space. If you want to nitpick over the math, I suspect it's actually way more than ten times the effort. Personally, in terms of the best possible...

I think Apple's dominance in this market is evidence enough for why it's important, from a business standpoint, to maintain control of the content (e.g. DRM). For Apple to license their DRM to allow other companies to sell MP3 players would be the single stupidest move Apple could possibly make...

No, this isn't another thread about Mac vs. PC gamma. This is about Quicktime Player playing movies much darker than VLC. See here: http://www.mindbendtoo.biz/qtvsvlc/qt_vs_vlc_a.jpg Per this thread, I have been trying to find the perfect way to rip DVDs in preparation for iTV...

I am planning a bit ahead for iTV with hopes of ripping my legally purchased DVDs. I am looking for advice on what software to use and which settings give the best results. Ideally, I guess I'd like to just extract the main movie from the DVD and NOT recompress it. But presumably iTunes can't...

Well, Quickbooks for the Mac is the default Mac business software. I'm not saying it's the best, I'm just saying it's kind of the standard. I tried MYOB, but I was so used to QB, that I gave up. QB for the Mac is not as full-featured as the PC version (shocking, I know). You have a fairly...

The quality and laughs are starting to slip just a bit, but still pretty good.

Seems to me that's a dangerous game they're playing. Apple's got 10 billion dollars sitting in the bank these and I'm guessing they'll spend a few of those to bury this company should it come to it.

I don't know how this kind of stuff in a purely legal sense, but I wonder if Apple can go after him if this guy's customers use the app and propagate de-encoded AACs throughout the internet. I mean it's one thing to de-encode it for personal use, but let's get real, this basically opens the door...

For anyone who cares, there is in fact a Cardbus adapter for the new Expresscard format: http://www.duel-systems.com/products/adapters.aspx And one for Compact flash: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0609/06093009delkinexpresscardcf.asp Expresscard is disappointing to me because the only thing I...

Anyone know if there's a third party solution for a 7200 RPM HD for the 15"? Also, this new card media interface…will it accept P2 cards from the Panasonic HVX200? My plan was to get an HVX and a MBP and be able to dump off media to the laptop. It's going to be really annoying if I have to...

With no official evidence, I am optimistic that Vista will run in Leopard via Bootcamp. For one, Vista Beta runs in Parallels. That's a good sign. For two, I can't believe Apple would have come this far only to stop short at Vista (unless Microsoft does something malicious to prevent it...

Boy, I have to say after reading these posts that the majority here simply do not get it. Symphonix seems to be the only one who got it right. Granted, the iTV may not be for everyone, but for a lot of us it fits the bill perfectly. I can't wait to get mine. Here's why. I've got my main...

If Apple is planning on releasing a new design and some new bells and whistles, then I'm fine with the delay. But if they end up just dropping in the c2d into the current laptops, then I don't see what's taking so long. Apple put themselves behind the eight ball when going Intel. They have to...

I am trying to set up an Airport Express as a remote. I have an Extreme as my main base station. I am trying to follow these instructions: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107454 My Extreme base staion is working. I can access the internet through it. I need to set up a...

I agree that providing OS X on generic PC is a massively bad idea. One of the huge benefits of OS X, or historically, the "Mac" experience is the fact that Apple "makes the whole widget". They build the box and the OS. That has huge implications. It's a big part of why things "just work"...

Ok, here's a follow up for anyone reading this. I'm just an idiot. ActiveX definitely works in Parallels, I was just too stupid to realize it during the installation. Not being a Windows user, I didn't realize that there's this yellow bar at the top of IE for such things. The installation...

Can anyone confirm if ActiveX websites work via Parallels? I bought a copy of Windows XP and Parallels specifically to run Quickbooks online edition, which requires ActiveX. Much to my dismay, Internet Explorer is not recognized as ActiveX capable in Parallels. And it's going to be a big pain...
