    Silent iBook update

    Sure it's the low end model, but AE is their new technology, they should get it out there. I mean, even the new iMacs have AE and Bluetooth, and they are just consumer products. To me, it doesn't make much sense to put AE in desktops, it's not that hard usually to run a cord to it. On the...

    Silent iBook update

    No Airport Extreme or Bluetooth!?!? I was going to buy one this summer, but they don't have these features ... what gives? I surely doubt they are going to upgrade them again in July or August.

    M$ Longhorn : 4015 ScreenShots..

    That looks absolutely horrible. Once again Microsoft tries to rip off Apple with the blue-ish colors. But that's not the worst part about it, what is is the UI. I'm looking at the hardware and devices folder, and I'm a pretty experienced computer user, but that gives me a headache just...

    Apple Buying Universal Music? [merged threads]

    ... just something microsoft would do. Personally, I think if Apple acquires Universal it would be great. Apple would gain a whole new level of respect from record companies. They would actually be in charge of how music gets distributed and how copy protection would apply. Microsoft on the...

    Which TV Tuner for Mac to choose?

    Well, I've read positive and negative reviews about both the EyeTV and Formac Studio DV/TV. Does anybody here have one or the other, or have used them? If so, what are your opinions? My dislikes about the EyeTV is that it records in MPEG-1, which is non-editable, well easily. Also, it...

    didnt know the mac would give me so many probs.

    If there's a Apple store around you, I would suggest getting a 'Mac OS X Bible' book. I just converted my brother to Macs and he bought one of those books and said it was very helpful. Trust me, once you get used to Mac OS you'll never go back to Windows. Simply put, Mac OS is the most...

    Logitech 5.1 Speakers

    I don't have any empty PCI slots, so that's a no go. What if I had a USB output, then could I get 5.1 sound?

    Logitech 5.1 Speakers

    Quick question for all. I'm thinking of getting one of those Logitech 5.1 Surround Sound systems for my iMac. I was just wondering however, what do I connect the speakers to, the headphone jack? If I do this, will I still get 5.1 sound when watching a DVD on my mac? Thanks all.

    Apple Pro Speakers Mod

    Got a question ...<BR><BR> Would it be possible to mod your Apple Pro Speakers with neon lights that light up to beat of the music? Sometimes you see similiar things in cars, lights that go along with the bass, etc. Now I'm no engineer, well in 3 years when I graduate I will be :) , but it...

    Color Key for Pro Keyboard!!

    Granted the site is kind of shady, their iMac Mesh Speaker Grilles (http://www.newcolorshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=3&products_id=86) are pretty awesome looking, but for $40 I'll pass. I just ordered the chrome speaker grills from Difusi! (http://www.difusi.tv)

    iPod & iTunes Rumours

    Alls I can say is that they better incorporate MP4/AAC encoding! I encoded my entire CD collection (and a couple friends, :p shh!) and had close to 30GBs. That was around iTunes 2. Then speculation that iTunes 3 would bring AAC support, so I got rid of the mp3s ... well, got a new computer...

    Writing driver for Nintendo Gamecube controller via USB

    Well, I did a little more research and found some info on InputSprockets, apparently, this is what programmers used in OS 9 to write drivers. After more research, I found that this has been replaced by the HID Manager. I'm kind of lost by all this talk however ... like, what kind of file is a...

    Writing driver for Nintendo Gamecube controller via USB

    I just ordered a USB attachment so I can use my Gamecube controller with my Mac, but after searching the web I don't see any drivers for it, and I don't think it's just 'plug and play.' So I was wondering where I can find some info on writing this kind of driver. I searched Yahoo and found...

    Uh Oh. MS acquiring Connectix...

    Well, in all honestly, no one can really be mad if Microsoft does drop Virtual PC for Mac ... seeing that Apple bought Emagic and Shake and ceased new releases of both products for Windows.
