I have to say that I'm not all that eager to see Apple release a DVR. Consumer Reports (magazine) had a piece about DVRs in a recent issue and their general assessment of them was that it is not worthwhile to buy one. Their reasoning was that the technology and the features and the services...

The problem ended up being the result of the 1GB RAM chip I had put into the computer. The RAM was from a third party, which I thought might have been the problem, but when I bought some from the local Apple Store after having completed reformatted everything the same problem came up. I don't...

Thank you for the suggestion but I am afraid it did not work. In your opinion could overwriting the existing iPhoto and iTunes preferences have caused this sort of thing?

I have a new iMac (with the iSight built in) that I am in the process of setting up. When I was first playing around with it Front Row was running fine. Then, at some point, it stopped working. Neither the menu button on the remote nor Cmd+Esc will launch it. I've been trying to think what I...

There is a promotion running right now where you get a $100 mail-in-rebate when you purchase any printer with any computer (the rebate is on the printer). There is also a promotion where you get $30 off of .Mac when you buy it with a new computer. There is typically some sort of sale on black...

Are they really that much heavier than comparably equipped Wintel laptops? In my work I have to talk about Macs a lot and I've had to compare them to a fair number of Wintel laptops. All the times I've compared the PowerBooks to PCs with the same features the PCs have been a good bit heavier.

I use Mighty Mice at work and expect to have one come when I buy my next computer (hopefully very soon). All the same I am going to continue using my Kensington mouse. I've tried Logitech and Kensington mice and I find them both to be exceptional in terms of their quality and ergonomics. The...

I don't have an opinion on the original question since I have never been a PC user and have no stake in AMD v. Intel. I will say this, though: I don't care anymore who makes the processor inside my computer than I do who makes the engine inside my car. Admittedly processor architecture has...

I've just finished reading through this thread and took note of some comments concerning the eMac and educational computer purchasers. I know the eMac was created largely at the insistence of educational customers, but I think priorities are shifting within the sector itself. My mother works...

I just read a story about a wall street analyst who estimated 1 million sales of Macs to Windows users, though that doesn't necessarily mean "switchers". Honestly, though, whether they are switching, buying a second computer for their home, or buying a computer for a child I don't much care...

I don't think that anything Apple has done so far (or hinted at) will herald the end of tv as we know it. What I believe to be far more likely is a progression toward what we think of as broadcast tv (including cable and satellite) becoming a function of the internet entertainment hubs...

My feeling is that this is all part of the idea behind the iMac being an all-in-one machine. It may not be the ultra-flexible solution that a lot of people might like, but I think there's just as many or more out there who will like this a lot. I think it will be especially big with people who...

You must watch a lot less tv than I do, cause if I were to do that it would end up costing me about twice as much per month, at least.

I was trying to change the nibs in iChat like you mentioned above, but I couldn't find the right place to do so. I haven't messed around with this stuff since 10.1 or 10.2, so I don't really remember where things are. I just wanted to see what iChat would look and act like if I changed it to...

Does an average album cost between 10 and 12 GBP?

Can the new Moto phone play protected songs purchased from the iTMS? I assume it can since it is basically running the same iTunes software as the iPod. What I think is happening here, though, is that Apple is working with Moto to supply a way for a device to play the protected music, not for...

I think this is a case of a market being there and the choice either being to jump in and compete or lose access to it entirely. With the iPod and especially the iTunes Music Store Apple has committed itself to the digital music and distribution market. With mobile phones becoming more and...

Oh, and I'd love it if they eliminated drawers entirely in favor of the kind of pane you see at the side of Mail and iTunes.

I never hated brushed metal the way some people did, nor did I think it was great. The only application I ever thought it was well done in was Safari, mainly because there was a metal piece at the top and one at the bottom without any down the sides and without curved corners at the bottom. I...
