Or it could be an indication that Apple has looked at the market, seen a void, and decided that there was a golden opportunity to be siezed by whichever company or individual could prove to the record labels that they had the resources and the business model to exploit it properly. Personally...

I've been working with the v64 beta of Safari for the last few hours and I have to say that I've been very pleased with its performance. A lot of the weird errors I saw in terms of rendering in v62 have been cleared up. However there is one annoying bug that persists. When I open Safari I...

There are a number of sites/products that I see in the corporate environment which specifically disallow any browsers except IE. And on other sites where there are just one or two features that are IE-specific, without those features the sites become completely useless. I wish my brother and...

I've found the same to be the case, which is why I suggested that they might use a variable rate for different kinds of music, just as they have different prices for different CDs.

This might herald the appearance of iTunes for Windows, though that seems unlikely since the iPod for Windows would have been just as good an opportunity of not better. Perhaps instead we would see Apple working with a Windows developer to modify an existing player or create a new one. Maybe...

On the contrary, I think that it would be perfectly fair to expect fans of classical music (of which I am one) to pay more for longer songs. After all, don't we still pay roughly the same amount for a CD that is the same length as other genres but contains fewer songs? What we go into the...

Unless I am much mistaken AAC is at the heart of the audio portion of the MP4 format. I know I've made MP4s using Quicktime 6 and some helper apps. So far in my tests I have found the quality of the AAC-based MP4s to be quite superior to that of MP3s, not to mention the smaller file sizes...

Camino Navigator... Chimney Navigator? I think that's kind of funny.

Damnit. I just ordered Illustrator 10 (educational)... Now If I want the newest version when it comes out shortly I'm going to have to buy it again, since you usually can't upgrade edu versions. Sucks. I'd certainly rather see a [downloadable] update to 10.

No disrespect meant, but I don't think you've thought this one through very much nor used a touch-screen system very often. First of all they are not very accurate. Part of the reason for this is that you have to be looking at them straight on to really be able to see what you are touching...

No. All the browser controls that you access regularly are at the top of the application, as they are in many other apps and the OS windows. Splitting the controls top and bottom is a wrotten idea as it forces you to continually move between the top and bottom of the app. And no, that does...

Oh gods no. Do you really want to turn the browser into some sort of bizarre circus of windows and drawers and inspectors sprawling across the screen? Maybe you have a the 23" Cinema display and can afford this sort of thing, but I cannot. I much prefer my browser to take up as little room as...

You really find the Chimera tabs to be more attractive? I've never much cared for them because I think they take up too much space and are too "fancy." I greatly prefer Safari's implementation where the tabs are simpler, take up less space and have smaller text. I think it is much more...

Wow. Are people still obsessing over this? Apple has been shipping a one button mouse for a lot longer than Microsoft (or their hardware partners) have been shipping two+ buttons. Cripes. That's just the way it is. And if Apple ever ships a two button mouse then everyone will start...

No, the antenna isn't huge (about the size of a billiard ball), but the tuner is a pretty hefty item to think about sticking in your pocket (about two or three times the size of a video cassette and weighs several pounds). I have a Sirius system installed in my car and the three pieces that...

10.1.1, 10.1.2, 10.1.3, 10.1.4 and 10.1.5 were minor improvements and fixes. So were 10.2.1, 10.2.2 and 10.2.3. And they were all free downloads. I suspect that 10.2.4 will follow this same pattern and if there is a 10.2.5 then I am sure it will be small fixes and changes offered for free...

Something I've been wondering about: Apple moved its branding from 'aqua' to 'faux fur' when they decided the brand 10.2 using the code name Jaguar. So when we move to 10.3 (code named Panther) will it just become the latest of version of Jaguar or will Apple adopt a new branding? Will we see...

While not TV or film, "psuedo-Macs" have been appearing in the daily comic strip 'Foxtrot' for many years now. They also had a recurring role in the old strips 'Bloom County'/'Outland'.

I don't have any direct experience with people thinking this about AppleWorks. Personally I find it to be perfectly sufficient for all of my personal and freelance needs. I do find it more convenient to use Word at work, but that is because of my co-workers who use it and do all kinds of...

I'm not forced to use anything Microsoft. I do use a couple products (Office) at work, but I could very easily find alternatives if I wanted to. In my case it's just easier to let them buy me software to work with. I hope Apple does not implement MSN services in iChat. The relationship...
