As for drive brands, there is one that I'd stay away from, though it's from past performance and they may have fixed the problems. The IBM 75 gxp drives are/were bad, and since then I won't buy an IBM drive. I still run two of them and they haven't given me problems in about a year, but I have...

that 2nd one looks like it was made for system 7.

I have had .mac since it came out, and use it less now that I am back in school but I still think it's great. The only thing is that the iDisk app for windows doesn't work 90% of the time for some reason. One of the other cool things about .mac is the free software you get every so often. I...

duh, i was thinking of the days of apple+shift.

I wish they'd bring back apple +tab + shift for going backwards in the list. The only thing I know to do is use the arrow keys, buy taking my hand off the mouse defeats the purpose imo.

I use a menu app called WeatherPop, which every now and then will suck all of the memory out of the system and everything will go crazy. Usually all I have to do to fix it is quit the process in the activity viewer, then launch the app again. If it's happening right when you launch ichat, then...

Logitech makes the best mice... Anyway I got an MX700 for my desktop and a 500 for my laptop. Very cool and solid design

The hard drive on the xbox is one of the best things about it. PS2 fans, your loading times are so much higher once in the game because things have to keep getting loaded into the 1MB of memory. If sony does put one in, pay the fee and enjoy. You can't and won't be able to take entire...

Last I heard they were waiting to see if the ps3 includes one, looks like sony has them by the balls. It's interesting to see since the xbox is more powerful and easier to develop for, but the sony has so many more potential game buyers.

I had a strange problem tonight that I've never had before. I got home and attempted to load up a web page on the old g4, and got immediate cannot connect errors from Safari. So I tried a few things like rebooting, restarting the router, and checking the plugs. Nothing worked so I began...

Yellow Dog, and all of the other versions afaik do not run in emulation on the mac. It's the real deal. Incidentally, I installed linux a few years ago on my g4, and was unhappy with it because it just wasn't as clean and simple as the mac. Unless I run into something that requires it, I'll...

I think that Apple is already making strides. I go to a school that is 99.9% windows (there's one mac in a less than 100 user environment - and it's in the lab), but there is a thriving network of itunes users that share music everyday while we work. It has been very cool to see this change from...

I was watching tactical to practical last night on the history channel, and they showcased a home automation app that was running on OS X. They said the name, but in my glorious wisdom, I have forgotten it. Looked more to be a security thing anyway (was hooked up to security cameras), maybe not...

Well now that it has been out for a few days, just to fix one detail: The full iLife can be installed via the dvd. Everything but iDVD and Garage Band can be installed from the CD. As for GarageBand, like most new software it is a little quirky, and a little laggy (the interface). Functions...

Go rent startup.com http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0256408/ [imdb.com]. It is a great example of how much money can be gathered in a short time. Of course it is about the dotcom bust, so you know that it's also about LOSING it all as well. Its real finer points are about the relationships rather...

http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jan/macworld/live_2004/all_refs/mwsf_2004_250_100_56_ref.mov This link will get you the mp4 stream, but it is really choppy for me right now, and it will only load in safari, not QT player...hmmm.

seems like each keynote includes at least 20 minutes of looking at idvd themes...

I think the eMac may need an upgrade, but it's not poop! My girlfriend's sister only has a mac because she got an eMac. Her parents wouldn't spend more than a grand so she had to settle for one, but a 1 ghz g4 will serve her well until she's old enough to buy whatever she wants. Not sexy, but...

The CD is from a compilation of bootleg recordings released by my favorite band. You can't buy it in stores, I think it was a run of 12 copies or something like that. I was lucky enough to get my paws on one from my friend, who got it from a band member. Probably not a band anyone here has...
