    The Most Stupid Member. lol:D Nice. So if nothing new is actually new, then what will be the next era? I think it would be fun to have an era where everyone wears hats.

    Apple iPod's new Ad campign copies other's idea?

    BTW in tune with my pic, I like those ads. When you leave the face blank, it lets the viewer ad their own idea of what fits in there. Basically the same reason why halo's master chief helmet won't ever come off in view, they want you to assume the persona of the character. Good contrast to the...

    Apple iPod's new Ad campign copies other's idea?

    Would you prefer this? http://homepage.mac.com/dave17lax/ipodgreen.jpg mightyjlr, I'm glad you mentioned that. I have had the same experience, a friend of my mom's bought an imac a few months ago, and my girlfriend's sister got an emac. Both were pcers who wanted something a little cooler...

    Adding Apple Superdrive to an old G4

    Basically the reason they haven't is because of their liscense agreement with the mpeg people. Technically the only legal place that one can run idvd is on a mac that came with a superdrive. So even adding one that is the same make/model violates the contract because the "Apple Superdrive" is a...

    Adding Apple Superdrive to an old G4

    Here are links to buy a 105 and then a 106. They are listed the same speeds for each media type, except the one I've linked says the 106 will do 2.4X on a dvd-r rw rewrite. http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=659072/mode=google1/ut=40dba31e022d50b8...

    Adding Apple Superdrive to an old G4

    Thanks for the flood of replies. I did find that the Pioneer 105/106's are what people are using now. Good hint about bay size, I'd rather not get one that is too big to fit. What I learned is that the 106 series is not yet fully supported by iApps, but is twice as fast and only marginally more...

    Virginia Tech to build one of world's five fastest computers... with Dual G5s

    Universities this size have money like that to throw around, all in the name of research. They are also competing against the other universities for the PR. Does anyone know what type of software they run on these? I'd assume some type of simulation or monster AI to play chess against.

    Adding Apple Superdrive to an old G4

    Hey does anyone know where to find a superdrive, and if I can add it to any old mac? Mine is a dual g4, gigabit ethernet model. I am trying to play around with idvd but can't afford a new mac. I am trying to avoid 3rd party dvd burners, so that idvd won't puke when I try to boot it up.

    Virginia Tech to build one of world's five fastest computers... with Dual G5s

    I went to the Apple store and logged in as a V tech student. Considering that even these prices would still be too high, a student discount for a dual g5, 8gig ram, and combo instead of super drive, the price is around $6,900. This comes out to more like $7.6 million. Note: This figure is...

    Real PC discontinued. Turns out to be vaporware!

    It seems to me that it would take a lot to get another similar app out. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't emulation programs really tough to make? Plus there's getting the OS from MS- it takes some real business saavy to be able to do it successfully. Also I think that MS is going to keep VPC...

    Well? Has anyone gotten their G5 yet?

    It looks like the 1.8 gig version uses the same motherboard as the dual 2 gig version. If so, it seems likely that you'd be able to go get another processor at some point. Usually it's not apple that sells these. For the same reason you'll never go to the apple store to buy ram, they make their...

    Half Life 2:mac?

    Yes this is true. Xbox is the most powerful console ever, but it's already 2 years old. :/ Just look at the upcoming HaloPC. The resolution will be huge compared to the xbox version, and all of the visual effects beat the old version as well. PC's will always have the edge because of the...

    Apple - two words to consider: "Home Automation"

    [Arnold Voice] In the year 2003, Skynet was activated. It propagated and installed itself onto millions of computers around the world in the form of the MS Blast worm. Then on August 14th 2003, skynet initiated a system wide blackout of the powergrid in northeastern USA. This was the beginning...

    Half Life 2:mac?

    As I have followed the production of half life 2, I know this game is going to be sweet! So I'd sign the petition, but it's useless and its wording is flawed. "many mac users have pc's we'd love to get rid of?" Not me, and why would a company want to port a game knowing that "many" of us already...
