    Should I buy the Ipad 2 in England or America?

    As long as it isn't a 3G iPad 2 in which it would have to connect to a provider, making it usable for only carrier that might only work in one country. The keyboard, language and such might be also changed slightly for British English. Other that and the adapter, there isn't really much of a...

    Copying movies with sub titles

    Handbrake will allow you to add external subtitles. Just open up the program, select your video. On the main screen, click the subtitles tab and then click add external SRT. Of course the only downside is that it has to then re-encode the entire file, but it gets the job done which can take some...

    want to upgrade to Leopard...can I?

    Which if.... You are are just using it to do normal day to day stuff like update your iPod Nano it should run great. Though I wouldn't expect anything too big out of it after all even a 867 Mhz processor is struggling to run Mac OS X 10.5.

    How To Clean Apple Pro Speakers

    The Apple Pro Speakers are pretty resilient, so I wouldn't be to worried about damaging them. I used to flick them when I got bored. Mainly I would use something that isn't corrosive or abrasive. I'm not sure how the alcohol would react with the speakers as alcohol can cause metal to corrode...

    Can DVD+RW be used in eMac, iMac?

    I say, why get something that you already have? Yah it's nice to be able to use your computer to be your media center, but I think the Core Duo might choke on some HD videos. Also, I'm sure you could get a nice speaker system for the price of a Blu-ray player.

    Can DVD+RW be used in eMac, iMac?

    I did the same with my eMac. I think the eMac is relatively in the medium category of how hard it is to put a new optical drive in. The case pops off, you take the shield out, take the bottom half off, remove a few more screws and your done (well that's at least what I thought of it). Just make...

    Quick question about difference in Macbook Pro models

    The i7 allows for higher memory bandwidth as it allows for triple channel configuration, although I believe there are only two slots on a MacBook Pro. Also the i7 allows greater hyper-threading (simulated cores) as it has four cores and eights threads compared to the i5 have four of each which...

    Can DVD+RW be used in eMac, iMac?

    I haven't tried all iMac and eMac models, but I believe some models do not support the "+" standard as I has one eMac that couldn't write to a DVD+R disc. However, I believe Apple did a pretty good job at putting top of the line DVD burners in their computers so I would say you have a fairly...

    C++(CPP) Vs. Cocoa

    The best way of learning C++ would be from another person who understands it well, but unfortunately most people aren't willing to sit down and teach someone else for free. I took a college course on C and the book we used did a very good job of explaining how things work and when you want to...

    What kind of laptop should I buy for college?

    I just so happen to work at a computer repair shop in a college where we offer free repairs to students so I've seen my fair share of laptop brands and their many problems. Personally, I would never get a Toshiba. I've never really seen anything special about them. At the moment it seems that...
