A kewl app called <a href="http://www.konfabulator.com">Konfabulator</a> ($25 shareware, BTW) lets people create things called 'widgets' that you can place on your desktop. Best of all, 'widgets' are made using XML, Javascript, and Applescript, so it's easily customizable. Getting it is highly...

Question(s): 1st: Is there an app that lets you download album covers automatically? I know that MP3 Rage has an album cover search client, but you have to manually search for each album cover; I have 415 albums on my HD, and it would be a pain to search for and organize all of them. 2nd: In...

Master of Orion III. Sequel to Master of Orion II, a popular galactic empire sim; it's been in development for quite a while.

So, who's preordered it, and how much longer do you think until the Mac version hits stores? Remember, though, the Mac and PC versions were co-developed.

With the release of X11, I finally decided to get started using Unix programs on my comp. Using a *great* Cocoa app called FinkCommander (pretty much a GUI frontend to the regular Fink program), I just downloaded Gimp. I didn't think it would take this long to compile, though. :p Sheesh OSX...

One thing I would like to see is an option to tweak the amount of sites listed in the History menu; perhaps be able to list more than ten before going into the "Earlier Today" submenu, or be able to disable it altogether. Another missing feature is auto-site name completion (I don't know if...

Ever since I've started using Chimera (which IMO is a stellar web browser, BTW), one small little glitch has always been catching my attention. Sometimes, Chimera will render text as Kanji, like in the attached picture. What is going on here? Is this a known bug that will be fixed in...

I think what dlloyd is saying is that he tested out his Get Info hypothesis on a random application (in this case, he found Internet Explorer). Seeing the memory allotment, um, thingy, he reasoned that you could use that same method on the OS X MP3 player program. Alas, he had used Get Info on...

The main question I have regarding this is; is it possible to have the iBook play the DVD on *only* the TV, and not the iBook at the same time? Perhaps, have the controls on the iBook screen and the movie playing on the TV? In Mac Help it says that DVD playback will only show on the TV (and...

Reading this post, I also found another neato use for this method; say you had a bunch of CD's you needed to convert to MP3, but you didn't want to sit in front of the computer and switch CD's every few minutes. If you had enough HD space, you could just make images of the audio CD's, and...

What kind of surface is your optical mouse resting on?

I used to have a problem like this; I remember it annoying me to no end. What I did to solve it was go to the Network Preferences pane and configure the Network Port Configurations (under the 'Show:' pop-down menu). Most likely what went on on your computer was that the internal modem and...

Whenever you print, you should be able to just check the "Reverse Page Order" option on the Printing options dialog. To save it as default, well, there should be an option allowing you to do just that. I don't know if (or why) it would be different for other people's installs of X, but if...

While I'm no expert on how to do this, I believe that the simplest thing to do would be to move the Home directory for each user onto each hard drive; for instance, the 'graphics' home folder would be on the 'graphics' disk and so forth. Perhaps using Netinfo Manager you could also deny...

I've never really had this problem, so I don't *really* know what to do, sorry. If someone reading this has had to boot up from a CD- Wait; you wouldn't happen to have any version of Norton Utilities (or any other Mac disk repair utility) lying around, would you? You can boot up with that.

I think that's all you would need; all you're doing is using it to boot and then switch the startup disk.

You might be able to use that one, or you could use the 'Software Restore' CD. Also, have you tried holding up X when you started up? I think with the newer iBooks you could use that to automatically boot up in the X system you have installed. I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know...

Have you tried booting with the system CD? Instead of doing a complete reinstall, you could probably just select the startup disk to the one you were using previously.

Well, this really depends on whether you want the MP3s of the CD tracks on your computer. If so, then: 1. Put CD in computer 2. Open iTunes 3. Open Preferences 4. Go to 'Importing' tab 5. Choose 'MP3 encoder' in 'Import Using' menu 6. Select quality of MP3 using 'Configuration' tool in...

If I remember correctly, someone had written a script to run from iTunes which would automatically encode the tracks using LAME. It would run in the Terminal, but the easy access from the iTunes script menu makes it an attractive option (and it's free, too). As I said, I don't remember *who*...
