    iTunes 4

    If the song is still playable after you unplug the iPod, it is on your HD somewhere, and someone will make a program that copies the song from its protected place to your iTunes library so you can share/burn/copy it. Automatically. And this cannot be prevented without some sort of DRM software...

    Bluetooth ready PowerMac...?

    Also, if you go to the Apple Store's config page for the 17" iMac, go to Bluetooth, and click "more info", it gives a different description than going to the same link on the PowerMac config page. The PowerMac's Bluetooth Module has a longer (but just as useless hardwar-info-wise) description. I...

    aluminum look on powerbook...

    As a matter of fact, the G3 is a surprisingly cool (temperature-wise) chip. It almost lent itself to laptop use during a time when, IIRC, either the Pentium 2 or 3 was getting pushed by intel for laptop use, and laptop manufacturers didn't want it because it was too hot (jokes were made about...

    10.2.4 Bluetooth HID Support

    I like they new PocketMouse (Kensington, I think) where the reciever stores in the mouse. However, like fryke, I am wary of battery replacement/charging. That can impact on the size/weight (and therefore portability) of the mouse, not to mention the embarassment of your mouse going dead during a...

    The new iMacs thread (merged)

    No firewire 800 is most likely because iMacs (and iBooks and eMacs) are targeted at consumers (and maybe a little at 'prosumers') and not at proffessionals. A big part of their appeal is simplicity, and having 2 different firewire ports is not simple for the average consumer. Also, these people...

    Why Apple can't disable OS 9 booting completely

    Something nobody has suggested as to a solution for the problem this thread proposed: Select the OS 9 install disk (bootable) as your classic system, under the Classic PrefPane. Then run Classic, run the installer to install 9 on your HD, shut down classic, and tell classic's prefpane to use the...

    Anyone know anything about update to the 15" Powerbook?

    They will probably do to the 15" what they did for older 1.25Ghz towers....you'll go to PB page and click on an OS 9 link to see them, but they will still be there. That's my guess, at least.

    size of the new 17" powerbook?

    I see 17" as the point where I could see myself abandoning the desktop. Think of it this way: an iMac 17" display stuck on a laptop. No performance sacrifice for most things, at least for me. It still fits on the average lap, and now even more people have reason to be jealous as they look and...

    Apple's last WORD

    And one I totally agree with....ever since M$ bought Hotmail, Hotmail has sucked. You know, before that Hotmail was served on UNIX servers.... ...AND WORKED!!! Also, I did NOT appreciate being forced to have a passport account just because I happened to sign up for a good free webmail service...

    Apple's last WORD

    Since you added more while I was typing, I'll add some more now as to plugins and other features possibly missing in Safari: it isn't done yet! You can't compare these 2 yet. And Hotmail does work on IE on my mac. I believe Hulkaros puts it best when he tells people they are not comparing...

    Apple's last WORD

    IE is not part of Office, and I was talking about Office. Also, I find Safari faster on my mac than IE on machines running Win2k at school; of course, such a comparison is unfair until Safari is finished. As far as working better, this site never killed IE for Mac's ability to load many...

    Apple Invented Bluetooth Graphic Card!!!

    Because they are supposed to be the last 2 items in a list, there should be a comma before the "and." <<please note, too, that when using quotation marks at the end of a sentence, the punctuation of the sentence goes inside the closing quotation mark. This is a mistake I see happening very...

    Apple's last WORD

    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahaha *cough* um...yeah, whatever... sorry, the though of Office working better on Win after using Office 97, 2000, XP on PC and 98, 2001, X on Mac just kinda did that too me. Anyway, Businesses are going to start to really have options...

    Megahertz Myth...

    I'm really glad that there are other people seeing how great Services are! BTW, at VersionTracker you can download useful and fun services that are not coming from a specific application. I like to use Rainbowize Text, but there is a service that lets you open just the text (no formatting) of...

    No AppleWorks in new PowerBooks?

    ok, back on topic for this thread... AppleWorks is not included in "Power" Macs/Books because they are proffessional machines, and Appleworks is a consumer application. Proffessionals buy por machines with an intended purpose: if you need pro word processing or pro spreadsheet, you get...

    Megahertz Myth...

    Sort of along the line of Column View, don't forget the ability (in icon view) for Icon names to have a subtitle of, for example, # of items in the folder; pixel dimensions of the picture; remaining and used space on the disc or drive; and others I think. Also, the most uncelebrated feature...
