There are loads of forums on Macosx.com (no bad thing), however I don't often have time to look at them all or keep up with conversations. It would be interesting if on the homepage there could either be an aggregation of top topics or even better a selection of topics which matched a profile...

Bring first into a market is no gaurentee of success and usually means that someone comes a long and does it better later. The iPod is a case in point it wasn't the first Mp3 player nor the first with a hrad drive but it looked at the mistakes and made it better. To a certain extent you could...

Just thought I'd update this - as I've fixed the problem now. The problem was with Mac cam an open source driver for USB webcans in OSX. Seems that with that installed - if you get your login wrong it dumps you out of the Aqua interface into console mode. Solution uninstall Mac cam...

I have a very strange problem with OSX. It's running on my Imac (flat panel) latest version blah blah. It was all working swimmingly until a couple of days ago. I have a mutli user setup where users click on their pic and type in their password. All fairly standard and it was all working...

The Register reckon it was a Dell http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/54/28245.html :p

Imagine a world where shapes were subject to copyright laws - you'd have some very intersting shaped computers. Teh new Apple Polygon perhaps ;)

That's the world's ugliest computer However wasn't the apple cube a rip-off of the cobalt cube? Was gonna make a joke about Rubic cubes but have decided against it ;)

I'd be suprised that Annanova were covering the story if it was just rumour. However they do drop an interseting line in: "It was not immediately clear in which products Apple will use the IBM PowerPC 970 or whether they will be the foundation of an entirely new system" This of course...

Just found thia article on Annanova: http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_689753.html Seems the future is definately IBM 64bit

598Mips (Typical) 2.2Bips (int) 2.9 Gigaflop (fractal thingy ;) ) Better than my old Bondai!

I read this article on The Register http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/25878.html All very interesting - but I'm confused now. What does Longhorn do that OSX doesn't will OSX keep up? I also remember that Apple have taken on senior BeOS people. I'm sure that BeOS rejected the...

You're best bet is probably www.adslguide.org.uk a spiffing bunch who can hel pwith most hardware or config problems. :D

It's just too damn sexy you have to have one. Even my girlfriend loves it (she stormed out of the shop when she saw the price!) :D However once it was out of the box - with new computer smell........ No but seriously - it's much better than I thought it would be - It even comes with a...

Finally got my new Imac on Saturday. Best purchase I've ever made. Every detail on the machine is fantastic (including the little grey cloth they give you to clean it) :D It's super quick as well (well compared to my little Bondai imac running OSX - chug chug whirr whirr) Finally I have a...

Hi, I've written a small java App - which sends a request to a web sever (which then emails me my IP address). It does some other stuff as well but that's not important. Using Cron it runs every 4 hours. However if my Internet connection drops - it doesn't automatically reconnect when...

Sums the new imac up perfecly. And so well written ;)

I am very much in agreement with Island Jordon. The iMac is not a computer that should be judged by the same bench marks as a server or a high end workstaion. That is not it's purpose. This is an ailen concept in computers a way of looking at things differently - hence the different...

That is way too cool. I gotta have me one of those. G4 15" LCD Super drive. Arrgh reality distortion field in full effect! ;)

I first looked at it and thought - yeuuurrgh However it's a a grower. The more I think about it and the more I look at my angle poise lamp I think how cool would it be to have a pooter like that. The angle poise is a design classic and hopefully this mac is too. The flexibility of a...

Yup I'm a developer. On Win2k boxes most of the day uuuuurrrrgghhh and MacOSX at night! Woo Hoo! :p
