My sincere condolences to Londoners. Hope everyone's all right.

Yes, I think that's correct -- the "120 minute" designation refers mostly to stand alone DVD recorders. I'm not familiar with how Toast converts video, but part of the issue may be that set-top recorders typically can use Dolby Digital audio - which uses lossy compression, and so takes up...

A 1.25 gig file should fit onto a data DVD just fine, regardless of what kind of file it is. However, if you're trying to burn a video DVD - as in, playable in a set-top player - you should know that DVD-Rs (single layer variety, at least) hold a LOT less data than a factory-minted...

You have, I hope, emptied your trash?

Actually, that is not entirely true. Patent infringement gives you grounds for a civil lawsuit; it's not a criminal offense. If you don't sue people who infringe your patents, no law enforcement body will take any action. To enforce your patent, you must file a suit and pay all costs...

I'd like to get one of the new dual-layer-DVD-burning Superdrives for my G5. Does anyone know: (A) what make & model that drive is (B) where's a good place to order one and (C) Will it work in my 2004 G5, or not?

I use it a couple of times a day. It works great for me.

When I want to sync pictures with my new iPod Photo, I can't see any of my iPhoto albums in iTunes! I can sync pictures from a folder, but not an album. Also - in a presumably related problem - in Motion 2, if I click Photos under the Library tab - no albums. I have tried rebuilding my...

I got mine yesterday; it works beautifully with my new 30GB iPod Photo and my Canon S500. I was amazed to see that it even transferred the movie clips from the Canon, though of course, the iPod couldn't play them back ;-). Very nice little piece of hardware - the moment you connect it, the...

Thanks for the clarification - noted. ;)

Whatever actual processor they use, it will use the x86 instruction set. http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/universal_binary/universal_binary.pdf ...talks about (among other things) the x86 equivalents of the AltiVec operations.

Microsoft's success has, without question, led to Apple switching to Intel. It is this unbroken line of causality, rather than any specific technical concern, that bothers me most about this whole thing. Intel isn't Microsoft; but Intel wouldn't be where they are without Microsoft. In the...

The hummer thing was just a metaphor for the (admittedly irrational) way I'd feel to see OS X running on a crappy PC. I never said it was a good metaphor for REALITY. <g> Apple would like nothing better than for OS X to be as commonplace as windows, and for OS X to be a much-less excluisive...

Wiz - we get the point. I know squat about Cell, and in any event, it's not happening. You want cell, I want this all to be a bad dream, but neither of us is getting his wish.

Based on the quotes I read, Jobs did his very best to spin this whole thing positively. But frankly, I think nobody's going to remember how he said it. What they'll remember is that Macs - as a different hardware option - are going away -- even though it's not technically true. Jobs has...

Here's an observation: 10.4 loudly trumpeted it's 64-bit capabilities. Yet, mainstream pentium chips aren't 64bit. This certainly seems to suggest that today's pentiums will NOT be in macs.

Oh, the hummer thing is viscerally true, but illogical, I admit. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Pentium's architechture partly to blame for windows' vulnerability to worms and viruses?

The links say Jobs ran OSX on a Pentium at the conference, but that the box was not revealed. Either he's got it running on a (barf) PC, or it's some kind of custom-built prototype. Any thoughts on this, anyone? Another thing: On some level it will really, REALLY annoy me if someday...

Thanks for the links. As for 'rosetta' - that's what I meant by emulation; as I understand it Motion pushes a loaded G4 nearly to it's limit, and even gives a G5 a serious workout. If this is true, I just can't see emulators doing the job. In fact, I wonder if a Pentium-based version with...

LINKS! PLEEZE are there any official post-keynote links?!?!?!??!
