Depends on what you're in for. The MacBook / Pro line is overdue for an update. I was hoping for an update this month but I finally couldn't hold off an got me a top of the line 15" MBP to replace my 1st generation MBP. The iMac is also overdue AFAIK and so is the Mac Mini. I haven't been...

Not quite. The prices are FINALLY coming down to a reasonable level. You can get 2GB SO-DIMMS for around $250 now. Memory manufacturers/resellers have kept the prices high artificially to make some money for a while but I guess that's over with now. OWC and Transint'l also have some good deals...

I don't know what this means in Onyx's case since I'm not familiar with it. It could "only" be corrupted or otherwise (filesystem) files or a physical problem. Do check the drive with other utilities as well and make sure to run the deepest diagnostics available. This is normal OS X behaviour...

I agree. Is seems that Adobe has graduated from the Microsoft School of Confusion. On a side not: I am still waiting for those advantages that were promised by Adobe when they introduced their draconically enforced anti piracy activation scheme. They must have been forgotten. Where's the...

I'm not sure if repairing permissions is going to help. It is generally overrated, it won't hurt though. Bad memory is a frequent cause of system instability. If you have multiple memory modules installed remove them and test the system with on at a time or excluding one module at at time. If...

Well, I'm sure there's plenty of electronics companies/manufacturers that are a lot worse than Apple, especially when you take into account the longevity of Apple products and the whole life cycle of a product. But there is no point comparing Apple to the bad apples (no pun intended). One should...

http://www.greenpeace.org/international/press/reports/greener-electronics-guide I think it is a pity that Apple seems to think different (than Dell and others) on these issues. Apple's highly profitable products would allow them to be more responsible in this area or even be a leader...

Now that the new beast has been released I can't help but notice that despite its age the double-2.5 G5 PowerMac was and still is a beast of its own! I mean, how old is that configuration? Looking at Apple's shiny performance comparisons which I would take as rather best-case-scenario in favour...

I haven't specifically tried MacStumbler on the MacBook Pro. I don't have any issues joining the Airport network using the MBP though, so I didn't bother testing. What baffles me is that the Ti PB is able to connect to (and MacStumbler does see) other Airport networks. What I forgot to...

After using my Airport Express base station for more than two years without problems I have recently started to have one particular issue: I can see (and connect to) the AX fine on my MBP but my old Ti PB (w/ 11Mbps Airport) can't even see the Airport network anymore. MacStumbler doesn't list...

I actually saw that movie about 3 weeks after 9/11. The irony of it would be too funny hadn't been there so much suffering and death on 9/11.

It's been a long time this thread has been dead. With 3 years passed when this discussion was on, I have reread some of it. I was especially startled by your comment, MDLarson. Do youy realize how much off your view of the whole issue was three years ago? I hope you do. The WMDs have never...

BUT (and that's a huge but) the AX's range is a joke compared to other B/G routers/access points. I love my AX but I am fed up with the limited range so I have decided to get me a Linksys WRT54G and try to get a WDS network going with the two, including Airtunes. There's How-Tos on the net, but...

OK, I was just joking about the 4GHz. Of course you can't say it is a 4GHz box but I like thinking of it being one. Hypothetically. But technically incorrect.

2GHz Dual Core. 2GHz x 2 = 4 GHz. Easy, eh?

My new 4GHz Intel Powerbook definitely runs hotter than my old 867MHz 15" Titanium. Under normal usage the heat is quite tolerable for my laps but when I run something like Win 2K under Parallels or other CPU intensive stuff it does get a tad too hot. I'd trade in lower temperatures for higher...

Freedom of choice never hurt computer users. I for one welcome the great alternatives to VPC I now have on my shiny new Intel Powerbook. At last I can get rid of Virtual PC! Personally I like Parallel's approach since I don't need a Wintendo but rather want to run a number of Win-only apps I...

I was in fact able to rip "Hotel Splendide" without any errors. Quite fast, too (I got 45fps encoding to an MPEG-4 file with a 1000kbps rate). I'll do more testing when I find the time, using other apps (MacTheRipper, OSEx etc.) on other DVDs and post the results here. One thing I don't...

This is getting weirder every time I try. Now I played another RC4 movie (Paul Morrissey's "Heat") and It played fine. I then tried a RC0 disc ("Hotel Splendide") that didn't play the last time I tried and It did play but the picture was all garbled and it crashed VLC after about 5 seconds of...

OK, I got my Intel PB yesterday and I have just tried to play several DVDs I own with different regions (0, 1, 2, 4 and 9) using VLC. The drive seems to be set to region 2 (which makes sense since I live in Europe). I got a RC9 and all RC2 discs I tried to play but nothing else. Seems like I'll...
