    How is your experience with powerbook g4

    New Alu PB G4 12" owner here... I've had mine for a month. Love it so far. Thin and light, but not at all skimpy. An amazingly rugged keyboard for its size. I got to play around with it at the Apple Store before I invested in it. The real value lies in the fact that all of the best...

    iTunes: Order of albums of an artist

    This has been a major gripe for me since I've started using iTunes. Basically, what we need is an option to have the tracks sorted primarily by artist (alpha) and secondarily by year (numeric), and thirdly by song number on the album (numeric). I also agree to the impracticality of renaming...

    MusicMatch and Dell are pathetic...

    The McDonald's promotion is with the Sony Connect music service. It's not being aggressively marketed, but its there. I have no idea as to how may free downloads were used from this service, but I do know that Sony's music service is pretty darn awful. Of course, they use their proprietary...

    System Shutdown Message

    I've experienced one of these also for the first time this week. Earlier that session, I had to Force Quit iTunes because it hung (swirling beach ball) when I was ripping a CD to mp3's. About an hour later I had Calculator running and the BSOD (sorry) showed up when I tried to open my Mozilla...

    How we listen/buy our music

    Aw shucks. No chance to check your system out? Just as well....I'm probably better off being blissfully ignorant about high-end audio. There is a Tweeter (a high-end home electronics store) right around the corner from my job, but I try to stay away from there. I assume that you are aware...

    How we listen/buy our music

    Wow. I assume that you're into classical or jazz -- music which would be well-arranged and nuanced so you would have sonic details to listen to in your set-up. It would be funny if you were that discriminating in your music set-up and listen to Britney Spears or 50 Cent. But anyway, it's...

    Apple and BMW team up for car audio device

    This announcement got me thinking. This move is just the next step in Apple's goal of having a piece of your music listening experience regardless of your setting. Remember Jobs' statement in assessing where people listen to music during the Airport Express launch (1-computer, 2-iPod, 3-car...

    OS X Tiger?

    I don't claim to be a historian on all things Apple, but it should be understood that OS X represented a completely revolutionary rebuild of the Mac OS. It was 4+ years in the making. Version 10.0 really amounted to a public beta of OS X. And version 10.1 was a free upgrade, but not with the...

    How we listen/buy our music

    With all due respect, although your honesty is appreciated, it is generally in poor taste to even suggest that you use that type of software, even for noncopyrighted material. This site has a 'zero tolerance' policy for that and I would hate for a moderator to close this interesting thread.

    How we listen/buy our music

    From the MacCentral site: http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/2004/06/07/jobsd/ "We looked at the most popular place people listen to their music," Jobs reportedly said during his keynote at "D." "The first place is on the computer; Second is the iPod; The third place is in the car -- right...

    Apple Finance?

    This is great advice. What tends to happen, although not as badly with Macs compared to Wintel boxes, is that when you spend several months paying for your computer, you quickly reach a point where it has depreciated beyond the balance you owe on it. With the rapid development of hardware and...

    white castle movie on apple site

    Funny thread... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"!!?? It amazes me that Hollywood would invest time and money into such drivel. This film looks like it in the same category as the upcoming 'Catwoman" -- completely unwatchable. Anyway, White Castle burgers are one of a handful of...

    *not true, just guessing* Wireless iPod

    But wouldnt protected content, i.e. music downloaded from iTMS, be prohibited from being shared in such a manner anyway? This type of casual sharing of would be problematic from the RIAA's perspective.

    Best web browser for OSX?

    I wanted to chime in here. I'm in the minority in that I use Mozilla 1.5 as my defaut browser. Certainly Safari is readily accessible in my dock, but I've preferred Mozilla since my Windoze days. Its best features include tabbed browsing available via context (right-click) menus...
