Last I read Leopard will only read ZFS, not write. Down the line I'm sure it will support it fully, but even then it will be an option, not the default. There is a MacBreak Tech episode that goes into detail with ZFS. It's cool, but I agree, it's not necessary for most of us.

I have nothing really to add here, but that makes me so freakin' angry. I knew Windows deactivated with a hardware change -- which is bad enough -- but Office too? I need to lie down before I burst something...

I don't know, Major Burns, 4 years is not very old; right on the cusp of acceptability IMO. I agree 6+ years is fair enough, but the eMacs/Powerbook 800Mhz should be able to run it. Still, I do agree that in order to push the new features it does make sense. Particularly core animation, time...

I have an AppleTV and absolutely love it, but I would never, ever recommend it for anyone else. I feel I am in a unique position where it is handy to me because of the way my home theatre is set up, but for most it is would be useless 99% of the time. @lbj yes I agree -- having everything...

I don't usually like recycling digg links, but this one was just too amazing to pass up. Photo is of a lecture theatre on an unnamed college campus. I have noticed this trend at my local uni, also. Not nearly to this extent, but it is definitely growing very fast...

Apple Insider reports on this situation. I have unconfirmed reports that this is a picture of the woman who is suing apple:

@irfaan we can only speculate of course. It has been 134 days since the last major update, so it would seem unlikely they will announce anything soon. My guess is the next update will be MacWorld, but with the Xmas season coming up, and the MacBooks looking out of place with the rest of the...

enough with the multiple versions!! stop the insanity!!

rumor has it Leopard is nearing final candidate. I seem to remember reading the 29th of october somewhere, but I can't remember where. Do you think they will have a keynote, or just release it? I mean, they have talked about Leopard at length in two prior keynotes -- I don't think i can sit...

I don't think Woz will every return to Apple. And even if he did, he has made it very clear that he has never wanted a management role in Apple -- he only ever wanted to be an engineer. He just would not be able to do what Steve does (and vice versa) -- that's why they made such a good team in...

there have been many, many stories of steve jobs being a very scary man to work under. Like the story about the workers who got into a lift with Jobs, and were fired by the time it reached their floor. There was also the story where Jobs was going to be Time man of the year (someone please...

I agree, definately a possibility. And even if not apple, we really need another company giving Adobe some decent competition (you know, like Macromedia...before it was bought by someone.....). Competition is so great for softwware development and innovation -- Photoshop especially is too big at...

the other options are best, but just cos I can, another option is to use Soundflower and an audio recorder of any type (I use QuickTime Pro, but that is not free). Install SoundFlower then go into System prefs and click on the Sound pane. Then set both input and output to Soundflower 2ch...

£269 / AU $641 / US $535 + minimum monthly fee of £35 / AU $83 / US $70 that's awfully expensive. I know the old argument of 'people said the same thing about the iPod at first' etc etc, but the iPod didn't carry contracts, monthly bills, and data plans. there's no doubt the iPhone will be...

It's a shame people have had such a sour reaction to the price drop, as it seems to have completely overshadowed what was otherwise pretty spectacular announcements. I wonder what the brand awareness is for the new iPod line? My guess is not very strong -- all anyone has been talking about in...

cheers guys, not bad ideas at all. I wonder if I can build a simple "AppleTV Shoe" out of wood. I notice there are small ~5mm gaps around the edges. I could get a slab of wood and glue or screw together little wooden tabs to slot inside the recesses snugly. that's just crazy enough to work!

thanks guys. well I bought the strips, but unfortuantely it didn't work. I actually think they *would* have been strong enough, except that the Apple TV's rubber base is about the only surface that they don't stick to!! very annoying to say the least. back to the drawing board I guess...

Thanks eric -- didn't know about that. rather expensive of course, esp. adding overseas shipping, but a great option. I was hoping for a DIY option though, using stuff from the hardware store? I've spent so much these last few weeks getting this home theatre stuff ready I don't want to spend...

yeah, accoding to the Buyer's Guide the MBP is in mid cycle, so it is very unlikely it will receive an upgrade. And even if it did, it would not be significant. There is always an element of risk, of course. Like when front row was released for Tiger they introduced the remote. So it is...
