    quicker dvd movie burning???

    I'm going to drop a plug for the Apple TV here. Rip the movies, auto sync to the ATV and lock the actual discs away. You have all your movies available all the time with no searching or fumbling. And while your kids may get PB&J on the ATV, your movies will still be safe.

    would you trust this software?

    The same company makes GarageSale which is pretty much the top rated eBay auction generator for the Mac. I have trusted GarageSale with the same information for over a year now.

    Is this covered by warranty?

    You can press further as long as you like...you never when persistence will pay off. As for my personal opinion, you have "worn" these ear plugs out and you should replace them with new ones.

    Advice PLEASE!!???

    Actually, tactfully delivered, and at the appropriate level (ie., not a floor sales rep) could very well get you free AppleCare or a BestBuy gift card. Excellent advice g/re/p. But remember, tactful. Be firm but non-confrontational (getting him/her to admit a lie may be counter-productive--use...

    Problem upgrading to OS 10.4.2

    exactly correct. and rumor has it that a final Tiger version may be forthcoming, 10.4.11 and as mentioned, but just to reiterate, 10.4.11 > 10.4.10 > 10.4.2 your computer won't let you downgrade the OS

    M$ releases new Zunes

    "Will all iPod models (and iPhone) fit? Of course! The Zune is so incredibly huge that there’s plenty of room for any iPod or iPhone along with your choice of accessories, a sack lunch, and maybe a small cat." : )

    Apple TV on the road of success ?

    So do cassette tapes. What's your point? : ) As for the issue of storing large numbers of movies in iTunes, if you option drag a title into iTunes, the original will stay where intended...in my case, an external drive. As long as the external remains connected while ATV syncs the "aliased"...

    Apple TV on the road of success ?

    I've been using one for two weeks now, and it's favorite Mac device since the original iPod. The potential hasn't even begun to be tapped yet. No shuffling DVDs or tapes. No more piling around the Mac to view slideshows. When rentals are available, at prices below the local stores, all the...

    iPhone reaches one million in sales

    How could this possibly be a bad thing? They created a product to sell...and it is selling...slightly better than predicted. Seems like a perfect scenario to me. Exceed expectations so you remain Wallstreet's little darling, but not so much that you are in imminent danger of not meeting demand.

    Look again

    I will have to try some of the ale because I don't believe there is an accident. I see mainly shadows from the tower truss and cables. Golden Gate bridge is very heavily traveled and unless the photographer clicked right as two cars bumped, you would see significant back-up in just 10 to...

    buying macbook on ebay

    If you live in a decent sized town, try craigslist. You get a broad product base (not eBay broad, but still better than your local bulletin board) and get to deal face-to-face.

    best bit torrent client for mac?

    Ha! That's exactly what I thought as I read the GUI comment. It's like Porsche releasing their latest high-speed variant and proudly proclaiming "You'll find the styling identical to a Chevrolet..." Yeah, a GUI identical to Azureus is not something you brag about.

    The new iMac, HOLY COW

    Someone else posted about the question of a touch screen. I don't get the touch screen love in a desktop. I hate reaching for the mouse as it is...I can't even imagine having to reach for the screen to select a command. In a handheld device, touch screen makes total sense. Otherwise, I...
