    What's the best bluetooth phone to use with my mac?

    I'm looking for a new phone (preferably one offered by voicestream)...everyone says the t68i is CRAP. I need it to have bluetooth, and I definately want some sort of camera attachment. I've heard that with iSync, I can automatically sync my address book (and therefore, all my #'s) without having...

    Pixar to switch to Mac

    Hmmmm...I know it's a long shot, but what does Pixar DO with all those "old" year old G5's when they're done with them? E-bay? Auction? Throw them in the dumpster? Donate them to schools? I wannnnnt one.

    Convincing To Switch

    I totally agree. You won't see me driving 30 minutes to go watch Bill Gate's keynotes, like I do all the Apple ones. I take off of work and school to go to the Apple store and see those. But at the same time, if you use Windows, you won't die. To each his own, I suppose. I'm just glad that MY...

    the blaster.worm....and this saturday

    Haha....Windows 95= Mac 88. Has anyone seen the Windows 95 video, when Bill is introducing it? He has a HUGE circus tent on the M$ campus, a live band (I think it may have been Beck) playing, thousands of fans, press, and computer experts/journalists in attendence, and as he's introducing...

    iBook power questions

    There's no way to charge the iPod while your mac is asleep...the mac needs to be awake to power the firewire port.

    the blaster.worm....and this saturday

    I was just reading articles in the Washington Post and various other papers, and they said that this was a VERY sloppily written worm...rather than writing the source code by hand, they simply copied and pasted code from an existing worm. The worm only scans a certain number of ports, and rather...

    Bringing back old Ad campaign?

    I'd love to see a Radiohead commercial for Apple....or Ming + FS (they're the concept electronic musicians who were in the Nissan Altima commercial, who made the music out of sound effects recorded from the car...they recorded the sound of slamming the door, starting the engine, the turn...

    Convincing To Switch

    I hate to say it, since I'm a mac-bigot most of the time, and I'll defend Apple to the death, but...at the end of the day, when everything's said and done, it's just a computer. Reminds me of those fake switch ads (like the one with Clyde Smork), when he says "and when I used Windows, my...

    iChat A/V interesting little feature

    Same thing happenns to me, and I can't STAND it. Not a big fan of the fact that I can't add FULL address book info (phone #, address, birthday) through the iChat user info window....I have to go and open Address Book to do it.

    Airport or generic network for 2 macs & a PC

    Thanks bobw. I know nothing about networking whatsoever....in order to share my printer among all 3 machines, I just have to get a router with a USB port to plug my printer into, correct?

    PowerPod?

    I'm LOVING that new sony Clie...the "mini laptop" model with Wi-Fi and bluetooth capabilities. If it weren't for the price ($700) and the fact that it's not Mac compatible (although I don't see why it wouldn't be, don't Clie's run Palm OS?) I'd get one...like a little movie theater in my...

    Airport or generic network for 2 macs & a PC

    I want to network our household computers (2 LCD iMacs and an HP) to share the same broadband connection and printer. My question is this...would I be better off buying an Airport base station, 2 airport cards, and a Linksys (sp) card for the HP, or Linksys networking hardware, and 2 airport...

    Is there something wrong with my iPod?

    I'll leave my 3rd generation iPod on the dock overnight, and it'll say "charged" (indicating a full charge) on the screen...I'll take it off for 30 seconds and replace it, to update my iTunes library, and instead of being fully charged, it'll spend an hour recharging, even though it was 100%...

    Convincing To Switch

    I hate to say it....but if he's a serious gamer, he'd be better off with a PC (at least for gaming)...or better yet, a $300 console. PC's have better video cards...thats just the way it is. PC's have the newest and greatest games...it's a fact of life. I have a mac (my third new mac in 2 years)...

    Performance on old Powerbooks?

    I agree..but it makes no sense to buy something that's already outdated...I'd imagine a G4 400 tiBook is around 1k USD right now...same as a new iBook with a warranty.

    Performance on old Powerbooks?

    I've heard that the iBook 900's absolutely kill the 1st gen tiBooks. 4x the VRAM (32 vs. 8MB), same bus speed, nice fast HD, and the 900 g3 trounces the altivitec enhanced 400mhz G4.

    Performance on old Powerbooks?

    Althought....the new iBook will absolutely DESTROY the G4 (400) Powerbook in any test you can throw at it, Altivitec and otherwise....why not get an iBook?

    How do I turn off my iPod when docked?

    Yesterday, I took my iPod off the dock for about 60 seconds...the rest of the day, it was charging. I went to bed with it fully charged, and still on the dock. Right before bed, I had a kernel panic (my third in 2 weeks....odd), and decided to just leave the power on my iMac off. When I woke up...
