    Microsoft opening Word/Excel file formats

    What does this mean for Apple? What about the potential/rumored "Apple Office suite"? http://news.com.com/2100-1012-5111644.html?tag=nefd_lede This could be great news for Apple, I think. Especially if this is a open as it appears to be.

    Finally, OS X shipping with VIM!

    Sorry. Geeky, I know. But I use vi quite a lot, and the old vi just sucks. vim is the best of those out there. Nice to see Apple not make me go download and install it myself.

    What if "Project" is next?

    There has been rampant speculation about iWorks (or whatever) and replacements for Word and Office. Apple began by introducing Keynote, with the implication that presentation software could be done better. Also Safari and a direct shot at IE. Could Apple's next target be less frontal...

    I'm wondering...product "grid"...

    I'm kind of wondering if this is the direction Apple is going (regardless of naming). If it were me I'd do the "e", "i", "Power" and "X" thing across the board. But there are reasons why Apple probably cannot (current trademarks for example). But what if this is the way things are looking:

    Services menu

    There are a couple of points to this thread. First is to ask how many people have really started leveraging the "Services" menu? This was a truly cool concept from the NEXTSTEP days that has received precious little attention (as far as I can tell). I'm just wondering if this is because few...

    Why can't multiple CPUs solve the performance gap?

    I am no hardware engineer (and frankly I suspect that some of those that speak with such "authority" on these board about suhc issues, are not either). Anyway, my question is this...why can't multiple CPU's be a solution to the performance gap? In particular, as my use of a multi-tasking...

    Brainstorming Rendezvous...

    I have been thinking a bit about Rendezvous lately. I am coming to the conclusion that this is potentially the coolest thing Apple has done in...well...in a LONG time. Cool on several levels...simplicity of it...the "standard-ness" of it...cool. But...now it is time to begin...

    Will Apple (circa 2010) be a "computer" company any more?

    I have been thinking a bit about this lately. I've tried to figure out where Apple is going (in a larger picture sense of the word, not so much when is the G5 coming out). I presume (and hope) that Apple's leadership has though carefully about long term company strategy (as well as short-term...

    5270 terminal emulation

    I have the need to be able to do 5270 terminal emulation. I'd like to do this in Terminal. Does anyone know of a way to configure Terminal to do this? If not Terminal, is there a product for OS X that would enable this for me?

    Sharity works, Finder does not

    I made my first attempt to mount an Windows shared (SMB) file system. Unfortunately, I was unable to do this directly from the Finder. I get a "No file services provided at URL" or some such thing. I downloaded Sharity and (eventually) made it work). Sharity is nice, but really, I'd like...

    Why doesn't Apple buy Avid and Silicon Graphics?

    Before MacWorld Expo there were a number of rumors, some of which even involved possible Apple acquisitions. Palm. Avid. OmniGroup. Even Adobe was mentioned in passing. My question is this...with Apple's obvious bent toward media, multimedia, creative professionals, etc. Why doesn't Apple...

    deleting OS 9 applications?

    I have a new iBook, and I am (nearly 100%) utilizing OS X. As I browse through the "Applications (Mac OS 9)" folder, there are a number of applications that I will never use, and some that are duplicates of the OS X applications I do use. Is it safe to delete some/all of these, such as: -...
