I've invested quite a bit of time and money in an effort to develop an OSX application which will read a realtime stream of physiological data and display this information for the user. I'm wondering before I delve too deep into studying Quartz if it is the way to go for constantly updating the...

Hey when and where is this conference/announcement that everyone is so eagerly anticipating taking place?

The column mode does indeed work. I didn't think to try that. I guess as a "switcher" I had some expectation about how new folders should be created at whatever level of hierarchy you had in mind. This column mode makes that possible. My intuition is different I suppose. I'll bug Apple about it...

This is an exceedingly and embarrassingly simple question I know but why is it that when I create a new folder in Finder that it is created NOT in the highlighted folder but in a parent folder? I promise to ask more enlightening questions at some point in the future.

Yes but where did you look in Apple System Profiler? This is the tool that is launched when one clicks on "About this Mac" but I cannot find any video ram size information shown. If you could tell me which tab you found this under that would help. My game performance could be significantly...

OOPS... I'm not sure what is going on. Strange. Sorry. I swear I'll stop typing on the keyboard now!!! :confused:

Let's hope that they can't be "bought" as it were like Connectix. Perhaps they have some spine?

Hmm... I was trying to post a query to another thread and somehow it ended up here. My sincerest apologies. I can edit the text but not delete the post. Augh.

I just spent the past couple of hours playing with this using the free download of the Return to Castle Wolfenstein single player demo which uses the Q3 Team Arena engine. Although I can get the mirror displays function to work properly (which is not what you're really looking for) I cannot get...

I had the same question arise myself. I found that the command key (as posted above) or the ctrl key could be pressed along with the arrow keys to get a home or end function in TextEdit. It's actually printed on the keys on the Powerbook. The option key pressed along with the arrow keys seems to...

Sweet! Gosh it seems so glaringly obvious to me now. Somehow after an hour of perusing the online help and the Knowledge Base I got nowhere. Thanks for your help.

I'm struggling to figure out how to configure Mail 1.2.3 to launch Mozilla instead of Internet Explorer when clicking on a hyperlink embedded in an email message. Any ideas? I've been able to configure the file associations in the operating system so that any files on my machine with *.htm...

Is there a Mac OSX utility which can be set up to display USB port activity in some meaningful way to a prospective developer in a terminal window? I've looked on VersionTracker.com and searched the Apple site itself to no avail.

You might try extracting the audio as a digital audio stream instead of analog using a PC equipped with a sound card offering both a digital or an analog audio stream option. These cards are actually more common than you might imagine (even my old Gateway PC has both options which can be...

Just how much performance are you looking for? A lower end processor can offer cooler temps and therefore require less (or no) fan activity. I think the cube may have used exclusively conduction cooling. Can anyone verify this? A solid-state storage device would also eliminate noise if you have...

Ironically, my battery has fallen out and danced on the concrete below my feet. Not a pleasant sight after only a week of ownership. What's the approach then to keeping the battery in place? The latch which appears to be made of a weak white plastic material uses just a bit of friction rather...

I appreciate your detailed reply. I reviewed the man page for top and did what you recommended. I actually wrote out 60 iterations (once per second) of top over a minute and then watched the PV window. Strange thing is that although these processes with user = "???" and garbled text for names...

I'm wondering if Apple would be "open" and willing to let a customer review their firmware/hardware thermal timing analysis given the "open" nature of the software and OS platform. I'm finding that I am having some rather severe system crashes for which the AppleCare folks keep suggesting an...

Lots of interesting thoughts come to mind on this one but I'm not claiming to have the answer. Capacitors or inductors are typical culprits for noise creation issues like you are describing because they mechanically resonate at certain frequencies. Perhaps there is a filter capacitor in there...

Interestingly no I don't see these mysterious "????" processes in a terminal window when running "top". I keep both the process viewer window and the terminal open side by side to monitor their respective activity. I'm running Jaguar 10.2.3 btw... Thanks for your assistance.
