Just wondering what people think of the issues of iOS 6 and Apple Maps. After viewing "how insanely great" the new Apple Maps was supposed to be compared to Google Maps App vs actual user experience, I am delaying upgrading my iPhone 4S from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6. Apple certainly seems to have...

I forgot to mention turning down the display brightness - I have it set to about 25%. This will help with extending battery life. Now that Apple has established itself as a technology leader, it would be nice to have it allocate resources to improve batteries in general. If any company could...

Received my iPhone 4S the 2nd week of December. Like my work BlackBerry, the battery life is not what I expected. I went to the Apple Store on 14th Street and 9th Avenue in NYC to inquire about how to extend the battery life. If you are like most people who do not travel often, go to Location...

Hi All, Just wondering what experiences members of the Mac Community have had with the new iPhone 4S. I work in New York City for a pharmaceutical company treating cancer and a few people in our company have received their latest iPhones. I ordered one and am on a long waiting list to get...

Does anyone have experience running WINE on Mac OS X? Today I found, downloaded, and installed WineBottler Combo (Wine included) and successfully ran NotePad++ as an independent "wrapped" application. "Wrapped" means Wine is wrapped around NotePad++ and placed in a container package that Mac...

A month and a half with Amazon Kindle 3G. After having the Amazon Kindle 3G for a month and a half I have to say that I'm pleased with the purchase. It is a very good reading device for eBooks and scientific PDF files, though I found a way to read the PDFs without zooming in - view in...

I downloaded the Kindle App for both my iPod Touch and my Mac. I've spent a week reading some free eBook classics - H.G. Wells "The Time Machine", and installed the New Oxford American Dictionary. I'm very impressed with eBook technology and the ability to instantly lookup word meanings...

Thank you everyone for all of your responses. With the help of some people at work I was able to transfer to and view some files on their Amazon Kindle 2 and Kindle DX. The journal articles were difficult to read on Kindle 2 unless using magnification. Viewing the journal articles on Kindle...

Hi Everyone, I'm inquiring if anyone is using the iPad as a PDF/eBook reader. What is the real-time experience with battery life? Can PDF files be 'dropped' into a folder like with the Amazon Kindle? Are there issues with screen reflective glare? If so, are mat non-reflective glare...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has had success getting internet sharing to work with Mac OS X and other devices. I did a search on the board and really couldn't find a definitive answer. My PowerMac G5 died, and recently bought a Mac Mini Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM. The Mac Mini is...

It's still in development. The Wall Street Journal had a huge write-up about the Apple iPad and the competition gunning for it. Microsoft was specifically mentioned as having an independent laboratory/firm working on an iPad competitor. The mobile market is going to get very interesting in...

The Micorsoft Courier is real, the Wall Street Journal had an article earlier this week about that device and others that are/will be competing with the iPad.

If anyone read my post on the first page, it looks like Microsoft is going to fulfill the features I mentioned. As an Apple fan boy and an Apple stock holder, THIS is exactly what the iPad should have been WITHOUT the split the screen...

Dear Apple/Mr. Steve Jobs, The iPad a large iPod Touch with multi-touch gestures. I don't see any compelling features that sets it apart from iPod Touch or a laptop. Where's the built-in camera and microphone for video conversations? Where's the built-in camera for taking pictures of people...

Does anyone know why Google Chrome is so large? It's 100.5 MB on my Mac Mini! It is incredibly fast, faster than Firefox (50.7 MB on disk). Since switching from PowerPC to Intel, I've noticed that operating system updates are twice as large as for Intel compared to PowerPC. Any suggestions?

I recently purchased a MacMini because my PowerMac G5 w/ duel G5s died - CPU1 works half the time. I successfully transferred EVERYTHING from the G5 to the MacMini. Also purchased a used corporate IBM ThinkPad T40 with Windows XP Professional. This ThinkPad is also registered to my iTunes...

Just wanted to clarify that the installation I performed was not an upgrade. It was a fresh installation, and the dock behave normally for the first few point fixes. OpenOffice worked fine too, then on the last upgrade, the strange behavior started. Last night I the computer simply locked up...

I just upgraded my PowerMac G5 to Leopard last month, successfully integrated all information from a corrupted hard drive that could not start up. Every was working fine until a few Leopard upgrades. System startup used to take just a few seconds, now takes almost a minute. I cannot move...

I'm a diehard Apple fan boy and am considering getting an iPhone, however, I've read some articles on the internet, including Slashdot, indicating that the iPhone is a great mobile computer but not a great phone. I've always used a Motorola mobile phone and they are great phones with very...

Tequila on me! Also, a really good bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon from SIMI or Sterling Vineyards.
