A friend of mine has erased a file on her Mac Book Pro running OS X 4.11. Once upon a time, the Norton Utilities would have been able to recover that erased file in an instant, but as Symantec have left the path of Mac Wisdom, that isn't an option. So is there any way to recover the missing...

A certain person, who shall remain nameless (*cough*Natobasso*cough*) and ol' CQ have been battling for a while now over which is the better package – QuarkXPress or InDesign. Neither of us will budge. :D So what do other MacOSX users think?

The World Parrot Trust has been canvassing the European Commission to make permanent the temporary ban on importing wild-caught birds into the EU. Full details of the campaign, and CQ's small part in it can be found here, but BE WARNED, this link to my 'other home forum' contains an image of...

The Independent today featured an article about a number of browsers. Among those listed was a Mac browser that I've never heard of before called Shiira. It's an open-source Japanese browser that seems to be trying to do to Safari what Mozilla did to Nutscrape… errrr sorry: Netscape. Ever...

This is from one of my fave sites,Engrish.com – just to remind me why I hate PCs! Anyone got any good Mac error messages?

It has been mooted by Swedish Television that the Ferrari that took part in the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony was supposed to have done 5 donuts to represent the 5 Olympic rings. Like everything else they did in 2005, they b@llsed that one up too! ::ha:: :rolleyes: Check the clip here...

I've recently taken delivery of Call of Duty 2 for the PC (yuk). What an awesome game! Without a doubt, the best CoD yet! Problem is, we want it on the Mac too, but Aspyr have yet to announce whether or not they will be porting it. Obviously they need to know that there is demand for it. So...

Please help The World Parrot Trust to put an end to the barbaric trade in wild-caught birds. "African grey parrots are among the most heavily harvested of all parrots, with tens of thousands arriving in the EU each year. Many fail to survive the arduous journey due to disease and...

I'm a graphic designer with a fairly substantial collection of fonts. These fonts are vital to my ability to design and produce the publications I am so proud of. But I had some nightmare issues with my fonts when upgrading Mac OS X –*until I learned the trick described below. At this point...

I'm currently putting together a website for a film production company. Naturally, they want a few sample clips. In spite of my specifying QuickTime-compatible MPEG files, the fools have supplied me with WMV files for Windows Media Player. My problem is this: the client has e-mailed me the...

I've been working in print for over 20 years now, but some fool decided that it was time for the old dog to learn a new trick. Lo and behold, CaptainQuark becomes CorporalDreamweaver. :( One of my resposibilities is to create and distribute the company's e-newsletter. At the moment, I...

We've got a thread called "What song are you playing now?". Sometimes I look a the track someone is listening to and wonder what else that person has in their iTunes. So here's the opportunity to find out who's got what and give it a bit of the old "Eeeeeeeeuuuwwww – you mean you listen to...

You've seen it all before, I'm sure, but I think we need such a thread here: Desert island, marooned, iPod etc. Which 5 albums would you absolutely have to have on your iPod to maintain your sanity? 1. Blackwater Park – Opeth 2. Damnation – Opeth 3. Viva Emptiness – Katatonia 4...

Just what is a "World Leak" when closing Safari windows? I have searched Apple's site and various other sources and not found any info on this subject at all.

Had a silly idea for a new game to amuse those of us who obviously don't have enough work to do, so keep posting here instead. Take two (or more) pictures that suggest something else. Try to work out what the poster is think about and post an image of the reply. For example: (canary)...
