    What Changed You???

    I have always associated Microsoft with work, a place I am usually pretty intense. Things get stressful especially when a dialog from one program pops up in front of an email I'm trying to write in a hurry, or any number of various other things that happen against my expectation when using a...

    Dvd rip/compression software

    Handbrake. This one just compresses, don't know about ripping. Handy if you want to take a fave episode, or movie with you a trip and don't want to risk taking the original copy.

    Apple Announces MacBook Pro

    I guess Apple won't be comparing photoshop tests anymore. Just checking out the AltiVec benchmark figures at the XBench website (db.xbench.com) The new Intel Mac scores 44.64, my 1GHz iBook gets 56.80. Aha I win... well except for just about every other bench I get severly stomped on. No...

    Imac G4 Screen Faded to Black

    Sounds like the backlight on your LCD is dead. Try shinng a torch at the screen when the machine is switched on. If you can see a picture it means your LCD display is connected to the computer OK. If you still have warranty you should be able to get it fixed under that. If not there are...

    What 3 things do you want from Apple most? (computer hardware)

    10"!? That's a bit small. Measuring my keyboard from corner to corner I get about 11" That's would be the smallest size I think that I could live with. A laptop about the size of a full-size laptop keyboard - no space for a touchpad, but I guess the smart guys at apple could come up with a...

    What 3 things do you want from Apple most? (computer hardware)

    Hmmm.. Not for me - I prefer to watch movies/TV on a big screen, and having an aerial lead plugged into my laptop doesn't sound much fun. However if Apple were to produce a video version of the AirPort Express (AirPort Movie?), and modified iTunes so that I could do with my DVD collection...

    Mac OS X 10.3.9 Update: Top or Flop?

    I love Frykes sense of humour in creating this poll. :D I hope apple has removed the update - can't find it on their Software Update site. Managed to install fine for me though. So far :( (12" 1GHz powerbook)

    Tiger seems faster than Panther...

    Pass me a big slice of that humble pie and remind me never to get a job as a statistician. Throwing in that iBook made me read the graphs all wrong. :o Just give me three weeks, and I'll see if I can't get back with some more accurate figures.

    Tiger seems faster than Panther...

    Maybe it is me just being stupid... but the one thing that really stood out to me from these benchmarks is the improvement to the speed of the User Interface. Over all platforms: desktop and laptop, the other improvements didn't seem that consequential to me. Personally I was hoping for a...

    Mac vs. SUN Java... whats the diff??

    I think what wiz is saying is if they built your portal using Java version 1.5 (J2SE 5.0) then it wont work with the current version of OSX. If this is the case you can join the very long list of unhappy people who have wanted the new version of Java. Apples Java FAQ at...

    any CASE tools in mac ?

    If its for a class, or are just playing around you might want to try out BlueJ. It's a UML design tool that creates Java code, but doesn't turn Java to UML that I know of. It was created for a Uni class, and there are lots of downloadable papers. It's a Java App = cross platform, and all...

    The Subnotebook

    More on the PDA idea: there is a gadget made especially for writers and students with an 80 character display and full size keyboard. It's a heavily modified palm PDA, not a very powerful processor (68000) but really long battery life and the option to use AA batteries. I havn't seen one of...
