    "isn't it weird too that it says he was trying to view "Pictures of an unreleased update to his computer's operating system" i think he was probably looking for 10.5 screenshots.

    Burning DVD's with a CD Burner

    if what you mean is that you can burn dvd quality video on a CD, there is a format for this, Super Video CD. The article linked below suggests most players will play them. You just can't fit nearly as much on each disc. Toast 7 will burn SVCDs using a CD burner...

    Booting from CD woes

    when i couldn't boot my 17" from my drive 10 cd, I was sent the following from micromat: "Your 17" PB came out after the Drive 10 v1.1.2 CD and the CD does not contain the newer Mac OS components needed to boot it. The current Drive 10 CDs will boot it. We suggest updating to Drive 10...

    Library sharing in iTunes 4... OVER THE INTERNET.

    an excellent collection...i just browsed it to see how the sharing worked. i think it is a good feature, as now i have a few ideas for things to buy at the music store. it has been said ad nauseam that people who want to steal will, i don't think this feature will promote that, i.e., if...

    FCP 4.0 Educational upgrade $399

    If you are at a University with a bookstore,once they get FCP4 their price might be lower than what you see at apple.com (here's the rub, my experience has been that ours is slow in getting things) a couple of examples: if one goes to the standard Apple Store for Education, keynote is $79...

    Article: "Report: Mac users outsmart PC users"

    I would have thought that someone else would have posted this. (if they have, I'm sorry.) I guess there aren't many folks on this board who also cruise around msn.com. http://msn.com.com/2100-1103-943557.html Also, It's something we all already knew.

    What's the plural of mouse??

    i'm not sure if the case of mouse/mouses is analogous, but one can look at the case of the word "fish". the plural of the word fish is, as everyone knows, fish. (e.g., i saw three fish). however fishes is a perfectly acceptable word. in the previous example, if two of the fish were trout and one...

    MacWorld Tokyo

    I know there was the issue of fees, but does anyone think there is a possiblity of seeing Quicktime 6? Or is that not the kind of thing that happens at macworld, but rather at the next quicktime show? Also, would also love to see DVD studio pro for X. Maybe these are just pipe dreams. (if...

    Another whiner

    i guess it is the job of a reviwer, but i still have a problem with people suggesting because something doesn't work the way they think it should that it is "dismal". sure there are things i don't like about X, but were i asked to design an os that works perfectly for all kinds of users, i'd...

    Goodbye "Think Different"!

    I think there is a slight misunderstanding amongst many who read "think different". The implication isn't change the way you think, which whould be "think differently". It is when you think of a mac, think of something that is different from the normal computer - hard to use, unaccomodating, and...
