    (Music) consumers' wishes are finally heard

    EMI makes the start! Looks like at least they finally decided to give the consumers what they want and not what their stock holders want. I hope this triggers the domino effect that many of us have been waiting for!

    Dell, others beat Apple on environmental standards

    http://www.greenpeace.org/international/press/reports/greener-electronics-guide I think it is a pity that Apple seems to think different (than Dell and others) on these issues. Apple's highly profitable products would allow them to be more responsible in this area or even be a leader...

    Mac Pro combined thread

    Now that the new beast has been released I can't help but notice that despite its age the double-2.5 G5 PowerMac was and still is a beast of its own! I mean, how old is that configuration? Looking at Apple's shiny performance comparisons which I would take as rather best-case-scenario in favour...

    Airport Express - Not visible to all Macs

    After using my Airport Express base station for more than two years without problems I have recently started to have one particular issue: I can see (and connect to) the AX fine on my MBP but my old Ti PB (w/ 11Mbps Airport) can't even see the Airport network anymore. MacStumbler doesn't list...

    The let's-boycott-stupid-PowerBook-renaming thread

    Here we go. I am determined to boycott Apple's renaming of the well established PowerBook brand to something that sounds like a joke and could have just as well been brought up by the bright marketing folks at Dell or HP (their equivalent being something like "Win Book Pro" or "Windows Book...

    OS X App for Frontpage publishing onto IIS

    Is there any OS X app that can access an IIS and use all the publishing shebang built into MS Frontpage? My client has the staging/production server setup and there's no other way to get the client approved files to the production server AFAIK. I'm basically looking for a way to connect to the...

    Alternative to Word/Endnote setup?

    Since I will soon start on my thesis I'm desperately looking for an (inexpensive) alternative to the M$ Word/Endnote combination. Endnote's features are awesome but I don't really like the phlosophy of its developer. They took forever to release a version for OS X and even though Word and...

    QT in Panther

    Does the new version of QuickTime have any new features/codecs worth mentioning? Did Apple finally get their sh** together and include proper MPEG4, DiVX etc. codecs so we won't have to use any third party software (not that I don't like VLC or mPlayer, but I'd like to see the average layman...

    Problems releasing/renewing IP address on cable internet

    A friend of mine has Rogers cable internet access and 3 computers, 2 of which are always connected. She pays the extra 10 bucks to get two IPs from Rogers. Here's the setup: One Windows PC is always connected and is supposed to stay connected. There are two Macs that she would like to connect...

    Installing Jaguar without CD drive - possible?

    The CD drive in my old workhorse (Wallstreet PowerBook) is dying, I can't read CDs anymore. Now, I need to install 10.2, I have image files of the install CDs (and a legitimate copy of it, too, in case you're think of the p-word now). I don't have any external CD drives (neither SCSI nor...

    Wallstreet OC experience anyone?

    Has anyone here experimented with overclocking a Wallstreet II PowerBook? I am wondering about the results, how far you could push it and how much of a hassle it is (I know how to do it, I have looked at the page of that Japanese OC wiz) for someone with soldering experience (not SMD, though)...

    Apple wants to keep me from buying a PB...

    OK, here's the full story: I would like to buy a 1GHz PowerBook with a Combo drive instead of the Superdrive. So far so good, you can get that from Apple directly from their online store. But... I am from Switzerland, staying in Canada at the moment. I don't want that PB from the Swiss Apple...

    Mobility 9000 32MB vs 64MB performance

    Are there any video benchmark test that compare the 32MB to the 64MB version? I am still not sure whether I should get the 867MHz or the 1GHz 15" PB.

    (Complex) FileSharing setup in OS X?

    Hello everybody! I need some help with a permission issue on my OS X (not the Server version!) machine. I'd like to set up a FileSharing scheme that allows different users to access different/common directories. Here's an example of what I want: - User "admin" has access to the whole machine...

    10.2.1 Server Apache problem

    A couple of days I installed Jag server. Everything's cool and nice except (once again :mad: ) for Apple's hampering with Apache. Out of the box they don't only disable mod_auth, they even replace it (as I guess) with a non working mod_auth_apple. Now, could anyone here tell me to how I can...

    Mac OS X and [officially supported] older hardware

    I'd love to see all the 'older' hardware fully supported under MacOS X as actually promised to us by Apple. I own a Wallstreet Powerbook an there's a couple of things that I am not particularly happy about: 1. SCSI support is very poor. It can't be that hard to offer better SCSI support. I...
