    Apple Announces MacBook Pro

    I guess this is the first time in years that Apple has named a product the wrong way. PowerBook was the strongest brand-level name in all the laptop market. To discard it - privileging the Mac part of the brand - seems to mean thay really are worried about losing their OS-hardware...

    I agree with Fryke. I've stopped buying tech magazines in 2001... the world is too fast for them.

    Why wma?

    I doubt Apple will ever licence its Fairplay DRM system... and that's a pity, because I'm starting to feel a "Anti-iPod" and "Anti-iTMS" sentiment around... Apple should start to worry.

    Sluggish Web Scrolling

    Quartz Extreme has a real effect only if have a "modern" video-card (radeon 7000 with 32 MB of RAM or more). Since your Mac has a limited processor speed, try setting your monitor color depth to thousands instead of millions. Should speed things up a lot. Just remember to turn it back to...

    Starcraft Problems

    There has always been a Mac OS version of Starcraft. It's 3 years that Starcraft runs natively on Mac OS X. It's two and a half years that Blizzard has provided Mac OS X users with a full OS X Starcraft installer (no need for Classic environment). It's just days that Blizzard has released a...

    Nova EV 1.0.8; is it a good game?

    EV 1 was a terrifi game. EV 2 was childish (icons, strange storyline) EV 3 was really nice, and I enjoyed it more then ever. Only problem was, after I completed one stroyline I couldn't force me to start back trying different solutions. I would really love Ambrosia to put out an EV 3 :D D...

    Apple burns faithful for $1 per iPod

    Do you? Really? This is what I mean by saying that they need to introduce a simple adapter. The reason is that most producers of FW equipment are now facing a serious problem: go for speed and target just the few FW800-equipped PCs or adopt an old technology and go for the greater number of...

    Apple burns faithful for $1 per iPod

    It's been some time since I last posted something, and I'm happy we're still voicing our opinions. BTW, I think Firewire was an exceptional technology 3 years ago, and that it is still superior to USB 2... BUT if Apple doesn't present soon a FW XXXX standard, faster than Firewire 800 and...

    'Strange' thoughts about Halo

    <if Microsoft hadn't bought up bungie, halo would be a mac game with ok graphics and less of a story> If Microsoft hadn't bought up Bungie, Halo would have been a Mac/PC game (just like the Myth series, or Marathon II) and MS would have sold some 500K less consoles.

    Switching out of game in Fullscreen mode

    Isn't there a "Switch to a window" command in Dungeon Siege? Just asking, never played the game, but there usually is an in-game command to go back to the desktop.

    X-Wing and Tie Fighter on OS X

    Classic supports 256 colors even if OS X doesn't really love it. Of course if you play in a window without obscuring the desktop you'll have horrible graphics all around your game screen. You can generally play Classic games with no problems - you just need to tweak the system a little, since...

    Escape Velocity

    I played the original EV untill I finished the hidden storyline. By that time I was a multi-planetary pirate with a fleet numbering eight vessels, and the aliens didn't prove much of a challenge. EVO was quite dull by comparison, with childish graphics and a boorish universe. EVN was...

    iMac G5

    good DTV receiver: eyetv 400. But this will be a darn expensive tv you want to get Well, if you consider that I recently saw a 19" LCD TV priced at 1199,00 € (and it was a limited-time offer)... I could say that they're giving me the G5 free!

    iMac G5

    I love its processor, I like its form factor/screen, I could live with its videocard... I was just thinking about a new LCD TV, and this thing looks quite perfect to fill the space in my living room. Does anybody know of a good DTV (terrestrial digital television, europe) receiver for the Mac?

    Yeah, but what about the 5G iPods?

    Only reasons I would buy a PowerPod: Screen: TFT LCD 16:9 widescreen, 480 x 272 pixel. Connectors: FireWire, 802.11 b wireless LAN (Wi-Fi). UMD (Universal Media Disc) compatibility, PSP compatibility.
