    Dock notification for new podcasts in iTunes?

    FWIW, NewsFire supports podcasts, and has the pop-up notification you desire. It's also a damned good RSS reader. http://www.newsfirerss.com/

    Refurbished MacBook with free upgrades!

    I ordered a refurbished 2.0GHz MacBook for my daughter from Apple. Today I set it up for her, and was surprised to see that it had an 80GB HDD and 1GB of RAM! I paid $1099.00. These upgrades would normally cost an additional $150.00. I had already purchased a 1GB stick of RAM from Best Buy...

    RAM - Matched Pair or Unmatched Question

    You're better off installing your own RAM than buying from Apple or paying someone to do it. I replaced one of my 256MB sticks with a 1GB stick, and my MacBook runs fine. From what I have read, the performance hit is only 3% by having unmatched RAM. When I can afford, I'll replace the 256...

    Preview of Safari 3.0 features

    Yeah, those new features certainly don't warrant a full point increase. I'd like to see the features from Saft integrated.

    [iPhoto 6] Assign keywords by parent folder?

    OK, I've got like 30,000 photos of female celebrities on an external drive that I want to import into iPhoto 6. The photos are sorted into folders by letter, and then by Full Name. For example: A/Alanis Morissette A/Amber Tamblyn B/Bianca Kajlich B/Britney Spears I have already imported...

    MacBook and dual display

    It's designed that way. I'm guessing their reasoning is that no one is going to have a portable monitor.

    Viewing thumbnails when selecting a picture?

    I'm a newbie myself, and I don't know the answer to that one. Perhaps you could try an image view such as CocoViewX. http://www.stalkingwolf.de/software/cocoviewx/

    Getting the best image on a wide screen LCD?

    I am running a 21" Gateway at 1680 x 1050 via the mini-DVI to VGA adapter, and I also feel that the image isn't quite as sharp as it could be. It may just be the VGA connection, as I could not get the DVI connection to work. Perhaps the integrated video adapter is the culprit.

    24bit/192 kHz soundcard and DVD-A/SACD options?

    The standard resolution layer of a hybrid SACD can be read by any CD-ROM, CD-RW. It should be readable on a CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive. It might be readable on a DVD-ROM or DVD-RW drive. Remember that this is standard 16-bit audio.

    There are NO optical drives that can read the high-resolution layer of Hybrid SACDs, let alone non-hybrids.

    Thanks for that info. I think I'll order a 1GB stick, and see how that goes. :)

    memory usage

    I've been having the same problem with Safari and iTunes sucking up memory like it's going out of style. I have read that it's not wise to use two different size memory modules, though. Rather than buy two 512's and then possibly having to replace both of those someday, I'm gonna buy two 1...
