  • Has anyone gotten the update to work? The updater says it can't find my install, grrr. Guess it's back to Office 2003 in Parallels for me.... Agree with the comments above. How can the Mac BU ever catch up when their newest release is underwhe…
  • Such a shame that CS3 will leave XGA users behind - and for only one row of pixels!
  • Curious. Has anybody else noticed this on Apple's About 10.4.6 page? Quote: ? With the Mac OS X 10.4.6 system software update, PowerPC-based Macs will restart twice, instead of once, after the initial installation. Hmm, do I smell a bundled fir…
  • If drugs are bad, why do they sponsor the evening news?
  • Sorry, I should clarify. This isn't Activity Monitor, but part of the dev tools; installed with CHUD, I believe. System Prefs > Hardware > Processor, check 'show in menu bar', then click the new menu bar icon and choose 'show processor pal…
  • What would make even more sense is a smaller Apple Remote that stowed away in the ExpressCard slot.
  • Benefits: Mini-Disc recording, for one. My SO has a signifiant collection of mixes, and I've offered to rip them. The Toslink is much cleaner than line-in. Granted, this is a relatively minor nitpick. For my immediate need I've borrowed a friend…

  • How many new features will Leopard have?

  • As a single-window app, Address Book used to quit on close. Apple changed this upon adding Bluetooth support, where an incoming call can display caller ID on the Mac's screen. To maintain the Bluetooth connection, Address Book must remain running, h…
  • Mr. Clean, what are your troubles/issues with PhotoBooth? I find it simple, attractive, and even fun. Sure, it's kind of gimmicky, but the gimmick works. I see people playing with it at the Apple store, and they're almost always enjoying themselves.
  • IMHO the iMac, in its current form factor, would look silly with a 23" screen. Imagine the size of that chin! But... since the Intel iMacs now sport a DVI output and desktop spanning, you can simply add a 23" Cinema Display to the 17" or 20" mode…

  • Quote: Originally posted by DCQ It encodes your compressed file into AL, then the Airport Express decodes it before playing. This makes the file smaller than it would be if it just sent the mp3/aac over the air. It actually results in more da…
  • You're welcome, BRussell. Quote: Originally posted by danielctull From the above, I would say it has to do with both audio format and the implementation. From what I read above regarding frames, it makes sense as to why AAC & MP3 can't ach…
  • This topics interests me and has for some time. Lately I've been playing with the new AirTunes output options in iTunes 6.0.2. Here's what I found: Presence of Gaps in iTunes Playback Legend: vertical axis: Music Format horizontal axi…
