  • All of the recent major OS updates have had a price tag on them ($129), so at a guess that's what Leopard is going to cost, but there's no official word yet. Also, usually if you buy a new Mac in the month or so immediately prior to the release, yo…
  • If I remember rightly the rumours of the Mac Mini iPod dock came about because of the unused firewire connections on the riser card inside. It's a good job they didn't include the dock - a firewire connection would be next to useless with the 5G …
  • No, even though the controllers operate on the 2.4GHz spectrum they aren't using 802.11 networking, so you won't be able to pick them up via Airport. That's nothing new, many cordless phones use the same spectrum with their own protocols, too. Ha…
  • I love the search-as-you-type feature in firefox (especially the way the text field turns red when there are no matches). Apple really should steal that - they have search-as-you-type everywhere else, and they really need it here as well.
  • Looking at it closer, it appears to be a toolbar button. Like Jwink, I can't imagine a "download widget" button being particularly useful (they aren't *that* prevalent!), so it's got me thinking... What if it's for bringing up a widget over the c…
  • I think the locked bookmarks icon is for when parental controls are turned on - you have to authenticate to be able to access the bookmarks window. That dashboard button is intriguing, though. Too big to fit in the address bar or the status bar... …
  • Already?!?!?! Crikey, that didn't take long!!
  • I mentioned earlier the photoshop mockup that I'd made a few months ago of iTunes using the Mail.app look... Well, I've uploaded it to my iDisk and you can have a look at it here. It's quite a bit different now I look at them side by side. I'd misse…
  • It looks like the Mail.app look was a preview of things to come after all I'd played around in photoshop and made a mockup of what iTunes would look like if it used the new style, and it wasn't far off what we see in iTunes 5. I'll post it somew…
  • I've had this happen to me a few times as well. I find trashing the help's preference files usually solves it. They're in your ~/Library/Preferences/ folder, with the following names: com.apple.help.plist com.apple.helpviewer.plist After they…
  • Quote: Originally posted by gramsci I also hope they bump up the storage - 250mb in total? Pah! Maybe a price reduction too and/or the ability to actually pay monthly... If they increase the size of the storage, they also need to work on the …
  • I suspect it won't be until WWDC next year before we find out anything concrete about Leopard. Apple are going to have their work cut out for them, though. Whatever you think about Vista, it's still a big advancement for Windows, and it will have…
  • To use those keys on the iBook with other symbols on them (F1 - F6 as well as F12) as actual function keys, you need to hold down the fn key. So fn+F12 should have activated dashboard. I just remapped dashboard to F8 instead, which is much less hass…
  • Colloquy is a good one I find... look at http://colloquy.info/ Neil. a.k.a. Arnel
  • If the agreement stipulated that the word "Tiger" be no more than 1/3rd the size of the "X"... Well, the front of the box has a pretty big X on it, and the text is much smaller than a 1/3rd of the size of that! Neil. a.k.a. Arnel
  • Well, my Mac Mini finally turned up on Wednesday! Yay! It's lovely, really lovely, everyone at work was fawning over it while it was sat on my desk before I took it home! It's totally silent as well. I was expecting a little noise, but this thing is…
  • I received my Mac mini today, after waiting a massive eleven weeks for it. The good news is, I put my serial number into the page on Apple's site and it accepted it for the Up To Date program. So I guess it's all done from when you receive it, rathe…
  • Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison I don't think I'll be buying 16 exabytes of memory anytime soon. Not at Apple prices, anyhow
  • Windows has buttons in the toolbar for *everything*. It's kinda cluttered like that. Print Preview??? I mean, do you always always need that so close to hand that the File menu is just too much to go to? One of the things that strikes me about OS…
  • So I go into the resellers today, ready to ask for my order to be cancelled, when I find it got shipped from China two days ago! Hurrah!!!! I should finally get it next week! I've gotta say though, I'd been building the courage to be Mr. Nasty Cu…
