Well, it's ten weeks this week, and still no Mac Mini. I keep getting fobbed off when I go in and ask about what's happening with the order. On Saturday the guy there told me "nobody in the world has received a CTO Mac Mini yet", which is obviously …

Nope. I was right. Early April. It's just been posted here. I wish I was a betting man! Neil. a.k.a. Arnel

This is a complete guess, but here goes. Because you didn't start with one of the templates, none of the compiler settings are set up. If you're just wanting to write a small command line tool, I think there's an option for that near the bottom o…

I don't think the PSP will be a failure at all, at least from a console perspective. Some of the launch titles are excellent (I'm loving Wipeout Pure) and I think there are only good things ahead for it... the battery life isn't half as bad as I t…

Easy peasy... Go into iTunes' Preferences window, select the General tab, and then uncheck the "Show genre when browsing" option. Gone. Neil. a.k.a. Arnel

Eight weeks now... still waiting. Reseller isn't being very helpful. On the positive side, I might be eligable for a cheap upgrade to 10.4 Tiger when it arrives. Although given the way it's going, I might be trying to get one for 10.5 by the time…

I think Adium supports Jabber (www.adiumx.com), along with pretty much any other IM system you care to think of. It's really nice to use as well, once you've got it set up just the way you like it. The shear amount of customisable options can be…

I'm with Novus, a fiber optic provider in Vancouver which gives a 10Mbps bidirectional service for just $37.50 (Canadian dollars, about $31 US) a month. That's not much more than I used to pay for dialup in the UK!!! Neil. a.k.a. Arnel

I don't see the appeal in it either, really. But then I tend to listen to a fairly small (compare to some people) collection of music, but I listen to it a lot. I can see it appealing to those that just want to be listening to the latest stuff and t…

It would be interesting to see how Apple tie a subscription service into their offerings. How would music downloaded on such a service be used? I'd guess that you wouldn't be able to use them in iMovie, for instance, as that's making a permanent cop…

Erm, I think people are screaming at nothing here. The "New Player" menu option (the one that's becoming a Pro feature) is the one that opens up a new empty player window. An empty window is useless without the Cut and Paste functionality that's par…

You might also want to check to see if the album names are identical for all the tracks. If there's an errant extra space on the end of one of them then it will show up as a separate album, even though it looks identical! The easiest way to check…

You might also want to take a look at http://www.blue-tec.com/ulysses/. It seems pretty focussed on the task of writing and organising your writing notes rather than on layout or other sidetracking tasks like that... Neil. a.k.a. Arnel

I don't think so. From what I can read here, the metadata importers get given a file to extract info from, and then just return a table of that metadata to the Spotlight system. That metadata is associated with the file it was extracted from - i…

The images Steve searched through were from Corbis - just before he began the demo he said that they'd loaded a ton of images onto the machine, that they were from Corbis, and that they were tagged with metadata. The problem with iPhoto is that I…

As far as I know, iPhoto doesn't store a picture's keywords metadata in the photo file itself, it's stored in the library database file. It's definately stored in the AlbumData.xml file at the top of the the iPhoto Library folder, anyhow. From wh…

It was amazing the difference between Steve Jobs' keynote at MacWorld and Bill Gates' at CES. Not only was the MacWorld one much better presented and more lively (the sofa Bill Gates was slouched in looked like it was going to swallow him any second…
