My thesis, and most of my mac based programming is OpenGL based- BECAUSE IT IS AN OPEN STANDARD!!! If MS cans it in favor of Directx, or they try and merge the two, they must be in violation of the federal anti-trust ruling ("don't do it again!")…

I hope so, I've had the same stbility issues with 10.1.5- including when I plug into my network @ work, nothing connect for about 25 minutes. Even if I manually set the network prefs, and get an IP address from the DHCP, no connection for more than…

I think Apple should offer a kensington mouse as a BTO option (like when you select how much RAM at the apple store- "Standard Apple Mouse" -or- "Kensington Pro mouse". Kensington is awsome. I had a trackball from them that my Step dad had purchas…

I have one thought. Why can't much of the system, esp. the stuff that non-root user's can't touch, be put into a package/folder? like a .app folder? all the files are hidden from the user, but it's still a folder. Make a .sys folder at the roo…

I used a Wacom for an 8 month period, I would say that in my opinion, the mouse that comes with it is useless on such a small area (in the graphire model) I used the regular mouse for mousing, and the pen for drawing. For design, you need a pen. …

I have a cheap alarm clock that has a jog dial-style controller- I can't tell you how nice it is, to both set the time and to change the radio station. all in one dial. I think this could be a very cool thing, though how would it comunicate with…

the 750FX G3 chip from IBM supports a 200Mhz FSB, IIRC. SO Upping the bus wouldn't be on IBM's shoulders. what are the chances of seeing a GPUL-G3 hybrid soon? Take the book-E structure, and use it to design a G3, and add VMX that way? May w…

I would say like the link above, but thinner, , and with a thin keypad that would either slide down from the bottom of one side (if you rotated the thing 90°, in a tradtitional laptop fasion), or, if one of the screens would turn into a virtual keyb…
