  • I want to sell my brand new powerbook 15" HD or whatever you call it, do you think ebay is the best way to sell? Any suggestions I'd like to get almost full price so I can pay minimum to upgrade to the intel book

  • I think my post accidentially got deleted when the server was slammed It's EFI. EFI allows small programs much like open firmware, and apple wrote it's own code inside it. An Apple rep on the floor show said Windows Vista would probably run just …

  • s-video is support with the external cable you plug into the dvi port, but i can't help wondering? Where would you use s-video? It's totally not worth hooking any computer to a standard tv. lol firewire 800, any firewire800 device is backwards co…

  • EFI, with a custom apple loader, just like every other mac. Target Disk mode support, and booting from firewire. Confirmed with Apple rep that windows vista should run on it, not xp or 2000 because currently they don't support efi, but that could be…

  • I think Apple's eventually going to bypass motorola, this phone is confirmed to have itunes and is much better than the rockr2 http://ces.engadget.com/2006/01/04/m...from-cingular/

  • One again the arrogance of Apple computer shines through here. Apple believes it can take on the mobile phone companies who dominate everything. If they piss off motorola, then motorola can go to the other companies and say "look Apple is going to t…

  • The best part is when the store employee clicks the start menu, to activate the transaction. I hear Steve Balmer laughing everytime.. Windows Mobile, in the Apple store :-)
    in EasyPay a "big success" at Apple retail stores Comment by webmail December 2005
  • hmm. how about assigning an applescript to mute the volume on shutdown? On my old powerbook i cut off a headphone jack and stuck it in the port, worked great. Or even just to plug in speakers and turn them off. Or why shutdown at all? With OS X shut…

  • It's too bad they don't allow you to adjust the sleep light in powerbooks. I have a brand new one, and while i think it's slightly darker, is it just me or does having a powerbook in the same room you are trying to sleep in suck? I always have to th…

  • Why would you need something like this? Can't you just mute the computer volume? It won't play the chime on startup, or is this for a lab? Kernel Extensions are gonna break with every OS X update. If you seriously want to disable the startup chime i…

  • yes, because everyone who has an airport is qualified to make modifications and repair boards... When Apple moves to intel it wil be good, standarization on parts, and materials that can be replaced. For example, if you want a new CPU for your…

  • For the last time ;-) There will not be any intel stickers on any macs. period. If you think I'm wrong I'll bet you $5000 us, I'm 100% Positive. Quote: Originally posted by jccbin If the Intel Inside sticker cuts $5 of the cost of the comput…

  • You say it with such conviction, maybe you have inside information to be so certian? I've been told the 13" ibook/slim-notebook will drop firewire or include some sort of adapter for firewire/usb so cameras work. Quote: Originally posted by C…

  • Actually if Apple wants to include firewire it won't be a problem. Intel has their own chipset for firewire, or they can use Apple's. Intel's chipset for firewire is top rate, just like Apple's. Quote: Originally posted by heaven or las vegas …
