  • No. At least, I used Entourage for a while, but I have been very happy after switching over to mail, address book and iCal. The benefit of using the apple apps is the synching features (if you have .Mac...and I think you can publish iCal calendars e…

  • I like the show, but now they've moved it to Thursdays at 9. It's now in direct competition with CSI, which might not be good for it, or me. I love CSII, but I really like Wonderfalls too. WF wins for now at least, because CBS doesn't come in in my …

  • I stuck with iTools when it became .Mac so I could keep my email address. I'm glad I did, though. I think my favorite thing is bookmark synching. It is wonderful to be able to get at my bookmarks from any computer anywhere in the world. Same with ad…

  • Among all the explanations here presented for "The Whole Nine Yards" I have not seen the one I learned a couple years ago. I wish I could remember where I saw it, but alas. Anyway, my source said that the phrase's meaning of "the whole thing" was ac…

  • I spent last semester in Austria, and found it very interesting all of the uses that "bitte" has. "Please" and "you're welcome", but also "bitte? "as in "Your order please?" and "come again?" ("please repeat yourself"). It really got me thinking abo…

  • I've had absolutely no trouble using iSight with Yahoo. You do have the latest version, right? In preferences:webcam:video I have default source set to IIDCFireWire video. All I have to do is click the webcam button above my buddy list, and voila. …

  • and I had her say, "f*** you, bitch." Because that is what I had just said to her. And adding the lines mentioned above to pithhelmet doesn't seem to have blocked her. What the crap? Edit: Nevermind. I figured out why PithHelmet wasn't taking car…

  • Can you no longer download the iApps (other than iTunes) from Apple's site? I wasn't aware that this had changed. When iLife was first introduced, you could still DL everything but iDVD. iTunes is the only one of the suite I really use, but I am sti…

  • I'm a member of PETA: People for the Eating of Tasty Animals Yes, I know it's cheesy, but I like it. Also, while I know it's not directly related, I can't help but think of Godwin's Law. It's the same idea, I think.

  • I don't think it's that important for an icon to give an indication of what the program does, unless it's a bundled app. For instance, it is good iTunes to have an icon that relates to it's function. When someone turns on their Mac for the first tim…

  • I had the Snow.E icons on my computer for a long time, but reverted to the default set when I installed Panther. And while I know they're not icons, I love the Adobe splash screens. I haven't seen the ones for CS, but the latest Acrobat splash sc…
