  • I have a 17" 710N, which has slightly worse specs (600:1, 300 cd/m2, 12 ms). It's altogether a really nice screen, just fine for gaming. Sharp, good contrast, easy on the eyes. Samsung makes good stuff. Konbe!

  • I do that, too. Seems like the only practical way to store large amounts of video, a least for your average guy (i.e. one without access to a massive datacenter to back up reams of video to).

  • To me, it seemed like 75% of the motivation for the switch was to breathe some life into Apple's stagnating mobile lines. For a good long while the mobile G3's and G4's were world-beaters, but those days ended almost two years ago. So I expect to se…

  • Apple still sells an EDU-only CD-ROM iBook. And it wasn't *that* long ago that all the low-end iBook, eMac, and even iMac models shipped with CD-ROMs - only in late 2003 did they begin to ship all iBooks with Combo drives. So I just can't believe th…

  • TextWrangler and SubEthaEdit are free. If you're saavy enough to be writing shareware programs, why not just edit the code directly?

  • Doesn't it seem a little odd to squish three of the four most trafficked forums (AO, PO, and GD) into one front-page link? Insider Lounge has as many posts as all the other forums combined, Future Hardware excepted. And the range of topics is far wi…
