  • Don't you need to tell the iPod to appear as a volume, and not just in iTunes? I think it's in Preferences:iPod in iTunes. If the iPod appears on your Desktop as a volume, though, I would think it should be accessible from other computers via Apple …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Relic Yeah, but it still sucks! Divide Apples stated time by two and that's the real battery life. I thought the issue was that Li-ion batteries have a limited lifespan, not that battery life-per-charge was less t…
  • Quote: Originally posted by dacloo I prefer my own folder structure, and Itunes indexes everything in a diffent structure, which I don't like. Like bergz said, go to Preferences:Advanced in iTunes, and uncheck the two boxes that say "Keep iT…
  • If you don't mind a more biased source, Apple maintains a web page for potential switchers with various FAQs, comparisons, testimonials, and press reviews.
  • Option-8 creates a bulletpoint, if you don't mind aligning the text by hand. I usually find that less aggravating than relying on auto-formatting, whether it's Keynote's or Word's.
  • Hmm. For some reason, you picked specs that are perfectly reasonable, but a generation or two (a year or so) away. I wonder if you'll write a similar "wish list" next year with similar year-from-then specs. To put this in perspective, think back…

  • Eh, nevermind. Fundamental misunderstanding of how the web works on my part. I would need to register the domain name with my ISP's DNS servers; setting up domain forwarding doesn't cut it. The lesson is that if I want a "real" website, I need a "re…
  • Apple intentionally made it difficult to move songs iPod->computer as a sop to the record labels. If it were easy, it would be a breeze for you and all your friends to have an iPod party and trade all of your music in matter of minutes. That woul…
  • If you want the ultimate in coolness and stealth, check out Damn Small Linux. They manage to fit a barebones OS plus all your basic apps (including browser, word processor, email client, etc.) into 50 MB. They therefore sell a bootable 128 MB flash …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Macmedia Huh? I have no idea what you're seeing. Edit: Oh, you meant the page contained in the downloadable .zip, not the page you linked to. I was confused by the giant banner "this page doesn't look right in IE",…
  • I like WebPics. Easy to use, outputs reasonably clean HTML, plenty of customization options.
  • Phreeow! Most recent HHGTTG moment: enjoying a fantabulously delicious steak dinner with the gf for Valentine's Day, I was so tempted to angrily grab a waiter by the collar and scream "Why's this steak so bloody good?!"
