Good guesses. But no, this is about all the mourning NYers out there. Bases loaded. Two outs. Bottom of the ninth. Down by two. Game Seven. The stuff that childhood dreams are made of. And all that $117 million buys is strike looking, foul ti…

My experience with Word v.X under Rosetta is that Rosetta faithfully emulates every bug, tic and crash in Word, just like it were running native on a PPC. Word for Mac sucks. Always has (since 5.1, anyway) and probably always will. It's the singl…

I've never adjusted screen brightness from the Preferences pane - I suspect few people do. It seems odd they didn't fix this one OS X issue before shipping them but it shouldn't cause major problems. One suspects that the article sensationally subst…

Whenever the appropriate 2 GB SODIMMs (256 Mb x 64) are available. I think they actually are, as of very recently, but are still insanely expensive compared to 1 GB SODIMMs (>10x!). With two of these, I think the MBP CoreDuo would reach its theor…

For one document, this sounds like something any spreadsheet or database app will be able to do. For a spreadsheet, you can display only those rows with a certain value ("inspector") in a certain column ("keyword"). For a database, you can choose to…

Cocktail and MacJanitor largely provide an easy way to manually run the system maintenance scripts that are set to run automatically in the middle of the night. They're only necessary if you don't leave your computer on (and awake) at night. Many of…

So we got the price points right (1099/1299/1499) but Apple tricked us by splurging on the CPU and saving elsewhere. No Superdrive on the 1099 model, and integrated graphics throughout. But still... 2.0 GHz Core Duo widescreen laptop for $1299.

It has nothing to do with the fans. It's an electronic noise caused by a voltage transformation. Keeping the CPUs just busy enough to stay out of their deepest sleep mode prevents them from running at the noise-causing lowest voltage. Some folks on …

Quote: Originally posted by aplnub Dell has a dual core notebook in the ~$600 range. I expect a MacBook to be $999 or less. Which one? And $500-off-any-laptop coupons don't count. I've surfed around Dell, out of curiousity, to see how the …

I'm forseeing two models, one an iBook replacement and one a 12" PB replacement. Based on the Mini, I don't see a Core Duo going into a laptop for less than $1099. Nor non-integrated graphics only a model less than $1599, and even then I doubt Apple…
