    in Picasa is so much better than iPhoto Comment by drumsticks November 2005
  • From what I can remember, Picasa (not Picasso) allows photos to be anywhere. It searches for pictures automatically. There is no notion of a library. Any watched folder is input automatically. It really is quite good in this aspect. Downloaded some …
    in Picasa is so much better than iPhoto Comment by drumsticks November 2005
  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but my findings is that Picasa is not color aware? That is, it does not understand color profiles like AdobeRGB and assumes everything is sRGB? I use to whole heartedly recommend Picasa to Windows users, but since I found ou…

  • stedwick: You might want to try installing the divX plugin to QuickTime player. I've got it installed and it plays just about everything that I've tried. YMMV of course, depending on what files you try to play. http://labs.divx.com/archives/000062…

  • No need to wait for Longhorn. Windows XP has font scaling way ahead of Apple, albeit rudimentarily... This is one feature that I really like about Windows that is sadly missing on my Macs...

    in Driving 20" Widescreen Dell w/ ATI Rage 128 Comment by drumsticks October 2005
  • I have asked this question many times in many different places (here including). What is it that laptop display densities are on the rise, but desktop ones remain roughly the same?

  • Quote: Originally posted by nagromme Re the 12" staying the same... it ALREADY has tiny pixels. Packing in more res sounds good on paper, but it's bad for readability. That's not good for most users. Only because the OS does not allow the us…
    in Apple enhances PowerBooks with higher-res displays Comment by drumsticks October 2005
  • I've always wondered why laptop display densities are on the rise, but these desktop monitors maintain the same density? Density = pixels per unit length.

    in Titanium G4 powerbook Comment by drumsticks October 2005
  • I had a similar problem with my Powerbook G4 550MHz. Took me weeks to figure out what went wrong. It was a loose screw! And it progressively got worse over time as the screw got looser. When one of the screws was loose, alternating pressure from …
