  • What's great about OS X and most Apple apps is you can do what you want with them. I put the sites I go to most often in my bookmark's bar. They're there for quick access. I've also put some folders on the bar and have them "open in tabs" as a…
    in What Do You Use Safari Bookmarks Menu For? Comment by briang5000 March 2005
  • I suspect most users would be using AAC. 18 Minutes over USB 1.0 might sound a little slow, but remember you'll need to leave the iPod Shuffle connected longer than that to charge the battery. I doubt any user would be bothered by this transf…

  • I use Google for my own start page. This is the start page for my guest and friends who I'm hoping to switch over time. I figure a good subtle pro-Mac start page might be helpful at connecting with them on a subconscious level.

  • I see a number for Naples, but not for South Beach. It's possible there may be another local number in a neighboring city. Here's a weblink where you can search for access numbers: http://sbcyahoo.prodigy.net/openPhone/index.html
    in SBC Yahoo DSL question Comment by briang5000 September 2004
  • I have SBC-Yahoo DSL and they provide dozens (maybe hundreds) of local access numbers you can use when you travel. I'm pretty sure it's included at no extra cost. what is the area code that you think you might want to dial from? I'll check…

    in more songs than room for iPod Comment by briang5000 March 2004
  • I'm so sick of reading that iTunes and Apple will eventually fail because iPod won't play music from 4 out of 5 online stores. How about flipping the logic. The 4 or 5 stores that only sell WMA files will fail because you can't play the files …
