  • OK, three comments on the previous posts: 1) yes, there IS tons of stuff worth recording on TV -- it's called PBS, and if you haven't discovered all the great shows on it, then YOU are then one who needs to get a life ... 2) ElGato is already …
  • I'm really sad about speculation that the 12" won't be updated, and might be discontinued. Apple should know full-well that this is perhaps THE most popular powerbook ... as I look around me, I see at least 4 of them in this cafe alone. And every…
  • Ummm .... I'm thinking with a vPod (video ipod) needing most of it's front for a widescreen format color LCD, the tiny little "squirrel ball" would be a perfect solution ... As far as speed of squirrel ball versus. traditional iPod controller, I …
  • Quote: Originally posted by O4BlackWRX This is crap, I waited through 3G's of iPod's to get the right one. My parents got the me the iPod Photo 40GB for XMas (total surprise too..) and now I don't even get to have the latest and greatest iPod for…
  • Uggggggh ... Bonjour has to be the single worst name Apple has ever come up with ... and all it does is reinforce Apple among IT professionals as being the home of fruity white-wine sipping snobs ... I think the Bonjour name will help continue Apple…
  • Actually, to be perfectly honest, I've found the best way to have a completely clean, scratch-free Powerbook ... is to buy a new one. Seriously though, my 12.1" AlBook is light years ahead of my old TiBook in terms of keeping clean and scratch fr…
  • I normally run my powerbook in the dishwasher with light soap. You can then dry it in the oven at 250 degress for 30 minutes.
  • My Bluetooth 1.5 Update experience so far: Paired my Jabra Freespeak with my Powerbook; works great with iChat AV, especially with Soundsource, a menu bar app that allows you to quickly switch your audio input and output between various sources (…
  • ... I'm still waiting for OSX to support 8-Track tape.
  • am i missing something, or is the entire mockup just totally bogus? you have two screens with equalizers for each track. What??? i thought the point of a mixer was to crossfade the two songs -- so where are the inteface widgets for doing the …
  • applenut, the "cough ...bullshit ... cough" act is really cute, have you considered hosting a late night comedy show? you must have gotten that line straight from the Troll dictionary. classic. sorry if my comment threatened your perception of y…
  • I just have to chime in here with my expience. I owned a 400 mhz TiBook, and recently replaced it with a 1ghz AlBook SuperDrive. My TiBook looked great for about two months. After that, the nightmare began. Paint started peeling off the hin…
  • Quote: Originally posted by DHagan4755 While the size of the 12-inch is good, Apple really has to do something about its screen. It's blue, it has a narrow angle of view, is kind of washed out, and, in my opinion, should have a widescreen. Othe…
  • I opted to get a 12.1" 1ghz Superdrive PowerBook + 19" Planar flat panel (after doing TONS of research .. the new planar's have 700:1 contrast ration, DVI, zero pixel defect policy, etc.). I have to say I'm THRILLED with the combination of total …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Pais I'm glad to hear that you like your mouse, but don't forget that some of us that can't do the same thing because we own portable computers. Carrying around an RF attachment just doesn't make any sense for a PowerB…
  • OK this might be slightly off-topic. But i just bought the Targus Wireless Notebook Mouse (model PAUM006) at CompUSA. It's a little (but not micro) wireless mouse with a very small USB dongle -- not that giant ugly RF receiver that MS RF mice ha…
  • Just got my 12.1" 1 ghz Superdrive today. Was using a first-gen TiBook 400mgz. The difference: night and day. My TiBook was all looks, no durability or performance. It stayed nice for about a month, and the first time I put it in a backpack…
