  • My my. Wikipedia in Dictionary.app eh? Between this and the new Movie Times widget in Leopard, it's no wonder that they ditched Sherlock.
  • Hmm. I suppose http://www.thetalkshow.net/ is fairly amusing...
  • I prefer the UNO look as well. The current Leopard look is like having brushed metal all over the OS. Not as bad as brushed metal, but still. It clashes horribly with the white contents of most windows. The darkness is a problem as well - if you …
  • Can't say it's happend to me. I'm using external speakers for the iMac though. Is the sound coming from the speakers, or from inside the iMac? If the sound stops after playing music in iTunes then it could be a software issue.
  • Switching off mirroring means that both displays will no longer display the same image. The desktop is now shared accross both screens and you can move the cursor and windows from one screen to another. The two screens you see in the System Preferen…
  • Go into your System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement. Make sure to switch off "Mirror Displays" because otherwise both screens will try to use 1280x800. With mirroring off, you can set the resolution of each screen independently.
  • Main differences are: MacBook Pros come with a better graphics card. The iMacs can have bigger hard drives. The 24" iMac has the option of a faster 2.8GHz CPU. The MacBook Pros come with laptop specific features like backlit keyboards, motion sensor…
  • You can put VMWare images anywhere you like. I've created a folder in my home directory for VMWare images. When I create a new image I choose to save it to this folder. Moving existing images to a new folder also works fine. Just double-click on …
  • The problem appears to be fixed... http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/09/...cts.mac.issue/ Quote: Officials told MacNN on Friday that it recently became aware of an "internal error during routine testing that resulted in customers using .Mac do…

  • The 2.5GHz is in reference to a Pentium 4. As a Core 2 Duo is classed as a faster CPU, it will let you play the game without throwing up any errors. The iMac's graphics card certainly isn't stellar, but it does meet the 128MB DX9 card with Shader…

  • Aaah, shame the contract starts at £35 (even though the "unlimited internet" bit seems like a fairly good deal). I was hoping you'd be able to choose one of their cheaper plans starting at £15 a month

  • What if Microsoft releases a plugin for Quick Look that covers older versions of Word? For what it's worth, I've been able to open .doc files with TextEdit which were created in Word 5.1. Is that old enough?
  • Yeah, it should work. I expect the performance might be pretty mediocre with the integrated Intel graphics. edit: According to Intel, Doom 3 will work with that graphics card, so UT2004 is sure to work.

  • "Good enough" is highly subjective - it's always best to judge for yourself if the quality of the screen is a big issue for you. I would suggest a quick trip to your local Apple store. For what it's worth, I don't have any problems with the scree…
