Well... it's still Windows... just 64bit. It really doesn't offer much to the average user at this point. That is the one thing that really sucks about it... you must use 64 bit drivers. If MS or the hardware manufacturers don't put out a driver,…

I'm sure the x86 transition will give Apple's notebooks the bump they need. I bought my iBook about a year or so ago... 12", 800MHz. At the time, there were not any PC notebooks that came close in that form factor and price. Any of the "thin &…

And don't forget... if you ever plan to use the drive to move data from a PC notebook... I don't think I've ever seen a powered firewire port on a PC notebook (they all use that little unpowered firewire port)... I've had on and off luck with noteb…

I don't understand what it is with people wanting to switch from real computers to Macincrap. They're slow... ass ugly... and there's what... 10 programs you can run on them... all versions years behind the same thing on Windows. I was using a fri…

Tiger actually runs faster than previous versions of OS X (especially booting)... so you won't have any problem with a new iBook... the only thing I would say is that the iBooks are sort of due for an update... they're actually a little overdue. It…

The compiler issue aside... it would appear that they are still left with plenty of cases of anticompetitive behavior as outlined in the suit. It was really just reading the blurp about the compiler that drew my attention... it was reading through …

If you want to really see some of the amazing stuff that Intel has been doing (and by "amazing"... I mean it actually makes Microsoft seem "not so bad"), check out the actual suit. Intel hasn't even bothered trying to hide it. The whole suit is …

Quote: maybe a battery from ebay? Oooh... that's a no-no... unless it's an eBay store with some type of warranty. Lithium Ion batteries lose capacity (down to about 80%) after about 500 full charge cycles. If you buy a used one, you have no id…

I would say to stay away with anything using the Ralink RT2500 chipset (typically "cheaper" cards)... especially if you want to use WPA encryption. They have had ongoing problems with this (just Google it and you'll find tons of stories). If you g…

Your only option is really extra batteries... or one of those external battery packs. Another possibility would be if you have any friends that might have an extra battery that they would let you borrow for the trip. That flight is horrible... I a…

Quote: Originally posted by sunilraman Maybe over the next few days my faith will be renewed, but for now i'm getting my dad's iBook g4 933mhz back from applecare (they refused to repair the modem because of a 'burnout' issue, whatever the hell t…

Quote: The drives are also typically lighter and can read and write data faster than conventional drives. Has Samsung come up with some new technology where they've brought the speeds of flash memory up several orders of magnitude? This has typ…

Well.. OS X is just fun... especially after coming from the PC world.. .so I just chose to call it "happy".

Quote: I'm just tired of all the crap my pc is giving me (and I bought it less than 2 weeks ago!) it's an HP Pavilion a1012x that run an AMD Athlon 64 processor. It feels so damn sluggish and even skips when I play mp3s! Before I bought it I got to…

I've got an iBook G4 800MHz that I picked up about a year ago. I've been very happy with it. I only use it web browsing, office stuff, messaging, and stuff like that and it has suited me perfectly. It was also my first Mac. I've had PCs for twen…

Here is a link to some solutions which people claim to have helped... but I haven't seen any responses from anyone saying that any of these things actually worked for them. I've tried each of them with no luck... AppleSpell.Service in the Dock A…

I guess I can wait for a little while... if for no other reason than to have Tiger pre-installed. I hate to buy something just before they get upgraded... although... I doubt there will be a significant boost in processor speed (most of the increme…

Thanks for your help!

And... oddly enough.. the iBook is one of Apple's most competitively priced products.

Well... I guess that's one thing that Linux has in common with Windows... it has to support a very broad platform of hardware. With OS X... you have the same company making the hardware and the OS... so with the exception of add on stuff... you nev…
