Linux distributions or Windows would be nowhere without Apple's Mac OS. But then, Linux's Konqueror pioneered quick-look / hover-over-file-peek features some 5 years before Apple or Microsoft started to implement them. Today, Linux and Windows can p…

i find it amazing that courts, people and apple computer / apple put emphasis on such product decay. the nano felt useless from early on - it was very quickly replaced with my mobile phone, currently a nokia n95 8gb. so mine didn't get to be used lo…

Owners of Powerbook G4s with THEIR random sleep problems - also very likely heat-related, and caused by a particular build or design - are not offered a reduced or free repair, even though Apple is as much the culprit there as much as they are for M…

New iMac G5 20" for 699 or 750 $ right now... or a bit less sometime soon. That'd be asking for almost too much, I know, but MUCH less than a full 64-bit OS X which'd be really asking for too much. Or an OS X that'd run on non-Apple PCs... which'd b…
