  • I went to the apple store today to take a look at the macbooks. Honestly, i was more intrigued by the new keyboard design rather than the glossy screen. I was talking to an employee and i asked if people have commented on the keyboard. He said no, u…

  • I just created a new thread about it but i will also add it here. What about the glossy screens?

  • Thanks guys. I just wanted to confirm that i could get an MB. I will still try to convince the powers that be that i need a MBP so i have some bargaining leverage

  • I use a Samsung SCH-A850 from Verizon. I like it becuase it is very sturdy. I do not care about special features. I just like having a sturdy, flip-phone with a front LCD. My phone also has a camera but i do not use it too much.

  • How do BootCamp and Parrells work with Airport. I know that when run a LiveCD on my PPC, it won't find the airport. Is that the same for these? And more specifically, with just bootcamp, how do you manage the airport? I will need to be able to se…

  • I agree with the above. I just want to add that you should look into sparseimages rather than regular images. They are done exactly the same way except they grow when you add stuff. When you delete stuff, you need to shrink it. Check Macosxhints.com…

  • I had my 60 ipod stolen out of a locked glove compartment in my dad's car. There was no indication whatsoever that i had any type of thing in it; no wires, cables or anything. They sliced through the window (it was a Jeep Wrangler) and all this …

  • It goes without saying that music from iTMS won't work but my guess is you already knew that. But, you have to watch out. If you have a lot of unprotected AACs (from ripping CDs or something), you need to find a player that supports them. There a…
