  • Anthrax, smallpox, SARS, West Nile..... now bird flu. What other "imminent threat" is the media going to scare us with?

  • I love Keynote. No argument there. But I've always felt Pages was awkward. I want to like it, but I usually end up going back to Word for word processing. I really just can't stand all the palates Pages forces you to use, and then the tabs among …

  • Mail is an excellent application that demonstrates the power of Cocoa application development and tight integration into Mac OS X (2 things I doubt Microsoft will ever adopt). I've used Mail and Entourage for years. I've always used Mail for my p…

    in Symantec: Snake Oil Salesmen Comment by bborofka September 2005
  • Yep, I would expect it no sooner than at MWSF in January as part of iWork '06. Keynote, Pages (hopefully much improved) and Numbers. Regarding the sales problem, I agree that they need to make it free on all new Macs to combat Microsoft's Office …

  • All I want is a Status Bar (back) and a conversation-like view like Gmail.

  • I can't believe Tiger Mail still doesn't have a Status Bar. I really miss it. Is it worth filing a bug report to Apple to try and get it back?

  • There's a lot out there, but I like Acquisition the best.

  • If Apple makes a spreadsheet, it better be like the Quantrix Modeler. That thing looks sweet. I think NeXT used to make something like back in the 90s.

  • Quote: 1. Why is there no Outlook in Office for Mac? Why is it called Entourage? Microsoft used to make two separate apps... Outlook and Entourage back in 2001. Outlook was just for Exchange and all your other email was for Entourage. Now in 200…

  • When developers write software, they usually write code in an abstract, high-level language like C, C++, Objective-C, etc. When developers want to test or run this code, they have to compile it into something the computer can understand, which is al…

  • How does WebObjects compare to .Net? Everyone in my CS dept. at my University speak of .Net like it's some cutting-edge buzzword. They either love it or hate it, and most seem to love it... ("because it makes things so easy"). I've never developed w…

  • This stinks. Our newspaper needs to update its lab, and they already have pretty nice 20" CRT monitors, so there's no reason to get an AIO Mac. The low-end G5 tower was really the only option for us... the Mac mini is not at all expandable and it's …
    in Apple says goodbye to single processor PowerPC Power Macs Comment by bborofka June 2005
  • I wonder how long Apple will continue to develop OS X for PowerPC now? Will it continue to go on behind the scene after the Intel switch is complete, as another "just in case" scenario?

  • It's good to see Apple's unit sales over that elusive 1 million mark. They're finally back to where they were in 2000. Hopefully that number will continue to grow.
