    in Anyword of iPod Touch 4G? Comment by mikef February 2010
  • Wouldn't new models of the iPod Touch be tied to new models of the iPhone since the hardware is so similar? I love my iPod Touch 3G but it'll probably be replaced with an iPad simply for the larger screen/better browsing experience.

  • Sure, those CPUs will probably find their way into even the lowest 21.5" model. When? Nobody but Apple knows. Check this site out: http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iMac According to it, the iMac is mid-life cycle for the current gen, so …

  • Are we going to see a new version of iLife this year? Now that Aperture 3 has been released to bring the Places & Faces features from iPhoto, what is the likelihood of seeing iPhoto pull further ahead? What more could iPhoto add to distance …

  • The worst possible outcome for Apple is for to be a hardware problem. They will go to every extent possible to attempt this can be fixed in software. Ultimately, if it's a driver issue, great. Simple fix, otherwise it's time for a recall...
    in Apple plans second fix for flickering 27-inch iMacs - reports Comment by mikef January 2010
  • I'm kind of glad I held off on purchasing one of these (thanks to the i7 shipping delay )... I think I'll wait for next gen to be sure the problems are gone.

  • Are people still hanging onto the belief that this will be a fully-functional device running OS X? Something that could replace a MacBook? I just don't see it.

  • I'd go for the iTouch version myself. Don't have an iPhone now, don't see one in my immediate future due to the high cost of data plans here in Canada.
    in What features do you want in the iSlate? Comment by mikef January 2010
  • My "wants" are simple: 7" or 10" screen compatibility with iPhone/iPod Touch apps (pretty well established) 802.11n (only because faster is better ) LOTS AND LOTS of content- magazines, local newspapers, movie/music subscription service I love my …
    in What features do you want in the iSlate? Comment by mikef January 2010
  • I imagine this has more to do with closer tolerances to specifications than trying to gouge Apple users. Instead of taking the first parts out of the bin for Apple, they take the best parts out of the bin. Apple computers have ALWAYS been very p…
    in Why not use "PC" DRAM for 27? i7 I Mac? Comment by mikef December 2009
  • Does VMware Fusion allow a VM to have more than 4GB of RAM? My MBP only has 4GB so I cannot check that.
    in VMWare and Win 7 Comment by mikef November 2009
  • That's the actual application that runs the virtual machine. It does the hardware emulation. If I'm not mistaken, one instance is created per VM. When you have a running VM, you should see it in the process list.
    in VMWare and Win 7 Comment by mikef November 2009
  • I suspect the actual VMware hypervisor (one per VM) runs as 64-bit and the UI, etc does not.

  • I thought the same about QuickBooks, but the 2010 version is offered on Intuit's website... http://quickbooks.intuit.com/product...g-software.jsp

  • There are a couple of options for building a Linux/UNIX-based filer including OpenFiler or FreeNAS. These will give you a bunch of different capabilities, along with a web management interface. I use a server built on Ubuntu Linux and use SMB an…

  • How is the destination drive formatted? It should be "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Did you try reformatting the destination drive before reattempting a backup?

  • I think we understand the business model of a podcast. Why the animosity toward Leo and the gang? Are they wrong about the Drobo? Not as far as I can see. Is it a good product? I've yet to read anything bad about it. Why the budding Drobo hate?
    in Drobo blows up Comment by mikef March 2009
  • There's nothing to be confused about... look at the Drobo as just another drive 'cause that's how it appears to the system. If the Drobo was to fail or you accidentally deleted a file, you do not have a backup as you only have one copy of the data…
