Please let it be true. MS Word and Excel are buggy, ugly, feature-rich and powerful programs. Nonetheless, I've opened Word once since Pages came out. The truth is I don't' need all those features that Word has, and most of the time they annoy me…

Remember Apple Easter Eggs? Those reflected a high employee moralle, and a creative company. Maybe Steve Jobs is just getting old, or maybe they somehow think this will be better for the company, but I believe employees do better when the product i…

Quote: Originally posted by spud That wouldn't make any sense... Any purchase of a new mac after the new OS is released should get the new OS ? 30 days or whatever. I remeber back in the days of 9.x, I got the upgrade for free (+s/h) even thoug…

Quote: Originally posted by scottiB I believe--and could be wrong--that the free upgrade (usually for $20 with shipping and handling) is for those who purchase a new Mac for thirty days after the OS is announced, not before. I don't believe yo…

I certainly hope it comes out before the 28th of April, as I just ordered a new Powerbook yesterday, and 30 days is the free upgrade deadline, I'm told. Does anybody know is that 30 days for the "release" of the OS, or is it 30 days from when the…

Quote: Originally posted by spud Hey all, Does anybody know if the memory from my old TiBook (the special low-profile memory you needed to get for it) will work in my new, on-its-way-to-my-door Superdrive Powerbook? I don't know much about memo…

Seems like this will be a boon to professional digital photographers (photojournalists, wedding photographers, etc.). One of these could, first, get rid of the piles of flashmedia they tend to carry around, and furthermore, allow them to see the pho…

What kills me about firefox is its inadherence to all the mac niceties to which i've grown accustomed. spell-checking through right-click, keyboard navigation, etc. It's a shame neither Camino nor Safari have the same kind of plugin support (or ev…

i'm pretty sure that the mac mini does not have S-video output without an adapter.

"Duel Stress Liner" (DSL) and conventional strained silicon are related but different technologies. In effect, DSL uses strained silicon to increase electron flow speed, but also uses some sort of silicon compression to increase positive charge flow…

so, will these have ridiculously long battery lives or will they be ridiculously lightweight?

by the way, i heard that the reason VHS won out over the technically superior Betamax is that Betamax refused to allow porn to be published, while VHS didn't care one way or the other. it may be just a rumor, but i think it's pretty reasonable.
