  • Quote: Originally posted by jasenj1 I pulled down iTunes 5 for Windows and so far I'm not impressed. 1) They did away with the title bar. Windows apps typically have an icon in the upper left corner of a window followed by the application name …
  • 20 seconds? When people claim those kinds of times, I have to wonder if they let Spotlight complete the indexing process. I have three macs in the house of varying "power" and "speed" and Spotlight has never taken more than a couple of seconds to …
  • I was wondering what happened to this functionality... it was the podcasting update, eh? Dammit, I don't even use podcasts and now I have lost one of my favorite benefits of ratings/smart playlists!
  • Quote: Originally posted by Kesh Also, be sure you're using 128 AAC or something similar. Higher bitrates = bigger files trying to cram into the iPod's memory = more hard drive access = less battery life. Try loading Apple Lossless files onto …
  • There's a piece of software - the name of which is eluding me at the moment, I'm afraid - that also looks at the left channel-right channel waveforms of a stereo image and removes the identical forms. The theory is that music is mixed so the drum…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Ebby I would have agreed with the other posters, except the 9600 is FANLESS ! I would take a stab and say it is the power supply. They are noisy on the G5's like mine. I've heard that, too. On the apple supp…
  • Quote: Originally posted by kwsanders This is actually a good move on Real's part. If they get it out into the world first and spin it the way that they want, which people hear first, they might position it in such a way to make Apple look bad i…
  • Quote: Originally posted by geobe I totally agree.... I would also like to see more genre's than what they have. The store is much bigger than it used to be, so we know the specific genre list is probably larger than what they have in the drop …
  • Quote: Originally posted by CosmoNut Please forgive me then. I'm not trying to sound condescending, but what's the big deal? Something about your iPod went goofy and it needs to be restored. It's a simple enough process, so why not just do it?…
  • I haven't tried it on a Win PC yet, no. But users at Arstechnica have, so I'm relying on that until I hear otherwise. "I'm using it on WinXP now and pretty much all of the functionality is the same as when you first plug it into the Mac without th…
  • Quote: [i] If MM uses the same driver as your generic Win32 mouse, and it only has one *physical* button, then it's gonna behave exactly the same as their normal one-button mice. In which case, why the hell should I pay $49 for it? [/B] But …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Powerdoc Classic works flawlessly under 10,4,1 on the Imac G5 of my wife. I suggest you to try to put in the garbage temporaly your classic files. Take an external HD with classic (version 9,2,2) and try to run it.…
  • Exactly. I had to point this out at TMO, too. If your p2p product does not hold itself out as a way to illegally download copyrighted materials, this ruling does not affect you. It was the only way the Supreme Court could rule against the P2P c…
  • I remember that site, actually! It was a real pain in the ass to navigate for support, as I recall.
  • That sure looks like it!
  • Quote: Originally posted by Xool Personally, I prefer a single large monitor over two smaller ones. It also helps if you play a game from time to time. It depends on usage, of course. I rarely game, but I do use a lot of a/v apps, and I lik…
  • Here's my suggestion - get 2 20" screens. Close to the same price as a 23" screen, and you have far more total screen real estate. It's what I did, and I couldn't be happier with it. The 23" screen is the one of the three Apple models which have …
  • I ordered a 2.3 GHz PowerMac on Thursday afternoon last week (i.e. the 9th). I was told by the website AND a person on the phone at Apple that it was scheduled to ship on the 10th (last Friday). On Friday, it was revised to 17th (tomorrow). So.…
  • Congratulations! I can only take on two of your questions, but here goes - 1. Thankfully, Apple does not cram the HD full of crappy limited trial software. You'll get the iLife apps (iTunes, Garageband, iPhoto, and iDVD), Mail, Safari, and a…
