  • As with any worthy cause I have gone to the trouble of creating a tremendous petition for all interested to sign: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/macminsa/petition.html I left a field open for "Requested Upgrades" if you'd like to leave comment …
  • I really hope they don't. The Mac mini is SO great for special projects because of its small size and price point, I'm looking at purchasing 11 of them shortly for a project I'm working on. While I can understand wanting to focus consumers on the…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Chucker As far as I know, there is no lossless codec for DVD-Video. They typically use AC-3, which is lossy. Your right, content encoded for DVD would not be considered lossless although because usually It's encode…
  • I believe the screenshots to be true and I believe that while Bootcamp will allow users to do in Leopard what their doing now with the beta version in Tiger. I also believe it will allow Mac OS X to use the Windows Kernel in a protected environment…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Chucker You'd be mistaken. Apple gives producers iTunes Producers. They're solely responsible for converting uploading the files. They can use a different bitrate, or even a completely different codec (some songs on iT…
  • Apple Lossless is simply a lossless way of encoding audio using the AAC format. It uses VBR to a massive extent to allow the use of as much bandwidth as needed to retain 100% of the audio quality. It is lossless, not lossy in any way. The audio c…
  • Front row is tied to hardware far too much for Apple to release it in iLife. If you all want Front row so bad why don't you go out and buy an iMac, like Apple intended. I do however think PhotoBooth will be released as a bonus app in the next iLi…

  • Quote: Originally posted by mpw_amherst I'm a UK user so don't know whether this is different in the US, but I often get the impression - perhaps incorrectly - that people are able to download movie trailers from the iTMS. Is this the case and if…
  • It also appears to be an update for iBook users as well.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Blackcat Well, my fiancee was about to buy her first Mac after a week of virus hell in XP (*with* 2 virus checkers running!), but now she sees no point. "Wasn't the point of a Mac it isn't a PC? Now they are." I …
  • Hey, i'm having trouble playing the game. For some reason my setup didn't install the "default.cfg" file and since today is my first day with my new mac i'm not quite sure what to do. I figure though that if someone could post their copy of "default…
  • This is in no way an iPod killer, yet... I think the LifeDrive is in many ways a look at the future. This isn't simply a Palm with more memory, this is one of the first Palms ever that features a Hard Drive! This is the direction that Apple ne…
  • I've already ordered my iBook, despite the Video Card and having to pay to upgrade certain parts. I noticed today though that they've recalled certain iBook batteries running all the way to THIS MONTH. Not sure if this will have affected my notebook…
  • Quote: Originally posted by iDave If there is no iBook upgrade early this week, I'd expect it the week of WWDC. If it is a minor upgrade, it probably won't be part of the keynote, rather just a quiet spec change shortly after. I don't believe App…
  • Heh, I knew somebody would post a currency coversion sooner or later. Me and my damn Canadianism (is that a word?) Like I said I have no inside info, but taking a look at what's happened in the past and what's being said now I just don't think th…
  • Personally I think Apple should work with Nintendo to develop an OS X/OpenGL friendly environment for "evolution" (Nintendo's next machine) where it would be very easy to port software between Apple computers and Nintendo's console. This would be…
  • Before you read what i've typed below you should understand that I do not have any "inside info" on what's really going on at Apple. Being in the market for a new iBook i've simply read EVERYTHING I can find and have come to the following conclusion…
  • Come chat with us at http://jaycr.sytes.net/v2/chat/. I'm posting the updates in the chat so you don't all have to put up with the cgi problems plus we can help the iPod France servers out a bit. Jason
