When I switched about 2 years ago and discovered click-and-hold, I actually thought that it was system-wide, and that it was a much more elegant solution than having a 2nd mouse button. However, I was sad to discover soon after that it wasn't syste…

Yes, we've come full circle. Actually, once you get to a level comparable to Excel, a spreadsheet program is actually more complex than a word processor. I believe that Mesa is the best contender on OS X right now (since it originates from Next), …

I'm a switcher (2 years now!) and here is one thing that's always felt awkward to me since I usually keep many windows open at the same time, some of which are full-screen: On Windows, I can drag an element, bring it to the taskbar, hover on a ta…

Quote: Originally posted by 709 Personally, I think the 12"PB is dead and will be replaced with a 13" widescreen model (1152x768?). This would add a bit more internal space without making the PB *too* much bigger. Maybe 3/4" wider at most. Backli…

I think the Freescale dual-core chip would actually be faster for today's applications, and maybe even consume less power, but if one wants to do some 64 bit computing (maybe some functions of OS X.4 "Tiger" would take advantage of that) or to use m…

That's actually one of the very few things that annoy me about Mac OS X. If I accidentally hit the screensaver activation hot corner on my Powerbook, I don't have a "grace period" in which I don't have to enter my password to go back to my system. …

Finally, people are understanding the issue! A closed (or proprietary) file format is unly understandable when someone creates a new technology for dealing with data. Word processing and spreadsheets are not a new technology by any stretch of th…

Quote: Originally posted by 4metta Yes, that's what I'm feeling as far as desktops. But because of the moving around, I'm more nervous about the notebooks. Any longtime notebook owners out there? Please feel free to give me some feedback and opi…

Apple laptops carry a 1 year warranty anyways. What applecare provides is another 2 years of full protection. It is very rare for a computer to fail once the 1st year has passed. Usually, if you're going to have trouble, you will within a few m…

It seems to me that for the last few years, Apple as always had problems with getting a good amount of fast processors for its computers. Does anyone think that if IBM were able to feed Apple with as many processors as they like at the speed they w…

Quote: Originally posted by Tuttle It is long past time for Apple to be groveling to MS to keep MS office software on the Mac. Open/StarOffice has MS reeling right now and it's only going to get worse for them over time. I'm not sure there rea…

With Bluetooth, you could not only transmit the sound to wireless headphones, but also to a bluetooth-equipped radio (Bluetooth could be included in car radios for instance). You could also make a way for the radio to control the iPod wirelessly th…

Does your Powerbook read movie DVDs properly? Is your boot disk a CD or a DVD?

That could also mean that Apple is having more G5s than ever! Maybe we'll see an upgrade soon?
