I see everyone here is focusing on word processing. It seems to me like we already have a ton of choice when it comes to word processors or text editors. What I would like to see is more choice on the spreadsheet front. It is, after all, the seco…

Another related question: How long before Mac OS X is ported to these game platforms? Since the base of Mac OS X is open source (Darwin), it seems to me like someone could write the required drivers, software layers, etc., to have one of those con…

I believe that it would be a waste of ressources for Apple to actually take OpenOffice.org and make it a native application. Anyways, some people at neooffice.org are already doing that and they are starting to get there with the new build of NeoOf…

NTFS is a very weird filesystem. It is not fully documented, which means that only Microsoft really understands completely what goes on in this filesystem. However, different programmers have been able to find here and there some information about…

AGP 8x cards are backwards compatible with AGP 4x slots, but I do not believe they are with AGP 2x because it's 2 generations behind and doesn't use the same AGP specification revision at all.

I agree that we should have a spring loaded dock, and I think that dragging anything to an application icon on the dock and holding it over should make the windows of this application come to the foreground, allowing you to drop whatever you are dra…

Yep! /. just reminded me of this nifty app. It seems to me like Skype is an actual disruptive technology and who better than Apple could bring it forward? It could become as big as the iPod to Apple if they were to develop this new solution...

Since VoIP is apparently the next big thing, maybe Apple should take a long hard look at Skype. It seems to me like this application might be much more than just a fad. If Apple would buy in now, it might score big.

You do know that dragging the applications folder to the right part of the dock makes it become like the menu you described, right? And as far as switching between windows of an app (or spreadsheets), this is what Exposé is for... (you can toggle …

What you really want for your laptop is to be using Sidetrack. It is a replacement driver for the touchpad that will allow you to scroll like when you have a scroll whell on a mouse. You can basically set it up the way you like, since it stays in …

According to Thinksecret, there as been no change to the developer documentation or file size for 10.3.6. Hopefully that means that it's basically frozen and will be released very soon!

There's a mirror here. You should be able to download it much faster there! I didn't take a look at it yet (it's 109 pages long!), but I plan to this weekend.

What would be really cool is if Q2DE would have the same hardware requirements as Quartz Extreme, basically only being a more advanced version of the latter. I have a question though. Do you think Q2DE would speed up scrolling? I have always fe…

There are only 2 software packages that I would tell you to get: 1) Poisoned 2) eDonkey v. 1.0 beta for Mac OS X. That's all you need. Anything else is either not good enough or not free.

Actually, this would be more like a Trojan, that is someone sends an "installer" program that contains the Trojan to an unsuspecting mac owner, the mac owner runs the installer, inputing the administrator password when required, and the Trojan gets …

In my experience, this is most of the time due to either an overheating CPU (usually an overclocked one) or bad RAM. In this case, I doubt it is a CPU issue, so I would try to look into the RAM, maybe removing one stick at a time to see if it solve…

From what I understand, H.264 actually uses less power to decode than mpeg2. You should have a look at Wikipedia's entry on H.264. And NTSC is actually 30 FPS (not 60) since only half of the lines are updated every 1/60 sec. As far as Apple loss…

Well, Vivendi Universal Games just sent out a press release to state that Half-Live 2 will ship..... November 16th! I guess Amazon does know a few things in advance!
