http://www.pbase.com/johncoggi/image/40667989 The capacitors either have an "X" shape or the newer "K" shape. If yours has X capacitors, they will inevitably blow at some point (unless you barely push the system), causing the system to fail, with…

So to confirm from those in an absolutely silent room, the rev B iMacs still have the low volume "buzzing" or "humming" sound that vaguely resembles a dentist drill or model airplane? And I certainly hope they are all using K capacitors now, if y…

You're both missing the point. I don't think workarounds satisfy OS X's usability paradigm. When the QT window is so big that stuff constantly gets in the way, there's a problem.

I think they should just expand QuickTime into a full-blown video manager. Either that or rename iTunes and get rid of QuickTime. iSync needs to go back to the way it was. I'm tired of all this crossover and convoluted mess.
-
I though Apple was not into the swiss army knife approach? iTunes supports audio, photos, and now video. At this point, the app is ready to be renamed (iMedia?). A standalone QuickTime player also seems less and less necessary at all, let alone a…

How do you uninstall widgets though? Isn't there a more official way besides having to navigate to the library folder and deleting it? Even that is kind of quirky.
-
Add a spreadsheet app? I think most consumers are put off because it is an "incomplete" suite. But I agree, great apps, and great price. How well did Keynote sell when it was standalone?
-
The iMac is still expandable externally. Effective enough for "prosumer" use.

What with the conception that the G5s are behind in any way? AMD (the fastest/best you can get for PC) is only at 2.6GHz, and who even takes Intel frequencies seriously? Apple just needs to adopt a ratings system like AMD and Intel, instead of be…

If "Google Messenger" comes out for PC and uses the open Jabber protocol like the new iChat AV, all will be right with the world of instant messaging. Everyone seems to flock to whatever Google does, they have the power to rip people away from AIM, …

I don't think one-button mice have a whole lot of effect on UI design, you can basically use all of Windows with just the left button too, should you want to. Most all of these "contextual" options are also available in the menus in any OS. Bad desi…

AMD is soaring at 2.6Ghz?

You can get it for console, the translation is pretty intuitive and it works extremely well (and it looks great). The Xbox Live experience is so much better than the usual sloppy PC implementation of multiplayer..

Jesus, what is it with people on the Internet, nowhere did I whine or say that it wasn't a good deal, I don't need to be pigeonholed into some stereotype you have imagined. It just makes upgrading more difficult is all, I was totally prepared for…

It's comparable to a laptop LCD more than a desktop LCD, but if I were to compare it to one, just pick the cheapest 17" you can find online. Honestly I don't know if you're a quality freak or not, I may be harping on it more than it deserves. It…

God forbid anyone complain about an Apple product. I was just posting my personal experience with the product, I like to think I am pretty discerning when it comes to quality. I am sure for general use the LCD would be acceptable to most people ("oh…

Do some more research, here are the real monitor specs, the 17" iMac uses a Quanta panel: http://www.qdi.com.tw/main_07Cons.asp?Id=38 It does NOT display the full range of colors. I should know that it's terrible from owning one (and going thr…

It shouldn't be a big issue, it's about where the PC world is sitting at with their highest performing CPUs, the Athlon 64s. the 4000+ is at 2.4GHz and the FX-55 is at 2.6GHz, so it seems pretty comparable to me. Plus you get two of them! It just…

It does not display millions of colors, you can even tell when it's trying to display a harder color, it will flicker very fast (rare to come by, but it does happen if you're perceptive). I've went through 3 17" iMac G5s and they are all the same wa…
