  • Quote: Originally posted by Applehaus Really? That kinda sucks for battery life. Does that mean that using PS would it dwindle it down to like a hour-45 minutes? No, the new ones get much better battery life - my freind gets up to 5 hours on …
  • One of my freinds just brought one of these new powerbooks - absoloughtly buitiful machine - the speakers, while a little lacking in the bass department are crystal clear. Its so thin, even though its a 17" laptop, its really easy to carry around. B…
  • Simple put, OSX and Apple hardware are awesome for one reason, and one reason only. They dont break. They just work. I dont actually own a .mac. I use them for F&TV at school and whenever I can erm... perform maintenaince... on my sisters G3 …
  • Quote: Originally posted by LiquidR With the much anticipated switch to Intel has anyone else considered the possible demise of the Macintosh moniker? It's a viable strategy, I think. Before Mac there was the Apple line and the Lisa. Why not a…
  • Quote: Originally posted by BushHater Guys.. I just felt I should point something "constructive" out. But it seems the density of several in here is very high. Maybe you should get the hardness of your heads tested. After all your talk about t…
  • Quote: Originally posted by sunilraman heh... btw mate, how come the aussies haven't sued apple yet for lack of iTMS AU ?? becuase we dont want the company to crash, forcing us to use the nineMSN music store. This way there is still hope.
  • What do you know, someone suing Apple, not Apple suing someone for once. Change is as good as a holiday.
  • Quote: Originally posted by aplnub I would settle for s-video in so I can hook up my direct tv box. I handt thought of that. Perhaps some sort of auxilary input so u can hook up an external tuner/console whatever. That would be kinda funky.
  • Quote: Originally posted by sjk Owning what, an iMac G5? Surely the point of owning that system is decided by more than Front Row and a remote. MI bad. Didi't realise it sounded like that. What I meant was, that while Front Row and everythi…
  • I wouldn't of disagreed about never seeing an intergrated Apple TV Tuner until they brought out Front Row, presumebly, to compete with MCE2005. WHile it looks like a great program, if Apple is serious about competing in this market, they need to giv…
  • Mad fun. I want one now. But i probably wont get one, need a portable mac moe than anything. Its a pity Front Row cat control an inbuilt HDTV tuner. And most windows PC's dont come with modems anymore - if u have that kind of internut, then ge…
  • Quote: Originally posted by melgross The point is that they aren't exactly the same. It's been pretty much agreed upon that Office for the Mac is better these days than Office for Windows. Photoshop has subtle differences that make its use on the…
  • Quote: Originally posted by sunilraman this would be possible if say [darwine] takes off. imagine just opening a windows app within mac os x as seamlessly as if it were a native mac app. then things might be dangerous for developers making fo…
  • Having thought this over at an hour other than 11 - 9:30 but oh well. My thoughts are this: Yes - it would be nice to be able to run windows on the Mac for games etc. However, as people are saying, developers will not compile for the platform if …
  • Quote: Originally posted by dutch pear isn't that exactly why Apple is going to "tolerate" the possibility of users installing windows on Mactel hardware??? This way, you get to work in osX and play games and use some legacy software in windows …
  • http://www.tomshardware.com/column/20050924/index.html Apparently MS is trying to bring gamers back to its PC platform. If they go through with that Designed for Microsoft Windows thingo, what are MAc users gonna do? Consumers, Apples main mar…
  • Quote: Originally posted by neutrino23 I think the decision to jump to Intel was made suddenly. Even if it is smooth and easy the transition to produce the first Intel machines will take time. Not only do they have to design and build (and specif…
  • Quote: Originally posted by melgross No, it wasn't argumentative. No matter how you try to emulate a graphics driver, you will slow the process down considerably. You mentioned Rosetta. It was certainly fair to point out that it wouldn't work. An…
  • Probably iTunes 5 is OSX86 native now. True they would of kept 4 as PowerPC and Windblows x86 to demo Rosetta, but when building 5, it would be universal. I'm thinking Apple is going to update portables and probably Mac Mini first, as these are b…
