They also didn't perform any updates on the linux or Mac machines - yet let XP SP2 download its automatic updates. I didn't have a Mac when Jaguar was around, but I know in Pather software update launchs just after install - surely it would have …

Some exe's are actually just zip archives that call a built in version of winzip - I have no idea if that would be the case with flash animations. You could try runnning an unzip on it, but if you break anything you get to keep the pieces

Seeing as though no evidence seems to have been produced yet it's difficult to speculate. I suppose the only real way of knowing would be to check serial numbers (supposing they haven't been changed) and compare with a list of serial numbers on mach…

Funny thing is, the price is still up more than $10 from what it was a few months ago - I wish I'd bought!!!

Do any other companies make decent one button mice? I know it probably sounds crazy but I actually prefer having only one button I agree with pbaker05, the apple wireless mouse is pretty good - bar the skipping.

I do this with a cron script: #!/bin/bash cd /Volumes/disk2/backups tar -cvjf imac-backup-`date +%d-%m-%y`.tar.bz2 /Users/ of course this assumes you want to back up all of the Users directory to the directory backups on a second disk named …

I bought an iMac at the end of January (surely a sign updates are imminent..) and I'm very happy with it. I was going to wait for a possible revision, then I thought I may as well wait for Tiger too and save myself £70. Eventually I realised this wa…

With the colour screen I don't care either way, if I want to display photos etc I'll get the iPod photo and the UI can't really be improved by adding extra colours (I guess a colour screen is more of a battery drain than mono too?). The only other t…

If the iPod is mounted on the remote machine and you're connecting via ssh I'd suggest taking a look in /Volumes/Eric's\\ iPod or whatever the iPod is called - you can access loads of things from there but the directory structure is, um, interest…

With the mini you no longer get a firewire cable, and the charger is now USB based - strange.

You'll probably want at least 512MB or ram for decent performance, either find one with this fitted or budget for an upgrade. The latest revison iBook comes with airport extreme as standard, all earlier G4 iBooks will have the airport connector.…

I have a 160GB lacie d2 extreme (has a firewire 800 interface, along with the usual 400), it looks good and has always performed well IME. If you're on a tight budget its better to look at enclosures and cheap IDE disks - especially as the mac mini …

Finders not so bad, just so long as you don't want to search for anything (I prefer the rest of the file manager to windows explorer and nautilus anyway). I have a feeling that searching with finder will become redundant with the indexing of spotlig…

Thats a good one! From the same people who scooped BarbieOS too!

I believe such multifunction devices are the way forward, eventually combined with a video phone - I just don't see it happening soon. The first company to get everything integrated well in an attractive small form will make a killing!

Can you not have two seperate user accounts? That way you'd automatically get two different libs - fast user switching means flicking between the two is easy.

It's not impossible, ipodlounge has a list of software that might help, one that springs to mind is ipodrip. If you're comfortable with cli, cp -R /Volumes/[iPod name]/iPod_Control/Music/* ~/Music/iPod Then add the dir ~/Music/iPod into itu…

Quote: I thought the Mini hadn't been updated to include the Notes feature or the Shuffle feature yet. Mine has both, it's running the 1.2 firmware.

Ha Ha! I smell a lawsuit brewing....

It's also possible to rip all the songs from an ipod onto another disc via the command line, simple recursively copy the music containing dirs into a new dir on your machine, then import the dir into itunes. It took me a while fiddling around wit…
