Since I was one of those who never bought the headless argument or the "I want PowerMac specs at eMachines prices" ranting, the specs and prices that ThinkSecret is talking about sound about right. I expect that they will sell as well as the last…

The title of this thread is "REALISTIC suggestions for new iMac 2004". Being realistic means that you also have to take into account the amount of money Apple has decided it needs to make on each box. Being realistic doesn't mean that you scour …

While I love all of the mockups, I don't think that they take into account the vast amount of space that will be required to cool the G5. So, the question becomes... How to design something that contains a really large heatsink and air channel, …

The Mall of America Apple Store (Bloomington, Minnesota) will be closed for renovation from Oct 6th through Nov 11th. Since this Apple Store has some of the largest foot traffic and sales of all the stores, I'm doubtful that it would be left out …

I think that bluesigns is really off the mark (especially since he didn't bother to mention what he thinks is so terrible about TextEdit). In my view, TextEdit is incredible. This is one of the first and best examples of Cocoa programming to com…

A very important thing to keep in mind when considering the risk of HIV infection is that the transmission has to be blood to blood. By this I mean that the blood from the HIV-infected person, with still-active virus (the virus doesn't live very lo…

OWC is a great company. The fact that they only you charged you a nominal amount to take back dead RAM, when they would have been happy to send you a replacement at no extra charge, is better than you get with many companies. Your strenuous effort…

Congratulations! You just had a kernel panic!! Since they are getting rare, you should relish the experience. It may not come again. The problem with trying to figure out why a kernel panic happened is that there are so many things going on in…

Forget the whole menu extras thing. Avoid hacking the system; especially if you want the users of your software to appreciate your work! Status Menus are an excellent tool for the developers (this assumes that you have 10.2 and its associated deve…

First off, I'm sorry that the old ADB tablets are not (and never will be) supported in OS X. Wacom is very clear about this. It is a technical issue that cannot be overcome. Dismissing the bandwidth issue with ADB doesn't make it go away! Havi…

Why does shutdown in 10.2 take longer than in 10.1; and why does it take even longer sometimes? Part of the answer has to do with the Unix layer; which has been significantly changed in Jaguar. Some of the stuff that used to be done at startup i…
