  • Isn't HTML 5 supposed to make it easier to view different media types inside the browser? I would think any "web features" in the new iMovie would be to make it easy for properly coded HTML 5 pages to read the meta data and load the appropriate plug…
  • Any chance of this making it into Phil's keynote address next week?
  • iWeb - gets projects support so we do not have to copy/move/rename the Domain.sites file. iPhoto - gets a backup feature so we can select the rolls/events/photos that we want to back up and also choose where they are to be saved. The meta data an…
  • Whatever you do, you should wait until after MWSF2009, which usually happens the first full week in January, because the iMac and Mac mini should be updated then. If you do not like the updated models then you can get the "old" model, probably for l…

  • I am against browser spoofing because it gives businesses the wrong impression about what browsers are being used to access their sites. The more people that set their browser to fool sites into thinking they are being accessed by IE, the less likel…

  • The one feature Numbers needs is the ability to import AppleWorks databases so people do not have to rely on a non-supported application for their database needs.
  • You could try the Camino web browser. The latest release can be found at http://caminobrowser.org/download/releases/#os10.2.8. Their catch phrase is "Mozilla Power, Mac Style"

  • I noticed Wikipedia states that: Quote: On September 18, 2007, Pat Gelsinger demonstrated USB 3.0 at the Intel Developer Forum. The USB 3.0 Promoter Group announced on 2008-11-17 that version 1.0 of the specification has been completed and is trans…
  • I thank you both. I tried both way and they both work. Why I did not look into Universal Access, I will never know.

  • The items I see getting shown are:Mac mini - It will either be redesigned or replaced, but we will see it. I expect the DisplayPort will be standard size since it is a desktop model. Cinema Displays - People need something to connect their new Mac m…
  • The Mac mini just needs to have its internals updated with:2.0 GHz "Penryn" processor 1066 MHz front-side bus 2 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM (PC3-8500) with support for 4 GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 9400M "graphics processor AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n) B…

  • No, they should leave Pixelmator alone. I think Apple intends to make Aperture their "Photoshop", but they will not market it as a Photoshop "killer", nor even try to go after the "serious" professionals. Using the 80/20 rule (80% of the people use …
  • The Mac Pro is a workstation, not a desktop, so Apple can keep it as high-end as they want. The iMac is an all-in-one and it serves its purpose well. The Mac mini also serves its purpose well, but it needs to be updated with the same innards as the …
  • I think you should wait until the iMac is updated before making any purchases. If you do not like the new model then start your search for used iMacs because people will be trying to sell off their "old" iMac to get the newest one.
