  • 1) Home on iPod 2) Speech recognition that works 3) Fix iSync (e.g., it is always telling me that I have a zillion contacts that are going to be deleted and a zillion contacts that are going to be added; it doesn't let me check what is going to be…

  • I agree with Daniel, percent of your collection is not really important. I have hundreds of CDs I bought before iTunes. Now I probably buy a third of my music on the iTMS, but the total is still way under 10% of my collection. Total tracks, or perce…

  • Check out the man page for open (e.g., type "man open" into the terminal). It says you can use the form open -a applicationName fileName For example, I just tried: open -a "Adobe Photoshop CS" IMG_0163.JPG Seemed to work as expected.

  • Nobody else likes Chartsmith? Well I do. It is a Cocoa program; pretty nice interface; easy to use. It doesn't have all the features of Kaleidagraph or DeltaGraph but if I am doing somethign straight forward, it would definitely be my choice. ht…

  • What are you intending to do with it? My limited experience with open office is that it works but the point of being on a mac in the first place is that I want to use Mac-like programs. If I wanted to use Linux-like programs I would run Linux. Th…

  • Definitely wait to see what is announced next week. I see the choice of PowerPC vs x86 as independent of that. For someone who was going to buy another computer in under three years I would say definitely go for the PowerPC. Chances are many applica…

  • I will agree that if you want to do any sort of page layout with images you probably want to go with Pages. NWE's image handling is really a week point. However, if you are trying to write a manuscript, for instance, NWE has some very nice features.…
