  • Les Quatre-Cent Coups Tirez sur la Pianiste Jules et Jim (Possibly the best French film ever.) Lawrence of Arabia Rear Window (Grace Kelly...Mmm...) All About Eve Blow Up (Unjustly obscure today, but still great.) The Lady from Shanghai Carn…

  • I can understand many of his complaints; I'd also generally agree that OS X feels only 80% finished. Its responsiveness is erratic, there are still too many bugs, a few things missing, and yes - the design of the UI could stand to be refined as well…
    in Register.com claims that 90% of Mac users hate Aqua/OS X Comment by mark January 2002
  • I'd be surprised if Apple itself has a definate date for ending work on Classic Mac OS (here's to OS 9.5.1.2.2! ) It'll likely be maintained for Blue Box purposes, receive bug fixes, etc. for a long time yet. The more important questions (now …

    in Arg! iBooks must improve! Comment by mark May 2002
  • "Microwave-on-Steroids" or ''Stick-in-a-Bun?" Hmm... Personally, I'd choose the eMac. Partly for the lower price, but mostly for the clean, almost unbearably cool more-modern-than-modern-itself monoform design. The new iMac may have been compo…
    in iMac vs. eMac - let's get it on! Comment by mark May 2002
  • Thumbs up for the eMac. Apple has to offer something CRT-based for schools - at least for the forseeable future - but the G3 iMac is desperately dated. Ergo, eMac. It's easy to see this newer design receiving a price cut later this year, and the G3 …
    in New eMac looks pretty good Comment by mark April 2002
  • macXusr, that argument has been made time and again since portable computers appeared. But just as surely, there will always be people who need their PCs to be mobile - or simply prefer it. Try hauling a 22-pound desktop from home to school. From…
    in 14" iBook defies logic. Comment by mark January 2002
  • I was considering getting an iBook this spring, and the choice of a 14.1" screen @ 1024x768 suddenly makes that purchase a lot more likely... Why? It's easier on the eyes than 12.1" at the same resolution. I was never comfortable with that arrang…
    in 14" iBook defies logic. Comment by mark January 2002
  • Hmm. I think I was recommending the MiniPro right before the old AI forums vanished...knock on wood. Anyway, I love the MiniPro. I was just about to give up and buy one of those awful, oversized and overwrought mice on the market (three butto…

  • The prices quoted in the article are in U.S. dollars. The story almost certainly was not given to TIME Canada. TIME Canada is a "split-run" publication which combines Canadian content with that from its U.S and international counterparts. Besi…
    in *** New iMac Design Discussion Comment by mark January 2002
  • From what I can see from the TIME cover, I like the concept - but the shape of the base is a disappointment. The hemisphere isn't as strong a visual element as the screen; it just looks uncoordinated and somewhat dumpy. Put your finger over the b…
    in *** New iMac Design Discussion Comment by mark January 2002
  • It would be rude to boo the speakers during the keynote. But of course, that won't stop people from doing it. Not only because rudeness is seldom recognized today (which is true), but because such is the level of scorn at the disruption of our stead…

  • Ha ha - this thread isn't really about iMacs. (In fact, I wonder if it would get more attention at this crazy time with a more appropriate title.) Anyway, happy birthday Apple: Steve Jobs must have a good laugh sometimes over what he…

  • It's a palindrome. But oddly enough, it makes an ideal slogan for the new iMac as well. Cheers, Mark.

  • I've never actually seen one of those infamous Dell ads (although I suspect the actor's agent is working overtime in bringing him to my attention regardless...) Link, anyone? Cheers, Mark.
