Yeah BBC has a podcast called NewsPod which is quite decent but it's like a daily 40 minute podcast that I don't have the time for

Hmm, yeah But I don't really think that news is always *about* politics though. Sure things will always involve politics, but it doesn't mean every story has to be about it. If people decide to crash planes into tall buildings in New York, there wi…

Hey It seems that you're right, the random item does get seeded by one random thing or another automatically. However, the wallpaper change still doesn't persist across sessions It seems the core problem to any of these solutions is that os x re…

Works great, thanks I'll let you know if it doesn't persist over reboots, uses the same random seed, or other quirks like that

Hey Will give this a try and let you know how it works. Thanks guys!

Yes I do realise the code isn't actually "compiled", but the thing is that it's still PPC wrapper code that gets run, and that gets run through Rosetta.

I think that's what Apple's currently riding on. No one's complaining since everyones happy with what they have. Having a hardware decoder has a number of benefits: firstly it's a dedicated video processor that will post-process the image using t…

By the way, I was always wondering why the hell applescripts were SO dang slow, especially on startup, it feels like it tries to load up 20 JVM's for it to execute the script. When I was fiddling with this, I found out why: try compile an applesc…

Hey lundy Thanks. This does work however it's rather a workaround solution. The old wallpaper still gets loaded and after my other login items load and the applescript dock icon bounces around a bit, the wallpaper finally changes. I wasn't hoping…

Hey It looks like what I said about saving session before was a bit simplistic. Here's what it does in detail: When the script is initially run it changes the wallpaper. Run it a few more times and it'll always do it. Reboot and this wallpaper…

Quote: 3) If you read the documentation, you would see the Applescript commands "POSIX Path" and "POSIX File" which allow you to use the POSIX notation. Could you point me to some decent documentation? Thanks. Looking on the apple dev site gives…

Hmm... here's something interesting about the MB and the GMA950's dynamically shared memory scheme. Straight from Apple. Though it doesn't say up to how much RAM the IGP will use. Interesting to note about the RAM interleaving though, and I think so…

I'm thinking 2D games should be just fine for the GMA950. If it handles Quartz Extreme, I'm pretty sure it should handle those Yeah, we definitely need windoze game experiences. Sadly, there just doesn't seem to be enough Mac games, though this pag…
