  • Well, this is what they say: Quote: The Apple Pro Mouse has also been slightly modified, though details of this are sketchy, to say the least. Sounds to me like a minor revision and one that no one is really sure of. The poster people looked …

  • Congratulations Mandricard!!! I'm truly glad that hope sprung true for you and look forward some day in the not too distant future to spring for my very own 15 gig iPod
  • I'm in the UK too and I bought my Podium Coolpad from a UK company called TeleAdapt which I just telephoned to put my order in and which they shipped out to me the very next day at regular Royal Mail prices. This was cheaper than the UK Apple Store…
  • I'm not too sure about the ROM issue you/the dealer mention although I can tell you that I haven't had any problem with OS X on my iBook 500. The problems may have ocurred on earlier coloured/clamshell iBooks? But I shouldn't be commenting at all on…
  • Personally I'm waiting for the release of Bloom County
  • I was going to suggest that having young kids could explain As The Apple Turns running a story related to bodily fluids/excrement but the fact that this story looks legit flushes that theory down the toilet. Still this just sounds a touch too wacky …
  • Quote: Originally posted by missyvortexdv well i still haven't heard the fan kick in, but installed linux for powerpcs this weekend and no crashes, no overheating. but then it also hasn't been put on furnishings either, only desk. but will have …
  • Quote: Originally posted by klinux Personally, I would have like the old iPod design with sold state buttons. If they had kept the design the same but made the buttons solid state then people would be constantly clicking buttons by mistake whe…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Nitzer It definitely looks shorter. The finger things to pick it up are much closer to the front and the whole thing is shorter. It could be that they just shrunk the image horizontally. I think it is just the …
  • That is a very nice offer for anyone currently needing to buy a new Mac and one that I would have gladly taken had my iBook been unrepairable. It looks like it is an offer that can only be taken out through Apple Authorised Resellers and not through…
  • Too many threads with the same material! It's a good thing its good material! *runs with glee whilst tearing hair from head*
  • Quote: Originally posted by Nitzer When a kingdom's knights and citizens just up and move, the old king will just crumble under the weight of his own crown... Ahhh.... someone who knows his politics
  • Quote: Originally posted by NETROMac Possible, but I have not seen any keyboard like it though. Yes, it is just a thought seeing as there is nothing to imply that all the products pictured are Apple designed/made. But when I think about it…
  • I know this seems unlikely because if not someone would have probably spotted it by now, but is it just possible that the keyboard pictured is one manufactured by another company as a third party peripheral? I mean the poster doesn't just show Apple…
  • Quote: Originally posted by MacGregor I was wondering about the size of the navigation wheel of the new v. old iPod. I assume they are the same, but I haven't seen them side-by-side and the buttons on the old version made the wheel seem bigger t…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Escher Retrograde: The white iBooks, including the 500Mhz model which you and I have, do have fans. EmAn is right about that. But the iBook/500 runs so cool that the fan will come on very rarely, if at all. I clearly r…
  • Great laugh!

  • BUMP! Ok, so I'm just wondering if there has been any word on whether things are going to change on the 'favicon' front or whether we will be sticking with the black apple icon?
  • I guess maybe a Mod could move this post to the Genius Bar? I think this guy might get a little more help/advice if it was in there
