  • Quote: If you want a guess of what leopard will be like look at the OS X page at Apple.com when the X comes in. The new look will probably not be that glossy. I feel like it will be closer to the crumpled metal with shiny elements that is visib…
  • The press release was explicitly clear that the iPhone will be released on time, because the OS X staff were used to ensure the on-time release.
  • So, did anyone else notice that the crumpled metal and the shine are all over the FCS 2 page? (of course you did) It even has QuickLook-like popups for the products and reflections, which, though not new, are new for this context. I think this is th…
  • Uh, you mean, to boost the range of the AirTunes? No, you have to use an AirPort Extreme.

  • A friend who DL'd the Windows 2000 source code when it was leaked said it was turtles all the way down. Also - a terrible random number generator.

  • The best way to do this is to keep your hands clean when you are near a computer, but this can obviously be hard, and you still have to clean it anyway. The sensitivity and small form factor of the nipple-ball require that you clean it every week…
  • Yeah, all you need is a Brazilian Keyboard with USB and you're set, once you've turned on the international settings. I write in Russian all the time, and with the exception of Microsoft Word, which refuses to stay in one language, and I have no pro…
  • Poop on a stick! I brought this up in january, and people did before me too. See: http://forums.appleinsider.com/showthread.php?t=70695 I guess good artists copy, and great artists steal, eh Ireland?
  • This whole thing is rather invasive, especially because he is so clearly uncomfortable with fame. Even at most keynotes he seems to ignore the adulation and cheering of the crowd, except when he is really excited himself. Compare his style to Phil S…
  • I don't know how well this will work. NIST wanted to install Red Hat because, well, it's NIST, but lawyers at the Department of Commerce blocked the deal, because of security issues. As I understand it, Red Hat required them to publish any component…
  • I'm gonna try to help, but I think you are not being open to the platform and are in ignorance of the root causes of these problems. 1. What kind of attachments? Word documents. Windows Media files? I'm sure Apple Mail is fine, the issue is with …

  • A few things: 1. The MacBook Pro is the high-end laptop. The Mac Pro is a desktop tower aimed at the highest-end users. You probably do not need a Mac Pro. 2. It sounds like you might prefer the MacBook Pro, rather than the iMac, because it woul…
  • I agree about the memory, but I bet that Toshiba is thicker, and certainly larger. So it's apples to oranges. I can't say that without it sounding like a pun. I hate puns.

  • Didn't the revised iBook use double-shot polycarbonate? Or was that just more translucent than the iBook G4 or MacBook?

  • A friend of mine who works at a 800-student private school was talking about this. The wanted more standardization so that they could replace parts easily and compensate for problems, like using a partition on a server to fill in for a broken HD. Bu…
