There was a very wealthy old lady in georgetown that wanted a swimming pool. She couldn't have one because of the strict zoning there, so she hired people to quietly dig one in her basement by hand, bag by bag of dirt. An instance of the mega rich…

Congrats on moving away from Microsoft, to Mac and Open Office. You can always try Gimp later, it's a great application, with a very different interface paradigm of independent floating palettes. It's not trying to be photoshop, which is why it dr…

I'm all for a subnotebook. Will have to go to pc hardware + linux if one doesn't show up from apple within 6 months. 10" screen and optical drive is possible, look at the fujitsu p-series and the averatec 1000 and 1100 series - the 1100 has a dvd …

I think that the networking beachball was the worst problem with osx up until very very recently. They seem to have really improved it in later versions of 10.4 (the finder doesn't totally choke anymore when waiting for a nonexistent server) T…

ARg!!!. . . . We are confusing HD and H264, (or maybe you all are talking about the same thing, and I missed the day we agreed on what HD means) HD is not a codec! My understanding is: H264 = AVC = Mpeg 4 part 10 = hot new codec HD = h…

Well, I know that the mini I bought created a switcher. Not me, but my sister, who gets my eMac. The Mini buying experience was terrific, just called local apple store and asked if they had any in stock. They said that they get about 25 eve…

While it is certainly interesting to note the Harmony userbase is so infinetesimal that no one actually noticed this between Nov 15th and today, it is dissapointing that Apple is disabling capabilities in the ipod because of the lame shift in tone t…

Ok, am done complaining about how slow it runs on Virtual PC. Now using the Mac version and the naval battles run so fast they are impossible. Anyone know of a way to slow down the clock on old games under classic? Someone suggested using dev…

This is such funny timing! I just got two boxed sets of Pirates Gold (PC version) from one of the original developers. When I helped my friend move apartments the other day I saw the boxes sitting around in shrink wrap and I asked if he was a coll…

If you are 2D and video editing, save your money on the GPU and buy the RAM. The 9800XT is a bitchin card and has been top of the heap in it's generation (last 12 months) It's pretty much exclusively the 3D guys to whom the Nvidia 6800 makes se…

Bluetooth is a tiny chip and extremely cheap. The chip is probably $3 and the Antenna and fittings another $3. Seriously, the only reason they charge you more is that their target market is the cell phone hipsters who will pay for the hipness fact…
