Could someone verify that this version will play: .asf .avi .wmv .asx .mpg .mpeg ?video files? I've never been able to play any of the above Windows video files on my PowerBook (which is now sold as I am waiting for my new one - so I …

I can't believe all this dialogue about a GUI to an OS that's still in the alpha stages. Windows 6 (Longhorn) is not due out until early 2006 - it's got plenty of time to grow. Microsoft usually finishes (or reveals) the true GUI closer to the fin…

I did a little shopping on 5th Avenue today and popped into both DataVision and CompUSA to check out the 15" AlBook. Unfortunately, the 15" AlBook display models in BOTH stores had the white spots. Prior to today, I also checked out the Apple Sto…

Personally, I've only looked at USB 2.0 as an upgrade to USB 1.1 - nothing else which was a huge standard. As far as I am concerned, the more 'high speed' standards out there the better. I like that I don't have to worry about whether my devices i…

If you insert a USB 2.0 device into a USB 1.1 port, XP pops up a little balloon window that states (warns) that even though your device is USB 2.0, you will transfer data at 1.1 since that is the limitation of the USB port on your system. However, …

The eMac would be a really great little machine if it didn't have such an awful display (washed out colors, constant flicker at the max resolution, uneven convergence, etc.) It would also be nice if there was a decent video card in there as well (R…

Wow! iTunes for Windows (XP) is great! I didn't expect it to have many of the options that the Mac version has. It runs great, sounds great, lists all my (3500) MP3s nicely and it's fast. It installed quickly too with no problems. Is there a …

The fact that people in this day and age are asking WHY people are gay is a direct insult to any human being who happens to be gay. Why speak of homosexuality as a bad thing? Why even entertain thoughts of and give into hideous religious rules, re…

Regarding the white/bright spots problem, it looks like people with even 2 or 3 PowerBook replacements are seeing the same problem. What's even more scary is that many of these displays were perfect from the start, but started to show this defect a…

Absolutely, Apple computers are put together very well and use the best chassis around and for that alone they can charge more, but not as much as they do for what they are offering inside. My post was touching on the inside of the machine and …

The only thing that's 'higher quality' in the iMac is the casing that it's in. Everything else inside is industry basic (if not last year's technology - or the year before that). Just because something costs more doesn't mean it's better. Apple's…

Well, I guess it depends on the type of music you're into, but I personally find the best tracks on a CD are the ones that never made it to radio and therefore certainly not the hits. So, I usually go for the whole album anyway if I like the artist…

While corny and indeed vomit inducing, if you just keep things in perspective, you'll see that it's totally harmless. OBVIOUSLY this letter was dreamt up by the grieving mother to put her mind at ease and to cope with her loss. She's obviously d…

Pushing all the quirky 15" AlBook issues aside (not to mention the current disappointing battery life) the thing that worries me the most is the current display problem(s). It seems that Apple has a bad batch of 15.2" displays as new buyers are pop…

According to those who posted the serial# to the Fujitsu Drives in their 15" AlBooks, it's the MHT2080AT model which has an 8MB cache (see spec link below). It doesn't look like Fujitsu makes an 80GB drive with a 2MB Cache. In fact, if you look at…

Latch and display problems aside, it's the inexcusable battery life that will keep me away from the new AlBooks until Apple does something about it. Only 2.5 hours of battery life (with real but reasonable usage) on a good day is completely rid…

Quote: Originally posted by ast3r3x That 'gap' is on all the Apple AlBooks and is part of their latch design - so I don't know why it took the introduction of the 15" model for people to start complaining about it. They all close and la…
