  • Not having a Windows machine, can someone fill me in on what makes Picasso better than iPhoto? What are the missing features? Is there anything that iPhoto does better?
  • If Bluetooth sucks for a computer mouse, and RF is the way to go for a wireless mouse, why did Apple go with IR on the iMac? I mean, IR requires line of sight. So the remote requires line of sight. My understanding is that RF is pretty cheap,…

  • Looks like the Japanese iTMS has no Sony content either! So Japan just went ahead without Sony! Australia should do the same!
  • But surely if Apple were going to create peripherals that had a much better user experience with Bluetooth 2, they'd be keen on making everything Bluetooth 2. Yet they've just release an entire new line of computer with Bluetooth 1.
  • Didn't Apple just release the Mac mini, and it comes with Bluetooth 1, not 2? In which case, it seems unlikely they are going to make any Bluetooth 2 mouse in the near future...
  • Unfortunately there is no way to bring up a print dialog (as far as I can see) - so if you want to choose print options, duplexing, or number of copies, you can't do that. Shame we can't hold down option say while dragging or something like that to …
  • Bluetooth is only short range, so making an iPod with bluetooth is not particularly useful as a remote. Unless the "plug in" antenna is a beast that gives the bluetooth huge range. Otherwise it would make more sense to have 802.11 support buil…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Vox Barbara iPhoto library should move to where it belongs: ~/LIBRARY But in that folder ("Pictures") there are your pictures - just not in an easy to access format. Dig enough in the sub-folders and they are th…
  • Quote: Originally posted by JBL I realize it wasn't the exact feature Arnel was asking for; however it achieves the goal he mentioned. It seems to me that, under Arnel's proposal, if you don't leave your files in the "default" positions then you …
  • Quote: Originally posted by JBL Might I suggest you keep your desktop icons arranged by kind. All your drives will appear in the upper right followed by files. If you do this, you can't arrange the desktop the way you like - it is just one bi…
  • The thing is, the purple help button seems to be a solution to a problem nobody had. I don't recall anyone ever saying "Where is that help button? I can't see it". I think in fact it distracts from the rest of the interface, because there is anot…
  • Of course Omni do find themselves in a similar situation to Netscape, when Microsoft released IE. It looks like Omniweb 5.0 is going to be great, but people get IE and Safari for free, and like Windows, they may consider them "good enough". Howe…
  • Quote: Originally posted by eVo It will be interesting to see what his comments are of OmniWeb 5 and how the general public will like its interface. Dave was wrong, and Omniweb 5.0 will prove it. He/Apple had the chance to do something that …
  • Wow! They look pretty much like my suggestion to them that I posted on macnn with mockups over a year ago: Here was the thread: http://forums.macnn.com/showthread....50&pagenumber=3 And here is my screen mockup from back then: http:/…
  • Some of the buttons are badly labelled in some dialogs, as we've seen above. "Yes", "No"? Very poor. And what is with Cancel sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right? We have some new ones with OS X - the lock button in system preferenc…
  • The new "tabs" can actually cause confusion. Take a look at the first picture (Software Update). Which tab is highlighted - the first or second? If there are only two tabs, you can only tell based on colour (blue in this case). Sure, you lea…
  • Quote: Originally posted by woudstock umm.. How do you select those "dots" for labels? I don't think the current menu manager can even do a horizontal layout like that, and there would be no reason to make a new manager just for the Finder (…
  • Assuming these screen shots are real, 10.3 looks a little dull all up to me. The new finder really looks like XP's finder. It looks like Apple just copied Microsoft. And it looks wrong for some reason - too much white space on the left and at t…
