  • Just got my Mac Pro and realized that MySQL hasn't posted a 64 bit version of MySQL for x86 systems. Oh the humanity!

  • Maybe in Leopard, I can't say for sure though. FireFox 2 has this feature though, capturing all popups and opening them as tabs instead.

  • Got my Mac Pro and will start setting it up in about 5 minutes. I'm a little concerned about blowing a fuse in the building with running both my G5 and Mac Pro on the same circuit but we'll see how it goes. One weird thing was when I first put t…

  • So far FedEx has not been impressive with delivery of my Mac Pro. Their online tracking system tends to be out of date by at least 6 hours and my delivery time has been pushed once already. The revised estimate is today but I'm not that confiden…

  • The fact that iTV only has HDMI and component video output is a subtle nod to HD. To me it is obvious they are not courting the SD crowd and cheers to that!

  • I see the setting in my iTunes and can't wait to use this feature! The CD player in my Prius can display CD text but up to now I've had to make CDs in Toast which I've only done a few times since its not as convenient as having it right in iTunes.

  • I think the pre-announcement was to tell everyone that Apple will have a complete solution for movies and other content. Just sticking feature films on your iPod with no way to get it to your TV is sort of a dead end, but now we know that things ar…

  • Looks like Front Row 2 on a set top box to me. Probably still finalizing the software and hardware. I hope Apple finally opens the API for this so I can write my own plugins. Either way, I'll buy one!

  • Normal backup systems examine all your files and compare the results to the last time they did that so they can archive changed files. Time Machine is better however because it plugs in to the same hooks used by Spotlight so that anytime a file is…

  • I'm pretty sure the original image was on engadget now that I think about it but linked from digg. (Thanks for the buddy hookup Ireland! You can follow my Mac/Nintendo-centric left-wing leaning diggs now. )

  • Hey don't be pointing fingers at Ireland here, I just realized he's one of the few diggers I follow. On digg I've had him as a buddy for a while now and didn't even know he was a fellow AI rumormonger! (My digg profile.) I saw this photo on dig…

  • FedEx finally upated its tracking system and now its quoting delivery on Wednesday instead of Tuesday. Man o man why didn't I pick 2-day delivery... Serenity now! You love your Dual G5! 8)

  • I'm not a hardcore gamer but I definitely will be playing games on my Mac Pro and not via Windows. Nothing is so must-have that I'd reboot for it -- reminds me of the old DOS days with custom per-game boot disks just so you can max out your emm386 …
