  • Have been hoping for an in-dash iPod dock for some time... even chatted about it with an audio unit designer but he never came back with anything - the market is primed for it... someone simply needs to execute. Doesn't help that most of the design…
    in Ultimate ipod car dock ! Comment by walrusjb December 2003
  • Perhaps the moving of WWDC was because they **knew** the machines would be available early. The new Powermacs/architecture will do more to revive sales than 10.3... at least in key areas. SO - if you know you have to do a "second coming" sort of…
    in Macbidouille: 970's on sale at the end of May Comment by walrusjb May 2003
  • If you're having problems, try switching your transport protocol preferences to HTTP (from UDP) - on our network that's the only way I can patch in to Keynotes, etc. from Macworld... though UDP seems to work at home. YMMV, but it's something to t…

  • Truly sucks. I can't say that I don't understand the reasoning behind it, but it still sucks. SO will we now have to spend the cash on email + webspace we don't use in order to, say, activate 1-click in iPhoto? I understand the business…
    in .Mac *CONFIRMED* Comment by walrusjb July 2002
  • You know, I was whining about it this AM (the .Mac thing), but since they came right out and said it's a bean-counting thing, I don't mind at all - it wasn't shorunded in the spin I was expecting... maybe it just caught me offguard. The straightfor…

    in Apple Music Service LA Times article Comment by walrusjb March 2003
  • Can confirm... mine was working a while ago, now I'm getting the same message. Definitely doing a rotating deployment... am curious how they've got us broken up, now that I'm thinking about it... but they're definitely doing something to the ser…
    in Anyone try their iDisk? Comment by walrusjb July 2002
  • Originally posted by JYD [quote] But if you like doing it all yourself, why don't you be a real man and use nothing but the terminal? True haxxors use the terminal to download and install updates. Then they bust out another shell to sniff their lo…
    in Hacker to Apple: Watch those downloads Comment by walrusjb July 2002
  • I actually sent the iTunes guys feedback a few months back on the crossfading for CDs - that would rock, though I'm sure there are legal issues involved (struck me after I fired off feedback) Short of that, and more codecs, CPU usage is the big t…
    in iTunes 3 Comment by walrusjb July 2002
  • What can a Mac do that a PC can't? Easy one, beyond all the bullet points and back and forth: The Mac makes (made) it possible for me to enjoy my work again - and simply enjoy using a computer. Esoteric? Yes. A singular expereince? Def…
    in What can a mac do that a PC can't? Comment by walrusjb August 2002
  • I vote "Sleestack" as I imagine the sound they made eminating from those plastic nostril things.
    in What is the nickname for the new G4's? Comment by walrusjb August 2002
  • If it were to the displays, it would likely be an ADC revision. I'm thinking the cord to the keyboard is gonna be revised so we'll have both USB and FW on the keyboard - right out front for most purposes. And/or this is another piece of the fabl…

  • [quote] Implications for Marklar? Wasn't Marklar the planet Starvin' Marvin was trying to move his village to on South Park? Where every proper noun was Marklar?

    in Will we see the return of Newton? Comment by walrusjb January 2003
  • HP's had one of these on the boards for 4-5 years now... The concept is solid. I was really interested in it when I lived in a city + had to deal w/ traffic - the clock would access local traffic datasources to determine if there were delays, so it…

    in Apple spent 2 billion? on what? Comment by walrusjb August 2002
  • Agree with the last few... though I'm not going to take a guess on the age of the box, it looks cobbled... the design isn't integrated. Saw this thing for the first time this AM - and first thought was Sneaker Case. Make it look close enough to …
    in New PowerMac pictures leaked Comment by walrusjb July 2002
  • Once I saw it was a widescreen, there was no holding back. Really like my wife's (800 15'), but the resolution was a bit small for my taste, and the wide-aspect on my tiBook is missed on a 4:3 screen. This will fit the bill perfectly for an upgr…
    in iMac's future Comment by walrusjb July 2002
  • Cnet is reporting the same thing, though they quote Nick at one point - makes me wonder which one is the real source. I wasn't planning on a pMac until August/September anyway - so it's no skin off mine - but I think this will make for a dismal s…
    in No Powermacs at MWNY? Comment by walrusjb July 2002
  • You know, I can run Linux on my PS2 already... so let's not keep this discussion strictly to games. It's a very solid idea... it doesn't suprise me to hear it from anyone anymore. Have read all the naysaying on the Wolf thread, but it seem…
