The other gamer in the house has lately been addicted to Clive Barker's Undying. In addition to the original game, there are lots of downloads of fan-created add-ons resulting from a contest. Dark, creepy, bloody. Fun! Has anyone out there played…

The only reason not to buy a 19" LaCie is...if you can get a great deal on a 22". If you haven't compared displays already, you've got to see the LaCie to appreciate the color depth and detail. If you are gaming or doing graphics, it's worth every c…

Sometimes I open the forum pages on other Mac sites...and it can be a really pathetic spectacle! Maybe five posts per topic, and nothing newer than a few days (or weeks) earlier. At least here, there are the faithful core posters to make it fun. Tra…

I can't believe there's an update thread and no one's mentioned Versiontracker and the related Versiontracker addiction! Obviously not everyone surfs the site daily to see if the last digit of a software version has changed...but you know who you ar…

Some cable providers almost require you to use modems. Or if you go out and buy your own, you still get charged for theirs. Ain't commerce great? And it's a good thing that connecting on OS X takes neither time nor brains, since some cable compan…

Ogg Vorbis has a nice sliding scale to select the quality, up to 10 (about 400 kbps), so you can pick something around 6 for everyday stuff. The Mp3 format is showing its age. I agree that classical music really suffers in mp3. Has anyone out the…

It should be simple to be able to support the latest OS without shedding tears for what it replaces. The choice is easier for individuals, but tough for the businesses that are running on 8 or 9 and don't have the resources to change everything all …

This re-licensing issue has been covered from the start on The Register, Slashdot, C|net and other tech news sites. If the strongarm tactics don't wake up more sys-admins, what will? Despite the fancy-accounting shenanigans disclosed of late, someon…

Why would anyone choose Hotmail over the alternatives? Unless you enjoy spam, tiny storage and intrusions by the 'editors' to delete your mail. Any cruise on Tucows, C|net or your download site of choice will give you dozens of possibilities. Als…

Steve will release the iBitch, a tiny portable device that feeds negative commentary into your ear, especially about your daily wardrobe selections..."Gee Steve, if you wear a suit you'll look like some freakin' Linux rep, and they make your butt lo…

I haven't seen any comments on this thread yet that quote the teachers and students who are already using the iBooks in the pilot schools. The teachers are amazed at the enthusiasm and eagerness of their kids in class, and the kids are discovering g…

PodUtil is a nice solution for OS 9, and you can try iPod Viewer for OS 10 (the latter works great to transfer files between your computers at home too, if you are not networked). And did anyone remember to say 'happy birthday' to the iPod this w…

You can also power your iPod using the FireWire card on your PB (if your card has a power jack) by using the iPod's power supply and the adapter cable made by Redcuff (Defiant-it's Swiss, btw!). This is great is you have a pre-Pismo PB and want to u…

I bought an Olympus Camedia C-3040 last year, and it's fantastic. I'm sure the models have changed by now (and probably gone down in price: typical!), but the picture quality and ease of use, ability to customize etc. is great. My first digital w…

The iPhoto Library leaves a lot to be desired. I'd like to be able to store photos in the albums to keep them organized, but have the files IN the albums, not as a huge block of unrelated material in the library. This looks like a clear case for thi…

I'm not a techie, but this is a really common problem with ICQ. Sometimes it's just version incompatibility. For example, Gerry's ICQ will allow some transfers, but not others, and the latest Mac ICQ behaves differently. It can also vary from night …

My OS 9.2.2. using sweetheart has about six font tool apps that he uses whenever he needs to work with fonts: no single tool does it all. Some are good for previewing (like FontCat), some for printing out custom samples (like Lemke's FontBook). Tryi…

I've found the join tracks really useful for classical music, when it's in the mood to work, that is. Sometimes it's available, and sometimes it's grayed out...kind of bizarre. There isn't a logic pattern to the occurences, so maybe it's a bug?

Since this is a Mac site, there must be lots of graphics guys and gals out there on their keyboards, so...which beer LABELS do you think are the best designed, most eye-catching, most fun or whatever? Check out the Canadian Unibroue labels, for…

We saw it opening day in Montreux after spending the previous nights on the 4 DVD set of the first movie as a warm-up. Since it's a kind of skeptical-of-CGI household, the bits with Gollum were a bit uneven to enjoy. The wolves were pretty lame c…
