We just saw the flick the other night and the first thing that raised the "what were they thinking!?" groans was that atrocious Madonna title track. It had nothing to do with Bond, the movie, and sounded like it was recorded by and for robots. As fo…

Anyone here played 'Riddle of the Sphinx' and gotten that been-there-done-that feeling? I think all they'll find is Geraldo Rivera's mummy.

The only person I know who could manage an intelligible comment after seeing this movie renamed it "Crap Circles" and thought it would have made a so-so episode on the Outer Limits along with the rest of the guy-in-a-rubber-suit alien genre. Some su…

TMBG was written up in the August 12 issue of The New Yorker, in an article by Michael Azerrad. Kind of a history and philosophy approach, with a note of relief that not all bands are just media hype. Nice photo too. And guys who play the accord…

I can't compare since I've never owned a car with power anything, which makes me a diehard fan of manual transmissions. Automatic things...it just doesn't feel like driving. And a mustang should be fun, not just another A to B ride. And of course…

No winning for sure. The two weird things about the Northridge quake were: finding a roommate and moving to a different part of LA instead of taking an apartment in the Northridge Meadows complex (the one that collapsed on itself and killed people) …

And I thought this thread would be a nostalgic look back to January 1994 and the Northridge quake. Something that actually knocks you out of bed at 4:30 in the morning counts as a quake, but once in a lifetime was enough for me. Anyone else here …

OK, Fellowship, you and I could have an all-Chopin thread, with the only controversies being which pianists you prefer. A lot of people think of Chopin as being just waltzes and the usual classical top-40 easy-listening, but any further explorati…

How about C.J. Cherryh? David Brin? Larry Niven (for fun, before he got too loopy, that is) And, not sci-fi, but darned interesting: the Gormenghast trilogy by Mervyn Peake. If you have a scientific mind, the neurology books by J. Allan Hobson…

It can be a drag when a movie that looks good is held back by having to say "But, Tom Cruise is in it!". I'll see it anyway, but I'm curious about the other anti-TC posters here: who would you have cast in this role? The bigger drag is that the f…

I got Font Reserve at the same time as Jaguar because of reading about fonts being stored all over the place on OS X. It's a great utility for managing everything from one browser, with plenty of options (and it's happy on 10)

David Pogue's Mac OS X book has some good suggestions for creating a separate Classic boot set (with tons of extensions turned off) and keeping a full OS 9 set for when you want to boot in 9 with everything you might want turned on.

Aren't outrageous posts one of the reasons it's so easy to spend hours on message boards? If everyone always agreed...how plain vanilla a universe it would be. I couldn't help thinking of my mom on her iMac having root access. I mean, she keep tr…

The nice guys over at Macsonly have been putting Jaguar through its paces, releasing their findings bit by bit,and today they were discussing Mail and importing from Entourage, with some real life issues, etc. They had like 15,000 old messages to mo…

Are you using OS X or OS 9? A lot of audio stuff is still catching up, and that will make a difference in your choice obviously.

Is it slow? It seems to take its time to launch, but once up, it works fine. However, the pleasure of not having any MS Office products on my TiBook more than makes up for the slight hassle of the delay. The only problem I've had so far is the Ex…

I created partitions in Disk Utility with 10.1.4 and 9.2.2 before loading the 10.2 update. It went very smoothly, and there weren't any permissions issues, just the usual administrator password.

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…

It will be interesting (though in an unpleasant way) to see what kind of Unix viruses and hacks will be exploited for OS X. Maybe the comfort level that users of OS 9 and earlier are used to will diminish somewhat. Although, what's the fun in pickin…

Since Delorme is a local company, I can only add that they (like many tech-oriented companies)seem to have been in normal business/financial straits for awhile. They may be scaling back lots of their products' future development. Aquatik, at leas…
