Ever since I got my new Mac Pro my LG LCD stopped displaying it's normal resolutions. I found out it's because 10.5.6 broke the DDC-CI support for monitors that require it so my LG isn't talking to my GT120. I've been told 10.5.7 should fix this.. p…

Spoke to Apple rep and apparently the GT 120 is crippled when it comes to HDMI support with an adapter. He didn't have any word on whether or not the 4870 works but it looks like I need to buy more equipment to get something that worked fine two wee…

As long as Comcast keeps crippling our bandwidth (they upgraded my area and for 2 days I got 31Mb/s then they dropped me down to 12Mb/s) there is no way you can attain Blu-ray quality over cable. Comcast HD on demand is 2.1 and highly compressed gar…

To sum it up, Apple makes bold claims about Microsoft not working and portrays all PC users as fat guys with a bad 80's suit, Microsoft makes bold claims about Apple's pricing as being insane and only rich white people can afford them, fanbois pour …

Most of this silly XP downgrade is due to corporations (Microsoft's biggest clients) that are too cheap to upgrade, even after 7 years. I worked for a company that made millions year after year, was based on information distribution and was 90% w…

Say what you want but try and get your parents/grandparents (or most non-tech savvy) 50+ year old customers to buy an apple when they can walk into a best buy and get one for 1/2 the price? (I stress NON TECH SAVVY Baby boomers I don't hate you!) …

I agree. People don't realize the only iMac worth getting is at least the $1,799 model with the dedicated video card in it, the 9400 is a joke. Plus the previous models all used 4GB of ram, these can only use 3.75 because the 9400 eats up to 256MB o…

Wow finally Apple customers who are a little put off by the current lineup/pricing situation?! I'm not alone! I will admit the only reason I bought my 20in iMac for graphic design work was due to three things: 1. I wanted to use my 24in PVA ma…
