Everyone hating on the MightyMouse needs to go wash their hands every once in a while. I've been using it for well over a year and it hasn't skipped a beat. My only issues with it are A. the scrolling action works terribly under Windows (but the Mac…

Quote: He would then sell the ones sent from Apple for $49, something he reportedly did more than 9,000 times in 2006 and 2007. IT'S OVER 9,000 I am feeling particularly 14-years-old today. Just be glad I didn't do a large ASCII-art style…

I too am surprised that Nvidia is releasing the 4800 but not the 5800. Perhaps there is some business sense behind it, or perhaps the comment that more is to come is an indication that they're working on it. But still. $1800? That's an Apple tax …

Brace for the people who argued back and forth when Psystar openly challenged Apple's right to bind its software to its hardware. Think game consoles. You can't legally run Halo 3 on a PS3. You can't legally run Mac OS X on a PC. It's simple. If t…

There is a VERY good reason why they don't make regular USB-A to USB-A cables (though Linksys did use them for their Wi-Fi adapters about 7-10 years ago). Connecting one computer directly to another computer through their USB ports would fry both t…

@ Mr. H: You still have to unscrew the entire top panel to get inside; the old iBook the keyboard was easily removable. My school had a cart of the first-gen iBooks and kids would hide stuff in them, like a note that said "There's $20 in #23". Wh…

So, a few things I'm hearing after reading this thread that stuck out in particular: 1. Someone commented that Apple needs to return to a tray-drive because slot-drives can't do mini-DVD's. Well, the Nintendo Wii handles half-size disks just fine…

Apple website says the MacBook EFI firmware update requires 10.5.2 or later; I'm pretty sure the others say that now, too. Looks like Apple corrected their typo; the update itself says I need Leapord, but I'm still using Tiger. It's sad that Apple …

Aluminum has quite a bit going for it: 1. easily recyclable 2. easy to work with in the manufacturing process 3. You can barely tell when raw aluminum is scratched. 4. Aluminum is more durable than plastic at lesser thicknesses. 5. Aluminum dis…

The Penryn upgrade wil primarily bring the advantages of a smaller chip to the laptop, i.e. less heat and less energy usage. Speed increases could be anywhere from a little (current speeds) to alot (4GHz!)

I believe that the matte black color for the MB uses a seperate process, as gloss is easer to make thn an ultra-fine matte finish. This has been floating around my mind for a day or two now: Since Santa Rosa supports Penyn already, could you jus…

Sneaky sneaky shoving it under the wire like that. Right under our noses.

Quote: It stacks up pretty well against this dell box. The dell has an inferior AMD processor but most would think it's more powerful because it's a tower. It doesn't even compare to the dell box. With Vista Ultimate, a 2GHz AMD Athalon X2 (whic…

Quote: I wonder what a smaller version of the Mac Pro would look like... (hint... hint... could some one make one??) It's already been done in physical form as a modded G4 cube. This was submitted by killerapp, taken from a "dead" blog:
