You can keep the current solution and use Apache settings and some CSS to pretty up the display and make it slightly more functional. I've seen an article before that used Apple's icons and stuff to give it a Mac OS X theme. Googling... Still Goo…

Minor clarification. You said 480p 'sucks'. DVDs are 480i or 576i. 480p > 480i clearly 480p > 576i is perhaps more of a judgement call but assuming a factor of 1.6 (taken from Wikipedia) then 576i = 360p Also, 480p does not imply 3:4…

]Nevermind OpenOffice, OpenDocument Format is the real Office-killer, and it looks like it'll be baked right into Leopard. That's a major kick in the stones for Microsoft, and a bit of a reversal after Apple and Microsoft teamed up to promote MSFT's…

(disclaimer: I store all my music as lossless, previously FLAC now Apple Lossless, but put most audiophiles in the same 'deluded fool' category as those that believe in homeopathic medicine or astrology) Apple created their lossless codec for 3 r…
