  • Don't forget that Wikipedia is user-contributed and edited and isn't always accurate. Make sure you source some additional references and check your facts. Apple History has some tech details on early Mac models, and folks here can recommend l…
  • Overlap how? Like Code: . ^ ^ . / ^ \\ . /A /\\ B\\ or like ???
  • "Saturn" 0 results... as threads, as posts, inside threads, or titles only... all permutations give no result. I started the Exploration thread in AO (and a Mars thread - which only shows 4 unrelated results from PO??). Neither (multi-page…
  • I don't think deletions in playlists directly replicate into the main library. This is a design choice to allow conditional playlists that can be tweaked without destroying the 'original' data. You can choose to show the star rating column within…

  • Fetch Art and iTunes Cool both offer to grab album art from the web... usually Amazon. iTunes Cool will also get liner notes and lyrics. Neither are successful with 100% of songs in my library (and sometimes grab the 'wrong album' if the track…

  • Mostly unnecessary. http://www.clamxav.com/ is a free virus scanner for OS X (mainly to clean attachments forwarded from windows friends to other windows friends, so you can't be accused of spreading problems...) there are no known viruses for OS…
  • Time-shifting programming (recording for viewing at an alternate time) is generally considered acceptable usage of VCR technology. IIRC, this is the standard that Sony agreed to for early VCR/copyright lawsuits. Some stories have come out recentl…
  • Last part first... Yes, during the 'Music' series in the 'switch' era of mid 2003, there was a young kid covering an Eminem track and a cover of Sir Mix-a-lot... both of which were subsequently pulled from Apple's site. And Yes... IIRC, "Mr. S…
  • I would suspect the figures are actually underreporting Safari usage. Many Safari users have the debug menu installed and are setting User Agent to IE Win/Firefox/etc. in order to obtain full functionality at non-standard sites. The actual Saf…
  • Code: url to your picture goes here or you could use: Code: url to thumbnail sized image where < > are [ ] either way should work, but as noted, you'll need a place to park them online...
