Any idiot with a Quicktime Pro license can take a DRM-less purchase, crop it down to a ringtone, export the audio to WAV, then use iTunes to convert the WAV to AAC, and then simply rename the file to an M4R file. Takes like 3 minutes unless you are…

I'm springing for the $49 Family Pack. We only have two Intel-based Macs in the house. I know I could just get the $29 Single and install it on both machines. But $49 is a reasonable compromise versus the $129/$199 of previous OS X upgrades. …

Marketing a feature and then not delivering is false advertisement. But how long did it take for Push to get implemented? 1 year? So Summer ends in late September. Let's see if MMS rolls out. If not, oh well, I'll still use their stupid "vi…

I just want to know if I have to have Leopard installed in order to install Snow Leopard. I tend to like to zero my drive and start from scratch with a new OS. While I own a copy of Leopard, it would be a colossal pain to have to zero, install Leo…

For added peace of mind, download the Combo Updater from Apple's site and use that to update your system, instead of the delta that downloads from the Software Update application.

If your display has only VGA as its video input/output interface, it is out of date. I'm sorry. DVI is far superior. If its an HDTV with only a VGA port "for computers" forget about it. Simply pick up an HDMI-to-DVI adaptor to connect your…

February Desktop sales are down? Really? File that one under "DUH!" When the entire line of notebooks got refreshed last fall/Jan, anyone looking for a desktop who valued their money was waiting for a desktop refresh. When that refresh happene…

Hells yeah. I just ordered the model with the 320GB hard disk and only upgraded the RAM to 4GB. I've been waiting since MacWorld in January to pull the trigger on this purchase. Looks like my Late 2004 Single1.8 GHz G5 Tower's days are numbered…

I've been a Depeche Mode fan for years, but I will not be buying a "pass". I tend to hate remix tracks and prefer to stick to the studio albums and pick up the B-sides. So, I'll be doing what I did when Playing The Angel came out... picking up t…

When you're really sick and taking a sick day, you should spend it recovering, not in front of a computer. When you call off for 6-months, you spend a good initial time making sure people are up to speed on business matters and then let off to re…

Regarding the firewire port, remember that there are plenty of people out there using Mac Minis as servers, often chaining a bunch of them together via FireWire to serve as a cluster, just like people have done with PowerMacs and Mac Pros.

Perhaps Apple has a multi-touch netbook, complete with a touch screen and support for Amazon Kindle eBooks and AT&T cellular access and is just waiting for the right time to swoop in for the kill.

File Transfer: Use FireWire target disk mode to boot the G4. Connect it to the Intel Mac. The Intel Mac will see it as a FireWire hard disk. Drag and drop. Account Change: MAKE SURE YOUR DATA is all transferred off the G4. DOUBLE CHECK. Go…

If you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch, you can use Apple's free "Remote" application to control the iTunes library on a computer (PC/Mac). Both the iPhone/Touch and the computer have to be on the same network. This will allow you to watch your …

I cringe each time Apple says they've reduced the size/volume of their packaging. Computers need protection, or anything else that has a hard disk drive, for that matter. When you see UPS and FedEx drivers chucking your packages around their tru…
