Did anyone else notice the distinction Steve drew between "applications" and "widgets" on the iPhone? The progam for viewing photos is an application whereas the weather/stock programs were widgets. I haven't heard/read any explanation for the dif…

Quote: Originally posted by Mr. Me There were no office suites in the early 1980's. That was a marketing invention about 10 years later. That may be true (I was only born in 1980), but I don't think it's germane to the discussion of MS opening…

I know that, thus far, exchanging Office files between various verions/platforms has not worked as advertised. But also MS has been the only company developing the standard. It seems that there are lots of companies that are collaborating on this …

Quote: Originally posted by Gon The so-called open format contains proprietary binary blocks for things like styling, so if anyone tries to build full compatibility without Microsoft approval, they will drop a copyright/patent/whatever lawsuit on…

Quote: Originally posted by Karl Kuehn I have not seen anything about the open/import dialogs being Spotlight enabled, but that could be a route in. I hadn't thought about dialogs, but that makes a lot of sense.

Okay - so that would be a variation on the smart folders functionality that Spotlight allows. I can see that being helpful as a workflow tool, but not really a benefit for word processing or number crunching. As a programming consideration…

Kasper, On the iCal screen shot it looks like the show info button on the lower right is pressed, but the drawer isn't showing. Is that because the info is in the detached panel, or has it been integrated somehow into the main window? Can you…

According to MacMinute, VPC7 will indeed support the G5, and feature -ahem- performance improvements. I wonder what kind of performance improvements we'll see in G4sville?

Has anyone heard about the upgrade path of Virtual PC 7? Do you think it'll be available for those of us who never upgraded to 6.0, or will we have to buy the full version?

I have lived in Brazil for a while, and the name of the soda is called Guarana. It's made from a small fruit that grows in places like the Amazon. The kind in the green bottle is a brand name called Antartica. It's generally accepted in Brazil …

I'm just scanning prints, mostly of the 4" x 6" variety, some others are 3" x 5" with the occasional 8" x 10" thrown in for good measure. The ISO rating varies - many of the pictures were taken before I was even born, so I don't know if they were 1…

Quote: p.s. the G5 should be in the ucla bookstore sometime this week (if it's not already by now) I've been checking Ackerman since last week. I'm disappointed to see that SC got theirs before us.

Are you comfortable with basic double-entry accounting? If so, I would highly recommend Nano Accounts. I've had it since I got my computer, and I love it. It's cheap, free upgrades, and to my mind has lots of features. It's main drawback is a …

I really appreciate all the help, guys. This has been my first real use of Excel, and it's been quite a learning experience. I would like to take the time to really learn it and understand its features. It seems like quite a program, Microsoft no…

Yeah, Gargoyle, that's what I ended up having to do. Thanks a lot for the input. Andrew

Well, I've been doing some looking, and I found this. The problem is, I can't get it to work. I thought I followed the directions, saving the file with the resource fork and all that, but the finder preview still doesn't resize. I thought perh…
