  • It does bring up a good point. Though. The usage of metadata was to give users an easier time with handling files. As of right now, OSX tries it's best(the windows way with some mac) What John proposes feels like more power version of PC ex…
  • [quote] I just have to ask: have you completely read Siracusa's articles and proposal to Apple? If not, I really don't think you should be making comments about them. I'd like to know your stance on this issue, not on whether on not Apple made t…
  • [quote] I don't see any support for that assertion. Have you been participating in the discussions on the various developer mailing lists on this topic? quote: Apple seems to have rewrote it because of the developer input. Were you a…
  • What's with the praises? At this point the only reason Siracusa idea is petitioning is BECAUSE he's of the minority in opinion. Apple seems to have rewrote it because of the developer input. While this may still be a good way, developers o…
  • TheRoadWarrior, I never said WPA was just for anti-piracy, though there obviously is something there. Microsoft always uses multi-prong attacks. Anti-priacy is only just one of them. While everyone knows the basic underlining there is many lay…
  • [quote] Actually, WPA is all about turning off Windows at a given point in time. If Microsoft really cared about piracy, they'd use the same system that Half-Life uses. That has been IMPOSSIBLE to crack because in order to play online, you have …
  • Well microsoft being microsoft, WPA is like stating the obvious. M$ business tactics are world famous at this point, so denying it is pointless. How exactly WPA is going to be incorporated is still sketchy at this point simply like all Microsoft …
  • Umm windows combatbilty has a much easier time then mac. Classic and carbon must require a recode, while windows only means a few missing supports. Think about that. For me WinXP lost big time. Lack of support and all that "window certified driv…
  • it will depend on what you use newsgroups for. Image inline viewing? Discussion like posting? Batch downloading? search engine? Mass Spamming? heh For my needs, Thoth is great for batching downloading, and quick searching. MT-ne…
  • King Chung Huang, on the video "Calgary: A Moving Postcard"... since the video is 2:28 minutes, and the file is about 25megs so I'll just put 6 seconds per meg. And by measuring from my memory of divx video's I've watch over the years, your video I'…
  • Simple arugement. Bigger the size, the more work the CPU has to do. The biggest I've seen(or remember) of quality is tenchi GXP, which comes around 240megs on a 22minutes or so...you can do the math. My G4 had a angonizing time playing it. My 1.2…
  • Don't, I repeat DON't do with Xidus recomends. He is completely wrong. avi to mov is basically to fix the mp3 bug. I don't need to say anymore since anyone who watched more then 3 divx movies on a mac would know this. Deleting the orginal .…
  • Apple doesn't have to do anything about divx. After all Divx has very little comercial value. Everything should be 3rd party in the contribution sense. That isn't to say they shouldn't support it, espcially with the mp3 bug. Divx IS crap. To this…
  • There are ways to lower cpu usage for mp3s, but it's more smoke and mirrors. iTune on portables(as well as soundjam among others in classic) can off load to memory and lessen cpu usage. Though this is really marginal on average as the initial …
  • Maya definitely has problems but then Maya can do some stuff way easier then others if you're into that stuff. Which people on the mac might want to do more then other groups. As with the keynote so long ago, you can use Maya with conjunction wit…
  • Eww indiscriminate quotes just gives a bad taste in my mouth. While there is something there for 3D compared to PCs, the new line up by far doesn't "SUCK" Everything matters. the second chip matters, the programming matters, the video card and…
  • For all those who know less then the basics. Here's a simple way to tell if you'll get substantial performance boast. Go into OSX, terminal. type 'top' look at the first line, and looke at your thread number and ask yourself, how does that …
  • The three things people upgrade is 1: memory and a distant 2: HD 3:graphics card memory isn't an issue. The Geforce2MX is AGP, so it's probably upgradable. HD unless is unstandard is upgradable though how easy might be debatable from the T…
  • It call consumer electronics. The lowering of geekiness factor and the expansion of mass. The ideal that a computer is a component of parts is shrinking into a singalar digital device. Combine that with the very short lifespan of a computer…
  • It's not price/cpu ratio!! It's price/options ratio. We living in a world where cpu is nothing but a piece of expensive silicon in itself and clock speed is how fast you can flip switches. It will all depend on apple's market people satistics.…
