not exactly the same. But easies way would be to select network drive, then make an alias of it. Save the pasword checked. And it's 1 click mountable. Which is acutally technically better then mapping network drives for consumer use. Mac…

To my knowledge Sapphire is the only one who has an HDMI gfx card...and one model. Asus has a prototype ready sometime soonish. But that's a far cry from "resent". You're looking at another year if any. Traditionally apple never releases…

It's not Apple's decision. It's the GPU makers. Since HDMI has audio, the GFX card has to be able to pass that to the computer... Other then that it's like a DVI.

When they become cheap enough. I'm guessing right now it floats around $400 per drive (The controller chip and others do not need to be there) And much more for one that can write. If Sony can push the PS3 and HD-DVD can sell more, the comp…

Yea that's a start. And who didn't think of a self aware laser. But That's a long way from having one that doesn't move. It can't write for one thing, and another the article doesn't mention it's low speeds and power requirements, making it co…

It sounds good till you know what the difference between BD and HD-DVD are. The chip is the least of there problems(price wise). Heck you can throw a Cell or a Core duo in there, though extremely cost ineffective. There's really very little…

To be neutural, Sony I believe did(still does?) have the sole software to master a Blu-ray disc. This does not mean they'll withhold it to anyone wanting to buy it though. It used to be quite expensive, but then like everything BR was expensive …

Umm Sony doesn't own blu-ray. That's FUD#4 on some list right next to Blu-ray isn't a Sony proprietary format. There's nothing stopping Adult media on BR, and from indication, they will be...yes...HD porn...man's strive to get a more realistic ex…

There's a lot of really weird 360 fanboyism here. And I'm not sure how much is anti-sony or just 360=all... The PS3 is not having negitive press very often. It really depends where you read. Most bad press are really bad journalism of the mode…

No. Tiger install 10.4.x retail will only work until 3 generation G5s. They will not work on 4th generation G5s or intel. Nor the other way around. They won't be synced up till 10.5 Besides which, they lock it to your computer model, bec…

Self assign is the computer acting as a server like, and gives itself an IP address as a "name". (Most modern OSs will do this). This means that there is a network connection but no DHCP server, and usually given the 169.168.x.x . It is useful if…

Not seemlessly, no. It works fairly well, but there will be unexplainable errors and whatnot. Some are Apple's fault, other's are window's fault, some we don't why. One thing I've seen is an Indesign bug, which would not properly open files…
