  • The only way I can get Safari 3 to load a new site is to click on a link on a page, in the Bookmarks bar or in the Bookmarks menu. Safari 3 does nothing when I type in an address and click return.
  • Easy to do. In Safari Preferences under General, select New windows open with... Same Page.

  • Thanks for the two responses. I'm on a cable modem, and yes I do keep a local copy. I read a few threads in Apple's discussion forums about this same issue happening to others sometimes, so it's not an isolated thing. Apparently it's an issue Apple …
  • Mine (40 GB) does the same sometimes, just in the left ear. But I've found that if you take it out of your ear and blow into it that usually fixes the distortion problem. YMMV, but that tip might save you from having to get the earbuds replaced.
  • Oh, I didn't mean that you were the type to pick apart movies as you watch them. I just know there are people out there who do do that, and I wonder if those are some of the same people who didn't like The Village. That's a pretty fair review. I'…
  • What were you expecting? CGI monsters with scales and fangs and guck dripping out of their mouths? When I saw the creature for the first time (from above, looking down through the trap door in the watchtower) I realized immediately that it was someo…
  • (Edited) Never mind, I was Googling for "eastern religious symbols" + chair. I figured it would be Hindu, MNS being from India, but it's Buddhist.
  • What was the significance of all of the lingering camera shots of chairs? My first thought was that it was just an artistic thing MNS was going for like his cameo appearance. Then I thought maybe we're supposed to notice that there's no one in the c…
  • On a related note, I took advantage of a Papa John's pizza offer recently and got a 4-pack of Cokes with my two large pizzas. The Cokes came with a code for four free downloads from Musicmatch. There's no Mac version, so the code is useless to me (a…
  • Command-E also unmounts disk images. It's a universal key command good for getting rid of disk images, properly disconnecting FireWire drives and ejecting audio CDs, CD-ROMs and DVDs. And it's faster than control-clicking on the icon and then select…
  • Will do. That sounds interesting. I've been told The Rule of Four is excellent, too. I'm due for a new book soon, so if I don't pick up that one, I'll try the Robert Anson Wilson. And I worry about the summer reading thing. The da Vinci Code is t…
  • What does everyone think of the idea of a school putting the book on its required summer reading list for rising high school seniors? My younger sister has to read it this summer, and I'm amazed. I think putting a suspense novel, techno-thriller or …
  • Who is this da Vinci person everyone keeps mentioning? His name was Leonardo, and he lived in Vinci. Dan Brown actually refers to the artist by both names in the book, as if he can't decide. Sloppy editing aside, I enjoyed the novel. It's even go…
  • This probably doesn't deserve a thread of its own since it's related to the new G5s, but has anyone noticed what's wrong with this picture? Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm pretty sure the 1.8 GHz model shouldn't have been tested twice.

  • I was amused by how lots of cars in the Manhattan traffic scenes started zooming away pretty obviously before the wall of water got there. I tried not to look for little things like that and just sit back and have a good time for two hours, but I wa…
  • You expected better from Fox? There's your mistake right there. I saw the movie this weekend too. It was entertaining, but I have to agree about the lack of development. None of Jake G's friends had parents somewhere in the U.S. who might want to…
  • 10.3.4. There are lots of people with my problem, apparently. I checked the discussions in the support section of Apple's web site. This is frustrating... the thing keeps freezing on "Do not Disconnect" and iTunes usually hangs on startup. (E…

  • Donald Fagen and Walter Becker are so anal about getting their music to sound perfect in the studio, so Steely Dan records always sound amazing through headphones.
