  • I also think this is a totally boneheaded move on NBC's part. They should look to CBS as a model of "video everywhere." CBS has taken the position that they'll distribute their video content basicaly anywhere it can be played, whether it's on their …
    in Briefly: Office 2008 info; 'House' to be pulled from iTunes; more Comment by reid October 2007
  • How would this be for cool: a 30th anniversary black iMac, with a 30" screen and built-in TV tuner. The ultimate living room Mac, for only $3,000. Upgrade to 40" for $4,000.

  • Okay, here's a quick and dirty mockup of what I was trying to say... emphasis on the dirty.

  • Well, I'm running less of a load now and things are definitely cooler. CPU Temp: 53.0 GPU Ambient: 49.5 GPU Temp: 77.0 HD Temp: 49.5 etc... I also added a gig of RAM, and damned if everything doesn't seem faster to me. I can't find anywhe…

  • Would have posted sooner, but I was out of town for the weekend. The machine's been up and running pretty much constantly for the last 4 days. Mostly ripping DVDs and running BitTorrent; trying to build a video library. For the most part it's pleasa…

  • Well, I got tired of waiting for an update on my order from Amazon, so I canceled it and went to the Apple Store yesterday. They had 17" but not 20" in stock; I wanted the smaller one anyway. Here are the obligatory unpacking photos. Not much …
    in Anyone received new iMac yet? Comment by reid October 2005
  • Well, having tried it myself now (without a remote), I can definitely say this is a cool thing. And I think it's a crime that Apple's limiting it to the iMac. They should just bundle it on a CD, along with a small IR/USB converter, in the box with t…
    in Front Row on Macmini Comment by reid October 2005
  • I just wish they'd offer the 12" model with a SuperDrive. I don't want the added bulk of the 14" model, and $700 more for the 12" PB is a helluva price increase just to be able to burn DVDs.
    in iBook Upgrades Comment by reid October 2005
  • I had a Sony-Ericsson T610 for a couple of years. While I greatly preferred the UI and even (slightly) the form factor to the phone that replaced it (RAZR, what else?), the actual call quality is so much better it's not even funny. The Sony was alwa…
    in Why wasn't this the iTunes phone?... Comment by reid October 2005
  • Certainly there are a lot of people out there who still use dial-up internet access. Current Nielsen estimates indicate that about 60% of active home internet users have a broadband connection. That number is projected to reach 70% by January of nex…
    in Apple introduces iMac with built-in iSight Comment by reid October 2005
  • Any idea whether video files have to be in the iTunes library to be viewed with Front Row? For example, would one have to add all of their iMovies to iTunes, or will it just find all the QuickTime playable movies in your ~/Movies/ folder automatical…

  • Quote: Originally posted by G_Warren Anyone seen http://www.colorwarepc.com/? Looks kind of cool, except for the keyboard... I wonder if they paint behind the clear acrylic on the front of it, or just on top of it.
    in Would you buy a black imac? Comment by reid October 2005
  • Nobody's talking about the pink Madonna Special Edition iPod nano? Sounds like a simple answer to the "One more thing..." question to me. A month ago they shocked everyone with this amazing new device, and here's one more version of it. I'm still…
