    in Mac mini uses besides your average desktop computer? Comment by beigeuser January 2005
  • Is there native support for any dual-layer DVD burners? I know that there is patchburn and toast but I've been waiting for Apple support before I buy any of those drives.

    in new iLife at MWSF? Comment by beigeuser December 2004
  • I have to disagree. Although I would want to see a new iLife (with DL burning support etc.), I don't think it's going to happen. iLife has always followed OS X updates. It's another way for Apple to squeeze a few extra dollars from it's customers…

  • Just to be clear, you were listening to music on your hard drive through iTunes while copying a file from the DVD-drive and the music was skipping right?

  • I have a recent model Epson at home (PM-970, Japan-only model) and a Canon 9100 at work. Both are about 1-2 years old. The Epson drivers are messy and confusing. Some features don't seem to work properly. On the other hand, the Canon drivers can …

  • I think Moore's law states that the number of transistors per square inch double every year, not computing power. So this article is based on a incorrect premise.

  • The airport express is on sale for $98. Hmm. Should I buy?
    in Online Apple Store Sale(Today only) Comment by beigeuser November 2004
  • Here's my formula: If you need it now. Buy it now. Otherwise... Forget MWSF. Forget Trade shows. Forget all Tuesdays. Keep waiting indefinitely until a new model comes out. Wait 1-2 months after new model hit shelves. If there aren't any serious…
    in Safe to buy Powerbook G4 at Christmas, or wait? Comment by beigeuser November 2004
  • If you're referring to the OEM card that's BTO for G5s, then the answer is no. It uses a different type of AGP slot. If you are referring to PC cards, the answer is still no. The firmware doesn't work. Other World Computing used to have modifi…

  • Earlier this year, I accidentally erased an important folder. I spent $89.00 to get data rescue, http://www.prosofteng.com/products/d...4a839fad658f4. This software was expensive but it recovered everything except two files. Presumably, I must ha…

  • You guys are impossible to please. The Apple socks are the BMW of socks. If you don't like them you should go buy the blue socks of death.

  • Are these socks CoreImage compatible?

  • I discovered that it has a lot to do with the drive in your computer. My PM G4 with a Toshiba 1312 (Combo drive) frequently has trouble reading Copy Protected Discs. The PMG4 at my workplace has a Sony CRX-140 (CD-RW drive) which reads most discs bu…

  • I haven't spent a whole lot of time looking at the spec sheets but I don't think that the iPod Photo keeps a copy of the original photo on it's hard drive. From what I gathered, it copies a thumbnail of the digital photo. The small iPod screen an…

  • Apple could do a microscopic eMac speed bump to 1.33GHz. But I do hope that Apple boosts it to a 1.5GHz G4 or even a 1.6GHz G5. Personally I don't think Apple should cripple it's consumer models just because the pro models are underperforming. Ma…

  • Boy, I hope it's your hard drive. I also own a MDD PMG4. During the past year, I heard crackling sounds from it twice. The second time was my 4-year old hard drive failing. So, no problem. But the first incident was the real problem. It happen…
