  • Is it just me, or does that look like more like the camera shutter used in iPhoto and iTunes to protect the burn button?
  • A recently popularised technique is to put a computer track on the cd, which has an autorun installer on it. The autorun installs a custom player and gets in the way of using the cd with normal software. Not installing bypasses this problem.
  • Quote: Originally posted by kiwi-in-dc Good point except that the ports on an iBook are a whole lot more designed for multiple insertions that the multi-pin connectors on a dock - I've had several in the past, and they last about the same time - …
  • I think the solution is a double jointed hinge. When you open the 'book the screen can stop half way, or it can keep going, do a full 360, and find itself attached to the bottom of the 'book, screen facing out. The keyboard and touchpad would be…
  • Different people have different reasons for wanting a dock. I dont want a dock to get extra ports, but to relieve the effort of plugging in 8 cables to my iBook. Not only is ia a PITA, but ports have a limited life, and plugging in multiple times ev…
  • The Sims is the best selling _PC_ game, so not much use there. Ive found a top twenty list, its from last year, but I dont think it will have changed too much, "Super Mario Bros." for NES: 40 Million Units "Tetris" for Gameboy: 33 Million Units …
  • Jumping back a bit, OS X certainly has some issues with its hide and minimise behaviour. Apparently one of the rules for hiding is that you cannot hide all of the running applications. But, for consistency, you can hide the finder. When you hid…
  • a) the 20" has plenty of extra space for cooling a hotter chip. b) graphics chips need to be matched to the performance of the cpu, put a fast gpu in a slow computer and it wont do much, as the cpu cant feed it enough information to make a differ…
  • To me, tabs play a role in grouping information together. The natural progression for tabs is for them to exist in the window manager, as a way of grouping windows together. I havent worked out the exact UI yet, but something like drag a window …
  • Quote: Originally posted by PB Hmm, I just read in the other thread philby's post about the german magazine c't. They measured a temperature of 48 C in the upper left corner of the new iMac, while TFTs are designed to operate in no more than 40 C…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Lemon Bon Bon My one criticism of the iMac G5 aesthetic. There's no glass in front of the LCD. It's bare plastic. Scratch. Scratch...blemish. Grrrrrrrr. Thats just like complaining that the AR coating on CRT…

  • I bought mine from a local mac shop. They are buying them as service parts. Was $125, which considering shipping, warranty, convenience, seems pretty fair compared to $100 on ebay.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Socrates Personally I'd like Apple to concentrate on making Macs as good and as cheap as they can without compromising on the qualities that make me want to buy Apple and not Intel. I agree. Im going to keep buying…
  • Quote: Originally posted by versu Sounds similar to FX!32...running at 533MHz at the time that Intel could do no better than Pentium Pros at 200MHz. FX!32 worked very well, often running code faster than you could run it on a PC ( thanks to th…
