I can give you one really good reason for a case redesign. To make it rack mountable in a reasonable space. Apple no longer offers a product that can act as an MDC for Xsan out of the box that any legitimate administrator is going to put in a se…

Hmm, 30% doesn't sound so bad to me... Coming from the newspaper business I can think of the following expenses that are offset with the iPad. Printing Postage Packaging Retail markup We don't really make money on subscriptions, we make…

Quote: That said, you shouldn't need an adapter to use this product with something else. You have to agree with me there. I was endlessly annoyed when I bought my 1st gen iPhone and couldn't use anything with it because the earphone jack was sun…

Don't get too excited about this. While it is probably a great idea for Microsoft, and if done properly it could make life easier for everyone remember Microsoft's history. When they decide to "incorporate" something, they start with a shared plat…

If you know your way around the terminal I'd navigate to your desktop in terminal and then look for any files that look "unusual". I've seen somewhat similar behavior from the Finder if there is a corrupt file on the desktop, generally if this is h…

If you need a laptop now then buy one now. If you don't need one yet then wait! Same thing for the phone. They are just like anything else electronic, the longer you can wait the better it is going to be and the more you are going to get for th…

We'd really need a lot more info (what OS exactly is each machine running, what kind of VPN, etc.) but here is a general overview of what I would try first. Should be pretty easy and I don't think I'd mess around with VNC or Timbuktu unless you hav…

As far as number 1... This is a big different between Windows and Mac. On a Mac you open an Application and that application has multiple windows. When you click the button you are telling the computer I'm done with this window, not I'm done wi…

At a small office I help out in we simply took one of their G4's, upgraded them to a new machine to use as a workstation and then started putting new parts in the G4. We replaced the original drive, added another and then mirrored them together for…

You don't even need to offer money. Give the sales people a MacBook to keep (so they can play with and and learn about the machine) or offer iPods as a reward for good sales. Example, every 25 Macs sold you get your choice of a 4 Gig Nano. "Oh,…

I just bought an external hard drive and use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy the whole thing every month or so. That way if my laptop is stolen or has a problem I can boot any Intel based Mac off the hard drive and have all my settings, files, applicati…

Try reversing the process... Boot the iMac into Target Disk mode. Put the PowerBook restore CD into the iMac. Then boot the PowerBook with it connected to the iMac, hold down the option key. If everything works the PowerBook will ask what to…

One simple hint. There is a bug in Disk Utility, there are a couple of ways around it. First (what we've been doing) is to simply keep trying. After about the third try it will unmount the disk and go. The second option is to select the disk a…

The PowerPC version of the Discs are like this too. There are hidden folders on the second disc. On the 2nd disc is where the installers for iLife, iWork and other programs. They are in a hidden folder.

Well, this is officially getting rather ridiculous! My buying pattern (personal machines). Powerbook G3 "Wallstreet" 250 MHz G3 - introduced 10/1/98 Powerbook G3 "Pismo" 500 MHz G3 - introduced 2/15/00 Powerbook G4 15" 1 GHz G4 - Introduced …
