  • Also, if memory serves me right, you have to be running Panther to play a Pixlet movie. It is not OS or platform independent. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

  • One thing that hasn't been mentioned anywhere yet as far as I can tell is the fact that iPhoto and iMovie are both now REAL metal apps. They do not use custom metal themes. Thanks god! So now those who use skins, can actually see the skins in i…

  • I noticed the same noise when I enabled Highest for the processor performance. Although this is now considered "normal" I would like to be able to run my laptop at full speed without any sounds coming from it. Hopefully this is something that …

  • Quote: Originally posted by alcimedes man, is it just me or did they lower their prices a lot? $2 per 4x disc? that's a great deal. Apple just dropped the prices on all their DVD media. They cut the prices by half on them all.

  • I think they look really nice. I already had a few friends wanting one. I think they will do pretty well. On some other forums people brought up the fact that the iPod minis are too close in price point to the "full" size iPods, but to an ext…

  • I am not a typical flamer but here is my flame. IT"S A F***ING STEAL! I don't use iMovie(I use FCP) or iDVD(I use DVDSP) but I will sure as hell use GarageBand. That alone is worth $49. If they sold that as a standalone for $49, I am sure ther…

  • Like others have said, I think now Apple is in a comfortable spot. They are getting a lot of good press, great product line for the most part, a great hold on the internet music scene, and a whole other set of things going on. They are now settl…

  • I was going to the Keynote but I had to stay in LA. I will probably watch it comfortably in bed, or MAYBE go the Apple Store at the Grove. We'll see.

  • Look here is the deal...all the Mac heads that were at Newtek are not there anymore, they're are at Luxology. The next major release of LightWave...version 8, is mostly plugin based. There are no major core changes in the product. You can tell …
