  • It will work just fine with the said adapter cable Actually.. Mini-DVI to DVI: $3.45! http://www.amazon.com/Mini-DVI-DVI-D...1112887&sr=1-1 or HDMI: $12... http://www.amazon.com/Mini-hdmi-Vide.../dp/B001ODNBDK or even Apple-mad…
  • Even if they were, how would they go about licensing all the patents, making the UI acceptable, AND selling the product at a decent price? Anyone that works with Photoshop on a daily basis, knows by heart where everything is. Any slight change wi…
  • The puck mouse is back from the dead! Seriously, how would you know if you are holding it the right way? Or with the microphone to your ear? And if it changes screen orientation while browsing (like the iPhone), we'll never know Heh h…
  • Oh, and regarding brand-matching, don't worry about it. Just make sure that the specs match, and as i've said above, if you installed RAM is slower, it's best to just take it out and put in a whole set of that which is faster. You can always put …
  • On most motherboards, every stick of memory will only be as fast as the slowest one! So keep that in mind when you will upgrade in the future... If compatible RAM you are buying is faster, it's best to remove the slower original RAM and compe…
  • Depends on how often you upgrade. Five years from now, 8Gb should still be quite a bit, so your iMac should give you ~7 years of good use, if it doesn't die before that or get fried by lightning (a friend had that happen to his iBook) If you buy …

  • Depends on your requirements.... It really depends on what you use them for. If you travel, the 2nd setup may be better. If you use Macs mainly for entertainment, the the 1st. But i'm being too obvious here. You know better what fits your need…

  • First of all, thanks everybody for you thoughtful replies And it's nice to be back Quote: Originally Posted by SpotOn Uh, your machine is like 7 years old. 1200/7 = $172 a year You didn't have to pay for anti-virus, you likely bou…
  • If there was no iPod touch, it would have been compared to "full featured" Windows tablets, and slammed for its inability to run apps concurently (seems like what it does is hibernates the other open app that is not in use), and lack of Flash, and l…
  • I think lack of copy and paste is a major fail. It's MinMobile after all I seriously don't know what they are thinking... The iPhone appeared out of nowhere, at a time when it didn't really have any equal competition. IMHO, it was a brilliant…

  • BacktoMac, I really agree with you on that point. But, I remember the purge/bust-up that happened sometime in mid to late '05. I used to lurk here on a daily basis but left at that point as the place became somewhat boring. I think a lot of the p…
  • How about a fourth option? Not now, not today or even this year, but a YouTube-style "vote the comment down to hide" would probably benefit the discussion. +3, -18...etc, etc.. An IP address could be limited to just one vote per post. Any subs…

  • If i'll have time, i'll actually find an ex-Googler's rant, if you guys would like. The guy left to join Microsoft. Anyway, one of the things he hated most at Google, was that he didn't get to have his own workstation, and was constantly shuffled…
