  • Two words...Nitrous Oxide! Get it if you can, makes the experience much easier. I had mine pulled a couple years ago, and after the doctor yanked one out she dropped it and it clattered away across the floor. I started laughing at that, just seem…

  • Perhaps you're thinking of Wonder Bug from the Krofft Super Show? That's the only link I could find with a picture.

  • Yeah, it's very annoying, hopefully it will be fixed in the next update. I had to restore my iPod to the previous software version to get that functionality back. Working smart playlists are a lot more important to me than Podcasts. There's a b…

  • There's a script called Make Bookmarkable that will change the file type for you. Just select the tracks in iTunes and run the script, no need to edit each file individually.

  • Check you have your system folder selected as your startup disk in System Preferences. If you don't have a system folder selected your Mac has to hunt for one every time it boots. The system folder selection is stored in PRAM, so if you ever had…

  • One small thing I noticed, they modified the "Special Deals" refurbished products page. The PowerBooks are now arranged by screen size instead of all being lumped together, and they added a section for 20 inch iMacs.

  • Classic is not part of Panther, you need to install it separately from your system restore disks. If you don't have a copy of 9.2 you can order it from Apple for $19.95.

  • I can't set "align to grid" on the desktop. If I do, and I try to re-arrange the icons, as soon as I click anywhere else everything jumps back to where it was. Repeated clicking causes icons to jump back and forth. SMB browsing is completely sc…

  • No, there hasn't been a firmware update for this. Apple's never admitted that the problem is with the drive itself, their line is if you can't burn at greater than 4x you're using bad CD-R's.

  • There was a problem with the 10.2.4 version of Jaguar that caused some people with iBooks to experience ticking sounds like you're describing. I'm not sure exactly what the problem was, but it was supposedly fixed in either the 10.2.5 or 10.2.6 upd…

  • Don't be cheap when you buy a brewpot, if the metal is too thin you'll get hot spots on the bottom and burn your wort. If you want to keep it simple for your first batch go with a pre-hopped kit, but if you want the best results skip the kits and…
