  • Apple building a PVR is way too "me too" for Apple. Now, that having been said, Apple will build something for home video entertainment, I suspect. I think you have to look down the road 8-10 years as to what the market will be, then ask yours…
  • Holy crap. It sure sounds like Front Page for Mac ? don't it? Long, long overdue IMO. Moreso than a spreadsheet app. I hope it turns out to be true.
  • Well...as someone with thousands of photos ? a tiny percentage of which have ever seen the light of day, I'd kill for an app that streamlines my photo editing process. I often return from shooting a baseball game with 600 images. Due to time cons…
  • Um, look, they're going to rebuild the city. They're going to build new, stronger levees. Some part of the city will have to be raised, such as the Ninth Ward. But to suggest that the city shouldn't be rebuilt ? that's like telling someone who…
  • Quote: Originally posted by abilstein Personally I prefer InDesign to Quark. It's the newer kid on the block, but it integrates really well with other Adobe apps and CS2 is superior to Quark in some areas, IMO. Quark has some advanced workflow fe…
  • How about Photoshop CS 2? I'm certainly getting the watch there. Which I find interesting, plus I'm seeing some system slowdowns... My new G5 dual 2.0 is running slower than my old single 1.8 (same RAM, same apps) because of an odd video rende…
  • Oh yeah, also: Make sure all of your nuclear (nukular) devices have the big bright yellow "I'm a big, fat bomb and I belong to the NRA" sticker as required by law. And when you pull out your concealed guns, make sure you don't point them direc…
  • 720p by 1920 was in the original ATSC format (a total of 18 formats, including 1080p/60) table, but I guess it got yanked, as too data intensive (only recently have CRT displays been able to even come close to that resolution with any light output).…
  • 1280 by 720? Yeah...except one minor problem: the ATSC standard is 1920 by 720. So why don't you stick to math (that is what your fingers are for) ? and leave the hard stuff to those of us who have been writing professionally about HDTV since…
  • "Along with the launch of 10.5, Apple will release the iSight 2 which will be capable of HD (720p, up to 1080i) video-conferencing. This functionality will require the equivalent of today's high-end hardware and ram and of course a high-speed broadb…
  • I have to agree with the naysayers Ñ as someone with a decade of magazine product review experience Ñ I have to say Tiger was not ready for prime time, but rather in Beta. When the primary browser doesn't work for about half the installed users (qu…
  • I waited...watched...and lurked waiting for new G5s...or a new G5 iMac to run my new Adobe Creative Suite. Finally...I couldn't pass up the deal on single 1.8 with a GB of RAM and the glorious 20-inch monitor, with trade-in (I have a great local…
  • After playing with InDesign for afew hours (and coverting my old Quark documents), this is clearly the way to go. While I'll have to get used to doing things a new way, the old Quark ways were kind of odd and complicated (thanks to that 1989 inte…
  • Run, do not walk, away from Quark. I've used it for 13 years and today, it's over. My copy of Adobe Creative Suite is en route and I am switching to InDesign and GoLive for web. After spending two hours on the phone with a tech support from In…
  • It is true. You can only save to 5.0...if it even works, which for me, so far, it hasn't. Why is that Microsoft manages to allows saves back many generations of software, as does Adobe, and Quark can't?
  • Well...InDesign certainly has its value...but...shoickingly, I use XPress for both print and basic Web design and it is easy to switch content between the two media...something InDesign doesn't do, unless I'm mistaken. Oh...and don't recommend Dr…
  • So...no one else is having problems with QuarkXpress 6.0? I've gone as far as wiping my hard drive and reinstalling only a minimum (base) install of OS X, and yet it still quits either at launch, or when trying to open a file. It continually wants t…
  • Based on the release, I'm betting the QA staff got gassed a long time ago. Quark's management makes Microsoft look like the cast of "The Sound of Music."
  • Uh...yeah. I've been using it since 2.12. 4.0 was a big mess, but not as bad as this. 5.0 was cranky, too, but again, not as mind-bogglingly awful as this version. For this we waited two years?
  • The first bug appears to be in shipping it out. While I've lived with Quark 5's personality disorders, it plays so poorly with my OS X environment that I've been patiently waiting for 6.0. When it became available, I immediately called and ordered…
