  • I neither have an @TV, nor Front Row. But I seem to remember something about music videos being relocated to the music library, rather than the video library. Maybe they're listed under music? Find the artist and title under music (rather than vi…
  • Quote: Originally Posted by filburt I think that's where Mac mini comes into play. Mac mini does #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #9, #11, #12, and #14 already (possibly #13). It really needs an update though (802.11n, Core 2 Duo, HDMI, etc.). True.…

  • I don't know why I think this is so cool, but...the idea of loading a movie onto your iPhone, going over to someone's house and playing the movie from the iPhone to an @TV just screams cool to me. Having said that, the ability to plug in an iPod …

  • This is just a rough patch for us Mac customers/fans. Waiting for Santa Rosa. Waiting for iPhone. Waiting for Leopard. Waiting for iLife 07. Not as bad as waiting for Godot. But still... Leopard won't come until WWDC. And if it does, we'll be luc…

  • Definitely waiting for Leopard, iLife 07, updated (Santa Rosa) MacBooks and MBPs, and iPhone. Hoping for a mini with 3.5" HDD, but not holding breath. We will get one of the following: 1) Two MacBooks 2) One Macbook and two iPhones 3) Tw…

  • What i want to know is this: Is a MacBook with GMA950 going to play things worse than my 5-1/2 year old 867MHz tower with the stock GeForce 2MX (32MB VRAM). I wasn't expecting much when I loaded World of Warcraft on my computer over the winter…
