  • As much as I myself would like to see Apple offer a low-cost computer, the eMac is already pretty cheap - and a good value. I "sold" a friend on buying an eMac and she was very pleasantly surprised when I showed her all the software that was include…
  • I would tend to agree that as long as the use of the "Genie" effect in Office remains a Mac only feature, Apple will not complain. In fact, for Office v.X, I read that MS:MacBU had to completely write their own genie effect from scratch, because it…
  • I think the new offering is quite an improvement; the best part is that we can now allocate storage between email and iDisk to suit our own individual needs. Personally, I think I will also go with 50 eMail / 200 iDisk. The aquafied bar graph that …
  • Actually, WMP:mac is fine, for most purposes. Where it tends to have problems are with higher bit rate video, streaming video, and the lack of DRM support. But for simple applications like audio streaming and lower bit rate video, I think WMP is ju…
  • Although, admittedly, *some* of the iPod+hp skins are ugly, some aren't that bad, and it appears HP will introduce blank (printable) skins also, so those who object can roll their own. I think it's actually not a bad way for HP to be able to diff…
  • I rolled out of bed, went over to the computer, and opened up the email I previously received from my university. Copied and pasted a URL into QuickTime Player, and I was pleasantly surprised to receive a 500k average (best guess) MPEG-4 audio &a…
  • I haven't yet reinstalled developer tools to play with, but when I do, I'll attempt to get a binary together of YahooPOPs - and I'll post about it here.
  • Yahoo used to have a program called Yahoo Delivers! - where, if you would sign up and agree to receive emails from Yahoo's advertisers, you could (originally) earn Yahoo Points (but that part was dropped) and receive free POP access to your Yahoo ac…
  • I thought that all the old iTools names (blahblahblah@mac.com) were still reserved as iChat / AIM names. I have to wonder though, if a paying customer really wants one of those names, if Apple will eventually release them. There should be some kind …
  • I think this would be a great idea; the least Apple could do is allow users to enter "Apple Store Gift Card" numbers online for use at the iTMS or Apple Store website itself. You can accomplish a similar function for gift giving by visiting webce…
  • Hey, forget Puretunes.com - try the Russian site AllOfMp3.com - it's great. You can pick MP3, OGG, etc. however they use a different AAC encoder that won't play in QuickTime, so I don't suggest Mac users download in that format. Basically, their sys…
