  • The whole argument on the reliance of Office is reliant on the user already being knowledgeable in it. If the user goes into Pages blind, I'm sure it would be easier for them to grasp then Word. It may also work the other way. An employee of mine…
  • Motorola never called them G4, IBM never called them G5, it was always Apple. Notice their online store? When they refer to the processor they say, "PowerPC G4" or "PowerPC G5". Now we will have Intel G4 and Intel G5 or whatever. Its simply the g…
  • Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison I think QT7's biggest issue is encoding speed. I don't see many problems with the final result. Or being able to rip DVDs Thats why I use Handbrake. H.264 in general could use a speed up.
  • The only time I've used H.264 (a while now though) was using HandBrake. But not havint QT7 or Tiger or a fast Mac I've used it rarely. Tell us how it goes. My only example was an ep of spongebob

  • Quote: Originally posted by Gon ???? Anyway, hdgames.net seems to work pretty well to find out whether a certain graphics or sound support is in a console game. If you are a second class citizen, then what am I here in the PAL ghetto? ??…
  • Mine went through a washing and a drying, while it survived its connecter is loose. It can freely move in and out like 5mm. When I first mounted it OS X took some coaxing, but it may just have been the connector. Now I have to bend it, almost to a 2…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Amorph Besides, who buys a wide screen in order to see less of the game? I can imagine the uproar when someone releases "widescreen support" that reduces the effective field of view... Right, but see HD gaming is l…
  • Sure, but I don't require "real" 16:9 anyway. Really is it that hard to just "zoom" widescreen, cut off some horizontal resolution. I know HD and widescreen is still niche, so I don't expect miracles when I get down to it. If memory serves even Wipe…
  • I'm part of a small company, but work with larger ones. I've never once heard "optical disc" and "backup" mentioned in the same conversation. They either use elaborate tape setups or hard drives in an elaborate array of setups. The larger they are, …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Tazznb Correction... M$ has been in the gaming business for a very looong time. Ever buy a PC game..... and then wonder why they never offer to send it to OSX.... Windows has been in the gaming business forever. T…
  • Quote: Originally posted by kotatsu Which controller pad is best is another golden chestnut of the gaming world. Personally I rate the Cube pad best, although not for any game with digital input. Yeah the GC pad digital is bad. When I play Gam…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Tuttle BTW, how goes your 125 million poly/sec xbox games? I don't care about polys/sec, but AFAIK the Xbox can push higher resolutions then the others offering more HD gaming. But hell, even games at 1080i aren't …
  • Curious, how much more fragile does additional layers make a optical disk? Its super-niche but I really love my MO disks Seriously though, in day to day use I don't want media that is more fragile then it already is. A month ago I wouldn't have …
  • 3.2 GHz triple-core PowerPC? So can we now implement that rule; all games published be designed for HDTV. No need to make excuses, full 1080i. Fun times will be had by all.
  • Quote: Originally posted by othello http://macosrumors.com/20050429.php Good one. Pound for pound the Mac mini is going to recieve a better upgrade then any other machine? No. Right when they said 2 GB RAM+ I was on the floor.
  • Quote: Originally posted by hypoluxa I'd really be surprised if apple doesn't at least give notice that they do have a dual core machine in the works... With that brief statement their Power Mac sales will plummet, hurting an already over-stoc…
  • I'm slow, how did a link to an Xbox article have any bearing on iPods, Apple and Media Center PCs? Unless the next Xbox will be a media center PC, which I doubt with Microsofts apparent "this is not a PC" ideal for the Xbox brand. Recently I bega…
  • I don't know outside of a realistic upgrade (64 MB GPU) and my unrealistic ones (additional FireWire port, 2 GB recognition) I think its right where it should be. Hope at least a 64 MB GPU is in there sometime. Don't care which kind but video perfor…
  • The Mac mini options do blow the system up, inflates the price too much. I plan on buying a stock 1.2 GHz off the shelf. First upgrade is a gig of RAM ($110 USD). That has to be done ASAP. Once the noise, or space constraints or lack of DVD burning …
