  • Why do people insist on flattering themselves by labelling their own opinions as "truth"? Paragraph after paragraph of fantasy, guesswork, and doomcrying, unsupported by any kind of real experience or evidence. I hope you at least had fun writing…
    in Realism: Apple had a lousy quarter. Comment by nonsuch January 2002
  • Why does this issue still come up? Apple has historically put only a bare minimum of RAM into their machines (particularly the low-end ones) to allow their VARs to offer a free RAM "upgrade" as a buying incentive. Check any 3rd-party Mac seller -…
    in What is it with Apple and ram? Comment by nonsuch January 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by spindler: I don't like this comparison to Windows. it makes it seem like they are running neck and neck and Apple has pulled out in front again. Windows users aren't going to care if the Mac claims to be a bit better.…
    in Apple has a new "Myths" page Comment by nonsuch January 2002
  • I have never been able to connect to a QuickTime stream on my Windows box here at work. This year was no exception.
    in Did anyone notice about the streaming keynote... Comment by nonsuch January 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by Programmer: Heh. Imagine if they had done some kind of a trivial bump of the PowerMacs at the keynote. Can you imagine the complaints and doomsaying that would have happened then? And everybody knows that the mach…
    in Why no new Powermacs at MWSF is good for Apple Comment by nonsuch January 2002
  • If your camera gear is fairly new, chances are it will be supported soon. I seem to remember Jobs saying future updates to iPhoto would support more models.
    in The Black Hole of upgrades... Comment by nonsuch January 2002
  • A Tribble returns to Apple, properly speaking ... That's pretty interesting news. A lot of people disenchanted with the direction OS X is taking have been clamoring for a return of some of the old guard ... I wonder if this will mollify their obj…
    in Speaking Of Star Trek A "Tribble" Joins Apple Comment by nonsuch January 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by RubberDucky: The Airport antenna is already integrated, it shouldn't be tough to write a very lightweight OS that could run in Flash Memory on the monitor, and all the legwork is still done by the iMac base. You d…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Scott H.: I guess for those who shoot thier own porn they can have Apple print their own porn mag. You know people are using iMovie to edit "home" movies Now they can burn their own to DVD on the cheap. That would…
    in Revolutionize your porn collection! Comment by nonsuch January 2002
  • I think the new iMac is cool, and I think it will sell as fast as Apple can make them. I was never too much into the original, but this thing makes me think long and hard. Add iPhoto to the mix, and I think you have a pretty strong Expo. Many folks …
    in Came back to find this!!!!!!!! Comment by nonsuch January 2002
  • A journalist remembered watching the first "Think Different" commercial in Jobs's presence. She recalled Jobs wept at the sight of it. Say what you will about the man -- bad manager, tyrant, abusive, petty, devious -- he cares about a lot more th…
    in A Revelation: Steve Jobs REALLY cares about more than just $$$. Comment by nonsuch January 2002
  • Michael, it couldn't have happened to a worthier Mac fan. Congrats and well done.

  • He seemed to have a little trouble finding something disparaging to say, but by gum, he managed it.

  • [quote]Originally posted by applenut: NeXT was worth 400 Million? hell no. put in perspective. Steve Jobs abused Apple in his asking price. So first it's Apple's fault for screwing Be, and now it turns out Jobs actually screwed Apple? …
    in Why did Be die? Comment by nonsuch December 2001
  • [quote]Originally posted by applenut: Apple screwed them into believing they would and then at the very last minute Apple bought NeXT. Be was screwed. Aw, bad ol' Apple. Gassée was quoted as saying, re his negotiations with Apple, "I…

  • 1) MST3K 2) Buffy 3) Doctor Who 4) Blackadder 5) Monty Python Current (though not all-time) fave: Family Guy. Way funnier and more consistent than that pale specter masquerading as the Simpsons nowadays.
    in Fav. TV shows? Comment by nonsuch February 2002
  • I sent a friend of mine a copy of the free program from Paul McCartney's 1989 tour. She never got it. That's the only thing I ever lost in the mail, but it was kind of a doozy since I couldn't replace it.
    in Ever lose something in the mail? Comment by nonsuch February 2002
  • I have exactly the same system as you. With 512 MB of RAM, OS X runs acceptably. Not terribly fast, but acceptably. It's not exactly as responsive as OS 9, but it's close enough that it doesn't bother me (this is 10.2 we're talking about of course).
    in OS X on G4 350 MHz (AGP graphics) Power Mac? Comment by nonsuch February 2003
  • Are any Apple engineers or project managers slated to attend? I'd love to hear some idea of the future of the Mac OS filesystem--everyone is expecting some change to come, but no one knows what it's going to be. Even some informed speculation might …
