    Best camcorder for Ibook

    I agree with this completely. There are a lot of flashy, expensive cameras out there in the consumer market that are "surplus to requirement". iMovie and Final Cut can handle all your editing and effects better than any camera could. You don't need or want DVD recording on camera. HDD recording...

    Can anyone recommend a good tablet?

    I would definitely recommend the Wacom tablets as the best supported tablets on the market. I have owned other brands, but as the biggest player in this little niche Wacom is the only company I've found that has consistent software support in all your applications. Also, its *infinitely* easier...

    My First Mac

    I have one of those G3 iMacs as my spare desktop (Bondi Blue). They are great little machines and, for a low cost personal computer that is over 7 years old they are still very desirable, useful and sought after. A little advice if you ever want to hook it up to wireless, be warned that...

    iPhone early adopters get $100 credit to any Apple store purchase

    Bravo Apple, and Bravo Steve. I could not possibly agree more. My iMac cost me 170% more than today's iMac, just three years down the road. Was it worth it though? You bet. All that really means to me is that while back then the Apple brand was really for those who were willing to spend a...

    Apple event September 5th confirmed

    I doubt they've intentionally crippled these features, just that they aren't ready at the time of the announcement. I assume since all the developers were pressing so hard to get iPhone out on schedule, they haven't been able to allocate time until now to handle the iPod Touch versions of these...

    Is carbon-offsetting just eco-enslavement?

    I think there are some very good and some very bad things going around in the Carbon Offset world at the moment. Some of the schemes are great, and clearly fund land rehabilitation and tree planting projects. Some are interesting: I have been dealing with a company that is trying to put forward...

    Apple event September 5th confirmed

    I get the impression that Apple were probably aiming at getting the iPod Touch and the iPhone to market at more or less the same time, and the pressure to get the iPhone to market pushed it forward by several weeks. Well, I have to admit I'm tempted to ask Santa for an iPod touch this year...

    wireless cards and MAC

    Cell phones don't work in this way. It is possible to use the cell phone's bluetooth to access the Internet from your Mac, but I don't know of any cell phones that will share their Internet connection to wireless.

    Install Tiger via Remote

    Pick up a Firewire cable from your local computer store, use it to connect the firewire ports on each mac directly to each-other. You then boot up the Mac you want to install onto (the one with the bad CD drive) while holding the "T" key, and it will force that Mac to pretend it is an external...

    Software recommendations

    Xee is an image viewer that I always keep because it is very simple and very fast. MouseZoom extends the range of speed and acceleration options for your mouse. I found it indispensible for my Logitech, which was way too slow even on Apple's fastest setting. http://perian.org/ is a good...

    Apple working on car technology

    Well, as a long-time Jaguar and Apple fan (I'm currently restoring a 1969 Daimler V8) I can honestly say that I like the sounds of this car. :-D

    Apple event September 5th confirmed

    Well, somebody had better get ready, because thats a whole lotta lawyers gearing up to hunt them down over that image, hehe. ;) I wouldn't be surprised to see the Nano get only a slight bump in terms of features, capacity and price while the main iPod line goes all widescreen touchy feely...

    Any Harm In Keeping Firefox Running While Sleeping?

    I concur. There is no need to close any application down when sleeping a Mac.

    Apple waiting on Blu-ray...any thoughts or opinions?

    While I usually appreciate seeing Apple forge ahead on technologies that other manufacturers haven't yet adopted, such as Bluetooth and USB, they've always done this only after the standards have been agreed on by all the parties concerned. Leaping in on a standard before it is finalised is a...

    Apple event September 5th confirmed

    The invite is *very* much iPod and Coverflow themed. I'd say a new iPod is about to make its appearance. Neato! :)

    Beta Testing Tropical MacBook

    This photo is definitely a fake, because the "Tropical" screensaver seems to be appearing on the outside of the display, while the notes and calendars from your cubicle wall are on your screen. I reckon its a Photoshop job. Either that, or you've got yourself a really nice spot there. :)

    kitchen cupboard

    I've used Mother's Scratch Remover (a wax polish designed for removing scratches from car duco) and found it to be incredibly good for the task of removing scratches from the case of my iBook. :-)

    Add FW to usb external HD

    An empty firewire & USB external hard drive case can be picked up for less than the price of a pizza. I'd save the mucking around and just pick one up, put your hard drive into it, and enjoy.

    A marriage made in heaven or hell?

    Hmm, a wife who tidies away magazines that you're still trying to read. I'm not sure if that is a marriage made in heaven or in hell. :confused: Or did I miss the point? :rolleyes:
