Actually, many EULAs allow for installs on multiple computers, so long as it's only used on 1 at a time. iLife has no serial #'s or any verification, so you could install on multiple computers and be within the EULA so long as you use only one copy at a time. I am not sure if Apple implements...

At the Education price point ($49), it's a great deal. If you consider that Keynote was $99 when it came out, now you can get two apps for $20 less ($50 less in the Education pricing), it's an even better deal. This is what bugs me though. Apple bills this as a suite of apps. It's not a suite...

I purchased iLife '05. I also anted up for Final Cut Express HD. I got FCE when Apple offered the Premiere trade in. I skipped the FCE2 upgrade, but this upgrade is a no brainer. Adding LiveType and Soundtrack make this the best video bundle deal on any platform. FCE HD coupled with a low end...

They were low resolution because they were taken with a Nokia camera phone. The Nokia camera phones take 640x480 VGA res pics with a high degree of artifacting. It also takes very short movies in 3GP format. I don't think there were any Nokia camera phones available back in the 70's for the...

It's the real deal folks. Anyone want to make a wager? I'm glad they went with the iHome label instead of iMac. This thing is Apple's answer to the Windows Media Center PCs, and it's going to lay waste to them. Imagine - iTunes, iPhoto in your living room. I'm soooooo looking forward to...

I doubt this rumor will actually pan out. It's been "reported" several times before. That said, if this Mac was geared towards being a "living room" media PC, it would be the next killer app for Apple. With iPhoto, iTunes and iDVD, you are basically managing your music, photos, and video...

For Christmas I got my mom a Logitech Webcam 2 pack (one for her, one for her friend). She installed it the other day and "attempted" to video chat with one of her other friends. On AIM, there was audio, but no video. On MSN Messenger, there was video, but no audio. We gave up after almost an...

And there were plenty of good (subjective term) mp3 jukeboxes available with mp3 players for Windows before the iPod as well. Apple clearly has a better product, and with very little modification, could have a hit with a cross platform product instead of a Mac only product. As for the USB 2...

Actually, Cocoa is based upon the OpenStep APIs, which were ported to the Windows environment pre Mac OS X. Of course, it's been 4 years since that API was brought to the Mac and made in to what is now Cocoa, but I bet Apple hedged their bets and kept the API running on Intel hardware - just in...

Just got an iBook for the mrs. for christmas (hey - that rhymes!). However, I coudn't justify getting one with a 30GB HD. By the time we add our music & photocollection, we would be out of storage space. So, I used my education discount to get it at the Apple Store for $949, plus another $65 for...

The guys over at theMacMind have posted a rendering which they claim is the new iPod flash. Unfortunately, they have been /.'ed, so their site is down. Fortunately, I have the image. Click for iPod flash rendering...

The 15" Aluminum Powerbook still has some issues with the screens. Lurk around on Apple's Support Discussion boards and you will see quite a few people who were bitten with this defect. Problems range from blatant white spots on the screen, to serious uneven illumination. I had both issues with...

I've been saying to my friends for nearly a year now that Apple should incorporate a digital camera in to the iPod form factor. A hard drive based digital camera is a no brainer. Ditto for Firewire. It address the two remaining issues with digital photography. First, removable media is expensive...

Although Apple sounds like they are prepping to announce a shipping date for Tiger at MWSF05, I seriously doubt that they would unleash the software then and there. OS releases require preparation from end users to migrate their systems. Also, ISV (independent software vendors) need an actual...

The white spots issue appears to be solved on the Rev. A 15" AluBooks. But the "uneven illumination" issue is prevelant on the Rev. B machines as well... I just got word today that my Powerbook repair is on hold awaiting a part. The part - the logic board. So now, I have had the Inverter...

Funny that as I finished writing my last post, Apple has finally publicly acknowledged the problems with these models and issued a call for owners with afflicted models to call Apple if the problem pops up. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86632 It's a good first step.

NewsFire gets RSS right in my opinion. Adding RSS to Safari is a logical next step, as it will increase RSS awareness and raise it's profile. RSS has already been added to Firefox (in a limited form) and Thunderbird.

Apple has some serious QA problems with their laptop displays. I myself have sent my 15" Powerbok 1.25ghz G4 back 3 times (it's currently in for it's 4th trip to the repair center). The largest thread on the Apple Support site is for the "Uneven Illumination" problem prevelant on 15" laptops...

Based on your logic, I would have to say OS X is better. You see, I need to quickly lookup domain addresses during the day. On Windows, I have to open a browser, wait for it to load, load up domainwhitepages.com, and enter the address. On my Mac, I switch to the terminal, and type "whois...

I have thought this for the last couple of years. I love my Powerbook G4 15" 1.25ghz, but the display is the weakest part of the machine. All of Apple's laptops displays look washed out compared to the sharpness of some of the Wintel competitors. Part of it is OS X. Quartz uses a great deal of...
