God? Bored? Not! Your suggestion presupposes that God is subject to linear time, just like we are. If God is truly an omnipotent being, than moving backward and forward through time would be no harder than moving from place to place.... But what do I know, I'm agnostic...

Want your USB Camera to work with iChat? Wish granted... Now stop your iWhining and get back to work... :D

I don't listen to pop music (which is banal trash nowadays anyway), so I'm not the poster boy for this, but... There was a time when signing with a big label meant that they would promote your band/act and you would slowly gain exposure as a result of their push to get you played on radio...

You really think that? Do you think that someone else is entitled to whatever artistic output you put forth and offer no compensation in return? Do you understand what Capitalism is? Musicians deserve to get paid for their works. The problem is the record companies are outdated middlemen who...

Also, the FTP function actually works in the Finder finally. For those looking for a good Finder replacement in the interim, check out Path Finder ... The newest beta has some great new features like a side shelf, a process viewer, and boatloads of customization options (fonts, icon sizes...

Here's the BSA figures on piracy... In America... From the site: "With an already-low piracy rate – the lowest in the world – the rate in North America declined moderately, from 32% in 1994 to 24% in 2002. The 2002 U.S. piracy rate of 23% is a drop of eight points from 31% in 1994, still...

Funny how you've been the only one to feel I was "preaching". I simply made an observation that piracy is hurting Mac software development. Apparently it hit a little close to home with you, because you seem a bit irate over it. Oh well. I never claimed to give everybody the warm fuzzies...

In the case of Premiere, you are correct - piracy wasn't an issue. However, when looking at PS, AI or ID, piracy of these apps is quite significant. My estimate would probably put pirated copies of these apps on the Mac platform at about 50% worldwide. Sure, that number is probably smaller than...

Ouch. Looks like my suggestion not to pirate hit a little too close to home for someone. In case you haven't noticed, MacOSX.com is everyones soapbox. With over 1000 posts to my credit, I'll have no problem climbing down off of it. However, since you only 60 or so posts, you might need...

It's not very attractive. Sorry. Looks like you have a bevvy of content though, so a quality redesign should put you in the pink... Good luck...

Premiere has seen better days, but in 1998, it was the only sub-$1000 game in town (except for Strata, then Avid Video Pro). While not the most elegant program, it worked quite well. I completed several CD-ROM and Multimedia kiosk projects in it, and it was more than adequate. Flash forward...

Well, if you don't know anybody who's pirating Adobe (or anyone else's) software, there isn't much you can do. But if you do, give them a hard time about it and guilt them in to getting legal. If you've been using a pirated copy, get legal. Most of the time you can buy a previous version off...

I should probably clarify my remarks... I'm not saying that piracy was a factor in the decision to drop Premiere, mostly because since Apple has the better product, more people probably pirate it than Premiere on the Mac... However, Photoshop is a heavily pirated Mac application. Many of...

For those who think that pirating an application isn't stealing and doesn't hurt the platform, look no further than the recent killing of Premiere for the Mac by Adobe. Sure, FCP is a better product - but it only got that way by having a healthy competitor in Adobe Premiere. Now, Mac users...

I guess I'm going to have to start a counter petition then... The reason USB cameras are not supported, is that Apple wants to provide a high quality video conferencing experience. USB (1.1) Cameras simply do not have the bandwidth to provide this. If you own a USB camera and want to video...

That's a pretty good bargain. I'd go for it...

It might have something to do with it being ALPHA quality software meant for developers only.

Pretty harsh Chemistry Geek, but man - I actually agree with you... As un-fair as it feels, if he's the CEO, and he feels the expense is warranted, then that's the end of the story. I understand your frustration though. The clowns here play a similar game, while we are forced to use old...

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! People have been worried about this since they started making army men in China in the 60's. Alot of these jobs will be lost to automation anyway. How will the Chinese economy compete with an economy based upon robotic workers? It will either adapt...
