    best place to buy Ti667 ?

    I bought mine at the Apple Store because I want to support it and help it to become profitable. Also, I can return my opened box system for a restocking fee, whereas if I bought it as MacMall, I am SOL if I want to return the machine.

    Does the new TiBook 800 still have IRDA?

    New Apple Ads

    I agree, and as I stated, I don't think it's a major issue for now. However, what I don't want is for people to feel uncomfortable discussing race in technology, because it's a valid topic. Racism shouldn't be a taboo subject in technology. Apple have been priding themselves for being one of...

    New Apple Ads

    I do think race, etc. does have a place on this board, as long as it's part of the discussion about Macs, technology, and on topic. Race in technology is a vital topic, there are many relevant discussions in this area, from the digital divide to multi-ligual programming concepts. I like...

    Who's your favorite apple ad "CHARACTER"?

    I like the Windows system admin and the bearded programmer. I am a programmer who for year thought I could only do what I do on a PC, so I can relate to them very well. :D I do like Sarah Whister for the "horrid little machine" comment, and the DJ gal, cuz she seems way cool.

    Shared Folder in VPC 5.03???

    You need to install the VPC additions files. This is available when you have Windows running, and that on the bottom of the VPC window, there is a small control panel looking thing (it's probably greyed out), click on that and you should get an option to install additions. Once you do that, you...

    Apple's "Real People" ad seeks PC crowd

    "The Thin Blue Line" was an amazing documentary, I hope these ads turn out great too. However, I have to admit, it kinda reminds me of the OS/2 Warp ads from the early 90's, with people using OS/2 and saying how much better it was than Windows 3.1. Those ads weren't too effective as I recall...

    New smallscale Jaguar features...

    ODBC is pretty much a Microsoft technology (they came up with it). It allows a "transparent" bridge between software and database. Theoretically, this allows a software to switch to another database without code changes, as long as the database calls are ODBC calls. In practice, it does have its...

    Xbox LIVE.

    According to the latest survey, only 7% of the US internet users have broadband, and the rate of sign up is not picking up. If broadband is a prerequisite for Xbox LIVE, it would be a tough sell. Xbox is targetted for the teen market, and it is their parents who make the decisions for...

    This ad really upsets me...

    Hmm... I didn't find the ad too offensive. It looks like they are just using a time line and certainly did not try to equate the two presidents' values... After all, the ad did say the two presidents envision freedom "quite differently". I see the ad as a voice to how different things have...

    Next iApp?

    I think speech recognition is an interesting concept, and no doubt that in the future it'll be an established alternative for computer human interaction. However, I LIKE typing as a way of inputting text. The truth is that I revise my writing a lot. And it'll just be too combersome to state...
