Hmm... the originally predicted price of the RED camera was $10,000... still an excellent price for what you're getting (the Genesis costs approx $3000 per day to rent), but I'd wait to wait until the second generation model before buying one, as it's a startup company with no prior experience...

I configured my Mighty Mouse to operate as a two-buttoned mouse, but it's a bit pointless because I very rarely right-click with it. I rarely need to access right-click functions.

A friend of mine uses her MacBook Pro's iSight for taking photographs. It looks really weird when she sets up a shot with it. I keep telling her to get a proper camera. If I had a MacBook (or Pro), that's the first thing I'd disable. I know that Macs are pretty secure, but I get paranoid about...

Didn't some people say that their MacBook didn't get so hot after updating the firmware?

It will be poorly designed, yet Windows users will love it and think it is completely original. Btw, it probably would have helped if I had linked to the original article I read, rather than a different one :p Microsoft is said to be developing a competing product to Apple's GarageBand...

Wouldn't that be illegal?

This is good news for me as I try to use Mac applications as much as possible, but some excellent Windows apps that I use for work don't have a Mac equivalent unfortunately. This means that before, I couldn't just "buy a cheap biege box" but had to buy an expensive PC because they're pretty...

And also note that Office for the Mac doesn't come with Access or Frontpage.

Pros don't use iMovie anyway, so it would definitely be a consumer camera. 1 MP would be enough for HD. 720p = 1280 x 720 = 921,600 ~ 1 MP. I think there's also a 1080x960 (or something like that) HD resolution available as well.

Yeah, I saw that today, thanks. They're calling it 5.1 but I think the only difference is that it's Universal. I'm still deciding whether to buy a MacBook Pro or not. This has tipped the argument more towards the "for" camp ;)

I personally have no trouble at all telling the difference between Apple Corps and Apple Computer.

When I bought my PowerMac, my Mighty Mouse came with a short cable but also an extension cable if you wanted to put it further away. I think this is better than having a long cable because long cables can restrict the movement of the mouse and can be untidy.

Btw, "it" = Final Cut Pro. I forgot to mention that.

Someone told me it had been released already. She said she phoned up her local Apple store and they said they had the crossgrades in stock. I haven't heard anyone else say this though, so she may have been mistaken.

I have an Alienware laptop that I use for gaming and running apps that don't work on Macs. They're really good machines actually (pity about the OS though). I don't think it's the end of Alienware though because all Dell wants is its profits. It's not making any changes to the structure of the...

I heard that they're now shipping the Universal upgrades to Final Cut Pro. Apple's site was very cryptic and just said "Shipping in March 2006". Does anyone know if it is true or not?

I'm not sure exactly HOW the MagSafe connector could catch fire, so it's probably something else. Maybe the magnet's generating extra electricity or something (very unlikely). Btw, what does FUD mean?

A few days old now but I didn't see it elsewhere on the site. http://wiredblogs.tripod.com/cultofmac/index.blog?entry_id=1437672 A guy returned home to find that his MagSafe power connector had caught fire by itself and melted. Apple replaced the unit and asked him to remove the pictures, but...

$3000? Wow. You should check the small print to check that it doesn't say that Bluetooth is excepted, and refuse to pay if it doesn't.
