    MacBook Air!

    Er, I'm a bit surprised that nobody has mentioned this new addition to the MacBook family. http://www.apple.com/macbookair/ What do you all think? The solid-state 64GB HD is an interesting option, external superdrive a plus and minus depending on how you look @ it.

    Weighty question

    Well, the Romulans had clocking technology right? Won't that have given them some advantage over the borg?

    Weighty question

    Did the romulans ever come into contact with the borg? If they did not, who thinks they'd have been able to resist the borg?

    The new keyboards!

    In one swift vicious move Apple has managed to make my old Bluetooth keyboard look clunky! In case there're p'ple who've not had a peek @ these beauties: http://www.apple.com/keyboard/ I've used the old BT keyboard for about 1.5 yrs and I find the keys slightly too soft. For those of you in...

    "no Airport card installed"

    Right, I've corrected part of the problem. I downloaded the latest airport software and security updates. That sorted out the airport card not being detected. However I still cannot join the office network - I still get "there was an error..." Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    "no Airport card installed"

    I was able to connect to our office wireless network w'out issue till we had a power cut. Next day all other computers in the office can connect to the network except mine. My Airport card could pick up other wireless networks in the building except ours. I simply got "there was an error joining...

    Making sense of system logs

    I'm trying to find a log that will show me every event that's happened on an iMac running Mac OSX server. There's a third-party application that usually crashes late at night and its log is not helpful in tracing the cause of the crash. I was hoping one of the server logs would be able to tell...

    Mighty mouse and Panther

    Just in case the wireless mighty mouse specs page http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/specs.html discouraged you from buying it since there's no indication that it works with Panther, take heart. I shelled out for the little beauty with the intention of finding some third-party driver to make it...

    Skype Video for OSX

    video glitches aside, does anyone know why Skype for Mac does not allow a user to send SMS? I'm still on ver. 1.4.0.49. Windows users have been to do this for a while.

    according to the Apple site, it only works with Tiger. that's another reason not to be excited about it.

    Motorola SLVR; your opinions please

    Did you have to install any extra software to get the PB to recognise your RAZR as a modem?

    Motorola SLVR; your opinions please

    I'm considering replacing my K700i with this phone, though it has fewer features. I would only go for it only if I can use it as GPRS modem with my PowerBook, via Bluetooth. I'm having problems with the K700i in this respect; no suitable modem scripts can be found. A Mac-user friend of mine had...

    Folder action script to prompt for password

    I'd like that when a certain folder is double clicked in Finder, a dialog box pops up to request a password before the folder is opened (similar to the dialog box that comes up when you choose to download something using Software Update or run Onyx). Does anybody have such a script...
