    Presumably in this case we have no choice without voiding the warranty.

    Mac mini

    Do we know for sure whether the RAM will or won't be user-installable? If not, I'm not sure how people will react to having to add $425 to bring the RAM to 1GB. I'm worried that many people will buy the system thinking that 256MB is "enough" for general home use. Personally, I just went...

    Mac mini

    Hmmm... What we really need is some good, cheap, "Media Center" software and a compatible remote to turn the thing into a video/music player attached to the TV...

    iPhoto '05 folders... hierarchical??!!

    Yes, you can. Steve highlighted the subfolder capabilities in the MWSF keynote.

    iLife '05

    ...My original message which started this thread complained that I couldn't figure out how to create an in-thread poll, so there wasn't one. Since then, someone has added a poll to this thread. I'm curious how that was accomplished. Sorry if my question appeared to be phrased in "someone...

    iLife '05

    So how did someone add the poll?

    Now that G5 iMacs have been received...

    You know, I notice that my G5 iMac seems to be able to read DVDs from all regions (I hadn't been expecting this). Is a region-free DVD player a feature of the iMacs?? Macs in general for a while and I hadn't realized it? Is it a fluke? I'm fairly certain it's not catching the region, I've...

    MW - iPod Shuffle website online

    Thing is, it's just NOT an iPod. It's a pen flash drive that seems to happen to play MP3s. There's a pretty big divide in potential market and product itself between this and even the mini iPod. The Mac mini is a good "beginner" Mac. The iPod shuffle is... well... A beginner mp3 player?

    MW - iPod Shuffle website online

    ...But is it enough storage (and features, that's the important bit) for all those users buying the 256MB-or-so flash players? That's all that matters. They already have the market cornered on the "larger storage" players. I wouldn't buy one either, but hopefully it will do well.

    Mac mini

    Did anyone else notice that Jobs was **much** more enthusiastic about the iPod shuffle than the Mac Mini? Do they really think the iPod shuffle will be a bigger seller (in terms of profit) and strategic value than the Mac Mini? Personally, I think the Mini is going to end up being the...

    Keynote Stream is Online

    Hmmm... What does this say about the efficiency of Quicktime streaming technology? (Personally, I'm really hoping that Quicktime 7 will be a great improvement. Quicktime 6 is long in the tooth and definitely my least favorite of the three major players, on Windows OR mac...)

    iLife '05

    If I could figure out how to post a poll, I would... iLife '05 - worth it? Or not? Personally, the iPhoto and Garageband enhancements are worth it for me - I can actually use Garageband! iPhoto 5 looks great. And the book features in look *really* good now, and the book ordering seems...

    Mac mini

    And nearly any non-LCD HDTV as well. Even if the TV doesn't have specific ports for a computer, you can pick up converter boxes from DVI/VGA to HDTV component, etc. My Y2K-model CRT-based HDTV has a SVGA port specifically for hooking up a computer. I had one in the living room for a while...

    BTW, that link has been "nyud.net"ized to try to help keep it from being overloaded - the actual link is http://webpages.charter.net/mattman7/box.jpg ...Though chances are, it'll be shut down if everyone clicks on it =)

    Chat Online -- About MacWorld & More!

    Yes, all points of that would be extremely consistent with past behavior. Of course, the whining will be for good reason =)

    Macworld '05 Rumor Roundup

    I have zero clue whether it has any merit or not... Though it is definitely one of the most pathetic "scoops" I've ever seen, even with the fakes and horrible, horrible Mac rumors =)

    No, I don't believe this bit is true for protected files.
