Is there a direct way of editing, rather rather than opening a document, from the Finder? e.g. * I want to open webpages in Safari, but edit them in a text editor. * I want to open images in Preview, but edit them in GIMP Kap P.S. I know I can ctrl-click a file and select "Open...

I want to be able to sync a directory which contains text files (i.e. .java files) on my Powerbook, to my Palm Zire 22, so I can read (and preferably edit) this code on the road. Can anyone recommend a good text editor on the Palm which will do this (I already have Missing Sync installed, which...

Not possible, but you could try using Salling Clicker and a bluetooth enabled mobile phone to control your presentation (assuming you have BT on your PB). Kap

when you're playing music, the mini store automatically brings up the part of the iTMS of content by that artist (i.e. iTMS browsing without thinking about it). Kap

Actually, I kind of like it. As long as it can be turned off, I don't see the harm. Kap

I love the look of these new iPod nanos, but it's still interesting to reflect on the possible fallout: 1. There are no anodised aluminium iPods in the iPod line anymore (probably the opposite direction in which people expected Apple to go). 2. A whole bunch of iPod mini accessories are now...

I don't care about playing music on my phone - old news. However, if this thing came with a decent amount of built in storage (1GB or more - either flash or hard disk based), then my interest would be somewhat aroused. From what I've heard on the rumour mill though, this isn't too likely. And...

Fantastic - thanks Cheryl. :) Kap

I want to add BPM information to my music in iTunes. There are a number of programs available on Windows to generate this automatically by analysing the mp3 file. Is there anything that does this on OS X? Kap

I bought Keynote 2 last week and gave a presentation, but couldn't get the presenter display to come up (thankfully, I didn't really need it). Could someone give me ideas for things to try next time? Kap

Thanks to everyone who replied. I've now got a fully charged iPod mini (couldn't say how long it actually took - just left it on the Powerbook while I was asleep) and I'm a happy camper. Kap

Ok, I've just got a new iPod mini and they don't come with power bricks anymore. How long should it take to fully charge the mini using USB1.1? Kap

For the cost of a Rebel XT, you could almost get the Zen Vision and a Canon Powershot S2 IS (i.e. a perfectly good and fun camera) http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Canon/canon_s2is.asp Kap

These things aren't "no-gos" in the way I meant (i.e. Things that Apple/SJ has taken a stand in saying that it won't do). I think it's a certainty that Apple will do at least some of the above (esp. the spreadsheet program), even though they haven't actually said anything either way. Kap

PC Magazine has a preview of the Creative Zen Vision http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1843921,00.asp and this thing is beautiful - exactly the player I wish Apple had brought out. It even tunes and records FM radio. At just $100 more than the full sized iPod, I see Apple losing a...

Ok, so within the last few years (and esp. the last couple of months ;)): We've got an Apple program that runs on Windows (iTunes) Macs will ship with Intel processors Multibutton mouse (never thought I'd see the day :D) So, what's left? Video iPod springs to mind (and interestingly...

The Dual PowerMac is at least among the fastest computers you can buy today (i.e. the difference probably doesn't matter at all to the majority of people). If you want the computer now, I would buy it now. There's no such thing as future proofing a computer purchase - in a given number of years...

A slightly different spin on the whole thing - both the iPod (the iPod mini at least) and the PSP are so cheap today that the average person can actually afford to get both (and that situation is only likely to improve in the forseeable future). Plus, as many people on this board most likely...

Now here's a thought - obviously Apple is going to have problems ensuring Pages can open all Word documents. However, there should be absolutely no reason why Pages shouldn't be able to open all AppleWorks word processing documents. Can anyone actually confirm that Pages is 100% backwards...

USP? I think that's actually 3 separate points :D, but I generally agree. I'd modify these to be: a. Able to see video clearly (this is a function of the screen quality, resolution, frame rate, etc) b. User swappable battery. The technology simply isn't ready to have video and great...
