What are these rumors that Apple will be turning off compatibility for OS 9? Sure the easy way to switch people is to stop delivering it with the new machine, but if rumors are true, a special ROM chip will be checking if the OS is 9.x and not allowing it to boot. That seems like over kill...

Apple picks strange battles. A while ago, around the time of the iPod introduction, we were told that Apple was trying to go at it with Sony because they are the other big "Widget" company. This lead us to believe that Apple would be entering the camera and PDA competition and possibly even...

I am far from a power user but theoretically, it should work to make symbolic links. the command is ln -s. Perhaps you could look into what I did and have better results. I had a usb 30 gig hard drive that wasn't supported under OS X and my 6 gig iMac hard drive was quickly running out of...

I really like the Vines, but that's released on Capitol Records so it defeats the "escape the RIAA" mindset. Get it at target for only 9 bucks tho, so not bad. iTunes 3 finally became usable, whereas the past versions were not. but I still revert back to command line mp3 player called mpg123...

What the heck happened to the "scientific study conducted here"? I only read through this thread because I hoped to hear who did and who didn't. I don't care if you do, I just would like to know who honestly does and why. As for me, I had cracked serials on almost everything on my computer a...

OS and quicktime are it. Most apps fall under the category of "I'd use it if I had a camera/video camera/dvd burner" but some things recently got booted out like iTunes in favor of mpg123. Oh, I use mail.app which technically is developed and ported from next step but that's just details.

This is it baby. There are times when I've toyed with the idea of 2 ghz but for linux only and when I go that route I loose some things I love. The ease of use, the commercial apps, the Macintosh community. I might consider making my main machine Linux if I could get Photoshop for it (gimp isn't...

I use it for the same stuff every other mac user uses it for... distilling moonshine, props in kinky fetish videos, hacking government servers and cooking eggs. I keep requesting to be in 'Switch' commercials but they just laugh at me. My self esteem is so low because of those stupid Apple...

My mom is a photographer for a company she co-owns and they have another twist to the question of good size (physical) for media. When they had their lower quality (2.5 mega pixel) camera they only used 16 - 32 megabite cards even though they used so many of them. It would have been more...

I read this article too :) and was looking for commentary on it here because I'm not exactly sure what it will mean for a student developer like myself. I've always had mistrust for The Reg so what do they mean that a windows machine could use the shading of QE? That doesn't make any sense.

A couple people mentioned this: But the great thing about the OSS is that a work around would be found in less time than it took to develop the new "standard". If you've got a spare weekend, read www.opensource.org/halloween. The first halloween article is an internal memo which is annotated...

Some may be true but some is either opinion or just FUD. He is so arrogant to boldify ANY Apple OS, but that's not true at all. I'm thinking here of the XServe and unlimited licences which drive multi user servers close to Linux levels. What exactly is he trying to prove with this? Anyone...

Sure, and actually, this is the first time I've noticed it saying stuff about package is not in the repository. it seems to go through all the packages like this: ? dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/fvwm2-2.4.4-1.info ? dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm/fvwm2-2.4.4-1.patch ...

I know what he's talking about. Fortunately, I use mpg123 so this didn't affect me. The problem he is talking about is that when you download iTunes3 you have to re create play lists and I even had a lot of my ID tags lost :confused: I thought that was part of the mp3 so unless iTunes...

I'm not a *nix user, despite my underpants. ;) I however think that *nix users are awesome. I have give respect for all unix users until they give me reason not to like them. We are on the same side, as far as I'm concerned and while I could probably use a unix machine, it would probably own...

Yeah I loved Oscar but someone in my family, I think it was my sister deleted some important stuff so that was bad ;) I never use the trash can any more. I customized my tool bar to have a delete button and eject button and I find that more enjoyable. Only problem I find is when I use...

This will be great to have an alternative, however how is this going to be different than openoffice.org? They have a head start, they plan to go cocoa (verses java) and it will be free no matter what. I guess I did read that the star office will have fonts and technologies which need to be...

But that seems to be just email which means if all your family members have websites, you may have to share yours to get them all up.

If the question was should Apple make a browser, I'd have to say no. Or at least lend Chimera developers but let it keep it's spirit. Then just bundle it with the OS, like they do with IE without changing anything. But the more interesting question would be, how does Apple make it it's own...

I tend to agree that .mac is way too M$. But I don't understand at all why people don't expect to buy 10.2. When was the last paid upgrade? 1.0, a year and a half ago. I have not seen any solid arguments as to why it should be free other than 'I don't wanna, boo hoo hoo'.
