1. Adobe dumped Preimere because Final Cut kicked Premiere's ass and Premiere for Mac was no longer profitable. It's that simple. Photoshop and the CS suite are profitable for Adobe, they are not going to dump them. 2. Did someone actually suggest that the ability to run Windows on Macs (via...

OMFG. That was my reaction. I never thought I'd see the day. I thought all the predictions of this over the months were insane. I was wrong. For me, this is a HUGE thing. I hate Windows as much as the next fanatic, but the fact is we live in a Windows world. I have Windows clients. For one...

I LOVE the scrolly ball and HATE the side clicking. Completely useless side clicking. Could not have been designed worse if they had put the button underneath the mouse. In the end, I gave it up because I really have become used to five (properly placed) buttons. Also, I had a small bit of...

I know full well about shared directories and that's not a solution, it's a clumsy workaround. It's a restrictive approach that doesn't account for a variety of situations. And by the sounds of it, I'm not alone in my disdain for the current model. Thanks for the feedback all. I might Tinker...

First, I did do some searching on the forums and didn't find a suitable answer, so here I am with yet another permissions thread. I understand how permissions work, more or less, so no issues there. My problem is that I hate the whole concept and want to find a way around it. I understand...

I could throw out a very long-winded answer, and there are a lot of reasons, but some primary ones are: Twenty years ago Apple made a decision (actually, Jean-Louis Gasse) to appease its shareholders and go for "profit margin" over "market share". Big mistake. They made a lot of money and the...

I can only say that I vouch for Disk Warrior. It has saved me every single time. I'm surprised DW didn't do it for you. Do you have the latest version?

As ususal, I fall for this every damn time. I actually read four pages worth before I figured out how stupid I was. I was like, huh, is Apple moving backwards?

That's what so nice about the iPod line. There's a product for every need. I grabbed a 3G 30GB model a while back to fit my whole library and to use for miscellaneous file shuttling from work to home and to/fro clients. For the wife I got her a cute mini, which is plenty big for her...

The latest patch as of yesterday includes the Universal Binary for World of Warcraft. Plays great on my 20" IntelMac. I don't know how to show frame rate, so I can't show definiteively FPS. However, at highest res of 1650x1050 it plays well even with all settings maxed out. I'd say 20-30 fps...

I admit, this site has baffled me for a couple of years now. I already told my story way back in this thread, so I won't go over it again. But it is interesting. The site is on hoax sites and there's a lot of evidence indicating it's a fake. I'm in total agreement that it is very odd you never...

I grabbed a fully loaded 20". Max RAM, best vid card, etc. Here's some quick takes, with no thorough testing. Photoshop is perfectly usable. As Steve said, if it's not your full time job doing Photoshop work, you'll be fine until the UB. Carrara/Hexagon. GUI is not as smooth, I'd guess...

What's a "Virus"?

Didn't the Quicktime thing have its own name? Ignore me, this is getting off track.

When I first saw this site over a year ago, I immediately thought it was a hoax. Everything about it screamed hoax. So I made a bet with my coworker. We called them and started placing an order. We were on the phone for an hour going over details. We took it all the way to the end, eventually...

I'm so tired of these tests. They are utterly meaningless. Apple's numbers are junk and these numbers are junk. I want to see info like at www.barefeats.com. A "Floating Point" score of 67 doesn't mean anything to anyone. What matters is how long my iMovies take to render, my MP3s to rip, my...

That's an interesting one. I haven't come across that. You may want to try this site: www.2-pop.com Have you tried removing the embedded markers and recreating them in DVDSP?

What Mikuro said.

Thoroughly impressed. Glad to see it's not a crappy hack port type app. It runs like glass on my G5 and I haven't found any weird things or bugs yet. Super cool app.
