    iTUNES naming tracks issue

    The difference between an audio and data CD/DVD is not the media. It is the disc format that you burn onto the media.

    Best Lightscribe Media?

    I have tested my LaCie Lightscribe DL DVD±R drive that I installed internally and it works like gangbusters. Burning the label takes a lot longer than burning a full CD but its cool.

    answers.com widget ?¿ good bad indifferent?

    Poorly written Widgets can eat CPU cycles and RAM faster that a Photoshop Gaussian blur as well as spew out GBs of scratch files in some cases. Well written Widgets are an entirely different matter and will use only a modicum of CPU or memory and then only when they are actually running...

    HD full, now won`t boot!

    Any time the free space on a drive formatted Mac OS Extended falls below 15% the probability of possibly irreparable file system damage increases dramatically.

    Items Necessary on Boot Volume?

    The short answer is NO. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of visible and invisible folders and files that have to be on the boot volume and are not included in the System folder and then there is the issue of ownership and permissions. It is possible to move a User's home folder and the...
