    Mac.Down

    I just noticed when mail.app was asking for my password. Come on Apple, what gives?

    .mac down... again... ?

    Since I haven't been able to backup, check my mail, etc., Apple SHOULD credit me for the lost productivity. After all, I'm paying for this.

    Competition to Chimera out on Windows / Linux

    Galeon uses the gecko engine as well. It also uses the Gnome environment so its to Linux what Chimera is to OS X. And its had close buttons on the tabs since it came out.

    Could this be the New Mac architecture?

    If AMD were to produce a CPU for Apple, it would probably be very similar if not the same, as the X86 processor. Cost containment would be the reason. Which would be good for Apple as well. A less expensive processor makes for a less expensive computer. If they do go with AMD and use the same...

    Could this be the New Mac architecture?

    <quote>I really don't belive it would be x86 architecture - I think it would be either Intel or AMD making a processor FOR Apple (ala IBM PowerPC G3 when they where ALSO making x86 processors for PCs), not Apple using an "Off-the shelf" processor from Intel or AMD...</quote> If AMD were to...

    I can't subscribe to iCal calendars

    I tried to subscribe to the US Holidays Calendar for my iCal but I kept getting an error message. The only thing I can think of is I'm behind a firewall here at work. I'll try again when I get home tonight. Is anybody else having this problem?

    Are new iBooks including Jaguar?

    I'm thinking about upgrading my iBook to the 700mhz iBook since its faster, I want the combo drive, and it supports QE. I'm running Jaguar on my G3 500mhz already. Do the iBooks come with Jaguar bundled or will I have to order the Jaguar update cd for $20?

    Jaguar LOSES speed on my G4 PowerMac

    type this at the command line: ps aux Now scroll up to the top of the listing. The third column will show you the CPU utilization. Scroll down and see if there is a process that seems to be dominating the CPU utiliztion. Something like 50% or higher. If there is something, the second...

    OS X 10.2 on a G3 iMac - worth it?

    I upgraded Monday. Its a definite speed improvement. Not earth-shattering but enough to definitely notice the difference. Windows do open up faster. The Mail.app is 100 times better than before. I also like the look of Jaguar more. The "bubble" look of Aqua is more refined, it has a "flatter"...

    Address Book in Jaguar

    I upgraded Mozilla this morning to 1.1 and apparently when I did that, the default browser switched back to Internet Explorer. I just switched back to Mozilla and the Address Book brings up Mozilla.

    Address Book in Jaguar

    I was adding contacts to my Address Book in Jaguar and noticed that if you click on an address you have the ability to map it. I thought cool! So I did it and Internet Explorer started up with mapquest. Well and good, except I don't want to use IE, I want to use Mozilla. I even have Mozilla set...

    10.2 Experiences, what you expected? It sure blows me away!

    I'm interested in knowing how well it performs on the G3 iBook. 10.1.5 is rather slow by my standards and I'm hoping that Jaguar improves it. If its a noticeable improvement, I'll buy it.

    Do you pay all your software ?

    I can't figure out whether to pay my software in cash or by check.:) Seriously, I don't buy too much software. I've been spoiled by open source. There's just too much software out there for free. I haven't found a commercial product that I couldn't live without.

    Jaguar is $50 off at Amazon!

    Yes, i see it now. But I swear it wasn't there this morning.

    Jaguar is $50 off at Amazon!

    On the rebate form, you have to check the product you are getting a rebate on. There is a listing for OS X 10.1 but not for OS X 10.2. It makes me wonder if there is a mistake in having Jaguar with a link to a rebate.

    Sun to push Star Office for OS X!

    There will finally be some serious progress with a native Quartz-based Open Office/Star Office on OS X. Sun is putting their weight behind it along with Apple. There is a story here: http://news.com.com/2100-1001-946714.html One of the Sun guys says he would like to see Apple bundle it...

    Switch campaign - the other way round

    I'm an Information Technology Analyst for a personnel department in a local government, which means I'm a Lan Administrator, Tech Support, Programmer, babysitter, etc. I would have loved tohave put an Apple on everyone's desk, but it just wasn't feasible. So I ordered 20 Dell Pentium 4's 1.8ghz...

    Next Steps (pun not intended) for Mac OS X

    1. More speed. I'm running a 500mhz G3 iBook so I can't expect too much. I'm very interested in how Jaguar will improve the performance on an iBook like mine. 2. Virtual Desktops. I've got this capability on my Linux box and its great. Apps can stay out of each others way and allow you to...
