  1. Again, Windows copies Mac - only 2 years behind on Windows 7 May Finally Get IPv6 Deployed · · Score: 1

    This has been done on the Mac via Back to my Mac since Leopard (2007).

  2. Re:"D" key? on Ars Technica Reviews Intel iMacs · · Score: 3, Informative

    No, it is not.

    Holding the D key is for booting Apple Hardware Test only. You cannot boot from a CD normally in this way.

    C is still the correct way of booting from CD on intel.

  3. Pararena on Zero-Gravity Sports League In Development · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There was a game for mac, around the time of the Macintosh Classic called Pararena. It was a single player, or network multiplayer game where you have two people in a bowl like arena and two goals, similar to soccer. Two players ride hovering platforms and fly around the arena, trying to get the ball into their goal. If you fall out of the arena, the other player gets a point. If you get knocked out of the arena, the other player gets a point.

    I wasted quite a few days playing that game...

  4. Same in Australia on Businesses To Be Censored on Use of Olympics · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Australia did the same thing for the 2000 Olympics. Existing businesses were not forced to change their name though. (Or perhaps the only place I knew of that had 'olympic' in it was too small to worry about.)

  5. Re:Bluetooth? on Apple Releases Multi-Button "Mighty Mouse" · · Score: 1

    Going on what they've done previously, it would come later.

    However, the mouse is rather large, they may not have room to stuff in the batteries.

  6. Re:"evolution of user-centric design"? on IE7 Bugs and Reviews · · Score: 3, Informative

    Safari already does the dropdown box thing for back/forward.

  7. Re:we have been using sun laptops on Sun Announces Its First Laptop · · Score: 1

    Sun branded, or Solaris running? There have been other companies making laptops which sparcs in them.

  10. They're pretty quick at the Googleplex on Google Delivering Factual Answers · · Score: 1

    This is basically what upstart http://www.factbites.com/ does. Factbites was announced a month or so ago.

  12. Standard TM bags on Advice On Notebook Backpacks? · · Score: 1

    I have one of these. My 15" PowerBook lives in it. It gets used for everything, motorcycling, walking, carry on luggage.

    They're an Australian company, so I'm not sure if you'll be able to get them anywhere else.

  14. Re:Do it with an apple on Where to Spend $1M on a Cluster? · · Score: 5, Informative

    A cluster of storage? Perhaps you mean the Xserve itself.

    They even have a page on clusters.

  15. Re:Shipping on Intel Delays Release of 4Ghz Chips · · Score: 4, Informative

    The new iMacs are not delayed to clear out inventory. You cannot buy an iMac now (At least in Australia). The production schedule for the current iMac was dependant on IBM producing G5 processors on target. IBM has not been. G5 iMac is delayed.

    I would think Intel is having the same problems as IBM has been having. They just can't get the yeild required for a mass market.
