  1. Re:Appletalk? on Mac OS X Versus Windows Vista, The Rematch · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The only reason to use Appletalk would be because you have an extremely old printer that didn't do TCP/IP. Appletalk is pretty much dead after OS X came around.

  10. $99 replacement on "iPod's Dirty Secret" · · Score: 0, Redundant

    According to this Slashdot article, Apple will replace any iPod battery for $99.00. "Although the service is $99, they state in the article 'iPod equipment that is sent in for battery service or service requiring other repairs will be replaced with functionally equivalent new, used, or refurbished iPod equipment. You will not receive the same iPod that was sent in for service.' So make sure you back up that music before shipping it off!"

  16. Pops in iTunes on 'Pop' Between Tracks In New iPod · · Score: 1

    I hear pops at various times in iTunes. I believe it to be a RAM or processor issue. It might be possible that the pops heard on iPods is the result of issues involved when the files are transfered to the device. There are data files and it a bit might get dropped here or there when the files are moved via Firewire. But I could be wrong. Look at my first wife.
