  1. Re:OmniWeb 5.0 Public Beta on Apple Releases Safari 1.2 and Java 1.4.2 · · Score: 1

    I tried it out, and it is pretty nice... The only catch for me is I have about 100 cookies in safari with passwords I can't remember.

    If anyone wants me to pay to stop using a free product (mail.app, safari, etc...) they should have a seamless import from those applications so that all of the rules and cookies and stuff are taken care of.

    when your engine blows up, you have to pay quite a bit to replace it

    that is very good news...

    Also I hope it fixes Mail.app... that program has been sucking pretty bad since I updated to 10.3

  6. Re:Apple sets the pace on iTMS Named Fortune's Product Of The Year · · Score: 1

    but Dell is the only other music store (walmart, buymusic, napster, coke) (or does napster make money off of their player) that has a connected player... and all the other stores use WM files which can be played on another player...

  7. Re:Apple sets the pace on iTMS Named Fortune's Product Of The Year · · Score: 1

    That's what I don't get... iTMS is a pretty good idea, but Apple keeps telling us they aren't making money off of it.

    So some guy is sitting around and hears about iTMS and says "Lets copy that" even though THEY AREN'T GOING TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF IT

    especially when they are trying to compete by undercutting apple's money losing price

  8. Re:Better future? on iTMS Named Fortune's Product Of The Year · · Score: 1

    Every time Apple tells us how many songs they have sold, they also note that x% were sold as albums... and x is usually pretty high

  9. Re:QuickTime hacked, not Apple DRM cracked on Apple's iTunes DRM Cracked? · · Score: 1

    I like how the link answer's the article's question... No the DRM wasn't cracked... Or if you count that cracked, it shipped cracked

  10. Textbooks are the last thing... on Texas High School Gets iBooks · · Score: 1

    schools should be spending money on today...

    My school bought new textbooks every 10 years... My senior year I had a brand new english textbook (exactly the same as the old one) and all the others were 10 years old... Government and Economics textbooks were both completely out of date (because they were poorly written... should be something that doesn't go out of date)

    With computers, hopefully there exists (or will exist) a way of having new (well written) resources for all classes... updated to the minute.

  12. Audio Software on Apple Updates iBook Line With G4 Processor · · Score: 1

    They include Sound Studio recording software with the iBooks... which is interesting since they don't have audio in...

    This is pretty good software, esp free, but you gotta buy an iMic from Griffen or some other USB Audio-in dongle to use it (except with the built in mic, but I don't think anyone will be "digitizing their vinyl collection" with the built in mic.

    Oh... it is just conjecture. I get it... state conjecture as fact...

    I gotta try that some time.

  14. Re:You probably like record players, too on Apple Sets Oct. 24th Release For Mac OS X 10.3 · · Score: 1

    Dude, I love my 12" PB, but you know what? the feet fell of of it after 2 weeks, there are scratches in the Aluminum, the wrist rests get dirty, the track pad is getting worn smooth, the space bar is half worn smooth, the screen gets dirty... The left wrist wrest gets annoyingly hot too often, and the fan never comes on...

    I can list of a million things I wish were better about the computer, but there isn't a computer (including your 17"PB) that I couldn't find something I didn't like about...

    um... you over guessed... $3000 not $4000 (still a lot more than 300, but only 10x...) And you can get a computer that is "good enough" for 300 bucks... it just won't be the G5

    maybe it has something to do with the G5 costing 3000 bucks, not 5000

    don't really see the difference... sure there is an Inspiron 230000000 and a 2300000001, but what is the difference between the two?
