(2) Based on IEEE 802.11g draft specification. Data rates greater than 11 Mbps require an AirPort Extreme Base Station, an AirPort Extreme Card, and an AirPort Extreme-ready computer. To achieve maximum speed of 54 Mbps, all users must use AirPort Extreme Cards. Actual speed will vary based on range, connection rate, and other factors
I completely agree that your last statement about there being nothing obvious about what it is they do needs to be addressed better on the website. This is the concept: A huge library of trance music set up as an online radio station run by listener requests. Imagine the tunes are slashdot comments and what gets played are the ones that get modded up (there is no modding down, it's simple; you like a song, you request it). You can also create favorites lists and retreive information about artists, albums, songs, etc. The user rating system allows you to view most popular songs, least popular songs, recently played, newly added, random, etc. Check out the Sherlock channel and you can see a much better layout (and an idea of what is to come). The fact that the information and functionality is exactly the same regardless what client/interface you use ("web service") is what makes the whole project very interesting. Automated, listener-controlled, online radio.
I would highly recommend checking out this sherlock channel, web site, and the preference panel/menu bar item. Massinova is an extremely innovative concept with some clean and slick implementation. The Sherlock channel is still in develoment but shows the potential for developers wanting to create easy and enjoyable web services.
ok... the http://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/ibook_e.html link is "kaputt". I keep getting "www.rutemoller.com could not be found" Can someone PLEASE post the firmware hack or a mirror of the rutemoller ibook page? Obviously a number of people have gotten through and grabbed it... share?:)
There are all of the supported video cards, screen specs, etc, etc. Apparently, you can use a plain-ol' Radeon 8500 with a single DVI output to acheive the huge resolution. But with a Fire GL4, you have to connect both of the screen's DVI cables to both of the card's DVI heads. (odd for one and not the other...) Plays friendly with Apples, Penguins and Winders.:)
The powermac was updated more recently than the iMac-- not by much, by if you're going in order. Actually, the iMac has never been updated since since re-inception in january. If one or the other is up for an update, it's the iMac.
Time spent fixing: A normal enterprise-level user's time actually spent solving a problem would be greater than their IT guy's time actually spent solving the problem. And if it isn't that way, they should either swap jobs or get a new IT guy.
hmmm... so are you saying that the home user's time in maintenance/upkeep doesn't have an attributable value? The enterprise-level user can at least call their IT dept and have problems dealt with quicker than they could do themselves.
time = money:
v=(w((100-t)/100))/c
v = value of an hour w = person's hourly wage t = tax rate c = cost of living
The old-school key command screen grab won't work while the DVD player is running. (it just beeps at you...) Using Grab actually pops up a warning telling you that it can't grab anything while the DVD player is running. Bummer eh? Snapz Pro can grab shots from a DVD though... so what does that mean?
yes, I think you've discovered the fundamental problem in all web sites! Designers have been too concentrated on creating their web sites and not on designing their users! --Gosh, i have all of this content... if I could design the perfect person to view it, what would that person be like?
Slashdot Mirror
The Mac Observer has been keeping count...
Free or paid upgrade?
>>it doesn't have firewire 800 (or even 400 for that matter,) a must have for any DVD burning device.
It does have firewire, it's just Sony's 4-pin iLink variety. They're the two farthest right holes in the back panel photo.

Does anyone have a mirror of macparts.de/ibook or post the firmware script? ye ol' German site is ka-poot.
This post says "RageM6" looks like what you're supposed to have to enable spanning.
This one tells you how to revert. Good luck!
In contrast, with Windows, you only see a posting related to a single vulnerability twice - once by the discoverer and once by Microsoft.
...seperate sources, always in that order.
