  1. Re:Better focus or Mac to be axed? on Apple Creates new iPod and Macintosh Divisions · · Score: 1

    Alpine will be making an adaptor cable that allows an alpine head unit to control an iPod. That way you can stick the iPod in your glovebox and select songs to play from the Alpine's screen.

  2. Doesn't look like 7 on Developers Simulate Macintosh System 7 in Flash · · Score: 2, Insightful

    More like 5 or 6. Windows and menubar in 7 have shading.

  3. Re:Shitty, Yet Doable on EA To Get Exclusive NFL Player Rights? · · Score: 1

    So is that the official word? That players lose the right to license their likeness when they join the NFLPA? Do they have to ask the association whenever they get thier photo taken? Sounds pretty restrictive to me and if so, you may be right that the association doesn't really represent the players.

  4. Re:Press Release on Comcast Fires TechTV Staff · · Score: 1

    "Well Screen Savers is going to suck without Leo or Patrick. Unless they hire Wil Wheaton. He sure made for entertaining shows when he hosted it. I really watched the show religiously until it cut back to the hour format and 'dumbed down'. Now I hardly ever watch it."

    You've GOT to be kidding me. Do you think he would EVER work for G4 again?

  5. Re:Its a good thing comcast didn't buy disney.. on Comcast Fires TechTV Staff · · Score: 1

    "Princess Mononoke won an academy award"

    No, it didn't. One of Miyazaki's other films did.

  6. Hardest twitch game? on Tough Love - Can A Game Be Too Hard? · · Score: 1

    Robotron.

  7. Re:Error. on Apple Patented by Microsoft · · Score: 5, Funny

    "When corrected that money does not in fact grow on trees, but rather on bushes and shrubs"

    Would that be a microsoft hegemony?

    "hedge o money"?

    nevermind.

  8. checked made4mac on apple.com? on Does a DVI KVM Solution Exist? · · Score: 1

    This one would just require a ADC-DVI connector between the PC and the switch.

    For more choices, go here and search "kvm adc" or "kvm dvi"

  9. Re:bad updates on Security Updates, Notices for Mac OS X · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I ran the updater on 2 macs at home and now I can't file share between them at all, cool! Now THAT is security!

    I'm afraid of doing the update on my g5 office mac. I can't afford to loose filesharing, but now that the exploit is "published" all kinds of lemurs are gonna be trying to find the unpatched macs to exploit.

  10. Re:Missing: Basic Features on Apple Releases Major iTunes Update · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hehe, I love this. He busts on party shuffle as superfluous but then bitches that iTunes doesn't have the EXACT features that party shuffle provides. Classic.

  11. Re:This whole limit of computers... on Apple Releases Major iTunes Update · · Score: 2, Informative

    Toast also burns audio CDs with CD-TEXT so that compatible players can display artist/song/album labels.

  12. Re:OS X on First Ten Programs on New Install? · · Score: 1

    All depends on what you use it for, since I do web design and multimedia, my osx box gets these 10 first:

    Dreamweaver
    DVD Studio Pro
    Final Cut Pro
    Fire
    Firefox
    Flash
    Font Reserve
    Illustrator
    Photoshop
    Stuffit Standard

  13. A birthday celebration... on iTunes One Year Anniversary Sparks Comparison · · Score: 1

    ...but you can't buy "birthday" from the beatles on iTunes.

  14. Re:The biggest problem on iTunes One Year Anniversary Sparks Comparison · · Score: 1

    Publishing rights, not recordings. If someone wants to record a beatles song, they have to pay a royalty to jackson. So putting beatles recordings on iTunes is not jacksons decision at all.

    BTW, jackson merged his "publishing" buisness that owns the songs with a sony company, then took a collateral loan against it, so if he defaults on the loan, he will probably have to sell his interest in the joint publishing business to pay it off. Which would mean that sony would own the publishing rights solely.

  15. Re:Erm... on Bungie Co-Founder Tries New Approach, Licenses Halo Engine · · Score: 1

    Matt left? Wow, the crew is really splintered now. I met them all at trade shows and although Jason and Alex were always personable, Matt was by far the friendliest to the fans.

  16. Re:Erm... on Bungie Co-Founder Tries New Approach, Licenses Halo Engine · · Score: 1

    I wonder if there is anyone left from bungie the company at bungie the studio.

  17. Re:These are bad? on Hardware Manufacturers Making PC Gaming Too Elite? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I belive DNF requires a time machine to play.

  18. Re:What? on Hardware Manufacturers Making PC Gaming Too Elite? · · Score: 1

    The hardware manufacturers give the devopers free next-gen hardware, which the developers are so impressed with that they code their games to require the new hardware.

  19. Re:I wouldn't touch her with yours. on Bachelor Contest Winner Chooses PS2, Not Girl · · Score: 2, Funny

    She looked blond to me, maybe they were referring to her roots.

  20. Re:Quake Movies... on Machinima - Spielbergs with a Joystick · · Score: 1

    The first animation I saw like this was made in Doom or Doom II (can't remember which) around 97. I think it was called "Talk Show" and instead of using a standard map, they made a thier own talk show set with the doom editing tools.

  21. Re:Updated to FCP HD and looking at Xsan on Apple Announces New Pro Software · · Score: 1

    goMac, do they think that it will be comparable to AfterEffects? Honestly, when I saw the announcement the first thing I thougt was that Apple knows Adobe is gonna kill off Mac AE.

  22. Re:What to view it on? on Apple Announces New Pro Software · · Score: 1

    If you are editing HD content for broadcast, it is very likely (like discovery channel) that you will be asked to shovel that content to dvd as well. With DVD SP handling the conversion, it will probably faster and smoother than if you exported from FCP to the smaller format of DVD.

  23. Re:Actually, your cause and effect might bekinda o on Apple Announces New Pro Software · · Score: 1

    I suggest you take a look at the latest machines, they are far from "glitzy plasicky [sic] crap". The G5 tower is a work of art and the current iMac is an ergonomic success.

  24. Re:Mean while... on SGI Sells Alias Subsidiary to Accel-KKR · · Score: 4, Funny

    Can a fully-3D online Safeway store with advanced texture mapping, particle physics and inverse-kinematics be far off?

  25. Re:shouldnt this be installed in a honda civic... on iPod Mini Custom Installation In A Ford Explorer · · Score: 1

    Pimp my Ride had West Coast Custom put an 8-track in a guys car on a recent episode. Best part was, it was a HOME model.
