  1. Last years news - today on Bill Gates: Cellphone will Beat iPod · · Score: 1

    Since Apple and Motorola are delivering a iTMS based player/phone here soon. If I were Bill, I would be a bit worried being late to market, again (Longhorn) ;-)
    Get Ready To Call ITunes Dec 2004
    Here is a pre-production picture of it

  2. Re:Before it gets Slashdotted... on Microsoft Reverses Stand on Discrimination Bill · · Score: 1

    I thought the spacing issue was an anti-firefox feature ;-)

    ie. It look perfect on IE

    e-i-e-i-o

  3. Re:Can you imagine on Apple Release Mega Patch to Fix 19 Flaws · · Score: 3, Informative

    Umm this is for the last version there, spanky ;-) It would be like M$ releasing a patch for XP the week after (Windows 2007/Win XPv2/Win Super Extreme) is launched.

    LOL! You said SPOTLIGHT

  5. Re:Strange press... on Microsoft To Add A Black Box To Windows · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hah! What would you do if you had 64 billion dollars and were going to be a year late with a competing product? Buy a few ZDnet's and start rolling out the vaporware I say!

    Damn "Web Gammer Nazi's"!

  8. I hate the word "Blogging" on Business Press Pays Attention To Blog Industry · · Score: 1
    I would first off like to say that I hate the word "blogging". The first time I saw it I thought it was something "new and exciting". Just shook my head in disgust when I found out it was "glorified HTML".

    I avoided the weblog thing not really seeing the value. One day I realized I have a bunch of information I would like to post but it really did not "deserve" a full webpage dedicated to it... Duh!

    Hell it may not deserve a "blog" but here is The iMovie FAQ News If nothing else it looks "clean and neat".

  9. You call yourself technical? Fix it yourself! on If The Problem Persists, Reboot The Car · · Score: 1
    For my car I use The Flashscan calibration tuner. Here are some screenshots

    Besides diagnosis... you get to "over-clock" your A/F ratios, shift points, delete emission devices (not that I would ever do that). All kinds of fun stuff!

    Hell... this year I have a an O2 wideband that plugs right into the black box on the scanner software

    Dang you beat me to it!

  11. Re:The hole in our Apple theories on Solaris 10 Released · · Score: 1

    Let's comapre Sun and Apple stock over the last year and decide who may have a better business plan...
    Ummmm Yeah...

  12. When? - As soon as you get the money on When Is There a Good Time to "Switch" to Apple? · · Score: 1

    I switched about 3 years ago. At the time I had (2) Linux boxen and (3) M$ boxes. Now I have (1) Windows system running 98, for my old PC games. (1) Linux firewall and (3) Macs!

    I freaking LOVE them. I work on XP all day and look forward to going home to get on the "good" systems. ;-)

  13. Re:Quicktime is cross-platform on Video Formats for non-Windows Users? · · Score: 4, Informative

    You can also un-nag QT by setting your system date ahead when prompted to upgrade to the pro version.

    Pick a time in 2008 - click OK - Do it again in 2008 ;-)

  14. My export comparision page on Video Formats for non-Windows Users? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Comparing different export formats (DivX, Real, MPEG-1, MPEG-4, 3ivX, Sorenson Pro, Windows Media, etc..)

    As you may imagine I am a QT/Sorenson fan but, a good MPEG compressor is nice and only a little larger if you cut the bitrate down.

  15. Re:Apple CPUs catching up....? WTF? on Where's My 10 Ghz PC? · · Score: 1

    Actually the VERY BEST thing is I do not have to run windows ;-)

  16. Re:Apple CPUs catching up....? WTF? on Where's My 10 Ghz PC? · · Score: 1

    Yeah and the REEEAALLYY cool thing is my 3 year old, dual 533 MHz G4 is faster than my buddies new Dell. He hates that!

    Look for Dual G5's at 3 GHz on the 10th of January. ;-)

  17. Re:So how does someone do this? on Laser Painting Could Lead to 25-Year Prison Term · · Score: 1

    I think if I told you "exactly" how to do it I would get a friendly visit from the FBI or some-such.

    My question: Why in the HELL would you do it, if your NOT a terrorist?

  18. Re:H.264 on Comparing Codecs for 2004 · · Score: 1

    >Prediction: Apple will ship excellent working h264 codec, movie industry will adopt it and we won't have to buy new decks for more quality dvd movies (e.g. if we watch on PC/Mac) and people here will flame it being closed source and will suggest Ogg Theora.

    Agreed! ;-)

  19. Re:Time to move on? on Comparing Codecs for 2004 · · Score: 1

    Well even with broadband. I am not fan of downloading 200 megs when I could just D/L 20.

    If M$ does not screw up the AVC standard like they did with the first MPEG-4 one, we will all be happy campers in Mac and Linux land.

  20. Re:Miller's style on Sin City Trailer · · Score: 1

    Look again dork. It has that "Pleasantville" effect. Like REDS on black and white...

  21. How does that go again? on AOL Making Media Player, Music Store · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah... Too little - TOO LATE!

    Should have partnered with Apple like HP did.

  22. I just cashed my first Google check yesterday! on Google Battles Fraudulent Clicks · · Score: 1
    Running ads - I mostly did it to make up for the cost of bandwidth per month, since everything for the FAQ was out of pocket and the site has grown rather large with a significant amount of downloads. The check for October was a LOT more $$$ than I expected and I am not having family and friends go there and click for me either.

    The other thing I noticed when running the ads that I am "almost" instantaneously updated in Goggle and my ranking has increased a bit higher.

    Now if YOU guys want to go there and click ads that would be great ;-) but it is an Apple/iMovie site so I should only have about 6% worth of interest from here :-(

  23. I can see it now.... on Are Blogs the Future of Journalism? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It has been posted on 5+ blog sites. "News verified"

    Instant Urban Legend News thanks to RSS and Google... LOL

  24. Yeah! Another reason to buy Mac on HD-DVD Wins Support of 4 Studios · · Score: 1
    AVC/H.264/MPEG-4 part 10/HD DVD format - whatever you want to call it... built in to Tiger

    Now we can only hope M$ does not fuck it up like they did with old MPEG-4 format.
