  1. Umm on Yahoo Launches Dashboard · · Score: 1

    Is it really that expensive to at least come up with new names when you are copying products? Yes i know they bought Konfabulator which apple ripped off half the concept from. But I guess things are now even if Yahoo ripped off the Dashboard concept. But seriously, how much would it cost to get a branding company to come up with something else to call it?

  2. Which? on Yahoo Follows Google on Mobile Search · · Score: 4, Funny
    the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Internet media company Yahoo!

    Oh. That Yahoo. I was wondering what they did.

    Oh please, that's nothing. Proust filled 6 whole books with what he was thinking about while eating a cookie.

    Nope. Entourage doesn't see Public Folders/Calenders. It just does some of the free/busy tricks. But not being aboe to see Public Folders and company wide calenders makes it pretty much not any better then the rest of the email clients out there that sort of work with Exchange.

    I want to find a format that generic Windows users can view by low bandwidth streaming video without having to download and install apples quicktime plugin.



    Ummm, maybe this is a bit obvious, but have you thought of Windows Media format?

  6. Re:I love it... on "Seamless" Integration of Mac OS X w/ Active Directory · · Score: 1

    Then Apple shouldn't have ads saying that this works. That's what people are annoyed at Apple about. It doesn't matter whose fault it is, Apple is the one saying "We can do this!" when they can't.

    Unfortunately I think he wanted something a bit more helpful then an out of date PDF (10.1 instead of 10.2, yes they are very different) and some marketing crap. Have you ever tried to set up a network off info from a brochure?

  8. Re:Ummm...did you try Google? on "Seamless" Integration of Mac OS X w/ Active Directory · · Score: 1

    No offence, but if you haven't done this before (only glanced at the instructions) maybe you shouldn't be giving advice? I have done this before and what you have advised won't get you very far as the AD schema you are logging into has to be tweaked a bit, and the appropriate mappings set on the client side. Also doesn't remove the problem of apple's instructions requiring you to have OS X Server.

  9. Re:It relies on LDAP on "Seamless" Integration of Mac OS X w/ Active Directory · · Score: 1

    Actually the tricky bit is getting the OSX home directories to work right. Or at least that's the problem that I and several other people have run into.

  10. Re:Tunneling Samba over SSH from OS X on Using Networked Home Directories with Mac OS X? · · Score: 1

    If you look on the apple downloads section in the support site, they have a gui app that will redirect any port thru SSH. Just go to the Downloads section for OS X and do a search for SSH.

  11. Re:Wrong, wrong, wrong on New Power Macs Have Crippled DDR Memory? · · Score: 1
    In 6-9 months we'll probably have a 64 bit PowerMac that is very competitive. I can't wait.

    I'm sorry, but I think that this is a widely optimistic time frame. The chip won't even be discussed in a conference for another two months, and you expect it to be shipping in a Mac remade for 64 bit 4-7 months after that? I don't think it will be happening any time next year.

  12. Re:Maya still has greater appeal on non-macs on Maya for Mac OS X · · Score: 1
    What are you talking about? Maya has been out for Linux longer then it's been out for Mac. There is also Softimage XSI, which has been out for Linux for a couple of years.

    And companies like ILM and Sony have been moving to Linux for the creation end AND the rendering end.

    If you don't know what you are talking about, don't post.

    i haven't heard Adobe being as optomistic as you are. They will not commit to any timetables regarding OSX.
