  1. Re:My iPod on iPod Dissection and Review · · Score: 1

    The iPod was definately not designed for constant file reads. The stainless steel back actually doubles as the heat sink as the device has no other way of releasing heat. A couple of Apple engineers even installed and ran a copy of OS X server on an iPod, of course it died after a week or two.

  2. Re:Scale on iPod Dissection and Review · · Score: 1

    Use a more standard files system, please. To a mac user, HFS *IS* the standard. This device was made for them and not a FAT32 user who thinks that they are the standard.

    You're still waiting for his network computer? It's been out for years, and he's actually making a profit off it. www.thinknic.com

  4. Re:Sheer Incompetence on Adcritic Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    No, a site like AdCritic plows through $7500 a day like candy. Second, that's $7500 only if you can sell off every single ad they serve. That's not even close to possible.

  5. Re:The Joy of Objective-C? on Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    If you don't want to learn Objective-C to program in cocoa, you have other options. There's Carbon (C++). Cocoa will just dramatically speed up your programming. For Cocoa, there's also Java, but most people seem to prefer Objective-C.

    go to connect.apple.com, register for free, download.

  7. Re:It's world-changing! on This is IT? · · Score: 1

    Yes they've been around for a while, but every manufacturer in the world didn't start offering their products in a billion translucent colors until the iMac.

  8. Re:IT's not for you! on This is IT? · · Score: 1

    Don't talk about something you don't know. You're talking abour rual china where most of the people in China *don't* live. The cities have incomes comparable to ones in large US cities. It's like comparing the income of someone in Idaho to someone in NYC.

  9. Re:Windows XP upgrade sounds like a poor idea on InfoWorld says WinXP much slower than Win2K · · Score: 1

    Well people have voted with their wallets, since cnet reports that Windows XP sales have been dissapointing, even with all the "bribes" they've been giving out (free digital camera, ram, cd-r drive, cd-r disk, memory card after rebate with purchase of upgrade)

  10. Re:Luxo Jr. and John Lasseter on Pixar Finally Offers Animated Shorts on Pixar.com · · Score: 1

    Monsters Inc. will be interesting to see as it is Pixar's first non-John Lasseter directed film but rather a John Lasseter protege.

  11. Re:Cool on Pixar Finally Offers Animated Shorts on Pixar.com · · Score: 1

    A Bugs Life is made by Pixar, Disney is only the distributor.

  12. Uh, no on HP's Digital-Audio Entertainment Box · · Score: 1

    Have you actually bothered to click on Apple's hardware page lately? Well, all I see is Metal, and Glossy White! Where's the translucent colors? There are none! Do your homework before posting next time.

  13. Re:on the ipod on Slashback: Drives, Pods, OEMs · · Score: 1

    And the first easter egg has already been discovered on the iPod. scroll to About, hit select for a few seconds, and you get Breakout!

  14. Re:Apple Hype on Slashback: Drives, Pods, OEMs · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. The iPod uses a 1.8" drive that is way smaller than a notebook drive. And yes, it costs $400 for that drive.

  15. Re:Question... on Anti-Terrorism Law Passed · · Score: 1

    It's already happening, as reported on CNN. People in this country being detained for weeks with no reason given other than the fact that they have dark skin and being released incredibly beat up. Now with this, they'll be detained even longer get beat up even more.
