Perhaps that has something to do with the updates that have been done to safari. But regardless, if you have the current OS and a current computer, you have the most current safari SO WTF is the problem?
One of the interesting things about the mac OS being able to keep programs open without any running windows is the ability to do things neatly in the background. For example, I often listen to music while working and use iTunes to do it. In the mac OS, I can start music playing and then close the windows, so that iTunes is running the the music is playing, but there are not windows floating about.
Likewise, I can open safari, start a long download and close all the safri windows to do another task and not have them float about.
Same for mail, you can open it, have it set to check for mail every few minutes and just close the main window. Clicking the dock icon opens the main window again, and the dock icon updates when you get new mail.
It's sort of a fundemental difference between mac and windows, in windows, every open window is a new instance of the program. eg. call up 4 IE windows and then open the task manager to see 4 applications for IE. In the mac OS an aplication has one instance and has windows within that instance. I guess it's really a matter of personal opinion, but I like the mac way better. I can't tell you how many times I've been doing research on a windows machine, closed all my browser windows and hit ctl-n (the window equivilent of command-n) to call up a new blank window only to realize that I can't because IE isnt' running anymore.
No, we just know business, and business says you can't keep developing software for free. Developers have to eat. Look, it's $50 for programs that would normaly cost >$150 all together, and on top of that, you can STILL DOWNLOAD the old versions if you are so inclined. As another poster said, MS used to give word away for free too.
Except you're not paying to use it. iTunes still works for me. As does iMovie, iDVD and iPhoto. You're paying for the latest and greatest versions. And you can even DOWNLOAD the old versions FREE. And if they start charging for the latest Safari and the latest iCal, so what? it's not like my version of Safari will stop working instantly. I will use th eold version untill I decide the new features are worth the price. NO ONE IS FORCED TO BUY SOFTWARE.
No, Irony is a high art form that is very difficult to master. I true master can be found by noticing that others are unable to dicerne whether the author is truely serious.
Because, don't you understand EVERYTHING HAS TO BE FREE!!!!!! We can't let 73h 3\/i|_ C0|2P0|247i0|\|5 have money. I paid once, so I should be entitled to FREE updates forever and ever and ever. ME ME ME ME MINE MINE MINE.
My PC shows the microsfot logo on boot, connects to MSN as the default homepage (at least until I changed that) and used WMP by default. Does that mean my computer is a Microsoft computer?
Except here we have this whole article about HP and Apple teaming up for HPs new player and unless I'm reading the press release wrong, HPs player is not the same thing as an iPod. It's based on the technology (read DRM) and be compatible with the iTMS. I think in the case of the iPod, that Apple will be more open to clones, as long as they can retain the edge of being one step ahead of everyone else. Plus, while they do make money off iPod, Apple is still a computer company, so anything which gets their tech and their name out there, is going to bring people one step closer to maybe buying a mac the next time arround. As an anecdotal bit of evidence to this, I have a friend who swore up and down she would never buy a mac. Then when iTunes was released, I convinced her to download it and give it a try. In 2 days, she was hooked on it. This year, she got an iPod, and loves it. And then she saw the stuff on Garageband and some of the other stuff Apple is putting out and she's almost sure that her next computer will be a mac.
Well, given that I haven't heard any stories about Apple telling people they wont licence or give them the nessesary information to add the DRM decoding capabilities to their AAC capable players, that seems to be a fault on the part of the player manufacturers doesn't it?
Come on, if HP can do it, so can Sony, and Rio and all the others.
According to Apple, if a player can support AAC, it should be able ot use iTMS files. Given that you can copy to an unlimited number of iPods, I wonder if a local authorization is given to the player, and if it's something built into the AAC decoders.
One of the largest problems the DOD has faced (and still does) is internal leaks from it's own people. Employees of the DOD for 30 years used to take information and sensaative data out all the time and sell it to other countries. So yes, there is a real and valid reason for this sort of software. spy and counterspy is still a big part of the world, it's just gone more hightech.

maybe because you want to do overclocking that's more of a chalange than changing a setting in your BIOS?

You may not believe it, but it exists. Trust me on this.

That fuction doesn't exist natively (sad to say) however, many thirdparty drivers for mice do include those and many other options.

Where did the iApps get pulled out of the OS? The only one that didn't come with the OS was iDVD.

I don't know why Garageband would require a DVD burner, but iDVD does not require a DVD drive to install.

The minute they released garageband.
Except they're using what ammounts to public information and they're running everyone through this.

If it says HP on the front, as far as the consumer is concerned, it isn't an iPod.
DRM is not inherrently a bad thing. It's how it's implimented that's a bad thing.

I can sync my iPod with multiple machines. All I have to do is set it for manual syncing.
Well, given that I haven't heard any stories about Apple telling people they wont licence or give them the nessesary information to add the DRM decoding capabilities to their AAC capable players, that seems to be a fault on the part of the player manufacturers doesn't it?

YOu can play it on your computer too. And burn it to CD for no additional charge.
So use audio hijack or one of the other digital ripping softwares.

iTunes only supports the iPod?
I don't think so
