Infused with.Mac? Have you ever used.Mac? This is a completely different kettle of fish.
.Mac is an Internet services package that once upon-a-time included Antivirus, but now it doesn't. However, it does offer remote backup (1GB), one-click homepages from iPhoto/iWeb, one-click Podcasting (GarageBand) as well as acting as a IMAP mail server and sync server so that bookmarks, system preferences, application preferences, calendars, contacts and bookmarks remain sync'd across multiple Macs.
On the DESIGN page, looking the image, it looks like the new MacBooks support display spanning instead of the expected 'mirroring'.
Dual Purpose
Get the big picture when you join your MacBook with either a stunning 20- or 23-inch Apple Cinema Display by way of a crystal-clear connection miniDVI port. (Requires miniDVI to DVI adapter, sold separately.)
I work in a camera shop and have the same reaction, I don't really like the cameras (in terms of UI, features, design and etc) - however... do bear in mind that Sony optically are ok, and certainly teaming up with Zeiss isn't hurting. Moreover, Sony CCDs are used in Canon, Nikon etc licensed to 3td party makes.
I read that the previous 8MP cameras, the Canon Pro1, Sony F828, Konica Minolta A2, and the Nikon 8700 all used the same Sony 8MP CCD.
Did you read about the CCD failures a while back? Something about the adhesive going bad? Yep, it's a Sony CCD - but also, it affected other makes too, including Canon.
I wouldn't touch a Sony camera with a barge pole, but the R1 looks promising - though personally, I'd stick with my EOS 350D:D
Correct me if I'm wrong, but antibiotics will do bugger all. This is flu - a type of virus. Antibiotics won't do anything at all, unless you get secondary pathogenic infections. Pffft.
Anti-viral meds to exist, and the British government is stockpiling the drugs, but I think they only have enough for a half* the population.
ry dragging a file called "README" onto textedit or safari Ok, done that... it opens fine in text edit, but it doesn't let me open it in Safari. Understandably, since it's a web browser.
I don't really know what you're on about... but maybe you are correct?
-1 Uninformed?
You're right, by default, it works like that.
Ever heard of spring loaded folders? You drag a file over a folder, hold for a pre-determined time, et voila.. the folders open. You can navigate through several nested folders this way. This was even available in OS9!
I would definitely like to see Apple incorporate the Windows-like mouse-only behaviour though.. DOH!
OS X's drag and drop is superior IMHO. Try dragging a file onto an app in XP to open in... eh sorry, no go.
I do this in OSX all the time, for example, usually HTML files open in Safari, but sometimes I want to open them in a text editor, I simply drag the HTML file onto TextEdit! Tada!
To answer your gripe, you can do as another poster suggested set up a hot corner etc. Or... if you're usiing a multi button mouse, you can bound Exposé to say, the middle button. Thus, dragging a file from 2 windows can be done with 1 hand, via the mouse.
http://www.xvsxp.com/ runs a fairly decent comparison between the software-side of the rivalry.
Check it out, it's pretty awesome, and you learn things that you wouldn't necessarily pickup from reviews and what not.
whoa. a troll.
Macs aren't expensive - comparison's been done over and over again, they are roughly on-par with PC's, what's more, the intangibles - things like the user experience, iLife apps and OS are worth a lot more.
Please, grow up.
I guess this is a Windows only test?
I have an eyeTV USB, and although console play is terrible (the lag is 2-3 seconds) I still love it as a TV device, and also an analog capture device - though the quality isn't great, it will suffice.
elgato makes some awesome products:)
Well, I hope it supports the Mac iPods because plugging them into Wndows reformats them.
That would piss off... well not that many people, but still. I wonder how they're goi~g to integrate the new" music with the databases of existing music.
Are BT going to have to take iTunes apart in order to get it to talk?
Personally, I think this is an absolute crap idea. I'd be extremely surprised if it ever takes off and manages to provide an adequate level of service.
Well, in the UK - slow as we may be - since other European countries/Australia had the system called CHIP AND PIN, and basically instead of signing (which, I - since I work in retail - check every time) they enter their PIN number.
Much safer and reliable IMHO.
The technology is slowly working its way into retail, and I think it'll be fully implemented by the end of the year.
ah but they are!
At least in my iMac.
Go into Terminal and type:
drutil info
This proceeded to give me the following:
Vendor Product Rev
SONY DVD RW DW-U10A A43i
Interconnect: ATAPI
SupportLevel: Apple Shipping
Cache: 8192k
CD-Write: -R, -RW, BUFE, CDText, Test, IndexPts, ISRC
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW, BUFE, Test
Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
See? DVD+R and +RW.
Why Apple doesn't market this I am unsure, but the the superdrive used in my iMac is just SONY DVD+/- R
... or it could be for the fact that you've just restarted your machine for the first time in many weeks/months/years ??
I know usually every time I do a restart it feels like something's changed.
I dunno. Will wait this update out and let all the early adopters get it. Let it sink for a week before jumping to 10.3.3
- "Imagine a professional photographer with a Notebook in his backpack, transfering every image nearly instantaneous from the camera to the notebook, and the notebook uploading them via WLAN to the server"
So this means that the laptop will have to be ON in your bag, draining batteries even when you're not shooting? By the time you've done your shoot, your laptop batteries will be dead. Hurray!
IMHO, FireWire cardreader = is better.. not as sexy as wireless mind, but a hell of a lot more practical and cheaper.
Slashdot Mirror
In short, It isn't anything like OneCare.
www.mac.com is the place to go and get educated.
Good point though, but I think it's a little bit too niche of a market?, but hey, what do I know, since I'm obviously not in the target audience.

It looks sweet.

or... since a lot of newer camers support PictBridge, direct USB implementation, they could just use a USB > iPod Dock cable et voila! :D

you know, you could just get one of them card readers. You can get an All-in-one for 10 over here. And it's USB 2.0.

ahh.. yes. My bad - The batteries are indeed supplied by Sony. *le sigh*
Whoa.. I'll have whatever you're smoking ;) not to be pedantic or anything but iPod = Apple product.
