    I had this video for awhile because I am training to be a Apple Portable / Desktop Tech, If you purchuse the $299 Apple Service Training you get this and any other Take apart video for free. THe person that leaked this could be in some serious trouble..

    I just dont like the Square scroll bars, they look kinda cheesy, but I think its just the theme they used. I cant wait until Gnome has the funtionality that Macosx has. Oh wait it does....

    well, look at an XBOX, and I take it to a lan party all the time, it has a celeron 733 with a geforce 3, oh and a 10g harddrive with 64mb ram. IF it was meant to play games it would... BUT ITS NOT... GET OVER IT.......

  5. Re:Redundant? on iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, iLife '05, iWork · · Score: 0, Redundant

    add wireless, just like any dell, far better then any dell because its beautiful, small, has DVI, firewire, usb 2.0, and a slot loading drive. Also it has Macosx, which is bY FAR the best OS on the planet. This machine is what every geek needs.

    Hell I can even add internal bluetooth.

  6. Re:Rebranding on Samsung Announces Zero Dead Pixel Policy · · Score: 2, Informative

    thats because when they are testing the cpus, they test them before certain things are setup, they test them with a certain amount of cache for example, if it passes it can be sold for more money if it fails they have to reduce the cache until its stable, either making it a xeon, p4 or celeron. (depending on the cache and bus speeds they set) since all 3 cpus use the same core and very similar pin setups they can test these before the final product is done.

  7. Re:Not for me. TV is a great background activity. on Internet Use Cuts Socializing Time · · Score: 1

    I agree, I have a mythtv computer, and two LCD screens, one screen is used for tv watching and the other is my computer screen! So when i am on the web its nice to have the tv playing just to relax. I get so bored watching tv in my living room because I wish i could browse the web at the same time. Nothing better then pausing tv when the commerical comes on then browsing the web in the duration.

  11. Resident evil on PlayStation is 10 years Old Today · · Score: 3, Informative

    Resident evil is what made me buy the playstation, I remember going to my local video game store and dropping down 399 or 299.. forget the price for my shiny new psx. and then going to kmart and getting resident evil (because they were the only people that had it) and having them look though every drawer to find it. Oh the memories. God those were good times. But wow resident evil blew me away the games graphics and FMV were very very impressive. Thank you sony for making my childhood a better place. But that experience is still shadowed by almost every release of a mario game. Mario 1, (first video game ever), Mario 3 (jaw dropped when seeing the rotating question mark boxes), Super Mario Brothers, and of course Mario 64! (good lord that game made me excited).....

    I sell ipods every day, not once have I been asked if it lets me listen to the radio, PLUS you can get a little inline radio for your headphones anyways, hell they are so damn tiny and cheap, so stop complaining.

  16. My first project.. on Electronics Projects for 12-Year-Olds? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    was making custom rockets, my tech teacher supervised us, and let us make it out of any thing we wished, I made mine out of pbc pipe and used a I based motor, and I even made my nose cone out of wood using a lathe. Also we hand etched circuit boards and made cool little curcuits, and soidered on our own parts. Taught me alot about electronics and how things worked. Start with the basics (what a resister is and how compasitors work).

  17. Re:for once I agree on Codeweaver's Crossover 4.0 Adds iTunes Support · · Score: 1

    first off wine is not an emulator, second itunes is a very slick application and the only reason it might be slow on your tbird is maybe because its a carbon application. (or you have no idea on how to optimize a tbird 900mhz box, via 4 in 1 drivers maybe?) Also the ipod has the best interface and is probably the best mp3 based harddrive player on the market. And trust me if you had an ipod or a mac you would know better.

  18. Re:No Mac emulator yet? on Codeweaver's Crossover 4.0 Adds iTunes Support · · Score: 1

    harder than you think, You are dealing with PPC arch and x86 arch which are very different, its much harder to emulate ppc binaries than it is to run a x86 windows binary on a x86 linux box. I happen to use Mac on Linux (MOL) on my ppc Linux computer which lets me boot my Macosx Partition while its in linux. (very handy) but to emulate a osx application it would be Much much harder than what wine is doing.

  19. United linux would succeed if.. on United Linux: Two Years Later · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If Linux distro Could get a macosx type Application installer (aka drag and drop the application anywhere into the harddrive) it would gain support like you wouldnt believe, RPM, deb, ebuilds, tar.bz2, tar.gz, all are to complicated for the normal user. Yes I know rpm -ivh blah.rpm isnt hard and apt-get install gaim isnt hard, but I think Staticly compiled binaries are the way to go!
