  1. Re:Please give me resolutions that don't suck... on Apple Planning Intel iBook Debut for January? · · Score: 1

    No one does serious graphics work on a 12" screen. That is what these are for.

  2. Re:One problem with them going mainstream on Apple Planning Intel iBook Debut for January? · · Score: 0

    Apple machines as a general rule have far superior default video cards than their Wintel competition. Show me a $1000 laptop with a better video card than an iBook.

  3. Re:iBook = Mac Mini, no? on Apple Planning Intel iBook Debut for January? · · Score: 1

    Mac Mini is closer to the 12" PowerBook.

  4. Re:only winner on The Math Behind the Hybrid Hype · · Score: 2

    A point which is totally irrelevant when discussing current hybrid vehicles.

  5. Re:Pandering Rewards? on French Riots Lead to Crackdown on Blogs · · Score: 1

    What pandering, exactly?

  6. Re:Why should I pay for this? on CBS, NBC to Offer TV Shows for 99 Cents · · Score: 1

    No, you're not. You're paying for MTV and CNN. The cable providers are throwing in the broadcast stations.

  7. Re:Why should I pay for this? on CBS, NBC to Offer TV Shows for 99 Cents · · Score: 1

    Because you're already paying specifically for HBO and Showtime, but not for NBC or CBS.

  8. Re:Why Christians should abhor ID on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    "From a theological standpoint, I would suspect that Christians would prefer a separation between church and science."

    Radical theologians always want a theocracy until they learn that their variety of theology isn't the one in power.

  9. Re:Attack the messenger (please) on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    "Intelligent Design is an alternative to the origins of life, not the continuing processes since that have shaped our world."

    If ID proponents believed that, they wouldn't be trying to get it taught as an alternative to evolution in science classes. Don't latch onto ID if you don't believe it.

  10. Re:Guess who will buy Pixar? on Pixar For Sale? · · Score: 1

    Redoing Star Wars movies in perpetuity would be a huge waste of Pixar's talent.

  11. Re:Frist P5ot on ITunes Australia Goes Live · · Score: 1
    If you're binding yourself by Apple's Copyright and Trademark Guidlines, then I suppose you should pay particular attention to this section:
    Unauthorized Use of Apple Trademarks
    4. Disparaging Manner: You may not use an Apple trademark or any other Apple-owned graphic symbol, logo, or icon in a disparaging manner.
    I also don't consider the American Psychological Association the best authority on proper capitalization. Wikipedia's style guide agrees with me on this. It was the first reputable one I came across.

    Citation?

  13. Re:They already made it, John. on Dvorak on 'Rinky-Dink' Software Rant · · Score: 1

    And if Iphoto doesn't do everything you want, then Aperture almost certainly will -- there is absolutely nothing rinky-dink about it from what I have seen.

  14. Re:Frist P5ot on ITunes Australia Goes Live · · Score: 0, Troll

    iTunes is how Apple writes it. That's marketing speak.

    Itunes or ITunes is how it should be written in English since it is a proper noun.

  15. Re:Is it a computer? on Ancient Greek Computer Reconstructed · · Score: 1

    A computer is something used to compute something. A watch computes time. Before we had VAX, we had rooms full of women doing addition -- and they were called computers.

  16. Re:What I want to see on Network TV Downloadable Via iTunes · · Score: 1

    "The people that have the bunny ears for their TV I think can still get ABC/NBC/Fox and watch the news for free."

    We sure can. And we can also get "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives" in HDTV for free.

  17. Re:Archos == Tivo on Network TV Downloadable Via iTunes · · Score: 1

    "The video ipod is classic Apple: as much as possible a one-way street from Content Owners through Apple to Consumers, with the ipod remaining as tethered as possible to a Mac/iTunes for operation. Making it harder than it should be for ipod owners to create and share their own content."

    You're absolutely wrong. It's going to be as easy to get video of the people on the new Ipod as it is to get audio of the people (podcasts) onto the current one. As long as Systm starts encoding their video podcasts in 320x240 H.264 which is easily done, then they won't have a problem with future Ipod owners being able to take the videos that Systm is producing today on the go.

  18. Re:Another windows bashing idiot on The Microsoft Protection Racket · · Score: 1

    Nice bandwagon argument there. Haha!

  19. Re:Registry versus Config Files on The Microsoft Protection Racket · · Score: 1

    Easy ways to move applications and still use them? An easy to use configuration file for each application? "Uninstalling" by deleting the application directly from the file system?

    I'd swear you are describing the Macintosh.

    Not when the dual-core is using an architecture that has been marked as end-of-life.

    Not at a special event. They might be announced on the same day, but they most certainly won't be the headline item of this event.

    Isn't the Nintendo DS selling far better than the PSP?

  24. Re:RTFA Please on Flash Memory with Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    "However, in this case it helps to actually read, for if you did you would see that the talk from SD is that they would sell this devices in stores pre-loaded with the content you want to purchase or with content that would be 'unlocked' later."

    Sweet! I really was hoping someone would provide us with a solution that would allow me to have to go to the store to buy a new memory card so that I can listen to new music on my Ipod. This is great! I love retro stuff, and this is just like 1980 and the Walkman. Flash cards are the new cassette tapes.

    They should obviously rename Seamonkey to be Firemonkey or Thundermonkey.
