  1. Re:Excellent on Microsoft Prepares Office Lock-in · · Score: 1

    Easy database? FileMaker maybe?

  2. Damn those nerds... on An ID Number for Everything · · Score: 1

    ...don't they know that their inventions will only be used for evil?

  3. Re:Once again, let's not jump to any conclusions! on Apple Sued Over Rendezvous Trademark · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should have read this post before posting your sarcastic one.

  4. Re:Rendezvous? on Apple Sued Over Rendezvous Trademark · · Score: 1

    Well, Rendezvous isn't exactly a single word in French. Maybe that helps. ;)

  5. Re:Real world experience on Mac OS X: State Of The Browsers · · Score: 1

    I'm an alum and am very impressed at their response. That's very cool.

  6. Re:But it's not a war on Mac OS X: State Of The Browsers · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well, Safari does have one advantage that no other Mac browser has. It has access to iSync's API which allows people to synchronize their Safari bookmarks across Macs. Hopefully Apple will make the iSync API public once it becomes more stable.

  7. Re:OS Bias on Apple Issues New G5 Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    They used Red Hat on their first set of benchmarks (for the Intel machines) because it outperformed Windows on their tests.

  8. Re:SMP gaming on Apple Issues New G5 Benchmarks · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes, some Mac games are SMP enabled.

  9. Konfabulator? on gDesklets - Gnome2's Karamba · · Score: 1, Redundant

    So this is kind of like Konfabulator?

  10. Re:Interoperability on Bluetooth Headset Roundup · · Score: 1

    What the hell are you talking about? He tested every headset with the Sony Ericsson T68 and some Nokia. Every headset that supported the headset and handsfree profiles worked with every phone. The headsets that didn't support handsfree didn't work with the one Nokia.

    As far as Bluetooth dongles for you're PC, perhaps you should buy a PC that doesn't need silly dongles.

  11. Re:Apple had a similar idea! on New Microsoft Mouse Scrolls Both Ways · · Score: 1

    Xerox? Apple already did that.

  12. Re:no friendly DRM on iTunes: Don't Leave Home With Them · · Score: 1

    I'm not going to boycott the Music Store, but I did decide from the get-go that I would never purchase a song from them that was important to me. I realize the media that I get from them are not fit for archival purposes and purchase accordingly.

  13. Re:Not too interesting on iTunes: Don't Leave Home With Them · · Score: 1

    The linked article is almost worthless because it lacks details on what really happened.

    What kind of reinstall did he do?

    Exactly how did the songs disappear? From his iTunes library or from his harddrive?

  14. Camino on Embedding Mozilla in Mac OS X Cocoa Apps · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's kind of the whole point of the Camino Project. Why reinvent the wheel?

  15. Mozilla Suite 1.5? on Mozilla 1.5 Alpha Available · · Score: 1

    I thought 1.5 was going to consist of the new Firebird and Thunderbird components with Sunbird trailing afterwards.

    What happened?

  16. Re:Ok, which alt browser do you prefer? on Browser Wars II: The Saga Continues · · Score: 1

    Those aren't browsers. They're renderers. You should have used "Gecko" instead of "Mozilla."

  17. Re:Fast User switching, some thoughts. on Apple Tries to Patent Fast User Switching · · Score: 1

    If you can switch users, how is Aqua a single-user GUI?

  18. Re:That's like saying... on Apple Tries to Patent Fast User Switching · · Score: 1

    Mac OS X is unix.

  19. Re:This is a test from the labels... on 'Extraordinary' Soundtrack Will Be Apple-Exclusive · · Score: 1
    most of the sound track will probably be available today for download of the p2p networks as well as purchase from Music stores
    No, it's actually 13 orchestral songs and two world music songs. So, no it isn't available by creating your own from other albums. And it's pretty good, I'm listening to it on my iPod while I type this comment.
  20. Re:This is a test from the labels... on 'Extraordinary' Soundtrack Will Be Apple-Exclusive · · Score: 1

    Ha!

    Not only could a ripped version of the soundtrack originate from other countries, but it could also originate from inside the music industry.

    That would explain how I downloaded Smashing Pumpkin's Machina about a week before it was released and I bought it.

  21. I actually bought it... on 'Extraordinary' Soundtrack Will Be Apple-Exclusive · · Score: 4, Informative

    I bought the album last night from iTunes Music Store. It's a pretty good soundtrack. If the movie is anywhere near as good as its soundtrack, it'll be exceedingly better than my expectations.

    Anyway, $9.99 for 13 tracks of nicely composed orchestral work and two excellent world music songs is pretty good. I'm listening to it on my iPod as I type this.

  22. Re:Optional? on Jaguar is Over · · Score: 1

    I guess that is true. I hate the brushed metal windows too. Of course, I suppose they could have always asked the developer to provide an Aqua version for 10.1.

  23. Re:Who cares? on Apple Hardware VP Defends Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    These aren't painted. :p

  24. Re:Optional? on Jaguar is Over · · Score: 1

    They're back-porting the new WebKit framework to Jaguar. So, you're golden there. Aside from some audio frameworks the only new one I can think of for Jaguar was Address Book and not that many applications use it. Quartz Extreme wasn't linked to from applications. So, I'm not sure what else could have held apps from running on both 10.1.x and 10.2.x.

  25. Re:Optional? on Jaguar is Over · · Score: 1

    You were under the wrong impression.
