The click-and-hold also makes the dock less than useful for navigating around the apps if you have multiple windows/instances open and are looking for the familiar "taskbar" approach. I also find the jumping icons instead of a simple flash to grab my attention annoying. I have a couple other beefs about the interface, but nothing I can't deal with. Navigation between apps is icky, and that was my point.
Dock icons bounce so that you'll know their application requires attention even when you have the Dock hidden.
Right. I don't want Kroupware (what a horrible name) to reinvent the wheel on some of these communication standards without regard for interoperability with other open standard groupware efforts such as Apple's.
It'd be great if this KDE effort were also compatible with Apple's current efforts (Address Book (LDAP, vCard), iCal (iCalendar), Mail (IMAP).

I did this as soon as I got my iPod and heard about iCal (order the iPod same week I heard about iCal).
However, for some reason Outlook at work has "When sending meeting requests over the Internet, use iCalendar format" disabled. Any idea why? I'd love to be able to send them to my Mac.com e-mail account and use that to get them onto my iPod.
Running applications in full screen is ineffecient use of your screen. Mac users don't run applications full screen. Since they don't, drag and drop is very useful and faster than context-click, copy, set focus, context-click, paste.
I think the lower power draw of the iMac would more than make up the price differential over the life of the computer. The iMac's monitor would also be easier on your wife's eyes.
Damn! I agree with you post 100%. I have a TV, a really nice widescreen HDTV but I don't subscribe to cable or satelite. I get channels over the air and use it to watch DVDs.
I also agree with the level of apathy in this country and that it directly relates to the increasing power of our government.
As long as the coverage of Wi-Fi is close enough to what we get with cellular it will be great. It doesn't even have to be that close, it just needs to be hotspotted in areas where people are prone to sit down with a laptop.
I don't see the big deal in this at all. If someone were to take boxed Dells and modify them and resell them, I think Dell would have a problem with that too... But, then again, what about the rack mounted Quicksilvers that Terra Soft [terrasoftsolutions.com] sells as the GVS 9000? They're repackaged Power Macs.
The rackmounted PowerMacs are distinguished enough from actual Apple products enough by their trade dress. In the Zetabyte instance, the computer's case was not altered significantly enough to not confuse buyers into thinking they were getting an official Apple products.
My HP CD Writer isn't supported. I bought it before I bought my Mac. But, the reason I bought it is because I thought it would be supported. It's USB and it boasts Bondi iMac styling, so I thought it was obvious HP was marketing it to the Mac market.
What company (other than the one with a monopoly) makes money on selling an OS? No one. All of the people making money while producing an OS are selling it with their own hardware.
Mac IE probably uses QuickTime libraries to handle the PNG rendering. If you have QuickTime installed on Windows it should be able to handle the PNG rendering for IE as well.
3. Zealots. Go to any Bestbuy or Circuit city that happens to have a Mac section, and you'll find one or two Mac Zealots there to 'encourage' people toward buying a Mac. If you put Linux PC's in stores, you'll probably get Linux Zealots there too to show people how wonderful Linux can be.
I believe there is a technical reason for this, not a DRM reason. There is a similar issue under Windows. If you try to grab a screenshot of any video on the screen, you'll get a purple rectangle instead of the video in the screenshot. It's due to the method that is used to push the video to the screen.
This may not be an issue with Quartz Extreme, as I hear the video and UI graphics are containing in one accelerated stream.

HFS+ is case insensitive, but Apache is not.

If you can't get WiFi to work on a Mac, you're just retarded. That's all there is to it. Sorry.

You missed that Sosumi is also the only Apple system sound that is a sample of a musical instrument.

GUI slow? Throw a faster video card into your PowerMac!
It can do this already.

Right...
Just like the fix for Software Update that came less than a week after the exploit was published (and Apple wasn't even contacted first).
Apple has a good track record for fixing the limited security issues that have been exposed. I'm confident this will be fixed in less than 5 days.
Here is the proper link for iTunes feedback.

I'm doing what you did from now on.

Isn't PNG really a replacement for both GIF and JPEG?
Mac IE probably uses QuickTime libraries to handle the PNG rendering. If you have QuickTime installed on Windows it should be able to handle the PNG rendering for IE as well.
There is a save feature in the menubar for Software Update.
They probably do that because they know the screenshot won't come out right.

I'm not 100% sure of any of this.
