  1. Re:apple is overated on Apple Previewing New Power Mac? · · Score: 1

    From my own experience I would have to agree.
    But kernel panics aren't as common as plain old application error (some times applications just disappearing) or just odd bugginess system wide. If your repeatedly getting kernel, either with the OS or possibly the hardware. Hardware for the power book would probably mean replacing the logic board as there isn't really much else to replace.

    it does have fins. The current G5's are just like this. There is just a seperate cover for each.

    yep, looks pretty bad to me!

  4. Re:You act like IE is stable... on A New Look For Firefox · · Score: 1

    Safari is pretty impressive, but still cracks sometimes. Unfortunately with safari I tend to have a lot open when it does crash, it would be nice if there was some kind of recover for history feature, or at lease have each window run in a separate process but that wouldn't be very mac-centric.

    I really wish apple would have put effort into firefox or something similar. Konqueror and safari are both very impressive for thier age. I honistly thought apple would go the mozilla way or even buy opera and make it an apple product.

    As for IE I've seen it choke on slashdot quite a few times. The giant metamoderate forms make IE crawl on some systems. Causing graphical errors throughout the page and sometimes even in other windows running in the same proccess.

    It would be cool if the US was a little more Motorcycle friendly but...
    I think the type of motorcycles that are commmon in the US is quite different. Most everyone on two wheels is either riding a Harley style bike or a very sporty street bikes. With Also weather and roads where most people commute just aren't ideal for bikes. I've hit potholes, puddles and animals in my car that would have nearly killed me if I were on a bike.
    Unfortunately for most people, bikes are recreational at best.

  11. PSP Vs. NGage on E3 - Sony Drops PS2 To $149, Shows PSP, Hints At PS3 · · Score: 1

    The screen is impressive. The NGage designers must really be crying now. 16:9 Vs. god knows what... or the two screens (4:3??) on the DS. ...looking at the pictures again, it reminds me a lot of the Atari Lynx.

  12. Battery pack! on E3 - Sony Drops PS2 To $149, Shows PSP, Hints At PS3 · · Score: 0

    Sony has big ambitions in the peripheral market for the PSP with all manner of addons planned, including an external battery pack, a stand, a microphone and a case. Several devices are being showen communicating with the PSP at Sony's E3 stand, noticeably a GPS system.

    Good battery life doesn't seem too hopeful if an external battery pack is already on the list of accessories!

    with some of the calls that I've got the operator said that they were most likely using the a web based tty service. They also admitted that it sounded like a scam. You'd think they would have a better response to these calls.

    the extra loss is likely do to the formatting of the drive,and I'm not sure how it's actually structured but it's also likely that it contains more then one volume. that loss that your seeing is probably due to part of the drive being reserved for the iPod software/config/and Ipod file management

    I'm supprised it always get's over looked..

    there are some problems though...
    for the memory and CPU it can't compete at $299 and seems like they can't budge on the price..

    I'd love to see HandEra make a successor to the 330... maybe something with a thinner dorable casing like the Visor Edge....

    Some thing all PDA makers have seemmed to have missed on is.. the buttons... I'd to see some thing that would improve navigation and also gameplay.
