  1. Re:Slashdotter already on Apple AirPlay Private Key Exposed · · Score: 4, Funny

    What the hell do you have in your luggage that needs THAT?!?

    An Airport Express Station.

  2. Re:Apple doesn't "get" Social Media on Apple's Game Center Shares Your Real Name · · Score: 1

    You do realise Guy Kawaski also isn't as young as he used to be? Though he probably aged a lot slower than the management guys...

  3. Re:Discounts on Apple Unveils MacBook Pro with Core 2 Duo · · Score: 1

    The once-in-a-lifetime discount for student developers is 20% off the regular Apple Store price for a MacBook Pro. If I remember correctly, the normal edu discount is around 10%.

    Give steve jobs some of his own cancer.

    Why? He just got rid of it.

  5. High pitched noise from power supply on MacBook Internal Photos · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So, they are using stock Intel parts and still managed to mess up the power supply unit. As can be read here, more than a few users report a whining noise from the psu when the cpus are idling.

    Quick fix: leave PhotoBooth running in the background. D'oh!

  6. Re:Great! on MacBook Pros Upgraded and Shipped · · Score: 1

    They'll hopefully wait with the upgrade to 1920x1200 until their new eyeSight series of correctional glasses is shipping. Anything more than my old PowerBook's resolution would be too high-res for my taste.

  7. Re:Advanced Interface Design on Apple Nearly Moved to SPARC · · Score: 1
    From just this one anecdote one does get the feeling that Steve might have taken over Sun eventually.

    Funny, isn't it? Just the same thing happened between Apple and NeXT. Although Apple technically bought NeXT, NeXT took over Apple.

    I'm glad they did.

  8. Re:TIger on Laser Etching a Laptop · · Score: 1

    They could have pictured the tiger from behind - the Apple logo could have become some sort of glowing bum hole...

  9. Re:What apple should do now on Ars Technica's iPod nano Dissection · · Score: 1
    Sadly enough, there are PLENTY of people who can't even find 2 gigs' worth of music that they enjoy listening to.

    That's why they invented podcasts.

  10. Re:Hmmm on Why the Rokr Phone Is An Important Failure · · Score: 3, Informative
    Even if you have to download via the interweb and FireWire them over.

    Just for the record: you cannot thransfer songs to the iPod nano via Firewire. Sadly, transfers are USB only.

  11. Re:Idiot mods on Microsoft Genuine Advantage Cracked in 24 Hours · · Score: 1

    I kinda like watching laundry moving in the wind.

  12. Re:OT: Why use a computer monitor? on Yahoo Purchases Konfabulator · · Score: 1

    Oh well, that's interpolated. Since the projector's native resolution is 1024x768, I wouldn't call it HD ready, but let's leave it at that. We're OT already.

  13. OT: Why use a computer monitor? on Yahoo Purchases Konfabulator · · Score: 0
    The high resolution HDTV capable projector I'm using (NEC LT10) cost less than $2,000.

    What's so HDTV capable about 1024x768?

  14. Re:need to fix spolight too on Apple Releases OS X 10.4.2 Update · · Score: 1
    doesn't let you finish typing before it searches

    Laserlight solves that issue.

  15. Re:Ah...I miss Byte (Heise C't) on A Review of the 128KB Macintosh · · Score: 1

    That should have read "the only magazine after Byte, that I felt was in the same league of broad IT coverage, was the german Heise C't magazine". Sadly, c't is no longer as nice a magazine as it used to be.

  16. Re:I, for one, call bullshit on that one... on Upgrade Your G4 Cube to a Pentium M Processor · · Score: 1

    There's always the possibility of closing that lid...

  17. Graffiti for Newton on History of the Apple Newton · · Score: 1

    C'mon, if you really wanted to mess with Graffiti, you'd get a Palm. Besides the ingeniously clever OS, its hand writing recognition was what the Newt was all about!

  18. Re:Flame on... on Mad as Hell, Switching to Mac · · Score: 1

    I know one thing for sure: there is a SWIM chip in my old Mac that controls the floppy drive. For those who don't know: that's a Super Wozniak Integrated Machine. I guess that means Woz had something to do with my Mac.

  19. Re:iMac on Mac mini Sans Wires - Batteries Inside the Case · · Score: 1
    Using an iMac would be a better idea, for it has a monitor already included.

    I know it's lame to use prebuilt stuff - but have you realized Apple sells iBooks that serve this exact purpose?

  20. Re:Why warn us? Super Slashdot Effect on Get To Know Mach, the Kernel of Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Why don't you just delete the browser plugin?

  22. Re:iTunes vs QT Pro on Apple Quietly Releases iTunes 4.8 · · Score: 1
    The QT Player should be what it once was: Just a good player.

    There are good players already: MPlayer and VLC. Absolutely no need to even touch the QT Player - let alone buy the Pro version.

    Should run okay, shouldn't it?

  24. Re:Torrent, anybody? on 10.4 on Display at FOSE · · Score: 3, Funny

    I bet 10.1 still gives you headaches today. Their beers don't.

  25. Re:Just hardware, no apple OS. on Terra Soft Offers Linux-booting iPods, FW Drives · · Score: 1

    Not sure why Apple removed [the NXHost] capability

    That thing was a severe security risk.
