  1. Re:All fine and dandy on Apple VP discusses iMac G5 Hardware Design · · Score: 1

    Imagine working at a high school with multiple labs of 30 iMac DVs.
    Hearing them all "sing" in unison when the lab's empty and quiet borders on maddening.

  2. Re:People may complain but.. on Japanese Schoolchildren to be Tagged with RFID · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why don't we encase our children in 'Nerf'? After all, then they would just bounce off of cars when they run out in the street.

    Because that would ENCOURAGE kids to run out into the street so they could be hit by cars.
    ...Lord knows that's what I'd do...

  3. Re:10MW on Green Energy From Manhattan's East River · · Score: 1

    Hey, it'll at least be enough to power all the equipment necessary for the monitoring, administration and other electrical needs for its maintenance...

  4. Re:hmm on Jobs Previews Displays, Tiger at WWDC · · Score: 1

    Yes, it'll be the same $129 as always.
    Confirmable by Apple Consultant Network members.

  5. Re:Why don't they just remove the quota ? on Gmail Users Get A Storage Boost [updated] · · Score: 1

    Because most people know by now that on the Internet, "Unlimited = Hidden Arbitrary Limit".
    I've been kicked from quite a few "UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH" server hosts.
    Drawing a definite line in the sand so far away from what any (legitimate) user would use is a great marketing tactic...and keeps evil people from causing too much damage.

  6. Re:125K per episode is never enough... on Simpsons Pay Dispute Settled · · Score: 0, Troll

    By that logic, Fox should run The Simpsons nearly commercial-free.

  7. Re:So what? on New Tool Cracks Apple's FairPlay DRM · · Score: 1
  8. Re:White on black on Apple to Add Free Screen Reader to Mac OS X · · Score: 4, Informative

    In Panther's Universal Access preference pane, there's an "Enhance Contrast" feature.

  9. Re:More footage of Arwen? on Return of the King Coming Sooner to DVD · · Score: 3, Funny

    You might even GET an extended version while watching it...

  10. If only he could get some of his stories right... on A History of Apple's Operating Systems · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Copland never went "beta". It never even went Dev Release. It was cancelled almost immediately before the Dev Release was scheduled. Gershwin was nothing more than the successor of Copland. When Copland died, Gershwin died. This isn't in any way a definitive collection of Apple systems, let alone an accurate one.

  11. "Near-Simultaneous" Release on Mac on Unreal Tournament 2004 Goes Gold · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This move by MacSoft (although I'm sure is making them bust their asses) to bring out the Mac version ASAP is so very respectable in my opinion. I don't buy many games, but this is one where I can't wait to throw my money at its creators. Too bad MacSoft isn't taking direct preorders :(

  12. Re:Bochs? on WINE for Mac OS X in Development · · Score: 1

    The Darwine guys changed every instance of Bochs on their site to QEMU after the article was submitted.

  13. Re:Error in article - darwine intends to use qemu on WINE for Mac OS X in Development · · Score: 1

    The Darwine guys changed to QEMU a day after the article was submitted without any mention on their site.

  14. Re:why does anyone bother with TiVo? on TiVo Buys Super Secret Strangeberry · · Score: 1

    Why does anybody bother with cars?

    You can make your own jetpack, get some jetfuel, plus you don't need to pay tolls. You can even devise a method for thrust using hydrogen fuel cells for that treehugging feel.

  15. Re:Connecticut Leather Company on First Computers · · Score: 1

    Tell that to Gateway.

  16. Re:Sounds like BS to me. on Attorneys Prepare iPod Class Action Lawsuit · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What I don't understand is how do you make a class action lawsuit out of any issue where the company it's self already has something in place for consumers that have battery issue problems.

    Apple ran into the same problem with their 1st gen slot-load iMacs that had "choppy DVD playback". It was fixed in software within a few months, but still, a class-action lawsuit over a year later was filed. I guess providing a fix to the consumers isn't in the best interests of the lawyers.

  17. Refurbs for All! on Finding Holiday Discounts on iPods? · · Score: 1

    http://store.apple.com/

    Click on Special Deals near the bottom on the left column.
    As little as $229 for a refurbished 10GB iPod.

  18. Re:Erm... on More On IBM's Next-Gen Xbox Chipset Win · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but I regularly get my consumer technology products by hijacking Best Buy trucks.

  19. Re:Quicktime player - MPlayer : 0-1 on The Matrix: Revolutions Theatrical Trailer · · Score: 1

    Quicktime has a problem with some screens and the "Present Movie" full screen option, like it's not HW accelerated. If using Present Movie and you select "current size", whatever it is, it'll play beautifully.

  20. Re:It is your problem not ours... on Technical Glitches Plague BuyMusic.com · · Score: 3, Informative

    I can get Moby's two CDs, both with 18 pretty large tracks, for $9.99 each. And it comes with cover art.
    Apple prices full CDs at $9.99. You don't have to buy a-la-carte if you don't want to.

  21. Repackaging of simple tools under a pretty name on A Search Engine For The Slower Net · · Score: 1

    Isn't mod_gzip already used with popular search engines?
    It's nice that MIT has the processing power and bandwidth to receive data from search engines, uncompress them, REcompress them, and send back to the "queryer".
    Sounds like more overhead and more trouble that what's already in place that does the same damn thing! ...Am I missing something?

  22. "If only PowerMacs were cheaper..." on New G5 Power Macs "Fastest Desktop In The World" · · Score: 1

    One detail that nobody seems to have seen is the hideously huge pricedrop on some older G4 towers. 1.25GHz Tower: $1,299 Dual 1.25GHz Tower: $1,599 Look underneath Apple Software on the Apple Store webpage. http://store.apple.com/

  23. Mountains of Hate on Steve Jobs And Jeff Bezos Meet The Segway · · Score: 1

    "People will build cities around it...to say how much it sucks!"

  24. Duh, you guys...This is easy! on DVD Recording - Is There a Winner Yet? · · Score: 1

    DVD+R is better because it's got a Plus sign!
    You can't even record on DVD-R because it's a minus!

  25. Wishful thinking on Widescreen (Finally) Winning · · Score: 1

    I can't wait until Joe Sixpack gets a HDTV (when they get cheaper) and finds out that all his "full-frame" DVDs have those "damned black bars" on the sides...
