  1. I must be daft on Panther's TextEdit to Open MS Word Files · · Score: 1
    But I still find it strange that simple stuff like web browsers, graphics apps & movie tools are given away for free, but really complicated software for arranging text into pretty lines costs hundreds of notes.

  2. First app to take advantage of Webcore? on Apple Introduces iTunes Music Store, iTunes 4, new iPod · · Score: 1
    Looks like Webcore is stable enough for html display in iTunes4, the store renders perfectly & without the delay of the built in renderer of the Help viewer. I'd expect this application intergration will become increasingly familiar to OSX users, curious though that the rest of the interface no longer has quartz text smoothing (or is it just my instal?), the album art panel is a nice touch

    As a UKian i can only browse & preview songs at the store, I can see a use for it in collecting the classic tunes I can't (be bothered to) find in the shops, can't see me buying whole albums this way though, and they won't get a penny if they use the £1 = $1 exchange rate used to set prices for UK music.

    Got to go see how well streaming works to the laptop/stereo, been using iCommune but It bugged me the way it would only play one song at a time.

  4. Re:who the fuck cares? on Apple Responds to Adobe · · Score: 1
    That sounds so wrong, quick check shows photoshop 7 stops at 3.35G file sizes although i don't doubt there is a plug in that increases that...

    BUT I cant think of any reason someone would need a 40GB Photoshop file, the lpi on billboard prints is so low that even screen resolution is overkill, I can only guess they are using photoshop for layout which they really shouldn't be doing, that's what quark / indesign are for, really bugs me when some muppet sends in a massively over dpi'd file for output.
