Yeah, that was my impression, too. Although, since there's a 'notes' feature on the iPod, it should be possible. Each note can only be 4K, and there can only be 1000 notes, so the book can't be too long!:-)
I'd recommend SuperCard. When Apple abandoned HyperCard, they left a big void. SuperCard is OS X native and has excellent HC compatibility. Of course, it's far from a HC clone, as it it has all the things you'd expect from a development environment these days.
SC allows you to build standalone applications playing movies with QuickTime, displaying graphics with alpha channels, running shell commands and AppleScripts, etc...
I also personally use Runtime Revolution, and it's also good, and cross-platform. However, for Mac-only development, SuperCard definitely has my vote. It uses true Aqua GUI controls, and behaves like you expect Mac apps to do.
create fixes proactively and don't allow the exploits to be found in the first place. But there's probably a law or two out there that prohibits this kind of stuff, eh?
Laws against writing secure software? Well yeah, that'd explain quite a lot.;-)
I agree. However, just imagine how long it would take! Let's see...
Longhorn is hopefully going to be released in 2006. That's 5 years after XP. How many times more code would a rewrite require than XP->Longhorn? Let's say 10 times more.
That'd mean that a re-write of Windows would take 50 years.;-) See you in 2054. Okay, I'm not serious, but it'd probably take awhile.:-)
Do people walk around with those white ear buds in their ipod because the sound quality is absolutely amazing compared to all other head phones? Of course not, but they just scream "I have disposable income."
No, we use the white earbuds becuase they're free with an iPod, and not too shabby. (IMHO).
They don't use DirectInput, so there is no games support, regardless of what the marketing brochures and manual say
I bought my PowerMate about a month ago, and I love it. You are supposed to use the Send Key command to control games, afaik.
Griffin released version 2 of their drivers for Mac OS X, but they had to pull it back since it didn't work, and sometimes even disabled all USB devices connected.
Just because the PowerMate drivers for Windows suck, doesn't mean that the rest of their products suck. I also own a Griffin iMic, and it totally rocks.
I noticed, a while ago, that the iChat Agent (2.x) executable contains the string 'Jabbler' on a few places, so maybe this has been planned for some time?
Nonetheless, this sounds great, and is probably going to give Jabber a significant usage boost. It's sure nice to see Apple support more open technologies.
I wonder how efficient Turnitin is.
The hard and time consuming part of writing essays is not actually writing them, it's to figure out what to write.
So my question is, does Turnitin detect me cheating even if I rewrite the paper with my own words, rearranging the paragraphs a bit? Probably not.
What we'd really need is a completely new email system. The system right now is very complicated, both for "tech people" and for end users. We've got POP, SMTP, IMAP, you name it. Sometimes, SMTP requires login, sometimes not. There's a myriad of old protocols and standards out there that needs to be replaced with new technology.
What we need is ONE protocol for sending and receiving mail. Let's call it UMP, Universal Mail Protocol. Each domain has one (or several) UMP servers, and a DNS record for looking up the IP number of that server.
When sending email, your domain's UMP server makes a DNS lookup on the recipient's domain and contacts that server. The receiving server looks up your domain's UMP IP number (based on the From-address) and compares it to the machine it's connected to. If they match, the receiver can be sure that it's really sent by the sender.
This would make setup very convenient for the end user! The only thing to be filled in is: a) email address, b) password. There's only one server to deal with, which is resolved from the email address.
Of course, this is hard to implement because of lack of backward compatibility, but I think it's worth it.
I guess its built-in USB port could be used for supplying power to any USB device, right? I know the AP only works with printers, but it should give power to any device, right? I have a camera that is charged over USB, and it would be cool to be able to charge it without a computer.:-)
- Click wheel (like the iPod Mini) - A millimeter thinner - More efficient Menus - Multiple on-the-go playlists - Listen to audiobooks slower or 25 percent faster without affecting pitch - Longer play - 12 hours of battery life due to more power conservation - Lower price: 40GB - $399, 20GB $299 (no 15 gig model now) - Still white

Anyone got a mirror of the security guide? I'm downloading the PDF at 0.3 KB/s. :-)
Works with Safari here on 10.3.5. Displays a huge black box.
First Microsoft filed a patent for double-clicking, and now Amazon has a single-click patent. Geez!

Google could use that new JPEG code execution exploit to automatically install a program that prevents taking screenshots. ;-)

Apple hired Dominic Giampalo, one of the BeFS's creators, to work on their new file system.
What new file system? Spotlight indexes the disk and saves it in a (SQLite?) database. No new file system here...

Well, the CE devices are in a somehat different market than Macs, so I bet their marketshare is pretty large.
And there are viruses for Mac, but not any for Mac OS X, except for Office macro viruses created for Windows, AFAIK.
A second on a 2 GHz machine? It's pretty much instant on my 733 MHz PowerMac. Maybe 1/4 of a second.
Quote about iPod: overpriced, overrated player
Seriously, What other portable music player is better and cheaper than iPod?
Only difference would be that "Loading" would be replaced with "Buffering".
Funny? This is insightful.
If you have a Mac, you can make a quick AppleScript for this.
