  1. Re:If you can lose a blackberry... on UK PM's Aide Loses BlackBerry In Chinese Honeytrap · · Score: 1

    The Blackberry can be set to to timeout and force you to unlock it again with your password. This can be pushed from the BES with a policy that sets the interval.

  2. Re:Who'da thunk it! on Apple Stores Demonstrate That Retail Still Lives · · Score: 2, Informative

    Office for Mac 2004 is fully drag and drop installable.

  3. Re:Or perhaps he's using this as a convenient cove on Cartoon Network CEO Resigns Over Aqua Teen Scare · · Score: 1

    He personally signed off on the campaign, yes, but it wasn't his idea. I know who approved at the level below Samples. This was not designed to be a fun way out. This was just a campaign on the scale of anything else Adult Swim does which is crazy, off the wall and ballsy.

  4. Re:How many freakin' choices do you need? on FCC Opens Market for Cable Boxes · · Score: 1

    I for one chose.... well, um 7.

  5. Re:It doesn't matter on Mac OS X Versus Windows Vista · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Final Cut Pro is making more and more inroads on Avid's territory due to the fact that it is just so much more cost-effective. Avid is a system with machines in racks in a term gear room. Final Cut Pro is a Mac tower with some displays and an editing keyboard. Avid is still used more, I know this, but Final Cut is a very attractive alternative. We use both daily at CNN.

    "The world has gone mad. Perhaps religion is the problem." Religion is not the problem at all. Religion is simply used as an excuse for violence. Religion has never been the true motivation for violence in history. Rather, people have used religion to help justify violence.

  7. Re:Good free one on Software PVRs Becoming Tivo Killers · · Score: 1

    When BeyondTV 4 comes out they will be integrating BeyondTV and BeyondMedia into one program. It should be out within the next few months and have HD capability as well.

  8. BeyondTV Does Show Guide and Live TV on Software PVRs Becoming Tivo Killers · · Score: 1

    With BeyondTV you CAN view the guide while live tv and even recorded shows are playing. It brings the entire guide up as a transparent screen and keeps playing the video in the background. It works great and with the remote that came with my Hauppage card it is only a button push away.

  9. Re:No adequate thing as earplugs for video on More Rumblings on Apple Video iPod · · Score: 1

    Not to nitpick but current G5 based systems already have SATA. http://www.apple.com/powermac/expansion.html

    You are so wrong it's not even funny. It saddens me that people have so little understanding of the other religions we share this world with.

  11. Re:Call me slow but... on Apple Developing Two-Button Mouse · · Score: 1

    Because they want to. Any new product is still developed even if it is not a new idea.

  12. Re:And that is why... on Apple Backs Blu-ray · · Score: 2

    Perhaps you didn't realize that Apple developed the IEEE 1394 spec.

  13. Re:Mac OS X... on What's Wrong with Unix? · · Score: 1

    You can choose to install applications wherever you want but the default is /Applications. This directory is accessible for all local users. Most OS X apps are self-contained bundles. For example Safari.app is really just a folder that contains all the executables and resources for Safari but OS X treats the .app like the executable. Its slick, really. It makes installing/uninstalling very easy. There are of course always exceptions to the rule.

  14. Re:Borrrrring on Gates v. Jobs, continued... · · Score: 1

    "The iPod cannot play songs from most other stores, and Apple's iTunes store won't sell songs for other players"

    The iTunes Music Store has over 70% of the market for legal digital downloads. Please tell me where the cost justification is in letting the iPod play other formats that just don't sell nearly as well as the DRM used at the iTMS. Now obviously this is not the only reason why Apple doesn't open things up but it sure seems like a good one to me.

  15. Re:No because... on Why Apple Should Port Games · · Score: 1

    Is that Dell 64 Bit? http://www.apple.com/g5processor/ The G5 is.
