    PCs are bloated

    PC is so Cute! The Apple ads by Chiat Day are really great, but strangely, they make me, like a lot of people, symphathize with John Hogin's, the PC nerd. He looks so cute, fat or otherwise. I recently downloaded his audio book, a $33.00 offering on iTunes (It was the daily freebie that day...

    Vista 32-Bit 2GB vs. 3GB

    Duh...... Duh! That's strange. You would think that a super-gigantic corporation like Microsoft could build an OS that was completely 64-bit, but yet, at-the-same-time, capable of running any and all 32-bit programs natively, at full-speed, with out any kind of performance hit? Why two...

    Lamborghini VX2 initial impressions

    Wow.... expensive! Wow, now that is an expensive laptop. And I thought Apple was expensive. That said, it sure is a beauty. The leather is very cool. I always admired the looks of some of the Toshiba and HP laptops, but with out a doubt, this baby beats them in spades. Expensive, but...

    Beijing IDF 07: Penryn, Teraflops and Skulltrail

    I, like many I suppose, am both excited and depressed, at the same time, regarding all of the Intel annoucements. Excited by the possibilities, but depressed also because Intel won't let a bloke get a chance to catch one's breath. I say to myself, 'Damn, that's too cool, gotta get it; damn...

    American record companies at their best...

    Absolutely Absoulutely, by all means, buying the actual CD's is great. I have, of course, done the same. When you upload a CD into iTunes the quality of the music is the same as the CD. Mind you, it takes a lot more space and what-not, but if you have the space by all means. Personally, I'm...

    NicePants is Correct! Yuppers, your correct NicePants. You can convert songs to mpgs, Apple losless, etc. and burn them to a CD, I just checked after reading your post. I have programs like DRMCleaner to strip the DRM from iTunes, but usually, being lazy, I just burn copies on CD. Its...

    Your thoughts on Quad Core?

    8-core vs 4-core regarding games Test Results Just an interesting article on 8-Core machines vs a 4-Core machines regarding game performance. Apparently as the link below shows, a 8-Core machine is no faster than a 4-Core machine when used for gaming! Hmmm, I never would have thought...

    Show off your desktop!

    Thanks, will do. Thanks BlindMonk, will try later. I love about a million of the Window Blind themes, so being able to apply themes Free would be fantastic. Wish it also worked on Windows Professional 2000 too. I have that also and I really find it fast and stable. :)

    Tietos, never heard of them. I never heard of Tiesto, but being the curious old fart that I am, I checked the album out on iTunes, of which I have an accountant, and which I absolutely love. Its addicting, unfortunately! iTunes has the album in question, but the song, 'He's A Pirate' is not...

    Ahhh, the simple desktop... Ahhh, the simple desktop... how I love thee. Hopefully, Rob, you can see those beautiful Niko icons (oh, what a beautiful camera :) ) better here, they are in 16 million byt color and look just like the real thing. I get a lot of icons from interfacelift. They...

    My Humble Tiger Desktop Most times I love to deck out my desktop with cool OSX Tiger themes, but for some reason lately I simply prefer the simplicity of the simple desktop. Main desktop is Tiger 4.9 and just loving it. I used to love using Window Blinds on XP, but sadly, I was too cheap to...

    Your thoughts on Quad Core?

    You said it! Not only I, but several leading online publications agree with you. I was all set to buy an eight-core Mac Pro, but after reading the reviews I now know what a waste of money they would be. I am still planning to buy the special Apple commisioned ATI super graphic card this...

    Vista's Security..the honeymoon's OVER!

    Your Not Alone Sadly, your not alone. I read of many people who ran into the same problem. Personally, I will stick with XP for now. For one thing, its all I can afford. $300 bucks (Canadian $) for the Vista Ultimate update is unbelievable! Full-install is a whoping $499 bucks Canadian! OSX...

    Vista's Security..the honeymoon's OVER!

    I Agree with you! I agree 100% with you. It does suck that we can't build our own OSX boxes, but on the other hand, we have the benefit of both hardware and software being optimized. Still, that is no reason why we shouldn't be allowed to do so if desired. As far as my goals to build my own...

    Vista's Security..the honeymoon's OVER!

    Thanks, but still you miss my point. You say, " I'd never even dream of going into an Apple forum and poo-pooing Apple's PC," that's one of my points. Window and Linux are not the only pc's; Mac's are pc's too. Techgage posts Apple related news, therefore, is it wrong for me to post my...
