    Anybody else try to get 3 years out of their computer?

    13 Years old and still kicking! I have a 13-year old Mac Color Classic, around the house, that is still kicking! You can't really do that much with it, but I still use it, from time-to-time, for the sheer novelty of it. The little bugger should have up-and-died a long time ago, but it's...

    iPhone thoughts

    My first cell... My first cell was also a Nokia. Yes, I too remember playing Snake to kill the time. It was an el cheapo modal, but it worked better than my expensive Moto flip phone! I too, with all the features of the iPhone, would have thought that Apple would have put Snake on the...

    Samsung 275T 27-inch Wide-Screen

    Under monitors.. Look under monitors at: www.futureshop.ca I have seen the monitor in person locally. Nice monitor, but as you pointed out, it really does sit rather high off from the desk.

    Specs? I have a Samsung monitor and I'm extremely pleased with it. 20 inch, 2mm; 2000 contrast ratio, but I'm confused about the specs in the article? I have been playing with a new $999 Cdn. Samsung monitor with the same 275T name, but which has even higher specs? They are as...

    iPhone thoughts

    All I know is.... All I know is that I wish I had a penny for every time I have seen an article about the iPhone in the press. As cool as it is, the attention is just a wee-bit too much! Its just a piece of plastic and silicon after all, though a rather sexy piece at that. It seems that from...

    Where are you at on this one Ageia?

    I muss.... I must agree this is pretty amazing stuff! I can only imagine how intelligent the authors of all this must be. A hell-of-a-lot smarter than I, thats for sure. You just got to love guys (and girls) that can code like that! :)

    Ultimate Mac Setup?

    What Core 2 is.. Core 2 Animation has nothing to do with the processor. Core Animation came out with Tiger. Core 2 Animation is simply the second version on steroids. Core Animation and Core 2 are only for developers. What it does is allow developers to build extremely powerful graphics with...

    Ultimate Mac Setup?

    Core 2 applies to.... Actually, Core 2 Animation can apply to ANY software period! The recent games demoed at WWDC were built-with Core 2, the very first games demoed built on Core 2. Core 2 is quite revolutionary from the comments that I read on a Windows developers site. I believe it was...

    SAFARI 4 WINDOWS!

    Safari is now available for Windows XP and Vista! Steve Jobs said that over 500,000 people per day download Firefox for Windows, but over 1,000,000 people per day download iTunes, which, now of course, will include the Safari beta. Safari runs at a little more than twice as fast as...

    Ultimate Mac Setup?

    Reason is simple.... The reason is quite simple: CORE ANIMATION 2! With Core 2 you can move around a room, pick up a book from a bookshelf, open and read every one of its 300 pages (photos incl,) etc. That's only the beginning! The room in the Harry Potter demo had over 20-gigabytes of info...

    Ultimate Mac Setup?

    The Answer... The answer is that Steve says the ATI and Nividia will provide all necessary drivers, if not now, very, very soon! I"m just stoked over what's happening now at WWDC. What Apple does today, everybody else copies tomorow!

    Ultimate Mac Setup?

    Ah, but let's not forget..... Let's not forget, to remember, not to forget, that the Mac Pro will take any graphic card that you can throw at it. I can go to PC Warehouse, EggHead, etc. and buy the same components at the same prices as anybody else and simply 'pop' them in the Mac Pro. Bare...

    Ultimate Mac Setup?

    You knew this was coming.... Of course its the ultimate computer setup... after all you can run Linux, OS X and Windows, etc, all at the same time! Try doing that on any other system and you will be in for a big disappointment. If you want to be able to run the most apps, games, etc...
