Back in the mid-90's I had a small video game store and with the CD games; Sega CD, 3DO, Jaguar CD, Saturn and PS1, I had serious scratching issues. Luckily, they where NOT on the label side since that's where the damage cannot be undone the data is on that side of the disc. The shiny side as...

Satcomer: "Beside Flash is an old technologhy that has had it's day. Now with the latest news the p0rn sites are switching over to HTML5 video I say Flash is now on a death watch (I want to make it clear I do not watch p0rn I just heard the news on CNET)." Not only that but Hulu is now on the...

I still have a 1st generation Intel white iMac, different from yours I know, but I've never had a scratching problem. However, I've had numerous ejection issues with optical media particularly with the Memorex brand. It has increased in frequency of late and I'm all but certain it's the age of...

Hmm, looks like I got the starting price correct and the "at least a Super iPod Touch" correct. :D I do believe that the other future possibilities I mentioned are in Apple's Area 51 so to speak. ;)

I'd have to agree with Gene on this one. I seriously doubt Snow Leopard could be passed off as a "Service Pack" mainly due to the exclusion support for the G4 or G5 & PPC code. However, on the flip side, Microsoft's Windows 7 is actually more like a Snow Leopard upgrade to Vista and in my...

I had 3 ideas to pass along. Could you add a forum section like the Paracast has called "Talk about the show" or something along those lines perhaps? Also would you accept an invitation to appear as a guest on MacBreak Weekly on TWIT? It'd be awesome if you'd go and it would give to a great...

Here's my Apple 2 cents worth. ;-) Yeah, it's a fantasy or dream but a good one! :-D I'm basing this totally on rumors, along with a combination of both Apple's R&D along with released products, unknown unreleased hardware, plus the great engineering minds they have to miniaturize virtually any...

I wonder if David has checked out Art Text 2 since from what I recall it's a pretty big upgrade from version 1. The price is right $39.95-$49.95 and I suppose it could fall into the Prosumer category at best. BeLight software makes some great applications at reasonable prices but I doubt it can...

As funny as the W7/System 7 Party is to everyone, especially David, here's a version that's even funnier! :D The "bleep" volume is quite loud, too bad but you'll get the idea REAL quick! Gene, maybe you er, attended or perhaps hosted a similar "swinging" party in the 70's? Ha-Ha! :D

Oh yeah, he's the expert for sure! :D As far as the best bang for the buck the donation-ware app Live Quartz seems to be the best as long as you're not doing large images over 640X480 as I recall. The developer is aware of that limitation and has promised to address this in the next release...

By no means am I a graphic artist but I've dabbled in a few programs and can only recommend them as try before you buy. :D I've gotten lucky and picked up a few too many myself using MacZot, MacUpdate Promo and the MacHeist sites. It's a big savings of typically 40-60% on the daily stuff but...

That old Mac looks snappy even by todays standards! Old video of an Introduction to Adobe Illustrator '88. Just a bit of retro. :D <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie"...

FYI as of 12.09.2K8 VueScan is now 10 years old and in celebration he's giving a free upgrade to the latest version 8.5 for ALL previous owners! Cool! :D http://www.hamrick.com/vsm.html#anniversary BTW Has Ed replied to Gil?

Hopefully, we'll see the Quad Cores/Nehalem/Core i7 CPUs or whatever they decide to call it across the line in the MacBooks & MBPros and maybe in the iMacs. For the Pros and Prosumers maybe they'll issue a 12-14" MacBook with FireWire 800, a Quad Core CPU, dual video cards or at least a...
