New Apple Lust Objects

No, that's fine. Sadly, I just don't have the time to read such sites. BUT...I got a brand new Powerbook for free. And it's fucking great. So I can't really complain.

Heathen!

- even though i set firefox as my default browser, if i click on a link in my email, safari opens up. ?Q!?wefifowh!@~!#>

- why does everything have to be all big and icony? this shit looks like it was designed for idiots. is there any modification/plugin/etc that can make the interface look more like Classic?

maria, that's what in the beginning the apple was for: idiots. just kidding.

what i HATE about OSX: i want to install imovie but i can't do it with ilife cause my version of itunes is too high or sth. so it refuses to do it. i downloaded it from direct connect but some of the thinsg (like title) don't work.

i recently discovered .mac. Expensive but oh so much fun.

Apple by and large were about computing for the masses from simple kits to some of the first home computers with disk drives, colour and expansion slots, to the first successful gui.....

I must have missed something -- what came out today?

System related grouses: I want to be able to view by date created in Open File boxes within programs. System 9 could do that, but OSX can't. I also want to have non-sticky text select. At the moment my text select is 'intelligent', ie it selects a whole word then a whole line, and it's very difficult to just place the cursor somewhere. Maybe this is a configuration thing, but I don't know how to switch that off.

Ah right, I didn't realize it had never been there before! (When you live very near one you get a bit spoiled.)

Underneath will be images from the show so it's quite likely that this space will house some of the first images of new Apple products to hit the web. This show is the first Steve Jobs MacWorld keynote in quite some time (1 year) which has added to the buzz factor. Moreover, there are tons of rumors about new products that will keep us all on the edge of our seats. So sit tight and get ready--the good times start rolling at 9AM PT.
