2004 / iChat av

I have played with iChat AV on my 500 Mhz iMac and it worked fine, except that the volume has to be cranked way up.

2003 / Mac's in Movies

Saw the end of Kate and Leopold last night.  When she gets promoted, she goes back to her office where you can see an Apple Cinema display.  It's just sitting there with a desktop.

I did want to post this link to an article by David Pogue also about the security of OSX.  (free membership in NYTimes online required)


If you find an article you want to post from the NYT, select the option to "email" it, and send it to yourself.  The email will arrive with a link that allows anyone to read the article.  You can then post that link here and people can read without going through the registration.

A little extra work on your part, but gives access to those that object to this type of registration.

2003 / OT: ebay G4 scam from a year ago

Anyone out there in Florida government who can stop this foolishness?

The implication of the story is that they are getting about $500 per month from the criminal and writing 100 individual $5 checks to send out to those defrauded.  A quick estimate is that they are losing $2,000 a month to do this, as the cost of processing, issuing, and mailing a check is usually estimated at $25 or so.  Maybe in these days of effecient government the state pays less than that, but I'll bet their cost is more than $5.19.

At that rate, the state could make a couple of users whole each month and let the criminal go free.

2003 / Finally..

My son pointed out this weekend that the purpose of the rest of the Mall here in CT is to entertain the family members while you visit the Apple store.

Wasn't surprised that there were no G5s, but was pleasantly surprised by both the size of the camera and quality of the video with iChat.

2003 / Airport question.
« on: April 30, 2003, 12:04:00 PM »
In our case we did not buy a base station.  Simply put an airport card in the iMac that is almost always on and always connected to the cable modem.  The laptop now works in all but the furthest corner of the house.  This set up does require that the iMac be on and not asleep.
