[MacGroup] MacWorld or MacWeek Article
I was going to say MacGroup article. By the way I also have AT T and not sure if it was a step up or a step down especially here in my garage when you could really see the times flucuate in reception. Anyway speaking of Apple I had one from back to the Mac Plus even though I was dying for an SE I could not afford the extra cost. Here is the MacWeek for today. http://us-mg204.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.partner=sbc.rand=57gl7usbp9nt0 Steve ___ MacGroup mailing list MacGroup@erdos.math.louisville.edu http://www.math.louisville.edu/mailman/listinfo/macgroup

Re: [MacGroup] MacWorld keynote podcast unviewably choppy
Thanks Ed, that 60-second distillation was a hoot! I deleted the original download and re-loaded it this morning at 4:40 am. Results were improved until the last 20 minutes when it again degenerated rapidly until it was unwachable (still frames only) and unlistenable (chopped of sentences). This seems unacceptable. It gives me very little confidence that I could simultaneously download and watch a rental movie over iTunes...

MacGroup: MacWorld
Jobs Launches Intel-Based iMacs, Notebooks At Macworld By Kevin McLaughlin, CRN 3:44 PM EST Tue. Jan. 10, 2006 Steve Jobs on Tuesday officially opened the door to the Intel era at Apple. At Macworld in San Francisco, the Apple CEO took the wraps off the first Macintosh computers to use Intel chips: two new iMac all-in-one desktops and two MacBook Pro notebooks, all of which run on the new Intel Core Duo processors. Jobs said the new iMacs are two to three times faster than the current G5 PowerPC models and the new laptop is four to five times faster than the existing PowerBook, which runs on a G4 PowerPC processor. We're going to transition our entire product line to Intel processors by the end of 2006, Jobs said. Apple users and solution providers have been especially anxious for a Mac notebook with a more powerful processor, a situation that industry observers said finally spurred Apple last year to announce that it would drop the PowerPC chips supplied by IBM and go with processors from Intel. The one-inch-thick MacBook Pro, slated to ship next month, has a 15.4-inch wide-screen display and built-in iSight Webcam. It comes in a $1,999 model with a 1.67GHz Intel Core Duo processor and a $2,499 model with a 1.83GHz Core Duo processor. Jobs noted that the Webcam feature will be particularly useful for mobile workers. Now you can have videoconferencing on the go,? he told Macworld attendees. Other MacBook Pro features include Front Row, which allows users to listen to music and view photos and videos using a remote control, and MagSafe, a new type of power adapter that attaches to the computer via a magnet that pulls off if the cord is accidentally yanked. The new iMac all-in-ones, available now, include a $1,299 model with a 17-inch LCD screen and 1.83GHz Core Duo processor and a $1,699 model with a 20-inch LCD screen and a 2GHz Core Duo processor. The new iMacs also feature built-in iSight Webcams. Apple said the MacBook Pro and new iMac models will run Mac OS X ?Tiger? 10.4.4, the latest version of the company?s Unix-based operating system. Jobs also unveiled a new technology called Rosetta, which provides a bridge that enables applications designed for PowerPC Macs to run on the new Intel-based Macs. Rosetta is going to be a great bridge until we get all of the applications universal, he said. To illustrate the commitment of Apple's software partners to making their applications compatible with Intel-based Macs, Jobs introduced Roz Ho, general manager of Microsoft's Mac business unit. Ho said Microsoft is on track to make the Mac version of Office--a key application for many Apple VARs and users--run smoothly on the Intel Macs. We're working to ensure that current versions of Office work well in Rosetta, Ho said, adding that Microsoft has agreed to ship new versions of Office for Mac for at least the next five years. Also at Macworld, Apple introduced 2006 versions of its iWork productivity and iLife multimedia suites. The latter includes iWeb, a new application for creating Web sites, blogs and podcasts. In addition, the Cupertino, Calif., company unveiled the iPod Radio Remote, which combines a wired remote control with FM radio capabilities for the Nano and fifth-generation models of the iPod portable music player. As at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference last year, Jobs' keynote featured an appearance by Intel CEO Paul Otellini -- but this time, there was more theater. Otellini appeared from backstage in a cloud of smoke donning a bunny suit, the protective outfit worn in Intel's semiconductor fabrication plants. Later, Jobs screened an upcoming TV commercial showing workers inside a plant with the voiceover: For years, it's been trapped inside PCs, dutifully performing dull tasks when it could have been doing so much more. Starting today, the Intel chip will be set free and get to live inside a Mac. Imagine the possibilities. Jobs also touted Apple's financial health to the Macworld crowd. He said Apple's 135 retail stores accounted for more than $1 billion of the company's holiday quarter revenue of $5.7 billion. iPod sales totaled 32 million during 2005, or nearly three-quarters of the total number sold since Apple introduced the device in October 2001, he added.

Myth installed pretty easily, but the damn card's playing at being invisible. I never bothered trying to get it to work with Windows, but it was no walk in the park with Linux either. It turns out that Hauppauge, the makers of the card, have been diddling with the firmware on the card and the remote controllers, making version numbers on the software very important. You might want to check their Web site to make sure you have the most recent software. It turns out Hauppauge is a pretty enlightened company and they have opened up a lot of their technical information, so the open source people have been able to write decent software for their cards. The problem is piecing together the pieces that talk to each other. When you get around to getting the Myth box running, I can probably save you some time because I've gotten the pieces to fit. I still don't think there are any Mac OS X or Darwin drivers for their cards, which is a pity. -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

What kind of monitor would one need for that new mac-mini? The ones apple store sells are terribly expensive and large -20 inch screen. I have a friend who is interested in one of those new ones, but the monitor would have to be a lot cheaper. - Also : I still own my Mac 6400/200 with keyboard, Apple style writer , the whole caboodle. Is anybody interested? It has a floppy disk drive.I thought of keeping it for sentimental reasons, but at my age I have to scale down. Is anybody interested ? It only has the dial-up modem in it, so I don't think I would want to fool with it. Maybe some kid might use it.

It doesn't have to be a high def tv right? Any kind of modern TV I'm assuming. As soon as shops have them, and I can figure out when I'll not have to pay for Tiger, I plan to get one for work and one for home :) It's 3 times better than my powerbook spec-wise, and the powerbook is still pretty much all I need. I put a monitor aside for it at work a week ago now; though I'm a bit worried that the 19 monitor will crush the tiny box. On the insane side, I have a very tiny mouse (logitech), a tiny keyboard (happy hackers keyboard) and would just need one of the tiny projectors to have a complete mobile solution that's lighter than my laptop :) Only downside would be that it needs a wall for the projector, and 2 power sockets. Still, it'd be pretty cool.

That, the mini-Mac, is going to be a real winner. Wish I'd bought some options again ... about 5 months ago. The Apple site is slammed and I wouldn't be surprised to see it be quite busy for a while.

Yeah, the iMac mini is gonna be a hit I think. And one of the guys here at work who only owns PC's (because he's a big gamer and most hot games are PC only) has told me he's gonna buy the little tiny iPod. He doesn't need a bigger one, and he uses the PC version of iTunes already.

I agree, the mini-Mac is awesome sounding. Questions that probably no one has answers to yet: 1) Can you use any monitor, or do you have to buy an Apple display? 2) Will it include an Airport card? (I'm guessing not) 3) What is Apple's usual timeframe for being able to upgrade the operating system for free when the next version comes out? In other words, if you buy a new computer and then soon thereafter they release 10.4, what is the usual cut-off date for a free upgrade? And 4) when will local stores have demo models for us to drool on? I'm already talking my parents into this -- they are the only MS hold-outs in the entire family.

Going by memory: it's _not_ limited to Apple monitors; comes with 256 meg RAM and a 40 gig HD, upgradeable on purchase to 1.5 gig and 80 gig; airport and blue tooth are optional add-ons at purchase; base model is a 1.25 mhz G4 with the 40 gig HD, better model is a 1.42 mhz G4 and an 80 gig HD for an extra hundred bucks; there's a superdirve option; come with OSX.3.* installed; use any usb keyboard and mouse; has two usb-2 ports and 1 firewire 400 port; ethernet (I forget the numbers); sound out; other things I've forgotten most likely; and it's about the size of a cigar box. If reliability is Apple standard and the performance matches the specs (no shortcut bottlenecks in the system like Amerillo took) then it's the most impressive unit since the original 128, of which I still have two.

MacGroup: MacWorld Digital Art Gallery will be in town
http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/0302/07.art.php In case the link is gone before you can read it, here is the story: Dennis Sellers, dsellers at maccentral.com February 7, 2003 11:10 am ET The Macworld Digital Art Gallery , the annual computer art show, is appearing in Louisville, Kentucky, this month. The 32-piece exhibit features art created exclusively on Macs. You can catch the exhibit at the Louisville Free Public Library Gallery, 1250 Bardstown Road in Louisville, Kentucky, through February 28. The Art Software Group (http://www.artsoftwaregroup.com/), a Louisville-area Mac user group, is hosting the Kentucky showing. The exhibition begins with winning entries from the annual Macworld Digital Art Gallery Contest, which drew over 1,000 international entries in student and non-student categories. First prize winners for 2002 include non-student James Bruck for Design Factory and student Graham Huber for Chattera. What's more, the 2003 Contest is now underway; the deadline for entry is April 30. The winning entries will first appear at July's Macworld Conference Expo in New York.

Five years ago I was getting Mac Home Journal, Mac Addict, and Macworld. The first two shriveled up to a few pages so I dropped them and wonder if they are still around. If Macworld is the only Mac magazine left, I guess they can do whatever they want. I still get MacAddict, and like it well enough to resubscribe every 2 years. Every time I feel ready to can the subscription, an issue comes out which I find really useful. Their reviews match my tastes pretty well, their attitude is sufficiently sophmoric for my sense of humor (though I liked them better when they had more of a rogue image), and their tech tips are sometimes quite good.

The other two are still there. Pick one up off of a news stand, excuse me, get one at a bookstore and see if you like them. Personally I find MacAddict the best of the three. Now for the bad news, look close at the publisher names. Jerry On Tuesday, January 21, 2003, at 05:16 PM, Allan Atherton wrote: In 1999 I renewed my subscription Macworld for $19.97.

I dabbled with MacWorld, and was stung by the fact they don't offer the CD to the subscription [CDs are cheap, I don't see why magazines charge so much, they don't charge _that_ much in the UK for the DVDs]. Without the CD, I found MacWorld to be next to useless and let the subscription lapse. MacAddict did seem okay, but in general the mac magazines at the time seemed to be focused on expensive software and OS 9 software. They seemed to have moved to OS X now, but still focus on their main consumer range, graphics designers and home users, to be of a lot of interest.

Allan; The prices of most magazines are pretty arbitrary, including Macworld. I just received an offer for a professional discount subscription price of $19.95 for one year/ 12 issues. It also includes two free CD-ROMS of clip art, computer games, fonts, utilities, and other top-rated applications. The offer is valid through 2/17/03. So, the prices you're getting apparently are rising as they feel you are hooked. I'm planning to return the offer with my check. You may be able to get a similar deal if you contact them.

Actually, if the magazine can get you to sign up as a paid subscriber (defined by Audit Bureau of Circulations as at least half of their regular subscription price, whatever that is), they will gladly take that half price on the hopes that you will renew at a higher rate. And the magazine has to maintain a certain rate base of subscribers to satisfy their advertisers, so in some cases they will be willing to take even less than that 50% rate. They put an expire date on their offer not because the rate is necessarily going to go up, but because they know that putting that date on there will make it more likely that you will respond reasonably quickly if you're attracted by the offer. In many cases, they will give you an even lower-cost subscription offer if you don't bite on this one. Your subscription cost probably pays for less than half of their cost to produce and deliver the 12 magazines they will send you. They make their money on advertising, not on subscription fees. Not that any of that should keep you from subscribing if you want the magazine; that's just the way it works. Dan Allan; The prices of most magazines are pretty arbitrary, including Macworld.
