A while back on the G-Books forum, I believe, were some tips to get Youtube
working on older G3 Powerbooks. I think some of those tips could work for you,
too. There's a way to type in extra code to the navigation bar to force the
video into a lower quality setting, and some other workarounds.
Thanks guys, I will give the forum a look.
I am just sick off the sheer number of pointless, snide comments on there.
Mainly in this vein:
User : I can't get x to work because...
senior member : if you use it properly it WOULD work, dimbass newbie.
Why?! Just why?!

Looks like it shouldn't be a problem, providing you're running 10.2 or up.

At least the Mac forums don't usually have tl;dr (at least I would hope not).
There is almost nothing I find more annoying than someone who has nothing to
add to a well thought out conversation (and is in fact too lazy to even bother
to find out what the conversation is) posting a response
It's so nice to see I am not alone. I would rant more, but it's 6:15 pm, and
I want to get home. I want to give them a pei e of my mind, but there is no
use in that

I've been looking for a new hard drive for our iMac.
So far I've seen several 2 Tb models at $109, some even shipped. Anyone have
recommendations for the best brands?
Last thing I need to do is spend the money, installing a badly-made HD!!
Thanks,

WD is very good, I would avoid Seagate; they have certain lines of drives that
tend to fail. The smaller companies (Hitachi, Samsug, etc.) can sometimes be
OK, but I would definitely recommend WD. From my experience they're the most
reliable drives.

Yesterday I got the kernel panic message, You need to restart your

Thanks for the suggestions and opinions.
I do like to browse, it's as informative as a magazine, but free. I sift

discovering, but if I need help, I know to come here!

When that information appears on the desktop, near the bottom is

Hello again peoples!
I was wondering if there was a way of improving the quality of dvd
playback on my 27 imac (long shot,I know)
Sitting at the desk, the size of the screen doth result in a rather
pixelated experience.
I am using iDVD.
Is there third party software that improves quality or
Agreed. BluRay movies are at 1080p, and even though the 27 iMac is a lot
higher resolution then 1080p, it'll be way better then what's probably 480i or
even 720i coming off of a DVD. Other then that... Sit farther away... ? There's
not much you can do. It's the video quality burned on the DVD
Cheers
I would tweek the res, but i am doing other things on the desktop at
the same time. Maybe apple should tone down on the huge screens!
I have VLC, but was hoping for a more integrated experience, but what
the hell, i will try it.
As far as Blu ray is concerned, I have read um's and ah's

WOW removing all 'ACL's may not be the best thing to do, i.e.
Technically seen, an ACL is a list of individual rights which can be

Hi Walter,
Tina is correct. If the permissions in the Get Info window appear as custom,
this indicates that ACLs are in effect. You can check this in the Terminal
using the following commands:
cd /Volumes
ls -le
Access Control Lists provide more granular control of permissions than POSIX
Thanks Jim.
