Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

How about we have a real world matchup between aayush and saurav? You know, a real fist fight. Or maybe macboys vs winboys...

Nah, I am a follower of Gandhigiri . I talk my way out even in the worst of situations like I did in Gurgaon few months back. The last time I had a dual with someone, it was in class 12 after which I try not to loose my temper.

Besides, If me & Arya fight, he will get pwned within 2 minutes. Reason is that at the extreme point of our fight, he will throw his Macbook Pro at me which is about 3 KG I guess, & I will throw my CPU (3 KG approx) + TV (cos I my monitor broke so I m using my 21" LG Flatron TV as monitor which is 15 KG approx) + rest of the stuff (2 kg).

Also, I have more things to throw at him, he only has one Notebook to throw . I got CPU, Monitor, keyboard, mouse, webcam, modem etc to throw.

Even without that.....oh well, ask neha or batty or anurag or zeeshan or anyone who has seen me in real & my *ahem* hunk looks

P.S. - I was over exaggerating. Ahinsa parmo dharam, but agar tab bhi aakal na aaye, Hinsa Uchcha dharam

THe only way arya an beat me is

1) He has to eat kabab parathe for 4 years to get the strength like I have

2) Gym for 3 years

3) Ability to run from trouble at the speed of 10km/hr

While I was typing in textedit, I accidentally pressed Shift+F5 and out popped a sort of word completing thing (like in the screenshot). I guess it works with any cocoa based application.

Btw, I was NOT typing what is in the screenshot. I'm not thaaat jobless.

EDIT: Well well well. What do you know. Goobi's suggestion was worthwhile after all. Its been displayed on TUAW's Mac101 tips feature: *www.tuaw.com/2007/07/19/mac-101-shift-f5-autocomplete/
The comments say that even hitting ESC key does the same thing, and it does...

Merge multiple PDF's with Combine PDFs 2.1

Mac OS X only: Free utility Combine PDFs does just that - it merges multiple PDF files into one. Drag and drop your PDF's onto its interface, which lets you rearrange and rotate files. When would you need to do this, you ask? At the most unexpected time - like last week, when I tried printing out my Google calendar in month view, which can only be done one page at a time. Combine PDFs was able to take July through December, mush 'em all together and gave me back one GCal PDF file. Handy! Combine PDFs is a free download for Mac only.

Blatantly copy-pasted from TUAW:*www.tuaw.com/2007/07/20/ive-wins-national-design-award/

It seems like Apple's Johnathan Ive does two things: design great products, and win awards for designing said products. So today's Ive news is of the second order-- at the National Design Awards in Washington on Wednesday, Ive picked up the product design award. According to the Washington Post, Ive was recognized for his work on the iMac, the iBook, and the iPod, but we can't help but think having the iPhone now under his belt didn't hurt either.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

Was browsing through Macworld, when this awesome news hit me.

Gears of War and Unreal Tournament coming to the Mac!

*www.macworld.com/news/2007/07/16/gearsofwar/index.php?lsrc=mwrss
Gears of War, the hit third-person action game, is bound for the Mac along with Unreal Tournament 3, Epic Games vice president and co-founder Mark Rein revealed to Game Trailers.

[blah blah blah]

Rein then added, “Don’t forget, we’re also doing Macintosh.”

“Gears of War is coming to the Mac?” asked Keighley.

“Yes, Gears is going to come to the Mac and so is UT,” said Rein, referring to Unreal Tournament 3.

Great News for the " MACBOYS "

 

[gxsaurav]

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

Nah, not gr8 news. Both Arya & goobi won't be able to play Gears in its full glory on there hardware of Macbook Pro & iMac.

Goobi will need to switch to PC with 7900GT

Aree..yar..Tht was a sarcastic reply

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

& that was a teasing reply

To bad, they both can't upgrade there computer with the time. They need to buy new Mac. On the other hand....to upgrade my 4 years old computer, I just have to buy new CPU, RAM & Motherboard & graphics card

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

I just have to buy new CPU, RAM & Motherboard & graphics card

That adds up to a new computer

 

[gxsaurav]

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

Nah, I can do this in my existing CPU Cabinet, I can use my existing Monitor, existing HDD, existing Keyboard, existing Mouse, existing webcam, existing Audigy LS, existing DVD writer which writes at 16X unlike Macbook Pro or iMac

Arya will need to buy a new Macbook Pro if he even thinks of upgrading his graphics card. Atleast Apple could have used the nVidia MXM interface or AMD Axiom

Goobi can't upgrade at all.

This is the very reason I left Apple Mac in 2001 & switched to Windows XP, the flexibility in PC hardware

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

Isn't that like a whole new computer?

Anyway, my writer burns at 16x.

Review: iDefrag

Boy did I have the wrong idea about OS X not getting a fragmented disk. Problem occured when I tried to use bootcamp to partition the macbook (12GB for xp), it couldn't. It said something stuff about data not being able to be moved.

I researched this on the net and found that OS X's disk gets a wee bit fragmented, which causes all this hoopla. So I bought this $30 application iDefrag, which comes with an app called CDMaker. Using CDmaker to create a bootable disk, I used iDefrag to defragment my Hard Drive which took like 8 hours (220GB full).

But it was worth the wait. Its almost like I've got a Mac Pro! I just have to think about launching iTunes and its on the screen (a bit of exaggeration never hurt). Photoshop takes 9.56 seconds to launch on clicking the icon.

Its not that my iMac was sluggish in any way, its just superfast now. Now I got to run it on the Macbook to see if bootcamp partitions the disk.

Hope Apple buys this application and includes it in leopard...

if anyone wants more 'info on this app, pm.
