Sad news folks, BS is taken down forever.

Oh, shite!

Yes, they are. You must have misunderstood Milind or something.

Milind's got a Core Duo iMac, not a Core2Duo one.

This is weird. I got my Time Capsule today and I set it up. Everything works just fine—it connected to my DataOne Internet connection right out of the box, started doing my backup for me and all the Macs in my house were able to get onto the network easily.

The only problem is that Time Capsule’s range does not seem to extend to the first floor in my house (it’s placed on the second floor). This is unbelievable and very disappointing. The whole reason I was tempted to buy it was because I was tired of my Netgear router’s poor range.

P.S.: I have three Macs, an iPhone and a Time Capsule in my house right now. It’s Applepr0n!

 

[goobimama]

Two things. One is the Time Capsule is a wireless n device while your MacBook pro and iPhone is g. Dunno about these other two macs you mention. Two, why dont you use the netgear router to extend the range of the capsule?

 

[aryayush]

Kinda defeats the purpose. I wanted to have an Apple-only setup, if you know what I mean. And the Time Capsule should have been able to cover a medium sized, two-story house, man.

As for my Mac and the iPhone only being 802.11g capable, what does that have to do with the range of the router? FWIW, I’ve tried it using one of the new MacBooks as well, it is 802.11n capable, and it’s no better.

Do you guys have any apps to make my mac shine?
Also is it worth to buy the AppleCare and the .mac?

 

[aryayush]

Which version of Windows should I install on my sister’s MacBook:
XP Retail SP3
XP Corporate SP3
XP x64 SP2

Currently downloading x64.

And which is the best way to make Mac OS X read/write to NTFS partitions?

----------------

Do you guys have any apps to make my mac shine?

Adium, for connecting to every messenger network in existence, including AIM, MSN and Yahoo!. Not the Rediff Bol crap though.

Also is it worth to buy the AppleCare and the .mac?

Yes, it is. You can buy AppleCare Protection Plan at the end of your first year though. Buy .mac right now. Or, at least, signup for a free trial with an ID of your choosing so that you can keep your ‘@mac.com’ email address if and when you buy .mac in future.

------------------

Time Capsule is a sexy piece of equipment, by the way. In pictures, it doesn’t look much different from the Mac Mini, but it’s much better in real life—all shiny and stuff. And it’s super silent too. Of course, it’s an Apple product so it heats up as if it’s in a furnace.

Did you feel the difference in speeds while downloading on a mac over the wireless TC. (or wired is better??)

 

[aryayush]

No, there’s no difference in speed between the wired and wireless connections. Why would there be? My connection is only capable of giving me a maxim bandwidth of 64 KBps. Even 802.11g can support several times faster connections.

 

[dinesh72]

Safari 4 is not opening HDFC TRADE website (*trade.hdfcsec.com/). If opened with user agent IE 7 the page is not loaded fully. Even opera is not opening it. Any workaround?
Also hdfc bank website is not showing menus after logging in!!

 

[cooldudie3]

I hear a lot about Quicksilver

what kind of Application is it? Is there any way Quicktime can show full screen videos without upgrading?

^^
Try Firefox or Camino or some sort of browser with a Mozilla powered engine. Or try again later

I'd say go for a x86 version.

And which is the best way to make Mac OS X read/write to NTFS partitions?

This page should help you with that. Note, my experience on the hackint0sh (Leopard) for writing on NTFS has not been that great, however, it was different on Tiger.

The above solution makes them as network drives, so you will see them under 'Computer' in the sidebar.

If I am not mistaken, Leopard has default 'Read' capability for NTFS.

 

[cooldudie3]

Any easy way to get my PC's files to my mac? I have many of my pics and music on my PC

 

[iMav]

Network - Wired/Wireless.

 

[cooldudie3]

How can I do that?
Do I need some sort of router?

I have the 60 day trial of .mac
should I put my music on .mac and then get it back from my idisk?

Setup your router on ground or first floor to get the range on all floors. It's always better not to keep it on upper floors. At least that's my experience.

I've Netgear WGR614v9 & it has excellent range & covers every nook & corner of our home.

Here are some resources on how to get better signal:
