Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
I frequently need to search for all the Apple related threads on this forum and I have a list of keywords that I use to do so. It is a very extensive list and catches every single Apple related thread (with a few false positives). I guess there might be other people here who might want to use it so I have today decided to make it open source.
Here goes nothing:
How to go about searching?
Here's a completely useless tutorial to go with an already useless post:
1. Copy the list of keywords above (select it and hit ⌘C);
2. Click on the 'Search ▾' button in the menu at the top (third one from the right);
3. In the menu that appears, click on 'Advanced Search';
4. Paste (⌘V) the copied text into the 'Key Word(s):' text box (top left);
5. Select the 'Search Titles Only' option from the drop down menu just below it; and
6. Hit ↩ (or click on 'Search Now').
Easy stuff. LOL!

For those looking for better NTFS read write on Mac OS X can now use a better NTFS 3G driver which is based on the old shadowofgod's version but GPL this time..
Make sure MacFUSE is installed

^^ Blasphemy! And may the Lord (jobs?) strike down upon you with vengeance (no iphone for you)!!!
Kazunga! After a one and half years of using the remote like a ******, I finally got to see the 'low battery' warning on the screen. It's much like when you put the mac to sleep, it shows a dark screen with the remote, the battery compartment out, and the battery flashing on and off.... the remote still works, but only if pointed straight at (earlier, I could even use it from behind)...

Yeah. Those normal CRsomething30whatever batteries available at most electronic shops. Costs 30 bucks. (Also known as motherboard battery)
I don't think you will see it so soon. I have this habit of changing the volume in one movie sitting like a hundred times. And I've watched so many...

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
No seriously. Even though there's a bigger screen and better sound on the PC, I still find it really convenient to use my remote whenever I'm not getting sleep or something (which is quite often). TV shows I exclusively watch on the Mac. Music as well... I hardly use my PC.
An interesting development:
I showed my dad that Introduction of Macintosh video. "Hey I used to work on that. Huub had it when I was in holland". Somehow he failed to mention this before... apparently it was a really big deal when he bought it. Lots of people used to come just to see what the macintosh was all about...
And as a sidenote, Huub (someone from holland), has continued working on a Mac since those days and now uses a Mac Pro. He has never "used" a PC...

Awesome! I would like to meet such a guy. A hardcore Mac user.
(I guess I will one day when my sister grows up. She has never "used" a PC till date and I'll try to make sure no one subjects her to it.)
And your Dad actually used the original Macintosh? The Mac! Awesome! I guess you had it in your genes then...

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
Well he's a painter and uses his mac for all kinds of initial conceptualization. Tried a PC, and said it felt like he was using a 'machine' instead of the feeling of a natural canvas which the mac offers. And you need that for art...(these are not tales I'm pulling out of my head... I met this guy like a couple of months back)
You never know. The next story might be that my real grandfather is actually Paul Jobs...

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
The iMac range, IMHO, is the most value-for-money one in the entire Macintosh line-up. The sexiest Mac with a 20" monster for a screen with the latest processor and stuff for only sixty thousand odd bucks. You gotta be kidding me!
I don't want a desktop. There is just no reason for me to buy one. But I still will - only because I want one of those on my desk. Those are mind blowing!
