I don't know the iTrip thing. I see a lot of cheap iPod chargers are available for as less as 300/- . I'd not risk my iPod of around 8000/- being fried by a charger that has no proper circuitary for smooth flow of DC current. Car chargers are real bad. Chances of damage may be low but the risk is always high. Either buy a branded iPod chargers available or charger via your USB. Thats my opinion and its not gonna change

The blu ray drive that I spoke of is in internal drive for Mac Pro. Search the archives of TUAW you might find it. But I guess its kind of pointless to even be thinking of blu ray drives.

Yes, it's a FM trans-receiver. And iPod charges worth 300/- are fine, they cause no damage, off course precaution is needed that you don't buy something fake or really cheap Chinesse stuff.

Yes, aliases are working fine for me since day one. Make sure you are using me.com and not mac.com for the alias.

No, I don’t follow him on Twitter. I knew “Nikhil Tailang” even before I joined Twitter, most probably from orkut. I think he was a member of the “Mac Lovers” community and I was a frequent contributor out there (and that was where I was awarded the title of “Mac Genius”).

Congrats first off
Okay looks like time to create an Orkut account for Mac Lovers. Could you just link me to the exact url of the community, I think I'll create orkut account right away, not with my name but with something like KournikovaBug

Thanks everyone who welcomed me to the family
@aryayush Yes, you might be knowing me from orkut
Ok, here's my first question on this thread..
How can I reduce the file-size of the screenshots that I take using cmd+shift+3 or 4? A little compromise in quality won't be a problem.

Are you sure its the file size and not the image size that you want to reduce ??
To reduce the file size you can crop the image, set a little lower resolution, resample it and stuff like that.
You can do this with so many apps available in Mac, try the default one i.e. Preview.
Open the image in Preview, go to Tools and select Adjust Size... and try your settings..
Could you invite or give the exact url of the Mac Lovers community on orkut ??

Yes, I want to reduce the file size. I don't want the dimensions (height and width) to change.
I tried the options in Preview, but it doesn't work the way I want.
Reducing the resolution doesn't affect the size much.
Is there an option to choose the file type (jpg, png, etc.) of the screenshots?
I'm sure if it allows me to save the image as JPEG, it will let me choose the quality too.

^^^If you want smaller file sizes you need to have images in formats like jpeg. Any app will allow you to save an image as jpeg, I think you know 'Save As..' option
Try reducing the resolution of the images, if the image size is already in kbs you won't get any reasonable reduction in size

That's exactly what I wanted to do - Change something in Preferences.
And I found a solution here. Others who use the screen capture utility might find it useful.
It involves changing the defaults through the Terminal.
{done by executing the following command
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg
}
I'm now using JPG as my default file type for screenshots and it greatly reduces the file size, without affecting the quality much.
