yeah. But there's a scene at the movie, Wall-E boots with Mac's Boot chime... - Melih

Thanks for these. I wonder if the "defaults" arguments to set the screen capture file type also apply to Grab.app, since I'm sick of having to manually convert the TIFF files that it produces to PNG... - Tyson Key

i'm still using Leopard.. :(( - gozdeep

Agree that the Touch will likely get a camera, likely the same as the present iPhone. The Nano is likely to also get a camera (the case manufacturers photos make this likely), but I expect it to be a still-only device. Some are predicting that the Classic will go away altogether, but I could see one more capacity increment before it does so. The Touch will also get a capacity jump which will look like a price cut when you compare price vs capacity. Just my synthesis of the grapevine discussion. - JR Holmes from Nambu

I hope the iPod Touch gets cheaper. - Interwebz 91

Sweet! Thanks for sharing. - Kurt Kringle

Very Cool! - Interwebz 91

Never heard of the USB Mini fridge! - Interwebz 91

Looks very promising. - TheHenry

Years ago, I used to let a friend use my Mac and i'd log in from another machine and do this all the time. He was so confused. - ·[▪_▪]·

I love to SSH into a Mac, and then run this command. Freaks them out every time! - TheHenry

I'm sure there's some Mac users who are also GTD fans. This podcast is an interview with OmniGroup CEO Ken Case, explaining how OmniFocus works for a GTD workflow. - Ian Betteridge from Bookmarklet

I'm a Mac user who is a GTD fan, but I had a hard time using OmniFocus. I eventually wound up using my own system, mostly in Evernote. OmniFocus is solid software, but it felt like using a cannon where a small rifle was more appropriate. - Trent Hamm

It actually took me a while to get to grips with. The big "lightbulb" moment was realising that I was using projects wrong - I had a load of "Projects" which were in fact Areas of Focus. After that, it all fell into place. Plus, I'm an iPhone user, and the iPhone app is really cool. - Ian Betteridge

this seems fairly obvious. One is a dedicated camera and the other is a phone which also has a camera. Why are they even being compared? - Bill Rawlinson

Some tech pundits have said the iPhone 3GS is drinking the Flip camera's milkshake. - Andrew Leahey

The comparisons being made were really between the 3GS and the non-HD flip, so this is effectively useless. Of course the HD flip is going to look better. - Dan Dashnaw from BuddyFeed

"Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.5.8" - TheHenry from Bookmarklet

Macs ftw! - Heather

How about focusing their money on creating a better operating system - Robert D'Alesio

At least not in the current unibody Mac laptops. It's a tight fit in the preceding form factor models though. - ronin

same thing happened when the 500gb ones came out. it'll be another 3 months or so before they can make them fit. I think that's how long it too them to "fix" the 500gb ones. - John Wang

Hopefully it'll take less time to release 7200rpm 1TB drives than it did with the 500 ones. - ronin

I'll take one, please! The price makes sense, but it''s still not cheap. - Michael Fidler

How to protect the screen? - Ccming

I didn't notice this before - Mac Office now includes support for Office Live, including editing, check in and out, all from within the application. - Ian Betteridge from Bookmarklet

I just installed Fluid this weekend and I am not quite sure what I have done without it. I love having Google Reader and Google Docs in its own wrapper vs a random Browser Window / Tab. - Zach Holmquist

Me too Zach. It is great! - TheHenry
