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

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 agree with the thing about the Classic JR. - TheHenry
I thought they will introduce OLED screens in the iTouch...but seems I'm the only one.. - sebastian☆rocket brother
Not yet for OLED screens. I like the technology, but we haven't see enough other devices using OLEDs to make it a likely usage. OTOH, Microsoft needs to take that gamble, it may give them that differentiator that they so badly need. Apple, as the market leader, needs to be more conservative and stay just enough better that people don't defect. - JR Holmes
I don't think the classic will ever go away, mostly because Apple likes having synergies between its different product-lines. If smaller harddrives keep pushing higher capacities, that can be integrated in devices like the Macbook Air. And there's probably some people out there that like having their entire music-library on their iPod as well, you know as a home media system or something. - Vincent van Wylick
I haven't seen anyone with an iPod Classic in ages. - Mac64
Apple should increase Touch/iPhone storage significantly before they discontinue Classic. I have a Classic because it's the only option from Apple to keep all my media in one device - Andre P. Siregar
I hope the iPod Touch gets cheaper. - Interwebz 91

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. - ·[▪_▪]·
Yeah, I love the remote login trick too! - TheHenry
Interesting. - Question of The Day
Just did this using logmein.com on my grandma's iMac. Should have turned on her iSight to catch her reaction.. - Dan van Moll
ssh ********; osascript -e 'set volume 10'; say -v Trinoids "BOO!!" - LogEx
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

Good news, bad news: WD ships first 1 TB mobile drive, doesn't fit in Mac laptops
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

Apple Tablet Reportedly Priced Between iPhone and Cheap MacBook For 2010 - apple tablet
I'll take one, please! The price makes sense, but it''s still not cheap. - Michael Fidler
If it is priced at $499 or $599, I think we will see a huge decrease in PC sales. - TheHenry
