Macintoshs label not appropriate

Whether or not Macintosh is an "impatient whiner" is subject to personal opinion. It is NOT appropriate, however, for him to be officially labeled as such by the administration of these boards.

USB or "regular" speakers?

430 byte By fishdoc at 2008-3-7
So, I decided to finally spring for some decent speakers for my computer (currently a CRT iMac, but moving up to a G4 iMac this summer).

KILLER APP for the iPhone

What the iPhone truly needs to succeed, in view of its obvious disadvantages (high price, limitation to Cingular, small memory for music/video, lack of voice dialing, etc.) is a KILLER APP.Such an app could well be DICTATION SOFTWARE (since a microphone is already present, and a stripped down OS X...
