I use increase, its a great program.
BTW, does anyone else think it would be cool if those who folded for MacRumors regularly got to get an icon or something next to their username to show their contributions?

Hey everyone, just thought I would share a website that I originally happened upon, when someone discussed Cocktail. Rixstep did a review of the program and gave it a real beatdown for what it properly deserved, along with other programs such as MacJanitor.
www.rixstep.com
However, I think within the last few months or so, Rixstep has gone from a website that reccomends alternative operating systems and cheerleading Mac OS X, Rixstep has totally gone in the opposite direction and goes out of it's way to completely beat the hell out of Apple in it's articles. I mean, they give Apple no mercy whatsoever.
Rightfully, they gave Steve Ballmer a hell of a beatdown in a faux-interview about Windows Vista's upcoming release, delays in the release, and the rush to gold while hacking and slashing features.
I readily agree with them on many points but it just seems that within the last few articles they're not even bothering to give a viable alternative. They're just beating the **** out of anyone who makes an operating system or a computer product (they absolutely love beating Apple over the head with their Intel Switch, and it's like they find delight in everything that goes wrong)
I think at one article they basically said the only alternative today is Ubuntu Linux. Now, don't get me wrong. I think Linux is a great operating system, and Ubuntu is what i've used to learn my way around Linux. It's a very nice system but it still is not ready for primetime just yet. I have yet to have a seamless upgrade from a Breezy Badger to Dapper Drake distro, which makes or breaks a OS in a office environment.
I'm just really upset that a website that I read seemed to have some very good pieces of writing, and some very good points of view, suddenly just starts beating Apple over the head for everything they do, without really giving me a viable alternative to consider. It's like Apple was their girlfriend that decided to break up with them, and now they're mad as a bull and trying to make life miserable for them.
Thoughts?

If I said that I could do that if I really wanted to, would that go back to makign me a candidate for MPD?

Why is it that Adobe are consistently setting high standards?
What is it about this company that others can't seem to match?
This sounds like a good idea, and if they can get MS and half-a-dozen or more big camera manufacturers on board then it could take off.
However, I wonder what DRM scheme it might have embedded in it.
(Can't wait to try importing one of these into Quark 9.3 and watching it crash...)

I think it will be a slightly different interface, but the version will definitely be iTunes 4. I also wouldn't expect to see it until at least MWNY 2003. I heard that Apple has run into a ton of problems with rendevous in 10.2.1, and that's why they haven't released it yet.

DO NOT install this bad boy if you still have work to get done for the day. Install it before you go to bed. It may sound odd, but Tiger runs slowly for the first eight hours of uptime or so because Spotlight is indexing the hard drive. And in addition to that, users need to try and not run any apps while spotlight is indexing because it puts undue stress on the hard drives. After spotlight indexes tho, WHEW! Flaming. Everything I do is just that much faster, and H.264 is the absolute bomb. Less than 2 megs per second for way better than DVD quality video. Anyway, the 29th is coming.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I must speak about the graphic Cards Apple takes for its Product line. Thats a Point I misslike !!!
PM
low --> Geforce 4 MX
middle --> Radeon 9000 PRO
high --> Radeon 9000 PRO
These Cards are too bad for the Power Mac Line.
Look a Geforce 4 Ti4200 very good card has nearly the same Price like the Radeon 9000 Pro and the Gf4 Ti4200 is Faster !!!
And I dont can understand how you can build a card like the Radeon 9000 in THE HIGH END ?!?!?
These would be good and serious !
low --> Radeon 9000 PRO
middle --> Geforce 4 Ti 4200
high --> Geforce 4 Ti 4400 or 4600
Ti books are very Good !
iBook needs a Bump on graphic power (by the way)
And the iMac I think also need more power in graphic, when the next update of the iMac will still have a Gf2 I will laugh because noobody uses this cards more ( on the market) and the have no power !
Apple has a Big alliance with Nvidia much of you also think that there will be a Nforce Board for the Power Mac, so why not Simple use the things which Nvidia is very famous and good ???
Yes graphic acceleratetors !
By the way you can take MSI Geforce Cards and make a Flash rom and have a full Mac Geforce card for half the price !?!?
So the cards are not expensive in production and its not much work to put this cards in the Mac ! So why there are no good cards like the Geforce4 Ti4200 or 4400 for the Mac user ???
:mad:

A Mac Mini in a car better have some serious self-powered heating and cooling system! Not to mention its very own waterbed for shock protection! :eek:
Or maybe it could stand the extremes if the HD were replaced by a RAID of flash chips?
Anyway, I bet the project will draw an upsurge of interest from the Windows switcher DIY crowd too! Might even draw some new people into programming Mac software :)
EDIT: Yes, OS X voice commands can trigger AppleScripts, and iTunes is controllable that way. (Better yet, maybe, with Automator in Tiger.) Unless the music interferes :)
I see no iTunes voice control scripts ready-to-go in Panther. But wow, Address Book is sure loaded with voice control!

Does iTunes really only sell you a license to the track? Is this in writing anywhere?
It's not just iTunes, but all copyright law. A CD is a license to use the track, not ownership of the song's music or lyrics. An AAC from iTunes is the same. Same with movies and software, etc. In any situation, you are buying a license to use the song, not to take ownership of the song (unless you're buying the *rights* to a song, then you really do own it).

PSN pricing puts VC prices to shame.
This is probably the only reason Sony made PSN prices so cheap, don't you think?

I won't try to predict exactly how it will stack up to the x86 and x86-64 offerings in late 2003/early but when it finally ships the 970 certainly won't spanking anything from Intel or AMD in the SPEC benchmarks. It should, however, enable Apple to avoid the kind of overpriced embarrassment (from a hardware perspective, at least) that is their current "pro" desktop line. And in fact a dual- or quad-970 system could potentially compare quite nicely in terms of price/performance to a single-processor Prescott or Hammer machine.
Is Apple going to shoot itself in the foot again?!?! This is not acceptable, if they have the thing available, use it. Damn, and damn again....
D ...but they don't have the thing available. They can't use it until it comes out, same as any other product. That means late summer 2003 at the VERY EARLIEST. Also, the SPEC numbers for the 970 are 3-5 times the G4's, and while the G4 IS slower than the competition, it isn't 4 times slower. If the 970 behaves like the G4 on SPEC, then real world performance may be significantly better. Also, they don't state what compiler they're planning to get those numbers with, if it's GCC we're in luck. If it's some ubercompiler, then the numbers probably mean more (since that's what Intel's using).

All in all, its still a deal and should get many people to consider buying an Apple from Apple. But I'm more curious as to why they're doing it - trying to get rid of stock? Or is it more of a holiday special?
