Great. So we have a solution for movies. Photos and Music may be a bit more difficult if it is looking for them in the iTunes and iPhoto database format on the local disk. I gue…

A friend of mine worked front row out so that it could run on his PB.. no remote, so the remote check was the part of the app that he had to cut out. He has it launch with F8 and …

im using front row on my pb without a remote and it makes perfect sense to me, i have a wireless keyboard and mouse and my pb is hooked up to a 20" lcd, the only reason i wasnt abl…

from my understanding . . . . the front row hack is cool and all, but the mac mini just doesn't have enough horsepower in graphics to make it worth while . . . . http://www.podcas…

This thread isn't going anywhere... it's pretty much dead. I was proved incorrect... now isn't there a different thread for ShapeShifter benchmarks?

on my current machine there is no noticable lag whatsoever. on my previous one (G4800 / 640) the lag when launching an app was noticable.

The bickering between the unsanity crowd and gomac continues to make me giggle, but I will digress. Does anyone have any substantial proof as to what gomac or Rosyna are saying? S…

in my use, shapeshifter/mightymouse/fruitmenu...slow down my mac...a bit. if i run a test user account without ape, things are a little faster. still...not worth giving them up! i…

It's a speed hit I can notice considerably. The same with Kaleidoscope back in the day.

R~ You should put together a demo with timings, or invite others to do so—concerns about speed hits are the #2 reason people shirk from SS, right after concerns for stability.

This is an extremely negligible speedhit. I mean on the nanosecond scale here. And OS X only opens most files once so you're getting this hit once. I've noticed that humans can't t…
