More likely in the APIs. I've had numerous problems with apple making changes to AppKit (and others), that cause software compiled under 10.2 or 10.3 to work fine, and software co…

I don't think you're going to be able to find any objective statements on this kind of thing, but I have heard that the 5th-gen sounds almost as good as the Shuffle, which was thou…

It's better than the 4th-gen. By about 13. (How the hell do you quantify sound quality except in relative terms?)

I wasn't looking for a specific number I'm currently using a shuffle so if a 5th gen is cmparable, that's good enough for me. I COULD get by with a 4th gen but if the SQ is signif…

We're working on putting up a web store where we'll sell T-shirts and some other nifty monster stuff, as well actually useful stuff like scanners a-la-carte. In fact, we already ha…

1) Press "Menu" about 10 times to make sure you're at the top menu. 2) Use the scroll wheel and move counterclockwise until the clicking stops. That means you're at the top of the …

The mini may not have the "Shuffle Songs" thing in the main menu. That's a relatively new feature, if I recall correctly.

that'd be it then.. i havn't updated the firmware, if i do that i'll lose the data right? hrmm, well if anyone can tell me the old way to get to it, that is through settings, i …

Updater won't delete your songs if you just update. You CAN return the thing to factory settings and no songs if you want, but just updating won't do that.

thats exactly why i have not upgraded my ipod mini to a nano or even a 30g phot / video the mini is a lump of metal, and not two seperate pieces like the ipod and the nano. if i …

Hey if you want a new display or any other parts I think I've got you covered, link in sig, and these minis are really built like tanks, me likey! lol

ArsTechnica abused an iPod nano (including running over with a car) and it worked FAR longer than you would have expected. The mini's not the only resilient iPod. tooki

I can't imagine a nano getting ran over by a car and still ticking... I ran my 4G over with a professional ride on lawn mower, besides a lot of scratches and the metal sides bent a…

You should try a crosswalk. I hear they allow you time to walk across the street without rushing in front of traffic.

Bleah, 5 minutes have passed, and it won't let me enter the poll. These were my poll options: Boot Camp - It has the best hardware support Parallels - Dual-booting sucks Both - B…

Boot Camp

BootCamp, as soon as my 120GB HD arrives. Parallels later down the road, when it's more stable/functional.

Both. They each have strengths and weaknesses. If you want to play 3D games, Boot Camp is your only choice and there are probably some cases where a peripheral or something won't w…

Bootcamp, I'd [re]consider parallels, if they resolve the usb issues and the speed didn't affect me too much and I wouldn't run into issues activating the same copy of XP (most peo…

So XP doesn't check the hardware for validation then? Cuz a Parallel's "hardware" would be different than the MacBook's, no? I haven't tried installing under Parallel's software y…

I installed the same copy of XP on Boot Camp and Parallels. I had to call Microsoft (well, someone in India, actually) to get a new code because the online activation thing wouldn'…
