Hi, Just bought the 8500 on ebay for $80 + shipping. Man they kill you with the shipping. I hope that there will be a definite improvement, and at least with the dvi port I ca…

Hi, Okay, another purchase... I wanted to be able to use the sata drive from my g5 that I recently sold so I have been researching my options: 1. sata to ide interface converter…

Hi, Just an update to everyone who helped me... I received the radeon 8500 and hard drive enclosure today. Both work great!! I'm not sure what to look for in terms of the perfo…

Anyone have a recommendation for the best RSS app for OS X 10.2? I've never used RSS before but I know it's been out there for years and I'm wondering what it's all about. I'm a…

App: Firefox + Sage Web: Google Reader

Thanks to someone else on MacNN (forget who), I've been turned onto netvibes.com. It's a fabulous little RSS/mail/everything reader on one trim little page.

NetNewsWire is the daddy of alll RSS applications. They have recently joined with NewsGator (an web based RSS reader) - if you buy a licence you get a NewsGator account. The whole …

Thanks all. I think I'm going to go with netvibes for now. Google's a great company, but I'm starting to worry about having every aspect of my life on their servers.

Another vote for NNW. It's a great app, though I'm not too happy with the newsgator syncing. Since they switched to NG for syncing, I've found my feeds to be out-of-date. I don't k…

And NetNewsWire... redirects to netnewswire.techbuyer.com ... where the largest headline is "netnewswire..com" is for sale ?¿?

I second the vote for Netvibes.com. It's the only way I've found that I like to view RSS. It lets you view dozens of RSS headlines on a single page, like a news website, and you ar…

NetNewsWire is the god of RSS readers. Plus the NewsGator syncs work fine with me - never out of sync and always in tune. its at www.ranchero.com

Safari is plenty good for RSS feeds. I just don't see why one would have a separate app for it.

I've just found one problem with NNW at the moment - NewsGator goes down, you don't get to refresh your feeds!

I am a student in the UK currently doing my dissertation about the iPod and I would be very greatful for your feedback through doing the following questionnaire: http://www.survey…

For music, any 3G or later iPod wins. I'm not sure about video yet, as I have a 4G iPod-and I'm not big on watching video on very small screens anyway.

I think this page at Daring Fireball sums up my feelings on the subject. To summarize, the iPod has achieved a kind of critical mass that will make it very difficult for other manu…

Gabe over at Penny Arcade did a comparison of WoW performance on his MacBook Pro under both XP and OS X. The results? OS X: 15 - 20 FPS XP: 35 - 40 FPS I don't care anyone spins …

Is WoW by any chance an Universal Binary?

So how does a game test the performance of the underlying OS? I could easily write 2 applications one for Windows and one for OS X, to show OS X is 100 times slower the Windows. …

The Mac dev team for Blizzard is pretty amazing, if their smart, friendly, and lucid posts on the tech support forum are anything to go by, but still, WOW for OS X (which, yes, is …
