Anand seems to be getting a lot of opinions about Macs from people that don't have one, and have seldom used one, if at all. I'd been building PC's for so long that I guess about a year ago I'd just gotten completely bored with them. The first one I pieced together was a Commodore PC10 (XT...

If you rip your own cd's to AAC, there's no reason you'd have to use iTunes. I'm sure there are other AAC players for windows. It's not a proprietary format. Quick info about AAC

I suspect it is using Firebird internally. Isn't Safari based off Firebird? I guess that it is because the sites that have rendering problems in Safari on my mac have the exact same rendering problems in Firebird on my PC, but not in IE or Mozilla. I think Apple would be foolish to rely on an...

I think its biggest advantage over Windows Media Player 9 is that it's not Windows Media Player 9.

I probably wouldn't be switching from Winamp2 to iTunes had I not already become a fan of iTunes on my mac. Winamp2 is a great player, but I just really like iTunes now.

I like the built in radio tuner, too. I don't have to open up a browser and go to Shoutcast first.

I've downloaded it and tried it out. It's pretty much just like the mac version. I use it on my mac at home, and glad that I'll be able to use it on my laptop and work PC now.

Don't sweat it, Jules. Remember, people want to be offended so they'll have something to complain about. I thought it was funny, although I could have done a much better job photoshopping it than that :)

The Pentium M is the best notbook processor. The Pentium M is designated by Centrino only when it is used in conjunction with Intel's wireless technology. If the laptop maker choses not not use Intel's wireless solution, then they can't brand the laptop as a Centrino, although it can still use...

If there is one thing IBM does better than anyone else, it's keyboards. From their old "clicky" keyboards to the thinkpad laptops, IBM makes the best feeling keyboards (although they do still market crappy ones). I'd rather type on my thinkpad than any desktop pc anyday. Really good idea...

If you don't get the integrated Intel wireless, then it can't be branded "Centrino" but who cares, really. Besides, it's limited to 802.11b and you might want to get 802.11g anyway. I don't know if it's upgradable via firmware or a hardware upgrade or not. Me personally, I think I would spend...

No laptop feels as good as an IBM T series with the titanium composite case. Unfortunately, most of the good T series are out of your desired price range, unless you're willing to spend more than you suggested. Really try to get your hands on a T series and compare it to anything else you've...

IBM T series (A series if you want to go cheaper or need desktop replacement). IBM laptops are real workhorses, not kid toys like a lot of the plasticy Dells. If you have a way to get a hands on comparison, feel how well made an IBM T series is over something like a Dell or Sony or typical...

I use the magnets out of broken hard drives to magnetize screwdrivers that aren't already magnetized. One time, I took an Orion 15" subwoofer and lowered it over a drive until it picked the drive up. Then I sat it down on top of the other Orion 15" sub and let them sit there for a few hours...

Internet Pro keyboard for me, too. Love the usb ports, and the volume control. All their new keyboards are so ugly! I hope this one doesn't break any time soon, bc I have yet to see another one I like as much.
