    New Apple Keyboard in Windows

    Hey has anybody tried hooking up one of those new Apple keyboards (the wired USB one) to Windows Vista? If so how usuable is it? Are there homemade drivers that let you use all the keys? I kind of want a metal keyboard...

    Dell Inspiron 1405 and Vista Aero

    I am thinking about getting a Dell 1405 for a family member and I want to make sure that it will run Vista Aero (glass) reasonably well. I found this on Dell's website: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/glob...tions/en/vista_pcs?c=us&cs=&l=en&s=gen I was wondering - has anybody tried...

    The Real Story on Vista Delay

    OK so according to Paul Thurrot Vista was not actually delayed. What happened was it's getting released in October and that is too late for the *lazy* hardware manufacturers to ensure a "great out of box experience", which Microsoft wants them to be able to do. Hence the consumer delay...

    PS3 Hack?

    I was just thinking - if the PS3 ends up running Linux like Kutaragi keeps saying it will, then does that mean it will be vulnerable to various software mods? I'm not incredibly knowledgeable with Linux but it seems that the standard desktop and server versions are not really designed for...

    360 Hard Drive Upgrade Idea

    Hey Guys - see what you think about this idea. OK so you can take apart the 360's hard drive and inside is a regular notebook hard drive (this we know): http://www.anandtech.com/systems/showdoc.aspx?i=2610&p=5 So why not do the following: take apart your hard drive, buy a 100 GB drive...

    The Waiting is the Hardest Part

    I pre-ordered an Xbox 360 in early July and I didn't make the first shipment at the EB Games in downtown Providence. Now I have to wait while lots of *assholes* are sitting around playing their 360s. The injustice. It reminds me of when Homer Simpson gets a gun but there is a 3-day waiting...

    Linux Server Distro Question

    Hi, I'm pretty much a Windows-only developer. I want to set up a Linux box just for fun, though. The box would ideally just be for serving (PHP), and so what I really want is Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Enterprise Server 9. The problem is these products AREN'T free. What the heck is...

    Google in trouble?

    It seems to me that now that Microsoft has gotten its ducks in a row - Vista development is back on track, SQL Server/Visual studio are released, Xbox 360 is pretty much out of the gate - that they are now diverting attention towards Google. Check out page 2 of this article...

    Windows OneCare Live Preview

    I currently use Norton AntiVirus but this looks promising: http://www.bentuser.com/article.aspx?ID=312 NAV gets the job done but it's a bit clunky and in need of an update.

    IE7 Beta v. FireFox Beta

    Here's a foaming-at-the-mouth comparison between the FireFox Beta and IE7 Beta: http://www.bentuser.com/article.aspx?ID=311 At least, as someone who appreciates Microsoft, it comes across to me as foaming-at-the-mouth. What do you guys think about IE7 v FireFox?

    Axim x50v and Media Center PC

    Hi Guys, I know that Media Center 2005 can automatically transcode your TV shows and other videos for a Portable Media Center (PMC), like the Creative Zen PMC. I was wondering if this also works with a Pocket PC 2003 SE/WMP 10 Mobile Device? If so, have you actually tried it? How well deos...

    Samsung iPod Killer?

    Has anyone seen a Samsung YH-925GS in the flesh, so to speak? http://product.samsung.com/cgi-bin/nabc...tail.jsp?eUser=&prod_id=YH-925GS%2fXAA I converted the dimensions from MM to inches and it's almost exactly the same size as an iPod 20 GB. The YH, though, has a color screen and photo...
