Reply to PC vs. Mac in OS Wars WinCustomize Forums

I can't wait to add a new Macbook or Mac Mini to my technology arsenal but those ads are only there to appeal to the self-righteous Macfanboys. Check out the forums at apple.com it's hilarious all the "technical" information that they have "Bootcamp made my OSX unaccessable so i rushed to the Apple store and they sold me Norton System works, Thank goodness!" Yes because Apple staff obviously don't know that the OSX install disc comes with disk utility

How can your new MacBookPro give better performance on photoshop etc when adobe have yet to change to universal binaries ? I like MACs but all the arguments i hear for them and against PC's are usually from uninformed non-technical people so why would i listen ! LOL ! I run an Athlon64 3000+ on NFor

Reply to Need help with portable drives. in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

The drives in question are notebook/laptop hard drives(2.5"). They have a much lower power requirement than desktop drives so they can be powered by USB. As said above be very wary of second hand 2.5" drives as they can be damaged easily. I have one myself and i bought it very cheaply by ordering a USB 2.5" case on ebay (From Hong Kong i think) then just buying my own drive and putting it in the case. You can then happily upgrade to a bigger disk at yo

Reply to The best utilities for Mac OS X in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Burning Program | The best burning program is Toast Titanium. Mail client ? The built in mail program works better than Thunderbird (my windows fav) Anti virus ? I know there has been alot of security holes reported but just be aware of what you're clicking on and you'll have no problems. And the built in firewall is pretty bullet proof. Your Mac price premium has to pay for something !

Reply to Apple releases Boot Camp beta in Apple WinCustomize Forums

They didn't beat the hackers someone won the prize fund for dual booting on a mac weeks ago. As to the claim that Apple's machines run XP faster than PCs LOL!! Yeh I think a PC that i built to the same price as a Mac would rub the floor with this claim , My £500 AMD 64 Machine out benchmarks a iMac G5. Mac use lower performance components price them at a premium and optimize their drivers/firmware, they certainly do a good job but i'd

Reply to Are Music Downloads "Distributing by Physical Media"? in Internet WinCustomize Forums

The downloads are going onto physical media (hard disk,iPod,CD-R) without physical media there would nowhere to put the transfered data. Violating an already hard fought court decision won't sit well with a UK court or a US court he could easily have disassociated the Apple brand from the iTunes music store and didn't clamp him in irons I say

Ghost image behind dock ? in ObjectDock WinCustomize Forums

Ok this is a strange effect and i have never seen it before , i encouraged a friend to get OD and since he installed it (on to a fresh install of XP SP2) it has been showing a ghost image of the dock behind it. It is just a normal classic dock and when you hover over an icon it enlarges and you can see a duplicate of the icon behind it (but not zoomed in on) His system is a laptop with Intel Celeron M 1.4GHZ with Intel extreme graphics 512 Ram and a 40

Reply to Does paint hurt computers? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

My only advice is keep it a simple design (unless you want to go for a masterpiece like Po' Smedley) if you can use spray paint you get a much better finish and mask EVERYTHING you dont want to paint with masking tape and give ALOT of coats of laquer afterwards. I painted my old laptop and it looked great but remember it will be much more susceptible to scratches so if it moves around alot why not try out some sticky back vinyl/plastic you can make ama

Reply to Your thoughts on Marijuana in Blogging WinCustomize Forums

use a vapourizer and you can remove harmful smoke from the equation , people forget that they say Cannabis has a higher tar content than tobacco but you smoke much less cannabis.It's class C in the UK now (same as prescription drugs) The nay sayers are always drinkers and if people really worry about mental health problems associated (but not substantuated) with cannabis they should watch drunk people beat each other to death in town centers all across
