TUAW Tip: Disconnect Parallels CD-ROM {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Nov 7th 2006 12:52PM I've come across the same problem. It was a little annoying for me. Now by default I disable the CD-ROM and only connect it when I need it. I do all CD burning and only need the DVD drive in Mac OS X anyway so it's not a problem for me. Good tip though. I usually use fullscreen mode so I didn't know you could disconnect from the console.
iTunes 7 turning out to have major glitches {Engadget}
Sep 14th 2006 10:43AM I'm running iTunes 7 on a 24" iMac, a MacBook, and a Powerbook. I noticed that the Powerbook needed some time to download cover art and time to process gapless playback. Over a few hours of playing it ran a lot smoother. Of course it runs faster on the faster machines but even on a machine a couple years old it seems to run fine. Intially it did not download album art but I ran get album artwork from the advanced menu and it downloads more and more each time it scans. I also tried it in the RC release of Vista without any problems. I think once it updates the library and downloads the new album art content it runs much better.

Feb 8th 2006 4:14PM I agree with flamer's grill. People still are hesitant in using credit cards on the Internet. Most people are not like us readers on Engadget. I think most people couldn't tell if a webpage is secure let alone a phone connection for payment.

You are correct. Thanks for fixing my error.
Did shortages force Apple to skip other Intel models? {Engadget}
Jan 12th 2006 1:34PM Well when they initially released the Aluminum models, the 15" came first then the 12" and 17" followed. In any case if they could it wouldn't have been a bad idea to replace those two models at the same time. My 12" Powerbook is aging fast so hopefully they replace it soon and I'll be there to pick one of those up.
Hack your 4GB iPod nano to 8GB? {Engadget}
Jan 12th 2006 1:28PM It sounds like they add extra flash chips. To add the extra flash clip it would probably add at least another hundred to the cost. I have the 4GB and I don't know if I would pay over $300 for a Nano with 8GB.
Sony displays iPod controller at CES {Engadget}
Jan 11th 2006 2:34PM It's unusual to me that audio manufacturers go to such great effor to support the iPod, but they don't support AAC in their head units on CDs. There are a few companies I've seen but I think companies like Alpine and Eclipse should as well.

Jan 11th 2006 2:25PM It's bad enough when you see people talking to themselves because they are wearing bluetooth earpieces. Now they can look even cooler wearing one of these.
The real difference in Samsung and Apple: dollars in ads {Engadget}
Jan 11th 2006 12:28PM Most products nowadays are pretty similiar in features and price. When it comes down to it, whoever markets their product better will win over the consumer.
Hands-on with the MacBook Pro {Engadget}
Jan 10th 2006 3:46PM I'm a little disappointed they didn't make too many cosmetic changes to the enclosures of both the MacBook and iMac. In any case I'm still interested in picking one of the models up.
