» What do you do when you're on hold?  ...  Last Reply: 11 months ago by cooper.

I wander around, thinking about random things until I'm no longer on hold. If I try to do something else, like check the feeds, I forget why I'm calling. >_>

» This is why you should buy a Mac  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by winnopeg.

Sorta a similar thing here too, except I live in Canada. No Apple stores around, so you have to take it to a repair centre, and they're so slow...

1.83GHz MacBook Pro w/ AppleCare:

  • faulty battery - replaced
  • faulty motherboard - replaced
  • left fan stops working - replaced
  • spacebar on the keyboard stops working - replaced
  • right fan melts - replaced (no damage done)
  • faulty battery again - replaced
  • No replacement, no solution to the random system/application crashes. Can't say there's been much of anything in the past few months though, other than application crashes.

    Apple's amazing with anything else though - when my iPod Mini's scroll wheel died, I had a new one in my hands by the end of the week. When my next two sets of iPod headphones, I had new sets sent no questions asked. When my MightyMouse's scroll wheel died for good, they sent me a new one. (It's died again, but I haven't called yet.)

    » What Kind of Car do you drive?  ...  Last Reply: 8 months ago by estarla.

    My Mom's '94 Buick Skylark. It's ugly and stuff, but it's only got 50,000km on it and it never breaks down so it's not that bad. :p

    Dream car: 200x Mini Cooper. Not kidding.

    » What games are you playing now?  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by Scrivs.

    At this very moment, I'm working on Halo 3 primarily. I beat it on Legendary, but I haven't gotten the achievement for it; gotta go back and sort that out. At the same time I'm also working on Skate (still), and I need to get by butt around to getting a few achievements in Yaris and Tetris Splash.

    I've pretty much given up on Bankshot Billiards 2 at the moment, and I haven't gotten around to The Orange Box, Test Drive Unlimited or Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (thinking I might just sell it). For once I've got too many games to play.

    Though I bought Super Mario World through the Wii's Virtual Console feature, I've pretty much given up on it as well. The Wii has once again been abandoned, and it's hard. :/

    After reading Paul Stamatiou's post on FriendFeed, I signed up to give the service a try. It's basically a large aggregator of many popular social sites and helps you keep track of what other people are up to online, like the home feed with Facebook. Thing is, I don't know anyone else who has a profile. :p

    » Twitter Vs Pownce  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by TechMalaya.

    Twitter. I tried Pownce when it first came out but there was nobody else using it and I really didn't care for the service. Twitter offers a much nicer experience in my eyes (I haven't noticed downtime in a while) and Twitterrific is great.

    » How do you say it?  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by Esherido.

    Since reading something about this on Digg not too long ago I've been trying to say "OS ten" but I often forget and just say "OS X" as I always have. It'll take some time to get out of the habit I guess.

    » Do You Use More Than One Computer?  ...  Last Reply: 6 months ago by Kamigoroshi.

    I've got my MacBook Pro and a PC, but I only use the PC maybe once every couple months. The only time it sees regular use is when my MBP breaks, actually.

    » Blog Post Length?  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by Andrew.

    I don't go by words, but I believe my last few posts have all been in the 1000 word range.

    I hate going to read a blog post to find out it's only a few lines long.

    » Anyone Installed Leopard Yet?  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by greghickman.

    Upgraded tonight. I erased my Tiger install, installed Leopard and migrated my data from my SuperDuper! backup. Overall I like what I'm seeing, and opening apps happens 100x faster than they did on my Tiger install. Still, not to impressed that the second time I opened the new Mail it crashed instantly; I've only been using Leopard for about an hour. :p

    Just open the damn box and upgrade already, there's no monumental changes that are going to destroy your system. If you're that worried just make sure you have a good backup.

    1400 exactly. The number of songs I actually listen to: 95 (I put them in a playlist).

    » The random venting release note  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by winnopeg.

    I'm actually feeling fine today (which is unusual, usually I'm pissed). I bet it has to do with the fact that I didn't get several hours of homework today and I published my first blog post since June last night. =)

    » Apple's Leopard Not Worth It For Me  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by Griffith.

    Personally, I don't care if it's worth it... I want to be able to run the new versions of apps I've already paid for; running outdated software is of no appeal to me.

    » What's your favorite item in your home?  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by darkmotion.

    My least favorite part would have to be my bed. I got this new Serta mattress not to long ago (it was a gift) and it's so uncomfortable...

    My favorite item would have to be my MacBook Pro. It gives me lots of grief, but it offers the most things for me to do (I get bored, fast).

    » What was something you were into before it became popular?  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by lorenjohnson.

    iPods. I was the first person at my school to buy one (a second generation Mini) and within a week two other people had an iPod. :)

    » What screen saver are you using?  ...  Last Reply: 4 months ago by RightOn.

    I don't use one, and I never have. When I'm not at the computer, my MacBook Pro's display gets dimmed to it's minimum, and the computer stays on 24/7. I find screen savers to be annoying and the MBP often crashes when waking from sleep mode.

    » Some things I found out about iPod Touch from Apple Chat(on their site)  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by winnopeg.

    Surprisingly, the ipod touch after its 6th or 7th incantation still does not have a radio functionality.

    The iPod Touch is a first generation product; it's not the new standard iPod (which, counting the iPod Classic as one, is at it's 6th generation). ;)

    But yeah, I must say the screen isn't what you want to worry about scratching. With my iPod Touch in a Ziploc bag (makes a good temporary case) inside a special iPod pocket in my backpack, mine has already managed to produce several scratches on it's back, and I literally don't even set it down on tables / desks without it being set on it's polishing cloth. It's retarded.

    » Are You Ordering Mac OS X Leopard?  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by RightOn.

    Pre-ordered it from the online Apple Store last night.

    I'd say it's worth it, but I can't seem to think of any reasons to list off.

    +1 for Media Temple. I know I've bitched about them in the past, but I have no plans to move to another host.

    » Ali2 Essentials: Cliques  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by Scrivs.

    Might I suggest that a description be added to the individual clique page that explains what it's about? For the most part the names are self explanatory, but it would still be helpful if there was a little paragraph or whatever explaining exactly what the group is about (like flickr groups).

    » Which OSX IRC Client?  ...  Last Reply: 9 months ago by JulianMontez.

    I use IRC so little, Colloquy does the job just fine. I'm a total IRC n00b; I know how to join a channel and talk, and that's about it.

    The quotes on bash.org are still fun to read though. :p

    » What games are you playing now?  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by Scrivs.

    My 360 bricked the day before Halo 3 came out, so I haven't gotten a chance to play it or any of the other amazing 360 games that have come out recently. All I've got to play is my Wii, so I've been trying to finish up Excite Truck for the past two weeks and I just started into Super Mario World (from the Wii's Virtual Console).

    Previous to the 360 dying, I was playing Skate and Bankshot Billiards 2. As soon as I get a working 360, I'll be playing Skate, Bankshot Billiards 2, Halo 3, PGR 4, Test Drive Unlimited, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (came free with Halo 3), possibly some Orange Box and whatever other great games come out in the near future. I'm gonna be swamped.

    » The New MacBook Pros  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by 15art.

    Seems like a nice upgrade to the line up, but not enough to get me to upgrade from my 1.83GHz MacBook Pro. Now if Apple were to come out with a miniature, cheaper version of the Mac Pro...
