Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Surely someone will do a workaround eventually.

I kind of still like the radio transmitter from the ipod to the stereo, more than purchasing a stereo just for my ipod. I have roughly a 1000 cds that will never be ripped onto my wee 6gig ipod, and I can't lose that functionality.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Our non-ipod mp3 player finally died, and we just bought a used xm radio off our buddy, so our music-listening has changed somewhat. We need to replace the mp3 player, but I gotta decide with what. Using Napster, so we're unlikely to go totally ipod. But I need to figure out what in-the-house accessories I need to bring the xm in. Despite the fact that I already have xm with directv in the living room, I want it in the office and kitchen, too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How to get around censorware

I was just wondering about that today as I have discovered that my employer is blocking rcn.com! Unfortunately, every one of the links in the boingboing article are blocked!

Does the new MacMini come with iLife or not? The MacMini front page says that "Mac mini comes with iLife ’06". But in the Software Applications section of the order page, you can either choose "None" or "iWork '06 preinstalled [Add $79]". Are they charging $79 just to install it for you?

t edit Uhhh... never mind. iLife ~= iWork.

(there's a joke in there somewhere...)

Someone tell me I don't need to drive to the Apple Store in Glendale right now to buy a new Mac Mini.

You don't. Because you already have one.

Also, I'm not buying one, and it wouldn't be fair if you did, right?

You don't need to drive anywhere -- you can just order one online.
