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!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Bwahaha!

I'm also rather fond of its answer to "What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen African swallow?"

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Since y'all are talking about Hulu, I have a question. Does Hulu crash on Macs? Or am I doing something wrong?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well, Flash in general sucks on the Mac, and Hulu is particularly resource-intensive.

How old is your Mac? Does it have an Intel or PowerPC CPU? How much memory do you have?

It's a new Macbook, Tom.

Burrell,

have you tried the standalone app for Hulu or are you watching it in Safari?

Our wings are not tired.

I love my Roku, too. It took me a year to finally hook it up after I bought it, though.

In Safari, le n. Is that the problem?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

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

Well, I knew that something would go wrong in my transition to the MacBook Pro, and it turned out a few things have.

I had to manually copy over my iTunes library. Then of course I had to authorize this computer to play songs purchased from the iTunes store. But this would be my 6th iTunes computer, so I had to deauthorize one. So I did that, but for some reason I still can't get this one to authorize correctly (it keeps coming up with the wrong email address for my iTunes account - for some of my purchased songs, anyway).

Is there iTunes Store tech support? Should I just call the tech support that you get for new Apple computers?
