Reply to Microsoft Offers Employees With iPods Amnesty in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Not when you can slap the new Toshiba 100gb hard drive into it or maybe the new 120gb once it has been tested. Though, what is with all this pissant ramblings anyways. Grow up kids! You can't take a joke from Microsoft but you expect Microsoft to take Apple's jokes? Like the PC versus Mac commercials? Seriously, even my hardcore Apple fan friend dislikes the facts that some of those commercials try to pass off as gospel truth. Get over it all and get an audio player of your

Reply to Zune - an alternative to iTunes in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I absolutely LOVE how people are pointing fingers at Microsoft for the DRM issue. Do they point that same finger at Apple? Are you so blind that you can't see who is really to blame for all that DRM junk? Do you think Apple and Microsoft would want to introduce that junk to their players when it would have been easier for them not to? Its the RIAA at fault for all this DRM stuff that is overtaking the DAP (Digital Audio Player) World.

Excellent blog article. I am laughing and crying for those who still don't get it and refuse to WAKE UP. General Cody put it best when he referred to the situation as a battle of wills and if we, the U.S., buckle than its over. If we lose there not only do more innocent people die but the virus will think we are weak and pursue us even back to our homeland. In their eyes a person can be either one of two things, either you are strong or wea

Reply to iPod Turns 5 - Everyone Gets all Misty-Eyed in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I don't know whether to be happy, sad or angry. I grabbed a iPod Nano 2nd Gen 8gb and have only owned this thing since Oct. 10. On Oct. 19th the Dock Connector on the iPod Nano no longer allows it to connect with the computer but HEY it does allow it to charge. So I have to send it back to Apple, which they will see what the problem is and most likely have to send another one with engraving...ah well, its a good thing I picked up that extended Applec

Reply to EU Taking on Intel? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

AMD is suffering? Did they just not acquire their own video card company, ATI? I think AMD is taking their "Underdog" stuff a wee bit too far. Seriously, in the home market AMD is toe to toe with Intel and with the acquisition of ATI, AMD should be able to put packages together that combine the powerful processor with powerful video card all in one package. How could Intel answer back to that?

If you have a Windows CD and don't want to deal with the hassle of moving her to Linux or another OS, as with a new OS some problems are fixed but new problems do arise. Use nLite Link in combination with MicroWinX Link and turn her computer into an Internet/Gaming Kiosk that is immune to Viruses, Spyware, uses little resources and is still Windows.

Reply to All Versions of Windows Vista on One DVD in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Nice idea, instead of needing a DVD for each version, a person only needs one DVD. $249 for five years plus is a good deal for an OS that has proven itself to be good with each new version. NT, 2000, XP Pro and soon enough Vista Ultimate. I can understand some users wanting a family pack and its silly they don't add that into their thought processes. As for the price, its pretty good for an upgrade and since its good for at least 10 yea

Anything that gets people to read more books is okay by me and it seems to be more a Classic Literature approach so that the people who would be losing money due to this are dead (Shakespeare, Dante, et cetera). However, if the author is still alive they need to get permission... obviously. People reading = GOOD Stopping people from reading = BAD Heh. - X

Also, Leopard has these new features coming with it, yet did they mention that several of those new features were Open Source projects on OSX? Did Apple give the courtesy of a 'Thank You' or the Microsoft 'Buy Out'? Nope. Instead, Apple claimed they invented it, how can they hope to keep Open Source software makers onboard when they will crush them and not even acknowledge the work that Apple will blatantly steal from these Open Source S

Reply to Why do people hate the Mac so much? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Personally, what did it for me were the Mac vs PC ads. The amount of disinformation in those ads has even upset loyal Mac users. A company is telling me that first a PC is Windows only and that I can't do neat things on it because it’s not a Mac. Hogwash!! Apple would have an easier time moving their OS into the same ring as Linux, a multi-platform OS. They could still sell the computers to the Mac users willing to pay a premium and gain

Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2.0, Flock and Opera 9 are good browsers. The key thing is that a person uses a browser and the browser does what the person wants it to. For compatibility sake with my school I use Internet Explorer 7 as Firefox starts to choke on some of the pages. I use Firefox over Flock when I have to download some Microsoft components as Firefox has the WGA Validator Plugin. I use Flock now as my main browser when I do

Reply to Will Vista increase demand for skinning? in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Its Skinners and the skinning community that makes skinning big. As long as the OS allows for skinning there will always be a skinning community on that OS. However, it will be interesting to see how much skinners can squeeze out the new OS in regards to their skin. Will skinners be able to surpass the benchmarks they have set with XP? I for one can't wait to see what skins I will be able to use on Vista.
