Just started trying out Safari 2's RSS reader (switching from
NetNewsWire).  Many of the articles appear two or even three times with
the same time stamp.  Kind of annoying.  Do others see this?

What distinguishes a podcast from an ordinary MP3 file is its ID3 tags.
While there are lots of applications which can _generate_ a podcast file
from scratch (and even submit to iTunes Store), I haven't found an app
to _edit_ those podcasts I downloaded to my Mac. ID3 editors ...

Santa brought me a new iPod Nano, and so far, I have really enjoyed
this little marvel. I can navigate iTunes just fine, and have learned
to use the iPod for my Podcast that I enjoy.
I have a few questions about iTunes, or rather the iTunes Store. If I

I am using Mac OS X 10.4.8 on a Mac Pro with the original hard drive.

Using Dreamweaver MX 2004.
I have designed a site with a centered table (filled with nested
tables). I have used the same template, just different text, pics
etc...

I have a PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz PowerPC running OS 10.4.8.  The built-in
speakers randomly stopped working.  I can't think of anything I did to
cause it.  It seems to be a software-side problem.  At the same time as
my speakers stopped going, the headphone jack started glowing red,

I restarted my Mac MINI after a software security download and when I
launched Entourage it presented me with the first sctreen of a nre

The Microsoft folder is still in my  Documents folder and the Main

software that allows you to record video as it plays in the browser.
The firefox video plug-in is useless for this since it only works on
certain sites/file types, and PageSucker will do the download but the

I use my iPod almost exclusively for listening to recorded books which
have already been ripped from other media (eg mp3s made from cassettes,
CDs, radio).  Recently the iPod has been changing to the next track a
few seconds before the end of the current track so I lose a few words ...

I'm looking for a Dashboard widget that lets me subscribe to the
comment feeds of the 2-5 blogs that I really care about. I don't want
to actually *read* the stuff inside Dashboard, I only want to see that
there's something new. It doesn't even have to be pretty. :)

Just as a precautionary check I'd like to record to a log file for a
week or two all the two-way traffic on my residential DSL connection and
Airport network -- that is, record who's talking, or trying to talk, to
whom, not what data they're actually exchanging.  Is there a Mac ...
