I'm just about to order a Macbook Pro 15".
I don't view a lot of video on my current Laptop (Windows XP).
Should I go for the Matt screen or glossy?
Thanks

I was looking at my webstats, and I see someone has linked to my site
from example.com - this can't be possible, can it? I thought
example.com was just an example from IANA, not actual website there?

Up until now I've been happy using iPodderX, but I'm getting
increasingly unhappy with it. Not sure why, just am.
So, apart from iTunes (meh) what are people using for podcatching?

I've got an old eMac 700mhz that still performs brilliantly and gets used
everyday.  The problem I have is that it's got about 6 gigs of photos one
that aren't backed up.  My wife's said that she will cut off delicate bits
of my anatomy if they get lost.

Yes - it's true.
It was good to see photos of you guys - you ALL look like faggots. You
probably are - infact that explains why you all get so offended, ay

My MacBook turned up yesterday along with the Airport Express.
Good points:
Core 2 Duo! Fast!
Great battery life. I was using it most of the afternoon on battery and

I just received a brand new MBP DC2 and discovered a problem with
wireless connection. After installing the OS I was able to connect to
my wireless Linksys router using the default DHCP setup but I've
noticed that the download rates are very low i.e. 4Kb/sec, I have 10 MB

I have a dream.
That dream is to get groups of people together, with baseball bats.
And then to single out faggots and beat them with bats.
Hey, it's one way to get rid of Aids! What do you think?

So did you hear about that poor Russian spy who was killed?
It wasn't Putin
Where did the spy go to eat? SOHO
What is SOHO full of? GAYS

I'm fairly sure someone here once pointed out some software designed for
very young children - it responded to keypresses with patterns and
colours and so on, allowing them to imitate their computer-using parents
and have obvious/fun stuff happen on screen.

Bought a Mac book today and first time I have had one.  Can anyone tell me
how I can adjust the settings so that I can close the lid without the mac
switching off as I want to use with a larger external monitor.
Cheers,

Yes please.

I keep thinking there's some command I haven't found, every time I make
a bookmark in Safari.
To me, the obvious thing would be hit a key command Add Bookmark, which
would display a dialogue with four fields:

Does anyone know of a UK shares widget that updates prices of a
selection of shares ? I can find Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia and US but
can not seem to find a UK version ?
