Can some kind knowledgeable sole enlighten me as to what happens to emails
when archived them via the Google web interface?  Clearly they vanish and can

there is no Archive folder that Mail app can see.

Friend wants to manage his songs on my itunes. How?

ProKit (whatever that is) goes to 4.5.
iPhoto goes to 7.1.2.
Can 10.5.2 be far behind?

Interesting tidbit from Wil Shipley's blog [1]:

If you side-step the question about actually needing to deploy AV on Macs,
and if you were deploying them into a Windows based environment that uses
Symantec AV Corporate edition, would you be happy using the Mac version?
Anyone using it? Does it cause any issues or just work?

I read this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Game_%28Scientology%29
It made me sick.
I hope that stupid bunch of c.nts are exposed for what they are.
Remember people, stay within the law and don't do stuff like attack

I have an administrator account on the desktop computer at home, but my
working account on my laptop is not an administrator.
When I connect to the desktop machine across the LAN and try to move
files, I keep getting "You don't have permission to do that" messages.

Anyone noticed the Mitchell & Webb UK versions of the Mac adverts have
disappeared from Apple's website?  What's that all about then?  Did they

I've been thinking of doing this for a while. The Register used to be a
good source of tech news. Now it's mostly drivel. Uniformed drivel at

it these days.

I've a small wired network connecting my collection of  Macs to an

designers had *used* a stopwatch with a lap counter before they programmed
it?
The point of a lap counter, FWIW, is that it records the time when you press

The Air could have had a significantly smaller footprint than the
MacBooks, but they'd have lost their 0.16" boast.
Checking the disassembly photos at

I have a 16Gb iPod Touch. In general it's lovely, just as good as I'd
hoped. It's running vanilla 1.1.3.
I'm sending music and pictures to it via iTunes 7.6. As far as music is
