Also, find me a torrent site with more than 10 mac torrents :-P

I like using headphones over speakers. I have a printer and scanner but connected to another computer.

As for other people you could check out the spymac gallery? All these setups show speakers and other stuff like printers etc...

Everyone is realizing that it'll take Apple two tries to get the PowerBook G5 just right, and that'll be a while. The first revision will probably have horrible heat problems, that they'll probably fix in the second revision.

i disagree. it seems they have the powerbook perfected. if they can just put a g5 proc in there, without my lap getting burned to **** and change nothing else about it i would most deffinatly get one.

Some of us are happy to have them stick with a G4. I don't think heat is the only reason they've not got G5s in them.

The 1.5GHz G4 in that Powerbook is pretty much neck-and-neck with the 1.8GHz iMac G5, but remember the newer Powerbooks are ~12% faster.

Of course the G4 isn't faster in all tasks, but when you take the extra 12% into account, they're usually about the same if they're not faster. I've definitely noticed a slight speed increase over my iMac G5 in Photoshop. (which is the main app I use on my Mac)

A G5 Powerbook isn't for the speed. I am sure many of us are dying to see a major form factor change for the Powerbook, not just a 'faster' processor. Apple said themselves a G5 runs better with 2 processors.

Okay, Heres my iMac. I am selling this baby off. If you are in Australia, and want an iMac or know someone who does, PM me ;) Its a 15" model.

    • Browser vendors including Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Vivaldi have jointly written an open letter to Microsoft saying enough is enough regarding Edge being pushed on Windows users without consent. Microsoft makes it difficult to change the default browser, promotes Edge throughout Windows 11, and has made the uninstall process unnecessarily complicated compared to other apps. Does anyone have more details on what exactly the open letter demands and whether any regulatory action is being considered? Also curious whether this could lead to antitrust investigations similar to what happened with Internet Explorer back in the day. Would love to hear from anyone following this closely.
    • Amen, they are a shady company... they modify my site to remove inline ads and then cry about subscribing to their services, a few things they "bravely" did in recent years: In 2020, Brave was caught automatically appending its own affiliate referral codes to URLs when users typed the web addresses of crypto exchanges (like Binance and Coinbase) into the address bar. Following significant backlash, the CEO apologized and the feature was disabled. In 2023, the company faced criticism after users noticed a paid VPN service was installed on their computers without their explicit consent. TOR Privacy Leak: In 2021, Brave's private Tor tabs were found to be leaking DNS queries to internet service providers, a flaw that was subsequently patched. Passive Cryptocurrency Donations: In early versions of the browser, Brave automatically collected user contributions and held them in a pool to be distributed to creators. If a creator had not signed up to claim their funds within a certain time frame, the process sparked criticism about where the money went.
    • I think they still believe it but are realizing that those statements created massive backlash and impacted adoption. I personally think AI, if used regularly will give you back about 30% of your time if you are an “information” worker.
