i had to edit the new version, but i am very very happy with this theme. it's my favorite.

jawsh: how are you liking OS X?

i've always enjoyed Mac OS, and OS X is no different. i did that 10.2.8 update and my Mac's still chuggin right along, so i guess i was one of the fortunate ones not affected by it. i still remember having to boot off a 5 1/4" floppy back in the II GS days, up through my door-stop of a PowerBook 140 running System 7...Apple's come a long, long way! :)

OT....How is the quality on MyTV2Go? I've been looking for a tv solution on the Macintosh, but haven't been satisfied by the quality out there.

Since this is my first TV on a puter application I'd say its flawless. The image is crisp but degreades at higher resolutions although I haven't played with the settings at all. Records as well. Should I be able to get it at full screen?

When I had a TV card, the best that I could get at a 'crisp' picture was 800x600 px. I am pretty sure that is about the highest it goes because you are taking an analog signal and watching it on a digital machine. Even if you have digital cable or satelite, the signal will still probably be bad because they compress it so that things are faster on your end. I believe the only way to get full screen TV with a computer that is purely crisp is if the signal itself is that good and maybe if there is some kind of HDTV coming through or something. I know I see a lot of shows lately that advertise they are being broadcase in HDTV, so you might try one of those.

Good info guys. I've never owned a tv tuner for the Macintosh, just for pc....and it was about 5 years ago.

They make hdtv tuners for Macs?!?

Some of the 42" and 60" plasma tvs i've been looking at have DVI input and support full HDTV resolution for use as a computer display (~1900x1000). DVI is a digital signal and the plasma tvs are digital display units so it should look really good.

SVideo, and composite video out both look dreadful for a number of reasons: the biggest contributor being the rather crumby resolution of most TVs with those inputs. My 50" projection tv only has ~800 lines of resolution and that's considered good!

Buying a new TV just so video out looks good might not be an option now, but when you go to buy a new monitor or new television then looking at some of the LCD and plasma telivisions might pay off.

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
