ditching everything but the computer
Jill on 2004/04/03:
„(Goodness. That sounds more bohemian than it actually is.) Today's plan, which, you never know, might even be acted upon, not only involves switching the room functions around completely, but also requires chucking my TV, DVD player and my excuse for a stereo and replacing them all with a nice 20" imac . With a bit of hacking it even appears I could probably set up a mac like a TiVo , so it'd record television broadcasts and let me record them, pause live broadcasts, all that. Even outside of the US.“

Time Shifting Your Life
ronn on 2004/03/31:
„And now (to finally get to the point of this post!), your Mac makes it easy to time shift all sorts of content, including radio, streaming audio and a surprise you won't believe!I received a DVD player this past Christmas after my VCR died after nearly a dozen years. So I doubt I'll be getting a DVR any time soon. Still, a couple of the other items mentioned are worth a look:“

Latest Mac Update, Thoughts on Mac vs. Windows
Arcterex on 2004/03/16:
„This isn't a complete list of course, just what's on the Apple webiste, and it has Apple spin on what it's doing, but it's what people see when they click on the software update to see why it's a recommended install. + network volumes are now available in the Finder sidebar and Desktop for convenient access * improved file sharing and directory services for Mac (AFP), UNIX (NFS) and PC (SMB/CIFS) networks improved PostScript and USB printing + updated Disk Utility, DVD Player, Image Capture, Mail and Safari applications + additional support for FireWire and USB devices * improved compatibility for third party applications * previous standalone security updates and Bluetooth Update 1.5 So it looks like you get a 50/50 mix of "stuff fixed" and "stuff added" based on the press release. Some other bug fixes are no doubt hidden in there, but you get some nice new features as well. Now lets look at the latest of this month's security updates from Microsoft .“

Technology happiness
Amy on 2004/02/16:
„Even better, the DVD player will play DVD-R format. So I can finally play DVDs I make on my Mac on my DVD player, and copy from there to a videotape to copy it for other people. Two features I've wanted as part of my entertainment system for a long time.“

Trying to buy a Mac
self on 2004/01/29:
„Thanks for everyone's advice in the comments . As a result, I just bought a 400mH G4 (20GB drive, DVD player, keyboard and mouse) from MacResQ , an extremely pleasant experience. I had them boost the RAM to 384; they charge $40 for 128 but gave me the 256 upgrade for the same price. Real pleasant folks to deal with, and were quite frank and helpful all the way through.“

Making Criminals
jemimap on 2003/12/29:
„The only trouble is, it may be illegal in the US. I own the Stargate DVD's and the mac and the mac's DVD player, and I'm not selling, ripping, or pirating anything, or making any money. And yet, VLC comes with a warning that using the decoding library may be a violation of the DMCA. So without doing a single thing that any reasonable person would consider wrong, immoral or fattening, I could have broken a law by downloading and running VLC, provided I did so.“

VideoLan Client
Scott Yang on 2003/10/02:
„One of the disappointment for me is that Mac OS X does not have a native VCD player. The built-in DVD player and QuickTimer player cannot play Video CDs, and the recommended one (MacVCD X ) appears to be a commercial software, i.e. costs money. Doing some Google search reveals that VideLan client is the only note-worthy alternative.“

Flummoxed by technology
edith on 2003/04/24:
„Speaking of videos, I never did get very far with the VCD-making. I can make one, and it'll play fine on the PC and the Mac, but when I try to play it on my DVD player, it's all stuttery. The video's fine but the audio's out of synch. I tried all these different settings in Nero and it always comes out the same.“
