    WinXP on an Intel Mac - official

    All in all, it's probably a good move for Apple and will no doubt attract some of the fence-sitters who were holding off on switching to a Mac because of a few Windows apps that they need to use. Personally though, I don't play PC games nor do I have a need to use any Windows specific software...

    The Contest - Windows XP on an Intel Mac, $11,908 so far...

    It seems that a similar site just got shut down by Apple's lawyers. http://www.macworld.com/news/2006/02/17/osx86/index.php The whole thing seems like a waste of time to me, but to each his own...

    OS X Users: 10.4.5 is out

    I found the Macworld article to be rather amusing: Wow, what are the chances that an anti-virus software maker would want to claim it's a virus? :doh: I'm reminded of Symantec's dubious report on the state of Mac security, which was released a few months ago in an obvious attempt to stir up...

    OS X Users: 10.4.5 is out

    I just downloaded it this morning. Size-wise it's one of the smallest updates that Apple has released in a long time, so I imagine it's just a few minor fixes.

    Japan

    Like I said, Taito-ku, near the park. Yeah, but the transportation system is great here, so I've never bothered with getting a license.

    Saitama is the poor man's Tokyo. ;) It's a big park, probably one of the largest in Tokyo.

    Taito-ku, not too far from Ueno Kouen and the zoo.

    ESL in Asia

    If you were only denied being able to view "a couple" of apartments, you definitely got lucky. I've been through the house search three times, and have been turned down up front for being a foreigner on at least 20 - 30 occasions...it happened so often, I've actually lost count. One real estate...

    ESL in Asia

    How old are your students? All of the Koreans I've ever met have no problem writing their names in Chinese characters.

    Good luck to you! Whereabouts in Tokyo?

    ESL in Asia

    Quite true, I think. It's strange though that many Japanese don't seem to reciprocate the same dislike toward Koreans. In fact, for the past couple of years Japan has been experiencing a "Korean boom" of sorts, with dozens of Korean dramas on TV, and Korean movies and musical acts doing quite...

    ESL in Asia

    Chinese characters are still used for writing names in Korean. I think this topic was covered in another thread here, but I'm too lazy to search for it.

    Browser Poll

    I have no idea about getting server stats from CF, but I would imagine that they would be the opposite of this poll, with IE at 60 or 70% and Firefox down below 30%. IE has the advantage of coming bundled with the Windows OS, and the majority of computer users don't seek out another browser...

    About to get a new iBook...

    I think that WinAmp is Windows only, hence the name. I use iTunes on the Mac, and am pretty satisfied with it. If you have an iPod, the integration is seamless, and the iTunes music store is the best on the web in my opinion. I'm not much for the idea of "renting" music like Yahoo offers. Of...

    About to get a new iBook...

    Good to hear that you're liking your new Mac. I've got the same model, iMac G5 17", 2GHz with 512 MB of RAM. It's by far the best computer I've ever had, and it's my first Mac after going through 5 or 6 Windows boxes.

    About to get a new iBook...

    Ah, so you already bought one? I think that you'll find OS X to be much more intuitive than Windows -- at least that was my experience. After using a Mac for several months now, I don't think I could ever go back to a Windows box.

    About to get a new iBook...

    The iBook is a G4 and you can add an optional Superdrive if you want one.
