Clearing up music tags
Can anyone recommend a decent app for cleaning up music tags? I'm mainly interested in album art and the year of release, and I'm talking about supplementing tags that are alredy there and known to be correct. I've heard good things about Pollux but discovered it seems very much geared towards people with collect... 12 Apr 2010 04:51

Guy Kewney has died
He died today, from cancer of the bowel and liver. He was one of the few people who knew that microcomputers were going to make a difference to people's everyday lives.

Email problems on an old 10.2 iBook
My mother's email is not working, which is worse than my email not working since I can fix mine!

Padding an image in Aperture
I have some square images in Aperture. If I try to print them at Snapfish, they will be cropped to 3x2, which I don't want. So, I need to add enough white border to make them 3x2 to avoid this. Is there an Aperture plugin that will do this for me? Daniele ... 7 Apr 2010 12:23

Upgrading Mac mini CPU
Anyone had any experience upgrading a Mac mini CPU? I'm after boosting my Core Solo 1.5GHz to a Core Duo with a bit more oomph. I've looked at the guides and the early minis have a ZIF, and besides the usual pig to get anywhere in a mini (I've already upgraded the RAM) it doesn't seem to arduous. And the brief lo... 14 Apr 2010 18:57
