SimpliITy - At Ease is back!
It's a shame Apple never ported 'At Ease' to OS X, but the SimplicITy interface does bring back memories. (link to Daily Mail article) http://bit.ly/28bSow ... 15 Nov 2009 10:04

Macspotting- series of 100,000,000
Last night on BBC3, in the relentlessly (and deliberately) superficial 'The noughties- was that it?' Pt 2. Towards the end of the programme, at around 1h50m in, in the most important events of the decade, they do 'Mac v. PC'. As I said, relentlessly superficial, therefore great fun. It's on the iPlayer. I a... 19 Nov 2009 07:14

What can Apple learn from Windows 7?
I know a few of you have had a reasonable play with Windows 7, and I'm curious... What stuff has Microsoft done with it that Apple could really learn from for the next version of OSX? At first I thought I liked the feature where hovering over an app in the taskbar gave you previews of all the app's open windows, ... 23 Nov 2009 14:07

The Mac Sale
<http://themacsale.com/> Hadn't noticed this particular Yet Another Bundle. Once again, nothing really stands out, but then I never know in advance what software will turn out to be a real boon. I use Pixelmator in preference to Photoshop,for example (never expected that!) but I've never used Intaglio. An... 14 Nov 2009 11:08

WoW on 21" iMac
I've been using a Dell laptop for Warcraft, and it works fine at max settings (except for shadow, which I turn right down), giving me a fps of about 31 in Outland ( a lot faster, obviously, on levels up to 60 in Azeroth). I used to use an old iMac (the first LCD one, the 'iLamp') but it's now far far too slow, ... 15 Nov 2009 16:44

Small Caps in Pixelmator
Pages can do Small Caps - Format > Font > Capitalization. It's not through the Fonts pane, so I presume that it's an application-specific trick. Any idea whether it's possible in Pixelmator? Daniele ... 9 Nov 2009 08:52

Syncing address book / Outlook
Hi, Is there a nice little app anywhere that will allow my Macbook address book, and my Outlook client at work sync up automatically? Free preferably. -- Gavin.  ACSP 10.5 http://www.stoof.co.uk http://www.twitter.com/gavin_wilby ... 8 Nov 2009 17:26

Streaming to TV?
What are people using to display computer content on TV? Last night I saw a PCWorld ad where some bloke said they showed him how to stream stuff from his PC - wirelessly. That obviously requires the use of some wifi enabled box next to the TV - any suggestions that people are using? Alternatively, what about a... 9 Nov 2009 11:05

Wireless mouse query
Can anyone let me know if I can use an Apple Wireless Mouse (not the Magic one) on a Windows XP system - mine seems to pair ok, but still does not move the XP cursor. Or are Apple mice confined to Apple equipment only ? DM ... 10 Nov 2009 06:59
