Yeah, headphone jack to RCA cables are cheap and plentiful.

Don't pay the Apple tax on plug convertors. There's no electronics in them - they just change the shape of the prongs. The way the...

I too think the Albooks are a little unrefined-looking compared to the Ti's. To me, the bare metal of the later machines just looks unfinished, somehow. It reminds me too much of an unpainted car...

I use my (still-new!) iBook g4 800 for video every day, and I have to say I'm a little disappointed, actually. It plays anything fine, true, but only as long as that's the only thing it's playing....

Actually, I have a Japanese iBook too, and mine does have the little tab. Maybe there was a different production run or something?

I think you're right, the older translucent keyboards are nicer...

Make your iBook G4 keyboard better! 1,070 Views / 9 Replies  
I discovered a neat little thing about the g4's keyboard just now. Look closely at the light for "num lock," and you'll see it has a little slot. Get something like a jeweller's screwdriver and give...

My apologies if this has been posted here already, but I found this on the Ars Technica board... thanks, aeou.

Didn't I read that Halo was slower than expected on high-spec machines, but faster than expected on low-spec machines? The devs have said that the game is heavily gpu-bound and that the speed of the...

Can anyone help me choose between the internal 60g upgrade for the iBook's HDD, and an external, larger firewire drive?
