RE: Analyst: Paying a Dividend Makes Sense for Apple
@Garion -- I agree with you 100%. Mr. Wu is right that Apple has plenty of cash and could easily afford to pay a dividend. But... should they? No one *bought* Apple with the expectation of a dividend. Why the pressure now, especially when anyone who bought, well... EVER... has already increased their potential value (I say potential for the…

RE: Paul McCartney to Stream Live Performance on iTunes, Apple TV
I was really impressed with the streaming quality of this, both video and audio. I streamed via WiFi to my MacBook Air, then via HDMI to my plasma screen and home theater sound. The video was crisp and never had any artifacts, and the sound was amazingly clear. Really impressive. I hope that iTunes does more of these.

RE: FBI Releases Steve Jobs Dossier: Driven & Deceptive
[quote author="geoduck" date="1328827713"]In the Bush Cabinet? No f*****g way in h*** he’d have taken that.[/quote] At the great risk of turning this into a political discussion (please, let's not), I wanted to point out that these documents show that Jobs himself signed and agreed-to this background check explicitly for this purpose.…

RE: Apple Enables Lion Internet Recovery in Mid 2010 iMacs
Actually, I misspoke. Internet Recovery and the Recovery Partition are two different things. The Recovery Partition does what I described above and IS available on ALL Intel Macs running Lion. The thing is, Lion needs to have been installed on the hard drive once in order for the recovery partition to be built. If your entire hard drive is…

RE: Apple Enables Lion Internet Recovery in Mid 2010 iMacs
[quote author="iJack" date="1328693599"]If the OS is crapped up to the point where you need to recover, doesn’t usually mean that you also don’t have access to the Internet?[/quote] Ahh, but that's just it: the recovery partition is its own, self-contained OS, that doesn't inherit or share any settings with the main (presumably mucked-up)…

RE: SleepTracker Adds Analytics Support for the Mac
We haven't, but I believe Jeff Gamet has one en route for review, and he'll be posting about it on TMO here once he's finished his test.

RE: How To Setup Gmail, IMAP, and Mail.app?
Reader Jonathan commented via email, but his advice was so good I wanted to post it here, too. As Jonathan says: There is the warning: [quote]Important: do not delete Spam from your Mac or mobile device. Doing so will move it to the Trash folder and you risk inadvertently teaching Gmail that these messages are Spam. Instead, to remove Spam…

RE: Macworld|iWorld Drum Circle Brings the Tribe Together
[quote author="Susan Gehr" date="1328306846"]I do not wish to play tribe, in any sense of the word, with the Mac community of which I am otherwise happy to be part.[/quote] Susan, I really respect you, and respect all that you have done, and it's out of that respect that I initially refrained from commenting and now have decided to comment.…

RE: Mac OS X: Time-Saving Terminal Tips
[quote author="Josh" date="1328311827"]Interesting article.  I knew about most of these, except the “Paste Escaped Text”.[/quote] I agree. I've been a long-time command-line jockey and had never heard of the "Paste Escaped Text" until today. Melissa, you rock. ;) [quote author="Josh" date="1328311827"]It’s too bad though.  Your…

RE: Macworld|iWorld Drum Circle Brings the Tribe Together
Indeed, JQ, it's not for everyone. That's the beauty of it!
