Damn Safari is so swift at rendering websites, it beats the shit out of IE even.

I got the Macbook Pro and love it! First mac so its still new to me. Any work around for getting safari to play embedded windows files?

KRL · 05-22-2006, 08:33 PM

I got it in the store in Columbus. It seemed like there weren't may though, the lady picked the last one from the stock room.

What an incredible machine. I still have a hard time believing how cool it is. The $2800 were well spent.

Spunky · 05-22-2006, 08:43 PM

They are nice..good for you

dissipate · 05-22-2006, 08:57 PM

I'm using a 12 iBook right now - its small as hell compared to my 21" dual monitors.... but it travels quite well

I got a plugin for my mac but can't remember where I got it. If you do a search on Yahoo for windows media plugin for quicktime there is one result that pops up called Flip4Mac and I think that's what I got. I can play .wma and .wmv file right in Safari. Hope that helps...

I love everything about my Mac and yes Safari kicks some serious ass. I like how when you hook something up to a Mac it just works. No searching and installing drivers like on a PC. Like they say, once you go Mac, you never go back. Okay, no one really says that but what the hell, maybe they will now.

You can use any USB mouse. If that's your only worry, it's a silly one.

practiceTITOISM · 05-23-2006, 12:38 AM

I've never been a big fan of macs, but damn those things are sexy! I'd buy one just to use it for web design

I had one, used it. Found it nice enough. Unix framework made it ok for java programming etc, but .. dunno.

I think (even more now w/ intel under the hood) using macs nowaays is a preference only: In the pat you were definitely one or the other, now you just choose which OS / hardware you prefer.

Until I can boot XP natively without OS/X on the system at all, I'll stick to windows machines

replacement driver for trackpad: http://www.ragingmenace.com/software...ack/index.html

allows for all sorts of ninja moves, enables 'two buttons' etc etc etc

Thats called BootCamp and it works like a charm:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/

Though the best alternative is to run XP (natively) in a MacOSX window just when you need it through virtualization:

Yep I was just about to post that.. BootCamp works like a charm to run both MacOSX and WinXP

sinclair · 05-23-2006, 06:16 PM

You running photoshop from rosetta? I am curious what the speed is like with non-native apps. My whole workflow is Photoshop and Final Cut, cant make the jump to the intel machine if there is a speed issue.

From what I read, there is an Intel native Photoshop compilation out already. No need for Rosetta anymore. Other than that, the apps that do run their PPC code on the emulator, don't seem to be slow at all.

r-c-e · 05-23-2006, 09:10 PM

No issues with the temperature?

05-23-2006, 09:39 PM

Overheating? Not really. Then again I haven't had it for long enough to give you a precise analysis... I'll have to work with it longer to see how it behaves under full load.
