I use whichever I deem appropriate for the task at hand. If I can use JavaScript, I will. But there's a lot of things it can't do, at least without thousands of hours of work. They each have their strengths and weaknesses. And Google can crawl Flash...

I've been a developer since about 1997. I've run my own web design and development business since 2002. Plus I've been involved a lot with gaming, and am currently building a good sized gaming related site. I'm interested in helping out. Not for free, and as others have pointed out more info...

I have power DVD. It's junk.

I like Lian Li cases. The machine I'm on now is in one. But for HTPC, I don't like their offerings. The V354 doesn't strike me as a good HTPC case at all. It's a funky shape. The bling fans? I can just see the lights turned down low, the TV on by I'm being blinded by those things. My HTPC case...

Having been a web developer for over a dozen years, to me it sounds like this guy is going about it all wrong. I put all of my dev environments in VMs. Then if I travel, I can move the VM to my laptop, or put it on my workstation at the office. I use BBEdit in OS X, which I think is great. I've...

What kind of development are we talking about? For any web or iOS related stuff, the Mac Mini would be plenty fast. The Mac Pro would be overkill in so many ways, especially going with dual quad cores. Sure the Mac Pro is a fair deal for what you get, but it doesn't sound like you'd make use of...

WordPress would offer you way more features than building your own. But building your own will give you full control over the design. There's lots of good templates out there for WordPress. You can get free hosting at http://WordPress.com or at http://allsmbsites.com/ - they both have paid...

The biggest issue isn't going to be connecting it. The biggest issue will be reading it. The drive is formatted as HFS+, and Windows by default can't read that. There are several options for this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HFS_Plus#Windows But really, your best bet after getting the proper...

GIF is technically supposed to be pronounced with a soft G. (That's how the creators pronounce it.) So all you saying it "GIF" like "gift' are wrong. That includes me though. I've always said it with a hard G and when I learned it supposed to be pronounced "jiff" I tried to change but am...

rive22 nailed it pretty well. But to specifically answer this question, it may or may not make a difference. There are different interpolation algorithms and they impact different images differently. It is possible the software you use to transcode the video will do a better job than your TV or...

Which method did you use for Google webmaster verification?

Overall I agree with you, I just want to nitpick a bit on this: their product cycle isn't really 1yr. It varies. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. Also once a product has been out for a while, there's generally rebates, value adds (eg free iPod, free Apple Care)... that are available or can...

dropadrop, I was mistaken. I read it as "quad core" and then saw the "2x2.66GHz" and thought it was a dual quad, not a dual dual. So it has a total of four cores, I was thinking it had eight. So an i7 would be better for sure.

Panels age. Most shops concerned about color swap their monitors once a year. I've got a 2405 sitting next to 2408 and it's pretty clear the 2405 has yellowed some. I was suspecting that before I got the 2405, but that confirmed it. Yes, they're both calibrated.

That's not completely the case. If you spec out a PC with the same components you'll quickly find there is little to no premium on Macs. Take a current gen 27" iMac for example. Spec out all the parts, including a 27" IPS screen, and the price is pretty darn close. Mac Pros are similar. I...

QFE. "Mac OS" is the name, "X" is the version, be it 7, 8, 9 or X... Anyone familiar with Macs would know "Mac OS" doesn't somehow refer to classic only.

Must you use VPC on the PC? You could try virtual box.

As others have noted, mfgs have pretty much gone to pain 1080p. I'm not a fan of the LED screens either. From what I've read, they show a smaller gamut.

It really depends on what you do. Anything other than video or 3D rendering, you're probably not going to see a benefit to the Mac Pro. Obviously it has some expansion options. But beyond that, the iMac will be nice. If you actually price out the components, it would cost about the same to get...

OWC is a great company. I think they own Newertech now. I've got a Newertech battery in my MBP and it works great. Certainly not sleep issues. The OEM battery I had failed all too quickly so I wasn't willing to buy an OEM one again.

I'm going to clarify/debunk a few things: FLV is not the container. FLV is the video. A SWF is a container for a FLV. Flash can play multiple types of video. YouTube simply using H.264 for the video, then puts either a SWF or HTML5 wrapper on it. FLV's are not typically H.264. H.264 files...

The one many use is wp-ecommerce http://www.instinct.co.nz/e-commerce/ but there's also http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/eshop/ The support for the former has gone down hill over the years. Recently it was picked up by someone else. For eShop, they aren't all that reliable. I think...

Learn CSS. CS2 is already fairly well adopted, CSS3 is coming along. Not a lot of support for HTML5 yet. You may have to rethink how you do layout a bit with CSS. Some things we used to use tables for are actually pretty hard in CSS.

Does anyone know if havoc dropped the Mac licensing fee? I can't see how this would be cost effective unless they did.
