TBS is now streaming full episodes of the classic TV show Seinfeld on the network’s web page, but the site’s player is not compatible with Mac OS.

After Apple was accused of forcing its software on Windows users, it has made some minor changes to the way its software update tool operates under that operating system. 

We’ve all seen them; poignant little jabs from “Mac” to “PC” about how the latter will always be inferior in a 30-second television spot.  However, some critics are tired of the humor and want to see Apple really demonstrate the product that “Mac” keeps pointing out is so superior to Vista.

In a world where the public taste is turning towards all things Apple, PC manufacturers have been largely left out in the cold; to regain a foothold, they are attempting all sorts of crazy things to breathe life back into a asphyxiated industry.  News flash: bright, bold and shiny cases still won’t make Windows-based PCs Apple Macs.

Though I wince every time I consider how dependent the free world is on Microsoft products, I must admit that Microsoft Office is most times a necessity for Mac users; with that in mind, it either gives me great pleasure or makes me slightly nauseous to announce that the newest iteration of Microsoft Office, 2008, for Mac will be coming out of its closet at MacWorld.

So, you got a few Apple gift cards or some extra spending cash, and you’re about to burst with excitement over your upcoming Apple purchase, right?  But wait, MacWorld is just around the corner; could what you’re wanting to purchase become even shinier, prettier, nicer between now and January 15th?  The answer to your question is forthcoming.

For the longest time now, those who have chosen to take the “unpaid” route for Apple software have been able to do so without repercussion; however, Apple submitted a patent earlier this month that might be looking to crack down on all those hapless pirates.

For many university students, adapting to Mr. Microsoft’s exchange server for sending and receiving mail has become a way of life.  What would be fantastic is if Mail app for OS X “just worked” with those confounded exchange servers; sadly, it isn’t quite that easy.For some reason, Microsoft-based exchange programs tend to allow OS X Mail to receive incoming mail, but not send outgoing; me, being the resourceful college student that I am, decided to consult my Frostburg State University computer help desk, as I was unable to come up with a solution.Let me tell you, do not think that all universities are fully staffed with Mac-savvy attendants, yet.  To be quite honest, the lady went through the same steps I did, and said she didn’t know; she recommended I just check my email via the web client.Unacceptable, frankly.  I shouldn’t have to check the web client; for most mail providers, OS X Mail “just works.”Most M$ supporters would say there is undoubtedly a problem with Mail app; the real answer is that, most obviously, we are still living in a Microsoft world.Here’s my duck taped-solution, and if anyone has any better ideas, please leave constructive comments:  I receive mail from the exchange server like normal in Mail app from my university, but also have my Gmail account linked to Mail, so I use Gmail for outgoing mail.It isn’t perfect, but it works.I’d love a sure-fire solution, but I haven’t been able to find one.  Update: my fellow writer Leslie Poston led me to a site that provides a fairly comprehensive fix, though I haven’t been able to wade through it yet.  Here’s the link; apparently part of the problem is an inconsistency with Office 2007 protocol.  Enjoy, and thanks Leslie!

Most Mac owners are quite content with the security that accompanies each copy of OS X.  Symantec, provider of various protective software services, claims that OS X is just as vulnerable to attacks, and the same kind of attacks, as Windows.

Apple used to tout the prowess of the PowerPC processor as compared to Intel processors but once the Core Duo line came out, that was the end of PowerPC inside Macs as Intel processors were proven once and for all to be faster, a lot faster.  This has lead to many users running Windows through BootCamp or through Parallels but some hidden code suggests OSX might be capable of running Windows apps without Windows.
