is missing and it's a much smaller show, but Macworld veterans are
pumped. The expo's more intimate, Beantown's cozy and, besides, NYC
smells bad. By Leander Kahney.

07/30/2004 12:19 PMHow far does $6,000 go these days? To find out we asked Macworld
contributing editors Adam C. Engst and Christopher Breen to assemble
the perfect Mac-based home office -- but to bring it in under a $6,000
budget. To keep our shoppers on their toes, we added another twist --
we told Adam to shop as if he were a bargain-hunting do-it-yourselfer,
while we asked Christopher to make his selections as if he were a
hassle-loathing Mac user who wanted to buy everything, install it
once, and never have to tinker with it again.
Macworld's 2003 Game Hall of Fame
Macworld's 2003 Game Hall of Fame
12/24/2003 03:47 PMnce again, it's time to roll out the red carpet at the Macworld Game
Hall of Fame and honor the year's best pulse-quickening, mind-tingling
games. For those of you who haven't made the pilgrimage to these
hallowed halls, the Game Hall of Fame is located in historic
Pittsfield, Massachusetts, a few hours away from my homestead on Cape
Cod. Thank goodness the management lets me telecommute most days (the
three-hour drive up the Mass Pike is a killer). As I walk through the
halls, polishing fingerprints off of the brass statues of past
inductees and making room for the newest crop of winners, I can't help
but look back on the past year with fondness. Sure, there were a few
titles that made me want to give up my joystick forever -- I won't
name any names. But after all was said and done, 2003 shaped up to be
another solid year for games on the Mac. From old-school arcade games
to futuristic shooters, zoo management to covert military operations,
there was truly something for everyone.

surprised by Mr. Gates. Yet I never am. Here's
BoingBoing reporting the
red-baiting of Mr. Gates.
It's one thing to read this sort of thing from a studio exec, or head
of a record label -- surrounded as they are by the sort that surround
them. But the people I've met at Microsoft are miles beyond this sort
of silliness. Does Mr. Gates not even talk to them?

04/10/2005 08:51 PMSo there's a view about the file-sharing debate held by most people
who don't know anything about the debate. It is a view the recording
industry likes most people to hold. It is a view far from anything
anyone interesting is saying.
The view - call it the uninformed stereotype (US) view - goes
something like this: that there are just two sides to this debate,
those who favor "piracy" and those who don't. Supporters of Grokster
are people who favor piracy, and who are against artists.
On Thursday, at the
NYPL, I
had the extraordinarily pleasure of being on stage with Jeff Tweedy
and Steven Johnson, for a discussion titled "Who Owns Culture?" The
evening started with 15 minutes of me and my "powerpoint" (actually,
Keynote), and then a 50 minute discussion with Tweedy and me,
moderated by Johnson. There was then time for questions from the
audience.
It was an extraordinary evening. I had the chance before to talk to
Tweedy, so I wasn't surprised. But he was extraordinary — funny,
subtle, smart about the issues, and deeply passionate. Suffice it that
neither he nor I (as is obvious to anyone on this page) subscribe to,
or fit, within the US view. I explicitly denounced "piracy"; Tweedy --
in context -- said nothing to support the view that people should
infringe the rights of other artists.
David Carr of the New York Times was at the event. He wrote a
review.
Everyone I've spoken to loved the piece. I think they loved it because
it was a piece printed in the Times, and we're a culture that loves
attention more than accuracy.
The review is filled with quotes from Tweedy, taken out of context, to
support the US view. Nothing in the article suggests anything was said
at all contrary to the US view. One reading the piece would think,
there they go again, those supporters of theft, and haters of artists.
I'm not sure why there needs to be a NYTimes, if its role is simply to
reinforce what people already think, especially with pieces like this.
God forbid the Nation's paper of record should reflect something more
subtle or complex than the crudest view of an important debate.

08/04/2004 09:40 AMI rarely eat at McDonalds, but while on vacation last week our kids
talked us into it as we drove across western Nebraska. My wife ordered
a Big Mac, and unbeknownst to me, they had a Sony Connect promo
going on where you get a free music download with every Big Mac.
Cool!
Then I tried downloading it.
We're sorry.
We know you are interested in using the Connect music store.
Unfortunately SonicStage only works on Windows 98SE and above.
We have no immediate plans to support other operating systems at
this time. However, we believe this is an important user base and we
hope to support it in the future.
Thank you for your interest.
(Funny; I always thought that even Mac OS 9 was a few steps
"above" Windows 98.)
So the short of it is that the whole Connect system is dependent on
software that needs to be downloaded first. While this really isn't
that unusual — even Apple's IMS works only with
iTunes — Sony's free SonicStage digital music software is Click here to comment on this entry

A mini-guide to Mac OS X for new Mini
owners
A mini-guide to Mac OS X for new Mini
owners
02/01/2005 08:53 PMApple finally went and released an inexpensive computer. With the
advent of the Mac mini, some Windows and Linux users who have been
curious about Mac OS X but turned off by Apple's high prices have
finally bit the bullet and ordered a mini.
Trying an unfamiliar operating system can be irritating at times.
Things are not where you expect them to be, the GUI is different, and
connecting to servers and other PCs can be frustrating. Hence the
mini-guide.
This is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to all
things OS X. Its purpose is to help those new to the operating system
do simple things, like use a Windows printer, connect to a network
share, and figure out what the key with the funny-looking squiggle on
it next to the spacebar does (or even use your PC keyboard with a
Mac). So if you're an "adder" and are feeling a bit out of sorts,
check out our guide.

As eagle-eyed
reader Thomas Shebest pointed out to me, it looks as if Apple has
removed the Mini (car) from its BMWYourIpod page. Either the Mini
isn't supported any longer, or, more likely, someone within BMW's
marketing department didn't want to dillute the Beemer brand with
their low-end cousin. Whichever -- it's still been removed from the
site.

information on their web site today -- the same information we broke a
few days ago. Something we hadn't heard, though, is that in addition
to all the BMWs, the system will be supported by the Mini. So yes, you
could conceivably have a Mini in your Mini.

get a couple hundred megabits out of the firewire with some sort of
