Maju replied on August 30, 2009 17:40 to the discussion "Why is Microsoft truely better than Apple?" in Microsoft Corporation:

It has loads of viruses?
Or is it the fact that they copy Apples OS?
maybe its that they refuse to admit that they screwed up Vista?
I can only hope that the next version of windows (After 7) goes its own way instead of being a rubbish looking mac look-alike.

Maju replied on August 30, 2009 17:31 to the idea "Mac OS wishlist" in Apple:

My wishlist has: Growl as standard (Along with Hardware Growler and GrowlMail.)
And the ability to view folders in list view when using Quicklook. The plugins for quicklook refuse to work in Snow Leopard!

Maju replied on August 30, 2009 17:29 to the question "Tiger > Snow Leopard?" in Apple:

I heard that the £25 Snow Leopard is a full install, therefor it could be done on tiger, or a fresh HDD.

Maju reported a problem in Apple on August 30, 2009 17:26:

Macbook refuses to boot to 64-bit in 10.6

Macbook (Polycarbonate, Early 2008 White model) refuses to boot into 64 bit mode in Snow Leopard, despite being completely able to.

Maju replied on August 27, 2009 01:40 to the question "MacBook battery overheating?" in Apple:

download the widget IStatPro, it'll tell you the Temperature of stuff like the CPU and HDD, and the speed of the fans.
Ideally the CPY should be under 60, and the airport card under 80, if it isn't and the fans are at 2000 rpm, that there could be a problem with the fans.

The fans could also be clogged up.

Maju replied on August 27, 2009 01:37 to the question "Why can't .avi movies play on Quick Time" in Apple:

Because of the Codecs involved. However, if you have a Mac, try http://perian.org/
Perian, the swiss army knife for quicktime, which adds more file support, though not WMV I think.

Maju replied on August 27, 2009 01:32 to the problem "I’m MAD AT APPLE" in Apple:

I think the question should be, what issues?
I haven't had anything major. Apart from a poor design on the polycarbonite Macbook, but it was fixed for free.

Maju gave praise in Apple on August 27, 2009 01:29:

Well done!

Well done Apple on the Easy to use brilliant computing. And not messing up the 64 and 32-bit of snow Leopard.

Maju replied on August 27, 2009 01:24 to the problem "Flock Freezes up constantly!" in Flock:

I have the same problem, had to revert to safari.
I have istatpro widget, and under Processes, whenever Flock froze and goes very slow, it was 99%+, and it used a load of CPU, therefor the fans went 5000rpm. It has gotten to be unusable. I believe that it can't be Delicious account syncing as I have never used delicious. and It can't be spyware, I can't get any!
