  All Mac models shipping with Tiger
    Along with new iMac and eMac introductions on Tuesday, Apple also announced that its entire line of consumer-oriented CPU-based products is now shipping with Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger.
  Tiger not playing nice with Windows
    Several reports of issues with SMB and ActiveDirectory networking
    Supposed to offer improvements, but looks like that is not coming true.
  Apple released Bonjour for Windows
    Includes a plugin to discover advertised HTTP servers using Internet Explorer
    The Bonjour Printer Wizard, allows Windows computers to print to Bonjour networked printers, including USB shared printers connected to the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express Base Stations.

  iPod Shuffle has 58% of flash based market

  Pod2Go Developer releases SpodLight
    Spodlight from Kainjow lets you index your iPod so it is searchable in Spotlight
    Normal Spotlight ignores invisible files.
  iTunes Australia launch held up by record company
    Supposed to launch last Thursday with 4 other European stores.
    One unnamed major record company refused to sign the agreement in time.
  Album released 4 weeks early on iTunes
    The new Oasis album showed up 4 weeks early on the German iTunes Music store and is already available on some P2P networks
    Could cost the record label a ton. Thought that someone misentered the release date as 03/05/05 instead of 30/05/05. This data is entered by the record labels so it is unlike Apple will be held responsible.
Special Report: Using Tiger

    iChatAV
      Not enough bandwidth when there is. I more then meet the 100Kbps up/down bandwidth limit for a 1 to 1 video chat.
      This should require 1/4 the old bandwidth.

  Chris - Burning Mac DVDs on a PC
    Play comment
    You will have to convert the disk image file created by iDVD to the .iso image format (making it compatible with almost any PC disk burning application, such as Nero or Roxio). To do this, follow these steps:
      Open Disk Utility (located in Applications>Utilities folder).
      Drag your disk image into the left-hand pane (where all your drives are listed) of Disk Utility.
      Click on the file you just dragged into Disk Utility (should appear in the left-hand column).

      Click on the 'Images' menu, then choose 'Convert...'
      When the 'Convert Image' dialog pops up, select 'DVD/CD Master' from the 'Image Format' pop-up menu.

      Name your file, with '.cdr' at the end of the filename, then click 'Save.'
      Disk Utility will convert the file to an ISO image. After this finishes, replace the 'cdr' at the end of the filename (in the Finder) to 'iso'.

      Now, the disk should be burnable on a Windows PC (simply copy the file to your PC by either copying it across a network or using some other means of transferring the data).
    Note: This works burn any Mac .dmg or .img files on a PC.

  Clint - Spotlight and indexing Entourage
    Play audio

    Scott Erickson of Microsoft in a MacWold interview (1/11/2005):

    "Spotlight will index and search Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents, but
    unfortunately it will not work with Microsoft's email and information
    manager, Entourage.

    "It won't index Entourage and that's simply due to the way that Spotlight
    was made versus Entourage," said [Scott] Erickson [of Microsoft]. "Entourage
    saves everything in a database format and we are working with Apple to see
    how Spotlight can index the database."
