Macsimum Opinion
Gaming computer market bigger than previously thought
By Dennis Sellers 
Nov 19 at 6:00am
There’s speculation that the next rev of iMacs will use the new Intel Core i7 processors. I have no idea if that will be the case or not (though I’d love to see at least a high-end model with such a processor), but it might make sense as the gaming computer market is big and getting bigger.

Adobe, ARM accelerate Flash, AIR for ARM platforms

This is just a stupid rebranding exercise. Because Apple smeared Flash Lite and that Flash couldn’t run well on low-power CPU’s such as the ARM used in the iPhone, Adobe is just rebranding Flash Lite to be just ‘Flash’.

I just purchased an iPod for a friend who’s never had one and wants to try it out. I got a steal on an iPod Nano with video for under $80...from Apple no less!

Review: Bento packs a lot of database bang for the buck

I like Bento, but you failed to mentioned some big flaws, There are no reports funtions, it has limited printing options and you can’t password protect a database. So, no using it for passwords. As long a that is okay and you don’t need to print any thing your fine with it as a nice easy database.

AOL Hometown/FTP is closing Oct. 31
Said:
To All:
I posted my first comment without reading all yours above ... I was so excited to finally find something on this situation.
I didn’t know the site was going down until someone else told me. I then checked my email and saw ONLY ONE EMAIL FROM AOL dated Sept 30th (but I didn’t see it till Oct 26th as I was traveling and without my laptop). AOL should have given us at least a 4 months notice with monthly reminders ... NOT 30 DAYS.
I can’t find anyone at AOL to help us. Also, that PeoplesConnection blog they gave us is impossible to post to after the fact. At the very least, AOL should redirect people to our new site - why isn’t AOL following up with us to make sure we’re o.k.??
Not that it’s Google’s fault, but I want GoogleSearch to stop putting up the old site in the seach and start using the new one. It’s 2008 - there has to be a way for this to happen, but I can’t figure out how to contact someone at Google. They have written instructions how to add something to your web page, but we can’t access our AOL web pages to make this happen.
Homestead was recommended to me. I found it very easy to use for approx $10.00 a month for what we need. Believe me when I say I don’t know ANYTHING about building a web page, I don’t. They have excellent learning tools / videos and telephone help. Good luck to all and I want to say God Bless You, Virginia ...

Dennis Sellers Said:
Mark, you’re right. A coding error did bounce the intended hot link back to Macsimum News. However, you raise a good point. While I do think that we should at least mention the release of all new Mac compatible printers, should we quit doing a separate short story on every new software update and return to what we did at one point in time: simply do a daily software roundup? Respond here or drop me a line at —however, we do it, Macsimum News is devoted to covering all companies that make Apple products, not just the big ones..—Dennis
