I only report blogspam when there's actually advertisements on the site or if it's copied from another source. If neither of the two are the case, whats the problem? They have something they want to share. People digg it if it's good. Maybe it makes front page. End of story
So am I the only one who installed podzilla but now my ipod is unable to enter disk mode and connect to my PC? I can select "enter disk mode" when I plug it in, however it doesn't do anything. Also I can't boot the ipod into the regular mac firmware anymore. On top of that I can't even turn off the ipod. If I click shutdown from the podzilla menu, it reboots it everytime.Yeah I think i'll stick with the regular ipod firmware, if I can ever get my ipod to be recognized again to uninstall podzilla that is.
i've got it going, looks intersting, and it's handy having the apple os boot as well, tho i can't get my music displayed on linux pod mode.. tho i'm sure it's something i've don wrong on my end.
im having trouble getting rockbox on my ipod photo...when i try to install the latest thing with WinRar i cant find the installer and all i get is a bunch of text documents and such..can someone explain y i cant install rockbox?
@BitruderYour analogy doesn't hold water. If a TV's hardware is capable of displaying 1080i resolution, but the manufacturer decided they didn't want to include that in the TV's software, then *YES* I absolutely would consider it crippleware because it's stifling the hardware's full potential for no good reason. This is EXACTLY what Apple does with it's firmware. Hell, the Nano is capable of video, but they didn't build that functionality into the Nano because they wanted to release another one to make more money off of to play video. Thanks Apple!
Did not work for me as flawlessly, nice idea. It should have a countdown timer or something to default to. (unless it already does and I have not looked)
