Apple’s iPhone will likely see positive acceptance when the device ships in June, according to research firm Goldman Sachs. Goldman points to a recent handset branding survey that was conducted in China, India, the U.K. and the U.S. as evidence that Apple’s new gadget might yield positive results for the Cupertino-based company. Despite the fact that the survey took place before iPhone was debuted at Macworld in January, the number of potential iPhone buyers is equivalent to 75 percent of the installed base of current iPod owners, according to SeekingAlpha. Just under one-half of the potential buyers come from respondents who have never owned an iPod, and 71 percent of respondents in the U.S. indicated interest in a potential Apple cellular handset.

Only one percent of potential iPhone buyers say they’re willing to pay the $499 asking price Apple Inc. is reportedly going to be charging for the device, according to the results of a new survey from online market research firm Compete.

Here’s a handy tool for more advanced PC users, faced with a troublesome PC that just won’t boot. It’s called Super Grub, and if you’ve had any dealings with Linux you may recognize the name as that of a popular bootloader (GRUB stands for Grand Unified Bootloader). In case you are wondering a bootloader is a program that configures a PC prior to loading an operating system whether it be Linux or Windows (in Windows booting is controlled by a file called the Master Boot Record or MBR). Super Grub can fix booting problems with both OS’s, and is a dab hand at sorting out MBR problems. All you have to do is download the files and use them to create a bootable floppy (or CD or USB drive). It’s not the sort of thing you’ll need to use very often, hopefully not at all, but you’ll be glad you downloaded come the day your PC stubbornly refuses to boot!

Download a copy of DOSBox, the greatest MS-DOS emulator for any platform (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and more), and try running your game under DOSBox. Not only will you get support for old-school graphics like CGA and EGA, you can even run it in a window!

Apple Computer is warning customers who use the Windows version of its iTunes software to hold off upgrading to Windows Vista until it can release a patch to fix a number of serious compatibility issues, one of which could result in a corrupt iPod player.
Apple, in a statement posted Thursday on its Web support forum, says upgrading from Windows 2000 or Windows XP to Vista may result in the inability to play songs purchased and downloaded to the desktop iTunes player from its online iTunes store.
Worse, however, is the problem that iPod users could encounter if they try to eject their digital music player from a desktop port using the “Safely Remove Hardware” feature found on the Vista system tray. That, Apple warns ominously, “may corrupt your iPod.”
