Wow! "Does not make more than a few pennies." I do not think either of you appreciate the power of small numbers, when multiplied by millions of transactions and time. Soap companies have understood this for several hundred years, clearly Apple understands it as well. The individual unit profit on iPods is clearly higher, but each iPod sold acts as a multiplier of where the real money is made. What a dream to earn just one half of one cent of every iTunes purchase. If globally they sell a million songs a day, I'd receive $5k a day or $1,825,000 a year.
I said "Apple makes pennies" and I meant it figuratively:
Firstly, I don't think they even make a whole cent per song (source on that anyone?) and secondly, think of the cost of running the store! Millions of songs and millions of downloads means page construction (albeit probably database construction) and tons of bandwidth. That stuff ain't cheap. I meant that Apple makes pennies on the music store as a whole. I know they probably do turn a measurable profit, but a profit that is utterly DWARFED by iPod sales.
I don't recall the most recent statistics, but let's say Apple makes $25 profit per iPod sold (HUGE underestimate). Say, also that Apple makes $0.05 profit per iTunes song sold (huge OVERestimate). To match those two profits, every iTunes user must download 500 songs. Trust me, that is not how things go. I've downloaded maybe 8... and those were from Pepsi bottles.

I pulled it from an old Tivo box.
Well then it's not exactly a Windows HD is it, more like a Linux HD...;)
It wouldn't hurt to wipe the partition table from Windows even if you don't use MacDrive. TiVos have lots of little partitions on the drive, some ext2, some MFS.

Other than a normal shutdown time of about 3 minutes it's been turning off well. I'll just relax and revive this thread if the problem arises more frequently.
If shutdowns normally take a long time, open Activity Monitor to see if you have an app that's hanging. It shouldn't take 3 minutes to shut down under normal circumstances. Also, try closing all apps before shutting down, to see how long it takes.

Oh really? Care to enlighten me then grand wizard. You show me sources that broadcast in the deep color realm (30,36,48-bit color depths), and THEN you show me the displays that support that color depth. Why do you think there is such a big argument amongst displays/component manufacturers on the merits of HDMI 1.3. If Anthem, the maker of my $6500 Statement D2 video processor, didn't feel it was necessary to add 1.3 support, then I think that's a pretty good indication of the progress of deep color support. HDMI is the same exact thing in terms of video transport as DVI - smaller connector, with a different pin mapping.

8-bit(24bit) is plenty, for a long time.
...and besides, this discussion was about DisplayPort and it's usefulness, when we already have HDMI. Maybe you don't know so much about topic discussion.
I thought that this thread is about ACDs and I believe that they are primarily used other than watching broadcast tv.
There are already displays with xvYCC and it's gamut is so big that 8-bit colors will show banding. 8-bits are enough for ntsc gamut, but not bigger.
Next versions of bd / hd-dvd specs will include xvYCC and h.264 broadcasts will probably use xvYCC also in the future.
ACDs are also used a lot in professional video post production and there is need for more than 8-bit colors. Also high quality photography needs more than 8-bits. All DSLRs have had deeper color depth than 8-bits from day one.
8-bits is enough when display's real contrast ratio is about 300:1, but when we already have displays that have contrast ratio way beyond that, there is banding on a carefully profiled display. 256 brightness levels just isn't enough. That's why sdi has had 10-bits for a decade.
So there really is need for more than 8-bits with displayport or any other way. Even average consumers will notice that within a lifetime of a new ACD.
When I buy expensive high quality devices like displays, I want them to be high quality at least half of their life, not just now.

I saw people setting up camp the night before at 9:00 PM. I don't want to be that far towards the end and besides I'm going to be working while camping out so it's win/win :)
9:00 PM? I can beat that.
Just let me know what time you'll go because i'm going alone and need someone to hold my spot while I utilize the local QFC's facilities :D

The last line of the first rule in style.css seems to be one of the culprits.
html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, img {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
outline: 0;
font-size: 100%;
}
If you change the value of font-size the fonts on the page adjust accordingly... except for the page you go to after clicking on Submit, where the Main Menu and Contact Info font size stay constant no matter how much you fiddle with that value.
Somewhere that font-size rule is being altered by another rule. Unfortunately there are so many levels of nesting in the HTML markup and unused selectors and rules in the .css files that I cannot even begin to guess at where that is happening.
My only suggestion is to make a new stylesheet with only the rules the page is using and then comment them out one by one, until you find the offender.

How where you able to get those icons to display their stats like that.. I have geektools installed and haven't a clue how to use it
Right-click the desktop>Show View Options>click Show Item Info. From there alter the font size, position, and grid spacing to your liking.
Hope this helps. :D

Hi,
Im thinking about buying a Mac Mini. I was going to opt for the non server version and get the 2.66ghz processor and the upgraded hard drive to 500GB.
My question is, is it a worthwhile upgrade? or is it just better to leave it with the 2.4ghz and get a better hard drive.
Regarding the hard drive, are you able to buy a faster one ie, one that runs at 7200rpm and put it in the mac mini yourself. I have heard that the drive in the Mac Mini is a slow hard drive.
What is the biggest hard drive that will work in the Mac Mini?
Many Thanks

You will need to get two active MDP to DVI adapters (Amazon has them for about $35 each), passive adapters will only work with up to 2 monitors. The Apple dual-link/active adapters will work but they are expensive, and if you don't need the dual link, they are overkill as well. The real issue is the resolution of the monitors, and you may need the dual-link/active expensive adapters depending on the monitor you connect. I don't know much about that, so maybe someone who knows for sure could chime in...:cool:
That's assuming the Samsung monitors only have DVI inputs and no DisplayPort .. ports... Then yes, you would need some active adapters.
But yes, the 3 monitors can plug in and "screen span" as you call it. It's just simply set from the Display sections of the System Preferences.
As for the Nvidia 8800GT... I dunno. Don't have one. But, probably? If the 8800GT only needs 1 power connector - the 5770 will take 1 power connector leaving one spare.

As in an M0001, saying just 'Macintosh' on it � so predating the launch of the 512k and the rebrand/slight internal redesign to make the 128k proper. This is a fully functioning machine, in all its original packaging, all manuals and all original disks and cassette tapes (including MacWrite and MacDraw).

All modern sound cards are good enough (read, perfect) for anyone that does not have a professional DJ set up, ten thousand dollar speakers, or something of that sort.
In that case, they'd probably use an external sound device via USB, but that's besides the point.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure the Mini and iMac both use Intel High-Definition Audio cards, which support digital output.
You can also adjust the Equalizer in iTunes if you're not happy with the bass, treble, or frequency ranges when playing music.

AppleInsider Article: "The filing is credited to four Apple employees: Nick King, Duncan Kerr, Paul Herbst and Steven Hotelling."
Is this the type of thing Apple does? Thought they had more control over employee/press relations...
The whole article sounds a bit overloaded with info - is it April Fools?http://forums.macrumors.com/images/smilies/redface.gif

I'm seduced by all the possibilities. As a visual artist without much tech training. I want to sell my kits and artwork online. so many paths.
HELP !
And later,help other artists get a web presence.(selling bandwidth?)
Any opinions? Could anyone lay out the steps towards a prosperous, informative, functioning website.
I have rapidweaver, macromedia studio mx 2004 and adobe cs. I have the artistic skills,photos, is it just a matter of creating it on the computer, finding a host and going from there/ what makes a good host/ I want to be able to sell and reach lots of people. I have such a good product!

Sorry to bump, but couldnt anyone help me?? someone must have tried RAM with heatsinks on there mac mini...The problem is so much RAM these days ships with the heatsinks fitted,
SHadOW
Three answers:
1) Don't do it, there isn't room physically
2) Any RAM you are considering buying with heatsinks is, by definition, not RAM sold with a guarantee of Mac compatibility. No Mac RAM is sold with heatspreaders. Buy from a reputable dealer who guarantees compatibility with the Mini. Don't put in random PC memory.
3) If you already have a piece of RAM that you are bound and determined to try then just take off the heat spreader - it's like, a $2 piece of aluminum held on by two spring clips... :rolleyes:

I replaced my old reliable gen 1 core duo 15" MacBook Pro with the entry level 11" Air and couldn't be happier. Don't get all caught up in specs, this little guy is super speedy and seems to be optimized for the SSD. After a few days of getting used to the smaller but high rez screen, all is groovy. My only semi wish is for a back lit keyboard. I'm used to not having it now, but I do miss it. All in all a solid, speedy, super lite computer.
