Screw Dvd Jon. He's a moron. iTunes is popular because it's a simplistic kick ass store. It's easy to use, and well organized. It has a great selection for a price cheaper than most CDs.
If he is a moron, what does that make you? Could you crack DRM schemes when you were 16? Can you do it now?
This is a useful fair use enabling technology. It will mean that iTMS purchased songs could be played on any player that has licensed Jon's work. It will mean that the iPod can play music from any store that has licensed Jon's work. This is a good thing for consumers, it opens up the market (assuming other companies license it).
This only happened because Apple wouldn't license Fairplay themselves. Imagine where the CD would be today if Philips had never licensed it. DRM makes a digital format operate like a physical format - Fairplay is Betamax versus PlaysForSure's VHS for example.

Hello,
I have been using my Mac mini PowerPC G4 (1.5) with satisfaction, but recently its superdrive (Matshita DVD-R UJ-845C, firmware rev. DPP9) stopped to pull inside any disc (despite I made use of it very seldom) and now I am in doubt if it is better for me to change it with a new one or leaving it unworking and make use of an external firewire optical drive (e.g. LaCie d2 DVD RW 22x ...). Any piece of advice is very wellcome.
Best Regards

you really don't need to know anything of folding with mc68k script, or of the Terminal. I was the same as you, didn't knew anything about both subjects. And I got it to work! The only thing you have to do is double click the installer and then type in Terminal your username and teamnumber and answer some other question that you have to answer with every folding app. You can see if it works if you open the activity monitor. You can see that the app folding/FAHcore is using a fair amount of cpu power.

Okay, I need some of your expert advice.
Some years ago, when we got our first iPod Classic (which wasn't classic back then, haha), I spent an ENTIRE weekend swapping out and ripping CD's, one every 10 minutes or so. FOR HOURS!!
Well, do to then-space limitations, we ended up parsing some of those songs and deleting them.
I would like to undergo a repeat project, over the course of a few weeks of course, of re-ripping ALL of my CDs to ensure that ALL of our music is in iTunes.
Will iTunes advise me when a CD is being duplicated so I can save the time it takes ripping that one and allow me to move on to the next?
If not, once I've re-ripped my 2 or 300 CDs, is there a simple way to delete the dupicates out of iTunes? What if they are different versions of the same song - exactly but from different sources (different CDs, like Artist X, then Artist X Greatest Hits, or Artist X as part of a soundtrack compilation).
What if they are different versions such as a live version, or an extended version?
Thanks for your experienced input!

I have an IBM thinkpad r40 that I purchased new two years ago and I had no idea that I needed to renew the warranty within the warranty period or you can't purchase another one ever from IBM. (This probably has to do with the whole Lenovo exchange stuff). Anyway, it has about 2 years worth of wear and tear and I'd basically be selling it for parts.
If you know how to fix computers then this computer will work just fine for you. There's been some stuff going on with the screen and it might be the video card and I'd rather just retire it. I don't have money to get a new laptop right now so I figure I'd just sell it for what I can get.
Everything functions fine except for the screen that has lines on it and I don't know wussup with that nor do I have the funds to find out. I have all of the backup cds and stuff and it comes with:
-the basic ultrabay ibm cd-rw/dvd-rom drive
-P4 processor
-like 1.2-1.4ghz processor speed (I can't check right now b/c the way the screen is acting)
-384mb of RAM
-Windows XP Home SP2
-original install and backup cds that came with the computer
-battery
-power adapter/charger
I really don't know what else to do with this laptop and it has some good parts in it if you didn't want to fix it up. You will need to add your own hard drive, but that's relatively inexpensive as well.
I paid about $1000 for this laptop, but since I don't know what the deal is and cant really afford to get it looked at I'm willing to sell for $300 shipped.

This is just out today. HTC Thunderbolt outsold iPhone at Verizon. There's goes your cute little theory.
Make no mistake, this is an amazing quarter for Apple, but it's not the only one doing well in the smartphone boon.
You quoted a BGR story on a sourceless report from ITG, good show. I can throw up a blog and claim just the opposite if it makes you feel better.
The iPhone was the #1 selling phone (not smart phone) in 2010. You are getting excited that in its launch month a brand new phone might have outsold one that is almost a year old?

Hopefully they will release Iphone 5 this fall. My 3gs is getting slow but it still works, could be the software but the overall design needs a refreshment.
I refuse to buy the Iphone 4 because it's about a year old now, to buy an Iphone 4 now is just plain stupid.
good example of my post :)

Good Call! You are right. I remember AtEase being used on my Performa 6400.
and I almost said "switcher" , the pre-curser to multifinder.......we all remember using that right??

Well, the 1.5GHz G4 is out. Yes, it's overclocked, but it appears to be fairly stable. Following the overclockability-to-future-product releases-scale (which has now proved true the last several product announcements), we could easily see 1.5GHz G4s in the next revision.

Personally, I'd wait and see on this before putting down this much money. I expect that AT&T can track down and relock phones unlocked through this method. And, if they do, it probably won't take them that lock.
Second: while the seller claims they will refund your money, I wouldn't place a lot of faith in this if your phone gets relocked after a period of time. While Negri Electronics doesn't appear to be a scammer, some of the complaints about their customer service definitely would make me cautious about doing business with them - esp. in a case where I might be needing to get a refund from them months down the road. See reviews here (http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Negri_Electronics).

Not working for me.
- I added "# 74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com" to my hosts
file.
- Downloaded iPod Touch 4G 4.1 firmware, and Shift + Clicked the restore button.
- Successfully put my device into DFU Mode (Power off, plug in, Power + Home, let go of power)
but nothing works for me.
I always get an error code (number 3thousandsomething)
Is there a way I can fix this?

And? They are still losing marketshare. Apple is growing much slower than the market. And yes Android ships more *phones* than Apple ships *total* iOS *devices* (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad) per quarter (40 million Android smartphones compared to 33 million iOS devices).
And? No one expects Apple to be the market share leader. There are dozen of companies selling Androids. None come close to Apple's market share. None come close to Apple's profitability.
As an AAPL holder, what more can I ask?

As far as Nintendo porting, that would be a horrible decision for them. They might as well sell themselves to Sega. Nintendo's situation is worsened by the 3DS kind of missing the point and they don't need to make it even worse by losing their exclusives. (Personally, the 3DS completely lost me. I bought the original DS and DS lite but I see no reason to get a 3DS because they just tacked optional 3D on). Sony's NGP might interest me if they ever get their store/update junk sorted out. They seem to have ADHD.
I have to agree here.
Until they find games that the 3D is actually part of game play (it is essential to the actual game and not just add on prettyness), it's just a nice extra but it's a gimmick and not enough to actually sell it over other devices. ANd I really don't see how 3d, at least how it is implemented in the Nintendo, can really be implemented to be part of game play and not just something to pretty up the screen. Sure, it adds to the experience, but it's not essential to the experience. You could play a similar game on another game player easily enough, just not as "pretty".
Any console/hand held in the end, if it is going to sell itself for playing games, has to get the games that make people want it to play them.

There's a timing issue here.
While LTE is out, it's not widely deployed yet. Cores of cities are being covered, but many markets don't have coverage yet (true for me personally - my "market" has coverage, but only where I work and not on the commute home, or at home).
Mobile chipsets for LTE are also power-hungry today.
When do you push to have LTE in your handset? Sure, Verizon may be pushing it, but until a device can meet Jobs's's's high bar for performance, I don't see a shift just yet.
Perhaps a delay to September makes things clearer to Apple. Perhaps there's a new chipset coming from QC which doesn't suck space and power (and generate a lot of heat in the process).
September also allows for a bunch more expansion of LTE, specifically VzW here in the states.
