So am I wrong in thinking that resolution independence basically enables me to run the Finder at 1440x900 or whatever it is...Photoshop at 1680x1040 or whatever...and Safari at 1024x768?
No, that's not what it means. It means the UI is resolution independent of its display device, not that each application runs at a screen resolution different than others. This is designed so that screen resolution can increase without making the UI teeny tiny and unreadable.

I would say it's gonna b worth a nice pile anytime u wanna get rid of it. Around 500 would be a good price to grab it now. It's gonna be an iconic image.

Well, I don't think the OP specifically broke any forum rules. This was not a for sale thread, nor a thread asking how to sell on this forum.
I would suggest selling this on Craigslist. You could probably get $75 for it there, as opposed to ~$20 here. Shipping this would be close to $35 for this, so not many people here would be willing to pay that unless they were a diehard collector.
In order to sell here, you need to have a minimum of 250 posts, so unfortunately you can't sell here. Therefore, you'd have more luck selling it locally.
If you still want to try selling it online 68kmla.net and LEMSwap (http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap) both deal more specifically with lower-end hardware sales. But please, stick around this forum. Its the best. :D

And to download a stream you need Quicktime pro I think, I have never used my copy so if you need my copy PM me.
I can transfer ownership to you.
edit: before you even posted this I had this on my hard drive, it ROCKS! :D

I do not disagree with you. I should have said for "my real work". Obviously there are activities that require mobile computing and can be handled by a phone, tablet, netbook etc. just fine.
Sorry - it wasn't aimed at you in particular. Rather, at the hordes of people who seem to think small notebooks and tablets - Apple ones in particular :) - are only for consumption. A later poster put it perfectly: the market has evolved, not the computers. In practical terms, as a business traveller, this suggests to me that I'll see fewer and fewer guys in suits schlepping gigantic Dell laptops with power bricks the size of small houses, and using them solely for Word and Outlook.

I am speaking specifically about TRON Legacy here, although I suppose this question would also apply to other movies that share a similar situation.
Here's what I did: I used MakeMKV to rip my Blu-ray of TRON Legacy to an MKV file, and then I used Handbrake to convert that MKV file into an M4V file formatted specifically for use on my iPad (1024 x whatever, etc.).
Here's the problem: TRON Legacy STARTS out as a 2.35:1 widescreen movie, but during various scenes in the movie, it SWITCHES to a 1.78:1 (16:9) widescreen format which is what was used in IMAX presentations. It switches back and forth between these two formats. But because the movie STARTS in 2.35:1, Handbrake wants to rip the entire movie in that format and so it's 2.35:1 all the way through -- the 1.78:1 scenes are being truncated at the top and bottom to fit that format. What I want to know is whether there are settings in Handbrake that will let me tell it, "Rip the movie so that it's 1024 pixels wide at all times, but vary the height as required by each particular scene."
Thanks for any help!

Some order forms insist on an email account that is specifically not Yahoo, or Hotmail. I can guess the reasons, but only guess.
I'll check on Anonymous.to MrMacman.
Thanks guys.

I have a video that i recorded back in October with my iPhone 4, but for some reason now it won't play. It says "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file. I have tried a bunch of different corrupted video repair software programs....i got one to convert a little bit of it (you have to pay over $100 to get the full converted video.) While the video is a nice short little video, it isn't worth $100 to have it ...however, is there another way to fix these? i know it helps to have a video that is a reference video shot around the same time, which i do. if anyone has any suggestions, i would greatly appreciate it.
Tried opening in other players then QuickTime? The message doesnt say the file is corrupted is why I'm asking. Try at least VLC, Handbrake, and MPEG Streamclip...

I too hear some subtle and intermitent clicking and whirring noises when the room is very quiet at night and I'm just browsing MacRumors :)
I guess it's normal. This is a new PB too, so the hard drive is new as well.

Website for that tuner/specs on it? Interested for a MCE box if you happen to sell it. ;)
Well the TV tuner will do it's job, unfortunetly I never go it to work, I believe it was because my graphics card was using DirectX 9 and the TV tuner didn't like it or something :confused: I don't think that Windows Media Center Edition would even support it, I wouldn't know since I don't have it. The PCI card originally came with a remote control but, I bought it used so I didn't get one :rolleyes: Its an AverMedia Studio TV....or was it TVStudio?
Well I can't find it on the official site anymore, they re-did their "brilliant" site over again. To be honest it's not the best card, and I don't know if it would be the best for what you need it for. :p

i had screen artifacts and then a lock up before. i hoped it was not the mobo. so i cooked my graphics card at 400 degrees in the oven. and now it's back to normal. if you see screen artifacts it's usually a graphics problem. (from my experience since the old ibooks. do you have apple care? if you do. try to record the problem on video and take it to the apple store.

Funny thing about the new gawker media sites is that they pretty much lost a ton of their traffic after the switch to the new layout.

Fail design is fail.
Also ca.gizmodo.com works fine for me. But I prefer their RSS feed anyway.

If you don't want to deal with eBay, how come they are listed on eBay?
i'm trying to get rid of them however i can, including ebay - but every time somebody buys it on ebay, it's always from an unconfirmed address and then i have to re-list. Hence, i'd rather sell here.
phungy, can we please keep posts relevant to the sale? Please read the Marketplace rules. Thanks!

The Macbook Air is GREAT product, BUT you really have to observe yourself and think will you every need a bright display, backlit keys, or fast processing(i kno the apps load FAST but exporting iMovie takes a LONG time)... if you can do without those things and NEVER will need them... GO for the MBA... if not.... user your $1000-$1500 elsewhere... thats a lot of money

just use Parallels or VMWare
Or DOSBox! I tried running a game under VPC 5 on a 400 MHz PowerMac G4. Too slow. So I then tried running it on a VPC 7 on a 1.25 GHz eMac. Still too slow. Then I tried running the game under DOSBox on the eMac. Ahhh, just right! Given that many of the games I still play are from the 80's or early half of the 90s, this works well for me, whether on x86 or PPC.
Another MS app which is being moved over as Universal app is RDC, which is probably my favorite MS application. I use this daily to work between my Mac and PC at work, and it works great, especially since I can use my second monitor for the PC, and still share both monitors for my Mac. A great VNC program for connecting to Windows. Too bad it can't connect to a Mac, also (I use Chicken of the VNC for that).
