Tired of Apple's locked ecosystem
Switching to Android.
I travel to China half of the year, I NEED and unlocked phone so that i can pop in my Chinese SIM card when i'm there.
iPhone is just not for me.
FU Apple.... so much for Freedom in the US.
WTF!? If you think that one company's choices take away your freedom, then: 1. You rely to much on one company and 2. If you think they are taking your freedom away just move to Libya and report back to me in a year.

All that needs to be done is to have the Macs that are not part of the "original" all-in-one series (128k, 512k, Plus, etc.) moved up in the heirarchy so we have
68k Desktops
Original (I'd include the SE, SE/30 and various Classics in here as well)

Recommending a particular mic for a singer is fraught with risk, as the human singing voice contains way too many variables to make this a simple choice. There is no guarantee a mic will be "the best" just because it's expensive or was used in some classic recordings. What's best for me probably won't be best for you, there's only one way to be sure and that's try a variety and see. Some find a cheap dynamic mic better for them than an expensive condenser.
If you're trying to avoid buying an audio interface by going usb, I wouldn't be heading straight for the top end of the market in microphones.

We are working to become more established (in an effort to increase our business) and to get our name out all over the country, and over the world even more, I thought that I would plug our design firm here on the boards, since the macrumors community is great at spreading the word. We are fun, fresh, and great to work with. Check us out at www.artisanstudiosinc.com (http://www.artisanstudiosinc.com).
The favor that I ask you macrumors community, is that if you need any design work, or know of anyone that needs that type of work, we would love to do it for you. PM me or email me at jj at artisanstudiosinc.com.
And btw, you will receive commission for your work. :)

I don't remember the paper, but my friend gets it delivered in Draper.
It said you guys were up playing games on a projector and smoking meat or something. Sounded like a pretty good time lol.
I showed up at 4:15PM and was behind about 900+ people!
I'd like to read that if anyone can find it.
Ya some guys brought a big party tent and had two projectors in it. One had XBOX 360 and the other Sportscenter. They also brought a barbecue and made everyone pork and bacon and other stuff. They were awesome.
I'm guessing you didn't get an iPad that day, correct?

Then that is the ideal situation! you have no worries about erasing anything permanently through iTunes then, if you have it backed up. The previous suggestion is best then.

i guess i am the only one that finds this a bit wierd. and rubs me the wrong way. so somewhere in googles databases my life is recorded on where and when i was there? i bet the government would love to get a handle on that.
:(
Yep, I'm with you on that. It already bugs me that my Prius has a black box for accidents and a GPS built in (for the nav system.) Why do we *trust* this government to not ask companies to turn that information over (just like they asked for our phone records) and for these corporations getting billions in tax incentives to eagerly comply? Now if you carry a GPS, government will be able to know where you are at any moment. I'm not buying it unless Apple includes a pledge with the product that they will fight to protect my legal rights if any government agency asks for these records without probable cause.

and where do you get that info?
The iPhone 3Gs has an ARM type 7 CPU. It is the first iDevice to have one, with the iPod Touch 2G being the last type 6. Apple no longer includes the type 6 instruction set. Similar to how Snow Leopard no longer works on PPC Macs. The iPhone 3Gs was also the first iDevice to have the PowerVR SGX535 GPU. The iPod Touch 2G was the last to have the PowerVR MBX Lite 3D. The driver kext is no longer in the firmware and its doubtful that the 4.2.1 one would work.
Furthermore, Apple doesn't sign the soft SHSH for 4.3 and none of the jailbreaking tools out support it. So unless the OP wrote his own method for jailbreaking 4.3 and getting around the soft SHSH, he has just faked his firmware and build number.
Wooooohooooohoooo go boy!! :D

In both cases of fopen(), you are assuming a particular value for current working directory, and from which your relative pathnames are assumed to be sensible.
I suggest checking your assumption of working directory, perhaps by NSLog()'ing the actual value, such as returned by the C function getcwd(). You should read the man page for getcwd() to see what its parameters are.

I'm basically looking for a list of your favorite apps, and what they do.
Games i have are fruit ninja, angry birds, sonic, and street fighter. All of them are fairly popular so nothing new there.
I use weather HD for weather, iFitness for workouts. I think iFitness is no longer available though.
Then just the apps that came with the phone, text/safari.

:( Wouldnt this mean they will try break 4.3.1 instead hence a longer wait? :( I hope not...
No. They would release a jailbreak that supports ios devices 4.3 and earlier.
They do it this way so apple won't have a chance to close their exploit until their next ios release which will happen months later.

Does anyone here have a high end camcorder with a built in 5.1 mic? If so does it really sound good? Being a new technology on camcorders under $1,200 Im curious if you really get a nice 5.1 sound. Obviously I'm not making Star Wars, nor awesome battle scenes with sound flying everywhere, but I like the idea if it really caught a jet going by or whatever sound would cross me. Love the idea cause I was with laser discs when AC-3 5.1 came out during my laser disc days and can't wait to see how it actually works once done editing without much sound tweaking as a test.
I dont really trust those who work on commission at Frys and Best Buy does not know my sound questions, just simple picture questions nor do they know how FCP works and other Mac questions. Why I come here to ask for honest answers.

Yes, i know a very quick and easy way to take mp3 files out of a youtube video. All you need is an email.
Go to www.zamzar.com
Then on the website where is says step one, click where it says url.
Copy and paste the url of the youtube video you want to extract the audio from and paste it in the open space for a link. (BE CAREFUL: make sure you delete the "http://" that is already there because you don't want it to look like "http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fSFWCY0uxE")
Then where it says step 2, choose mp3, which is a bit more than halfway down the list.
For step 3, enter your email address like it says to.
Then in step 4 click convert and when the window pops up click OK.
Once you get the email go under the blue box where it says "Alternatively click on the following link to download a copy of your converted file:" and click on the link below which should take you to another window.
After you click download in the new window it will download it and it should start playing on itunes or at least will be downloaded onto your computer.

I am having a devil of a time getting deinterlaced output from FCE 4. I definitely want DI movie files because the delivery target is always going to be a computer, never a TV.
My source clips are 1080 60i, from a Sony camera. I can import them into FCE OK and arrange them on a timeline.
I have tried turning on deinterlacing every single place I see it, but playing the exported mov always shows really ugly interlacing artifacts.
Attempt 1: I have tried adding the DI filter to each clip in the Browser, rendering, and exporting the sequence as a self contained quicktime movie. No luck. But if I export the clip to a mov (by right-clicking it in the Browser and choosing Export/Quicktime Movie) THAT mov looks fine and clearly has deinterlacing applied.
Attempt 2: I have tried exporting the project "Using Quicktime Conversion" and turning on the DI checkbox in the Size options... No luck.
There is surely SOMETHING I am doing wrong but I can't figure it out.
I looked in to the JES deinterlacer but it won't work on MTS files, plus FCE won't even let you import MTS files from the desktop... they have to be right out of the camera, which seems daffy to me.
I would be super appreciative of any tips. This is the second to last problem I need to solve to make this video camera useful. (The next will be figuring out how to get my deinterlaced mov files to Vimeo, which demands mp4 I think.)
I am finding the world of video editing to be about a million times more complex and frustrating than I expected. I'm going back to still photography. ;)
Use MPEG Streamclip;)

I was in my dorm's bathroom, getting ready to go to class that day. Some people in the bathroom had heard about the first plane, and were telling us - nothing concrete, I just remember hearing about a plane, and the World Trade Center. I went into the common area, turned the tv on to the news, and saw the replay of the second plane hitting. I didn't quite understand it, and went to class and in every class that day we either listened to the radio (my first class was an art studio, that's how I learned about the third and fourth planes) or the professor talked about it to some extent.

iWork updates are always welcome in my book, but I'm not sure "Lasso" will ever be as successful as Pages or Keynote. With programs like Pages or Keynote, you don't need guaranteed interoperability, but with Excel it's different. With Excel, you are less likely to distribute it in printed form or orally in a presentation, rather you would distribute it electronically. Plus, when it comes to numbers, there is no room for error.
Excel truly is the standard in this case (actually doing a good job), and it will be very hard to convince users to switch.
.
That's why nobody has succeeded to replace Excel in over 22 years of trying. That last word is something that hasn't always happened, trying. I use Excel to write my Income Tax Prep Program. So far only Excel will work for me.

Hi guys,
Just working on a project using the iPhone accelerometer, i seem to be struggling with a simple prob..
I am basically storing the accelerometer values into an array using a button. I am doing this several times (but all stored in SAME array).
I then have a method that checks every value with its proceeding value
e.g
if the first reading was 10 4 6 9
this method would check 10 with 4, 4 with 6 and 6 with 9.
So far this is fine, but if the accelerometer data is saved several times..
e.g. first reading = 10, 4, 6, 9
second reading = 7, 5, 2, 8
What i wanted the method to do is compare the values in the first reading then compare the values in the second reading. but the method is comparing every value with its proceeding one since all the values are in the same array.
How would i overcome this pro.
cheers in advance::

I'm picking up an original iPad for $250 and it's currently on 3.2.2. I want to update it to 4.2.1 and jailbreak it using Greenpois0n. Any advice on the right way to go about doing this? As far as I know, it's never been jailbroken up to this point.
Apple is no longer signing 4.2.1 so without having the SHSH blobs saved your only option will be to install 4.3 and do a tethered jailbreak.

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.
We absolutely need more than 8 bits on the pro end. 8 Bits would also decrease the range between colors of similar composition and improve image editing.
However, I don't believe OSX and the adobe suite supports more than an 8 bit pathway at present. I could be wrong on this. I think vista does.
