I've had T-Mob for three years now, and several benefits are: 1 year contracts, free phone upgrades after a year, GSM technology, unlocked phones on request after a year, overseas roaming, very competitive plans, including family plans, good major market coverage, all-local-all-the-time calls (no roaming, no long distance,) $.05/minute calls to Mexico and Canada - that's cheap, folks! And, voice transmission quality with my Moto V190/V360 series phones has been crystal clear with 1 bar or more signal strength. On the customer service side... other than the stupid initial computer generated person you have to get past, once you're dealing with a real person I find the service to be 1st class, and I've had a few discussions at length with extremely knowledgeable and informally pleasant cust. serv. agents.
Of course, in rural areas, the service is definately more spotty, and at times non-available... but I just wait a few minutes and I'm usually back in range. Somebody said the voice mail at T-Mob wasn't customizable, whatever that means..?? but certainly you can change and record your own message just like with any other service, and I see no difference there.
On the towers, well, T-Mob builds their own towers, and has some kind of mutual agreement with Cingular (formerly AT&T GSM) to use their towers for roaming, and vice versa. Fairly invisible to end users. In fact, I submitted our property on the Oregon coast to t-mobilelandlords.com for consideration as a new tower location. Bottom line: other than the lesser coverage areas compared to Verizon, there's not a thing wrong with my servicel, or the phones they provide. And with my two older phones, when I'm going out to do something physically risky, I just slip my SIM card out of my new phone, and put it in my older Nokia in case it falls in the river. All my phone numbers are duplicated on my new phone's internal memory as well as the SIM, so it's nice having a spare/backup couple of phones in the drawer. Try that with CDMA.
By the way, if you see more 11 yr olds w/ T-Mob phones, it's probably because their parents saw it as a cheaper family plan alternative to the competition. I doubt the kids made the decisions. Can you hear me now?
Now, come on Apple. I'm waiting!

Have you checked HotScripts (http://www.hotscripts.com)? Personally I'd use PHP.
i'd hope someone who is able to code to figure out to google his answer especially for something like an asp shopping cart....

That's so true! I really wanted to go ultimate this time and that's what i did :cool:
But i have to admit the cheapest iMacs are the best deals this time
*Edit*
One thing i'de like to add. If video editing for you means doing some cuts, arranging your material and maybe doing a quick colour correction you don't need a powerfull machine. Actually i'm doing this with 1080p DSLR and Sony EX Cam footage on my two year old mac mini without problems.
The reason i'm ordering a new iMac is that i hit my computers limits when doing extensive compositing in After Effects.
Hope that helps

I guess they wanted to inconvenience them millions of subscribers just to delay the small minority of AT&T customers willing to jump ship :rolleyes:

Sony needs to make use of the already established and once popular "Walkman" name and make a real iPod competitor.
They did bring back the Sony Walkman and it was DOA. Lots of models with no one wanting to buy them. It was a big strategy for them. Sony doesn't know how to market things anymore. Actually, Sony doesn't know how to design things anymore either.

i had the choice but opted for a 4G 30GB instead. i had a 3G 10GB that had been full for most of the time i had it (had it for just over a year).I thought the 20GB'd be too small but didn't want to fill the cavern of the 60GB--figured that by the time i filled it with music i'd actually wanna listen to (instead of just all my cd's--even ones that i haven't listened to since I bought 'em), i'd be ready to upgrade/move on to something else. so I bought the 30GB on sale from the apple store online-- reminds me: i need to send in my rebate form...
the 60 would be good to backup files on your computer, but for music only it was too big for me.

Hey all,
I just published my first iWeb website, which I created over the past few days. It's in French and related to my wedding, but I'd be interested in hearing your reviews on how I can improve the website, add new functionalities, and make it even more user friendly.
I'd like to add a guestbook, but haven't found one that I like enough as off now. I also would like to add more features / multimedia stuff, so any idea is welcome.
Just a note : our wedding theme is on the 50s, and the colours are brown and old pink. The first pic on the welcome page is a drawing of me and my wife inspired by an old ad we found on internet.

I also would like to know if I can have a facebook integration without using MobileMe. I'd like any new article published on the website to be posted directly on my facebook account. Is that possible ?
Thanks for your reviews.

Who here saw "Commander in Chief"? ... Any thoughts?
Just finished watching it on tape and enjoyed it very much. I was hoping it would be decent and it more than surpassed my expectations. Fine performances, good storylines and not the least bit boring giving the political nature of the show.
Now there is something entertaining and engrossing to follow "The Biggest Loser" on Monday evening ... this one may actually prove to be a bonafide winner.

I've tried JetPhoto and it's a dream!
It's has a really nice client on the Mac that integrates with iPhoto and, once set up, gives one click uploading via FTP. The server is a simple PHP script.
It offers some very nice goodies like a flash gallery, a choice of themes and GPS technology integration.
Oh ... and it's free.

This looks nothing short of ridiculously brilliant, and seems to be exactly what I'm after. Can't try it until this evening, but I think you've just solved my problem.
Many thanks. :)

I love the original and am looking forward to getting my hands on the iPad 2 version, but watching your video raised a concern to me. Every time you even slightly move the iPad, you can hear it turning itself off. It happens constantly. Is the cover not held down by magnets too, and it's just an activator? If this is the case, then it becomes almost a must to use the strap to keep the lid closed.

I'm a web developer so I use the Activity a LOT but some time ago it stopped working
I have a list of windows/tabs but when I open each page, it lists no file... no image, no css, not even the html/php itself... this happens for any domain or localhost
If the page has some kind of external call it load like a subitem but its empty as well. For example, if I have an iframe it makes a subpage but when I open it, the arrow goes down but nothing appears...
I'm lost here, have no idea what's happening. I already tried running AppleJack and did nothing
Any ideas?

Would that be possibly that Apple is trying to patent as many as possible user interface/method so that no one can get anything closer to the REAL video iPod?
I think there's a lot of truth in this.
The idea in this patent looks VERY intuitive to me, but it does fall down in being usable one-handed.
Nobody knows what Apple will actually come out with, nor when they will do it. It wouldn't surprise me if Apple take another 9 months to release the "true" video ipod. They've got some difficult engineering to do!

It does make me laugh how people went on and on about how the 12" powerbook was the ultimate laptop and coupling it with a 20" display or larger was the ideal way to work... and then the 11MBA comes along and blows the 12" PB away in the specs and portability department, yet people still aren't happy.
I loved my 12" PB and I really feel that this 11MBA is the true replacement. It's much lighter, much thinner and is so much more powerful (plays youtube perfectly compared to the G4). There's also the much better battery, newer software and much longer sleep. It's win-win.

700 quids for 30"???
Hahaha, this is Apple, man - grease up and bend over, you'll get raped brutally if you need anything high-end or close to it.
Sometimes I wonder why would anyone buy any additional HW from Apple, their prices are so laughably off, so jacked-up while they don't offer anything extra - let alone when rather less - over any competing product.
You want the world's best 30" display for TV or any other video stuff? Go and get the Gateway 3000 for $1.5k, it even has the HQV Reon scaler chip on-board, nothing can touch it, that's for sure. You want good colors? Try any of those 92% NTSC gamut displays (e.g. Dell 3007WFP-HC or HP) for ~$1k.
All of these sport lot more ports and features than Apple displays, lower pricetag and better performance. Other than 'matching' purposes - my fav Apple Store quote is "it's best to use a Mac with an ACD" ROFL - nowadays it makes zero sense to waste money on any Apple display, I think.
How this will change with new products coming form Apple, I don't know but Apple's less-than-stellar track record - brutally overpriced yet rather mediocre releases, first runs always pagued with stuff like 'pink problem' etc - doesn't make me think they will do anything revolutionary at this time but who knows...:)

Alright lets start with simple here, reinstall XCode from a downloaded image from Apple.
I'll have to give that a try. I thought it was an error in the code somewhere and there is almost nothing relevant online about the error (or if I find something people say they fixed it but don't say how :( )
For now I have a workaround of just creating new projects and copying the authors code in and running it that way for now.

Depends on what you do. Most likely not, to be honest.

It would be helpful to have integrated debugging, but I imagine this might not be possible since I am going to be using WebGL. In the least I would want syntax coloring, as strong error checking as possible prior to runtime, good facilities to manage lots of files and revisions, and some facilities to speed up workflow. Any advice?
Vim.
Debugging is mainly handled within the browser. Chrome and Firefox are especially good at this (Firefox has Firebug which is useful and the standard Chrome dev tools are top notch too).
