I like the mba, but they are so god awful slow. Maybe im just used to fast computers but no way i could use current gen of mba. Maybe next time but 6 year old tech is a bit to old for me.

"Seriously, if you can't find a use for 1TB of space in 3 or 4 years, then you probably shouldn't be buying a MacPro."
I can! :D
"Most photography apps don't need lots of cores (they just don't use them). The only appeal of a MacPro to a photographer is the expandability - lots of drives, interchangeable graphics cards. If you don't need the expandability, iMacs are much much better value machines."
This machine will serve multiple purposes, not only photography. However, I have thought about an iMac, but no can do!
"If you're seriously worried about saving $30 by buying a slower 500GB drive instead of a faster 1TB drive, you're definitely wasting cash spending $3000 on a MacPro."
Noted! I value opinions and personal advice. :D
"Is that right? How did the data get on to the RAID in the first place?
If your friend only has one copy of his files (on the RAID) then he doesn't have a backup. Backup = an alternate copy.
Not writing to that RAID doesn't make it magically safer... Your friend should get a backup if he's smart and he values his data."
I meant after he safed data to the drive, he does not access it on a daily basis. Although I agree with you, my friend will not. LOL He has been doing this for years.
"Not so funny when a thief breaks into your house and steals your Mac and the backup drive sat on the table next to it. Proper backups aren't just for professionals - they're for anyone who actually cares about keeping their data.
For someone with a $3000 Mac, a couple of hundred $ to buy enough disks to keep offsite copies is nothing."
I shall not be frugile any longer. Way to drive home the point! School has ended today. :) Also, sounds like you are speaking from experience.
Sounds like you should be looking at an iMac.
As stated before, I want and need the expansion of the Mac Pro.

Gapless playback on my 60GB 5G now works. Thank you apple. Finally.
i haven't tried this yet, but if it's true, i'm basically the happiest person ever.

Id say it depends on what kind of stereos they will introduce, if it's a shelf system then maybe around $400-650, for components even more, but I doubt it will go for $2000.

I just got an LG VX 7000 as a Hanukkah present, (my parents said - pick a new cell phone under 200, get a new contract, we'll buy the phone) and I feel the need to review this product as many people don't know much about it.
I grade cell phones based on the following:
Ease of use/menus
Graphic interface
Battery life
Audio quality
Screen quality
Quality of additional features
Design
East of use/menus: The LG VX 7000 uses a creative tabbed menu system that sometimes reminds me of a web browser. While completely uncomplicated, you might have to go through a multitude of menus to find what you want.
Pro User: A
Grandparent: B
Graphic Interface: The beautiful and crisp GUI really enhances the value of this phone. The startup graphics are incredible, and this displays pics well.
Pro User: A+
Grandparent: A+
Battery Life: For a color phone, this is a big improvement on earlier LG models. It will definately get you through the day and evening on a charge, if not last through the night and the better part of the following day depending on usage. Also, there are four battery bars instead of three, which makes it easier to have a range without guessing where you are.
Pro User: A
Grandparent: A+
Audio Quality: The audio is clear and beautiful. The ringers are loud and you can certainly hear them - no need to use vibrate unless you're at work/school etc. Calls are excellent, but that's also partly Verizon.
Pro User: A
Grandparent: A
Screen Quality: The screen is large enough for anyone to see and you have options for text size. It is clear and crisp. The outside screen is of a slightly lower quality, but unless you're displaying photos on it, it's not going to matter.
Pro User: A
Grandparent: A-
Quality of Additional Features: The phone is just that, a phone. Verizon's mobile web works nicely but is not very impressive - I don't use it and cancelled that service. This is a phone, not a camera, but if you're lucky, you might get a nice shot or two for your background. The video records audio nicely if you're close enough, and 15 second is enough for a decent clip.
Pro User: B
Grandparent: A
Design: This phone is sleek and stylish. There was a blue model, but now it's just black with Verizon, and the phone seems to be of high-quality and fairly durable material. The only major design flaw is not having a way to close the lens on the camera, we'll have to see how well that holds up....

I had just been hired to work at a large foundation two weeks prior to September 11. Since I was living in San Francisco at the time and the foundation was across town, I had to get up pretty early to make the two bus transfers that would get me there by 9am.
My alarm was set for 5:45am Pacific (8:45am Eastern), so I was waking up right as the first plant hit the WTC. At the time, I listened to one of those stupid morning DJ shows - "Sarah and Vinnie," and both were kind of off-the-wall almost every day. So after a song ends, Vinnie breaks in and reports that a plane just hit the WTC and makes a crack about bad piloting. A couple more songs play, and the 6am news update hits. In the meantime, I had rolled out of bed and popped on the TV to see what was happening - sure enough, there was a gaping hole in the top of the WTC on all networks.
With the 6am news droning on in the background on the radio, I turned up the volume on the TV - as I was doing so, I caught the second plane hitting the WTC live as it happened. Suddenly, from the radio I heard Vinnie (who was always kind of a numbnutz) scream "oh, *****, a second plane just hit the other tower, I just saw it on TV!" At which point both Sarah and Vinnie stopped talking for a second, and one of them said, "This is a lot more serious than it looks, that was no coincidence. I think all bets are off for today."
I got up and turned on CNN in the main room of our apartment and it really looked like all hell broke loose. I couldn't take myself away from the TV, but did call a good friend to tell him to, "wake the hell up and turn on your TV now!"
About 7:30 (when I was still in my bathrobe and should have been leaving to catch my first bus), my mother rang in on the telephone - apparently, my cousin, who was a NYC Firefighter was called from off shift to help with rescue efforts and my aunt was terrified. Got another phone call from work saying "don't come in today!" and stayed watching the tele until about 4pm.
Incidentally, my cousin couldn't be reached the entire day, so when the buildings collapsed the family feared the worst. He finally rang in sometime in the early morning Sept. 12 to say he was OK.
One of those days you remember every detail, that's for sure. Kind of like Challenger disaster when I was in 8th grade in NH and no-one knew what was going on.
[Edit]:
We'd just been in New York two years prior to 9/11. I'd recored the whole trip with my video camera. A short bit of it included the Trade Centre ... standing right at the bottom looking straight up.
I was living in NYC until Jan 1999 - went to three meetings and one government reception in the WTC buildings. The reception was at Windows on the World, the restaurant at the top of one of the towers. The views were spectacular...

had the screen do that funky line thing a couple times as well
Well there could be a few things going in here. I have to agree with the posts. I have owned an G3/500, 2 G3/900's and currently have a spec'd out G3/800. The biggest issues I have found with these laptops; 1.) The well documented video chip issue. Killed both of my 900's. The second is the pathetic plastics that line the case. But I digress, first things first the hard drive is indeed a pretty easy fix. You will need to get your hands on an ide hd, which are cheap as all get out. Look to www.newegg.com, www.computergeeks.com or whatever place you buy from. Second you will need the take-apart guide. Being that if you take your iBook into any MacStore they will laugh at you and take pity on a perfectly good mac that is not on par with a very fickle community.
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-iBook-G3-12-Inch-Hard-Drive/130/1
That is the guide for step-by-step. Not the easiest, but not all that hard, I would suggested using a digital camera to take pics along the way. And a handy tool is an egg carton to separate out the various screws.
Good luck, feel free to message me off list if you need any help.

Hello,
I have a Studiologic Numa which connects via USB. For some reason when I connect the USB cable it powers on the keyboard but mac does not recognize it at all, and Audio Midi Setup is useless when I ask it to rescan midi. This is a brand new macbook pro running Snow Leopard. Oddly enough, it works fine with my old macbook running Leopard. As far as I know my USB port works fine, as I've tried with both ports and they seem to work well with my external hard drives. I have also tried to change the USB cable to no avail
Any ideas?

I would prefer not having to ship it, thusin the Montreal area but I'll see how it goes. I'll post more info on it shortly when I actually go back to the lab. I just want someone to get some use out of it, rather than have it in a landfill somewhere.

A line can't be formed until 10 PM or 10 AM?

Would also be nice if they had a $250 15" LCD and a $99 CRT monitor.
But Apple has always walked away from the low margin product -- though the $650-$699 eMacs for education are reaching down quite a bit.
Basically there isn't enough margin in the low end for Apple to sell there -- it's basically a loss-leader and/or break even (if they're lucky) product for the likes of a lot of other companies.

Hi, new to apple products here. Purchased the 4th gen ipod touch and I'm concerned about protecting the front and back. Would buying a zagg invisibleshield full body (front and back) and also pairing it with a hard candy street skin case work? Or do you think the zagg shield on the back would slip out when I try installing it into the case? Any feedback or advice is appreciated. Thanks
Hey there, welcome to the world of Apple. What you're suggesting is a very common practice. I did it myself.
But I think that spending more than $5 on an invisible shield is a waste of money so I got the Stealth Guard (http://www.stealthguards.com/index.php/mp3-players/apple-ipod-touch-4th-generation-full-body-protection.html) for free (just pay $2.85 for shipping) and then spend around $25 for a case you like. Or, if you are patient enough, you can get a $.99 case from China. It takes between 8-15 business days to arrive.
I recommend soft flexible cases if you're concerned about dropping it. When it falls, a hard case won't help much, it will actually give you more trouble picking it up because the case will fly 5 feet away from the device.
The Stealth Guard looks much better in the front than in the back of my ipT4. And I chose not to use the solution when applying it. Now, in the back I applied the solution and so far I'm not enjoying it.

Same VGA cable each time? How long? Old? New? Does the VGA cable itself work wih other devices as expected?
Could also be bad mini-DP to VGA converter.
Thankyou for the reply.
The VGA cable is integrated in the miniDP-VGA adapter, about one meter long. But i've tried with an apple adapter + VGA cable that i usally use with my PC, same problem... :( I tried on a Mbacbook pro 13' and there is no problem..
Sounds like that 9400m video card is crappy.. or at least mine.. :(

Why use OpenOffice on a Mac? NeoOffice Aqua is the way to go on a Mac.
As for "Lasso", I assume that isn't the final name; OmniPilot Software, maker of the Lasso programming language (which is supposedly popular on Macs) would probably complain.

there are many well regulated Forums that dont belong to clans along w/ the fact that common folk arent that welcome. So please make a Games forum in ur next forum update. As for the new forums both cool the switch over one sounds a little better just beacuse ebay seems to be very prominent and the collectables forum seems to be good enought for announcements of bids.

I was at LAX waiting for a flight. As you can imagine, all the flights were cancelled and United put me up in a hotel.
I had actually taken a United flight from Newark to LA the day before (which was one of the routes that was hijacked) so that was close...
Edit: first thing I did was ring one of my friends in NJ to see if he was ok, since he had a job interview in NYC that morning. He was ok, he had heard about it on the way and turned around.
