Define "need to use." I use Pages for all of my reports, and output to PDF for presentation to my clients. If they need a Word version, I export it as Word. Never had a single complaint. I present in Keynote quite often, sometimes saving the slides in PDF form. Never had a complaint there either; in fact the Keynote presentations in particular get rave reviews.
I don't get why people manufacture so many impediments that don't exist to using something other than MS Office. I would loathe the thought of being chained to MS Office, or anything else for that matter, for the rest of my life.
Exactly, I use Pages and Keynote at School for my Engineering classes all of the time. I never have any problems but if there were a problem then I would save the document in .PDF in Pages or Keynote or possibly as a quicktime movie in Keynote. I just don't get what problems besides missing font problems people have I guess....
That does remind me that Pages needs an equation editor though. I have been using MathType to copy and paste equations into Pages or Omnigraffle if I am doing a schematic and would like an equation editor in both of those programs. Omnigraffle could use better dimensioning tools before it will be a full Visio replacement too.

Does anyone else have the problem that their iPod doesn't sync properly with iCal? I'm running Panther with a 4G iPod and up until recently it had all the days out by one. It changed about a week ago (when I reformatted my iPod) but now everything is running half an hour earlier than it should.
I've had a look around on the forums but I can't find anything like this. Is it just me?
Any help would be hugely appreciated because this is quite annoying. :(

E911 on GSM phones is handled by triangulation at the towers. GPS is not a component common to most GSM phones and certainly not a part of the standard (E911 wouldn't work with older or imported phones if they relied upon GPS.)
I think GPS is, IIRC, built into IS-95 ("CDMA") in some form, as phones have to have some idea of where they are for the system to work (GSM is more "I can hear a tower, I'll talk to that. Ooops! It's complaining I'm too loud, I'll lower my power level", that kind of thing. Very laid back and easy going. Nice.)
Actually I have 3 T-Mobile phones, each has GPS for use in E-911. Its a new federally mandated requirement.

I have a 4th Gen iPod Touch and I used Green Poison AND Limera1n, both of which says the jailbreak was successful but no icons were installed for me to install Cydia. Can anyone help?
Please provide more detail.
I don't know your firmware version (btw limera1n nor gp works with 4.2.1).
I don't know if your definition of no icon correlates to ghost icons or not.
I don't know if you used the loader to install cydia or not.
Please reply with the needed information.

...What's the point of a hold button if it isn't physical anyway??
It could be a button such as the locking method on the 1gen shuffle...hold the play/pause button for 5 seconds or so...see the flashing led...locked. (I really don't like that lock method, but it is what it is).

Sorry let me clarify, I'm @ BB in SLC. There is just me here, well my chair and me. At 4PM they give you a ticket so you don't have to wait in line for the last hour. So stupid.
Do they have a clue on stock? Best Buy in SLC may be a good backup if the Gateway gets too overrun.

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.

You have to use that programe on the Mac. I was wondering if on a PC if there is any way to convert the windows media file to a MP3 file with iTunes or something?
That is good to know that I can do it on my Mac. Thank You for the link.

I don`t think changing categories will help your sales much, the best strategy would be sending interesting press releases to sites, blogs, any kind of media that writes about mac world.
Example, once we sent an interesting text about one of our apps to an italian app-covering site, thay published the story, and the downloads went up by almost 1000% in the period of next 10,15 days...

I have the ARC-1880i card so I can answer some of your questions
1. Setup. Very straightforward ARECA provides a web interface that is very reliable
2. Reliability. So far I had no problems, I cannot say the same for highpoint, with that card I already had 2 RAID 5 crashes. The areca is handling an array of 4 SSDs on RAID 0 (I perform daily backups for this one to a velociraptor)
3.I just flashed the EFI driver following NANOFROG's advice and with that I was able to boot from the SSD that look as a 480GB image to OS X
4.Cable setup. I have 2 SAS-SATA cables and was able to route them to the second ODD were I have the 4 SSD drives
Looks like for the four 3.5" bays on the Mac Pro I'll need something like in the below link to use the 1880 series Areca raid controller with 4x HDD's in those bays.
http://www.maxupgrades.com/istore/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_id=189%20
Care to post the instructions or link to the thread with details on flashing the Areca card that NANOFROG gave you?
How many RAID volumes can you configure using the one Areca controller using the internal ports? I am guessing all drives that connect using the ( MiniSAS- SATA 4x multiplier). So for two internal 6G ports on the RAID controller (8 drives in any number of RAID configs). I want to run a 4x HDD RAID5 and 2x SSD's in non raid off the one controller. Maybe even go for the 1880-ix with external RAID support for a 3rd external RAID1 volume, all of the same controller. Wondering how much RAM I will need in this case, would 512MB default be enough you think?

Me neither. I want a large capacity (100GB+) audio iPod. No movies, no photos, no games. A black and white screen and a long battery life.
I like the idea of a color screen to show Cover Art. I'm actually selling off my 5G to get a 4G color since battery life is like 10x better plus.... much better control.

very interesting, now have to figure out how to create one... thanks for sharing...
Tripod is a must.
I take a photo with the desired effect like motion blur.
take a video clip. (i use a nikon d3100 with 1080p video at 24fps)
Use quicktime to select a section of the video for the motion, copy and paste to a new clip and "export as image sequence"
Now, in photoshop, resize the original image to match the size of the video frames.
overlay the individual frames, delete everything within the frames that you don't want to be moving
create individual animation frames and export as a GIF

The firmware Version: 4.2.1
Model: MB702LL
but the baseband version not provided buy the seller:eek:
Use redsn0w to jailbreak it, then you can find out the baseband. Most likely, you will have the 05.16 baseband which can't be unlocked it.
Here is the link on how to jailbreak your phone;

For those that currently use iTMS, the presence of other music providers supplying and actively marketing "iPod compatible" tracks will create competition that Apple currently don't have. This will drive prices down, or force Apple to add value to their own offerings. (For those that don't buy via iTMS, instead choosing to rip CDs or use P2P networks, it makes no difference either way).
This assumes that Apple sets prices and controls content. It really doesn't--the store is barely above break-even, and Apple owns none of the content. Competition only weakens Apple's bargaining power with the RIAA, which in turn will drive prices UP. We've already seen them try.
For the broader market, increased availabilty of "iPod compatible" tracks from various suppliers can only enhance the iPods appeal. Clearly it would be preferable for Apple to licence their actual DRM to other suppliers, but they won't. This is a happy workaround.
What is the inherent "good" in being able to buy Fairplay tracks from other vendors? Purely that lower prices might happen on other websites (with high startup costs and bad licensing positions with the RIAA, making this "lower price" for mainstream music almost impossible)? The only advantage I can see is for small indie labels, who might provide high-quality DRMed files for good prices. This of course would be good for everyone, but it's not exactly a huge market.

FCP HD on a 12" iBook can be fine if you are doing your plain editing with minimal effects.
With a lot of effects I would suggest either put more ram and get a faster HDD. Since FCP uses the HDD for scratch files even if you have more then 1gig of ram.
The screen is not too bad you can always span it, no biggy. :)
Though if you can afford it I would get the 15" PB for it.

I'm in in the same boat as you. My upgrade is in early May and I can't decide if I should get the iphone 4 or wait based off rumors...
but I think I'm just going to with the iphone 4, it already fits all my needs and I don't see what else apple could do for me in improvements for the next phone
Mine ended early March and I was going to wait till summer for the 5 but with all the speculation of it being delayed I went ahead and got the iPhone 4 a few weeks ago (Had a 3GS). I just didn't want to wait till June and then have to wait till September etc...
