I'd like to get a new 17" MBP and I'm wondering what the verdict is on SSD's... are third-party drives still a better option than the ones that come stock from Apple? If so, which brand/model is best? Also, what's the status with TRIM support and garbage collection in all this? Does Apple's current OS/hardware have either of these yet? If not, will Lion have TRIM support?
I have 4 SSD's.
A 256 GB OWC, in a 2007 BMB.A 64GB OWC in a 2008 BMB, both are mission critical, and I run my business with them.
I also have 2- 1.6 GHZ 4/64 11" refurb MBA's, that I am in the process of installing 360GB OWC Aura's in each.(one more to buy)
All OWC SSD's have performed as advertised, and have been problem free.
I have spoken with Hellhammer, and he has advised against the hack to enable TRIM on each, I
believe Apple supports garbage collection, on their own drives,but not others, but Lion will
support Trim, so I am waiting for Lion before I activate the MBA's
I have been very happy with all RAM, and SSD's purchased from OWC.:cool:

I heard that you'd passed on.
And you still haven't responded. Why? You asked a serious question, I responded in a serious fashion, and still no reply...
If there's one thing I'll never understand, it's why so many poor->low middle class people are conservative. I'll NEVER understand that. It's like you willingly like to shoot yourself in the foot. WTF?!
Because some people have morals. Because some people don't vote for things just because they'd enjoy some immediate personal benefit. Because some people see the bigger picture and value personal responsibility. They don't want a hand-out, they want to live with a good conscience. Thank God this is the case.
For the same reasons, these people are also more charitable (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=628006) than liberals. Conservatives and religious people are far more charitable to both religious and secular causes as a percentage of their income.

My roommate is a PC fanatic. He's an engineer, yet he still uses IE instead of Firefox for crying out loud. All of his purchased music is from MusicMatch, and he plays it on the cheapest player he could find.
He recently got a new computer and tried to get his MusicMatch songs to play on it. He has now devoted a couple hours every afternoon for 3 weeks to the project. In his weakened condition, I started showing him how my iTunes music could painlessly hop from computer to computer, and how if he used iTunes, he could stream all of my non-protected music. He was ready to cut his losses and switch to iTunes right there.
Unfortunately, iTunes songs won't play on his player so that was the end of it. There's no way he's paying more than $30 for a player, and there's no iPod that cheap. As a result, he'll never know how much better iTunes (and the rest of mac software) is. Apple had a chance to get their foot in the door, and instead they slammed his own door in his face.
The Shuffle is $79 and will not cost $30 anytime soon, so I guess he's lost anyway.
This was an example when the price of the hardware was limiting, not the iTS incompatibility.

Like a bunch of the posters already, I was in the second period of the day in my High School. The headmaster came into my class and asked us to gather in the chapel with the rest of the school. I have to admit, my first reaction before I knew anything about the trajedy was, "Sweet, no more Latin today."
It was pretty scary actually since my school was about 100 yards from the National Cathedral in Washington DC and there was some concern among the administrators that it might be a target. I ended up walking the three miles home with my mom who had to walk the whole way home from her work since the city was basically shut down.
I remember in the weeks after that every plane I saw descending toward National Airport looked like it was coming in too fast and too low to be normal.

This is the vulnerability those security pundits have been warning was coming.
What would I rather do: Hack into Apple's servers to implement a legally very dubious unlocking service for $170 (which is obviously highly overpriced, because Apple could do the same thing for free if they wanted to) that might open me up to litigation from Apple, or create a website that collects $170 a shot from gullible iPhone owners, do nothing, and run with the money?

Anybody know if the new iPod search features are going to work for existing iPods? So far I can't find it on my 60G that I just also updated...

Seriously, all you folks who are saying this and that about the bezel control (i.e. Every time I touch it I'll adjust the volume, or change my ringtone... blah, blah...), do you really think Apple would release it's "next big thing" without making sure it worked perfectly, intuitively, and didn't just go completely haywire every time you touch it or bump it?
For crying out loud, the company's future depends in no small part on the iPod, I'm fairly certain Apple's going to make sure each successive iPod is as innovative and market-dominating as the rest of the line has been. THat includes ease-of-use.
Have a little faith, here. You see one patent filing and freak out. Sheesh.

If people are still purchasing the existing displays I don't see much motivation in rolling out new ones.
well I'm holding the purchase of a MacPro for a while because I would like the newest monitor with it. I'm sure there are others that do not want to buy ...

I noticed in the linked document that Xray tools could be written "using the D programming language." I wonder if this is the first sign of Apple finally deciding to come up with a replacement for Objective-C. D is certainly a very nice looking language and, along with LLVM, would allow Apple to have something that looks like it could one day be on par with the excellent C#.
For more on D see http://www.digitalmars.com/d/

If the majority of this forum (not adressing or insulting you) would take of their Apple glasses, they would see the reality or at least the potential of the Windows Phone. I love my mac, but I am not biased to some cult.
Pot meet kettle.
We can summarize your post simply as "I own a WP7 device and I love it." (which is great) The rest of it seems to be of the same ilk which criticize others.

And what's with this paying for incoming minutes thing? The payment should be the responsibility of the person doing the calling. At least, that's how it seems to work over here.
Seems to work like that in Europe, i guess. If I call someone in France for instance, then they have to pay at least some of the incoming call.
In the UK the caller pays for the call which seems the sensible way of doing things.
I do get dropped calls, here, though, but's that's 'cause I use a cheap-ass Pay as you go card with Virgin, who piggy-back on to other networks, it sems. But not often, it has to be said.

In my experience, I have found this works best.
1. Put tape on the top corners so you have something to grab.
2. Tape the corners to the back of the phone/ipad
3. Grab the other end and pull tight
4. With a ruler slowly start at the top and press downward to apply the screen protector on the device evenly
5. Using the ruler again, work the bubbles out from top to bottom

Another shameful twisting of the facts by 5p.
By the way, the bulk of billy's money is now the property of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. They do have some control over it but it's no longer his and in a way, is a "National Resource".
All rights are irrevocably connected to responsibilities. Why is that so difficult for libertarians to understand?
He has this extreme right view he sees the world through. Warps reality and all context.

Well, sleeping it should be better than keeping it running because only the RAM will be powered when sleeping. When the parts are not powered, the risk of failure is smaller. In the end, all electronics have a limited lifespan. Of course, if you have a reason to leave it running then it is different (e.g. downloading something).
Personally, my iMac is always on when I am at home and awake. When I leave home or go to sleep, I sleep my iMac. Same goes for my MBA but it is sleeping unless I'm using it.
