Have you given much thought to creating sub-forums for unannounced products like the iPhone 5 or iPad2? That would keep the long list of nearly identical speculation threads from clogging up the main forums.

$350 for a casual agreement between friends is just too high.
$50 and a dinner out.

I read an article that said that Intel chips are more likely to attract hackers, because in order for the chips to work properly, Mac have to recode the OS therefore causing a loop hole which hackers can use - Only something I read but if its true, who knows?

Alternatively, you could create a third partition on your laptop and format it as FAT32 or exFAT and keep all of your data on there so both Windows and Mac and read & write the files.

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.
Most (if not all) new cell phones in America have built in GPS as a result of an FCC mandate for Enhanced 9-1-1 capability in mobile devices. Apple may simply be taking this required expense and turning it into a way to get more value in their device by linking it with a built in camera/iPhoto/GoogleMaps. This certainly seems like one of those "why didn't anyone else do that?" sort of (in retrospect) obvious moves that Apple is great at.
But the fact remains, most new cell phones in the U.S. at least already have GPS built in so the location of the phone can be tracked by emergency responders. It's hardly something new being developed by Apple that will make the iPhone any more subject to governmental data-mining abuse than any other mobile phone.

Totally
Can't even browse the web with it. Or listen to music. Or use 1000's of apps. Or look at videos / pictures/ books.
But you can play dodgy emulated games that crash within two minutes, run more than one process at a time causing out of memory error messages. Play divx movies that work at less than 10fps. Overheat your battery by making a wifi hotspot.

Well, I don't have a removal story to relate, but I do have a large (probably about 4 inches long by 1 inch wide) black tattoo on my ankle that I desperately want to rid myself of. I definitely plan to have it removed at some point in my life, but I simply can't afford it right now. I'm hoping the treatments will become less expensive and more effective in the future.
So, jywv8, your story leads me to believe that my worst fears are true.... that tattoo removal is ultra-expensive and takes a long time. Is it painful too?
Anyway, good luck with the whole thing. I checked out a couple of sites on laser removal, and it honestly made me jealous to see those tattoos disappear like that! I'd give anything to just make mine go away!! Isn't it funny how stupid decisions you make when you're 17 can affect you the rest of your life?? :)

I'm surprised at you kavika.I'm surprised at your failure to detect kavika's brand of heavy-handed sarcasm.
Seriously? Even a child knows that if they have $10, a bully takes $5, but then returns $1, that the bully didn't GIVE them anything, but rather TOOK $4 instead of $5. Saying things like the government is 'giving people tax relief' is backwards thinking.Giving relief from taxes is not the same as stealing money. Without taxes, your country would not function, either for rich or poor. The money has to come from somewhere, and it makes a great deal more sense for more of it to come from those who can afford it at the expense of a few unnecessary luxuries than from those who need it to pay for their necessities. Without the infrastructure funded by taxation, only warlords would be able to keep hold of their money. Are you so keen to emulate Somalia?
And if that mobjority decides that they want to take all the wealth of a certain group of people, that's their right to do? Since they have a majority? It's pretty easy to get support from a majority of people to take other people's money and distribute it to them. It's just not moral. Your position is that individuals have zero moral, legal, or otherwise claim to the wealth that they themselves work for/earn?Needless to say, that is not his position, or anyone's. You have produced an absurd strawman argument, as is your wont.
As evidence that some rich people didn't earn their wealth, you just referenced Enron that went bankrupt, Madoff who went to prison, and the Banks who we bailed out... and would have otherwise gone bankrupt. So, essentially three examples where the free market either did or would have (without government intervention) correctly punished bad businesses. Odd choice.You seem unable to differentiate between bad businesses and the huge bonuses and salaries paid by them.
Hardly. All I'm trying to do is better understand your position.No, you are not. You are trying to utterly mischaracterise his position. Please don't be so transparently disingenuous. You cannot possibly be so stupid as to think that is anybody's real position.

I have it working on Time Warner. Slow on 3G but it works
The cablevision app freezes from time to time over 3G. It's better over wifi.

I purchased the new iMac launched this week and it has a custom OSX build 10.6 that will not update to 10.6.7 and I am unable to launch my Steam copy of Portal 2 because Steam prevents the game from launching and an alert box appears saying Portal 2 requires 10.6.7. Anyone got a fix? (tried the combo update, won't install)

I've got about 2 hours to decide yay or nay if I want next day delivery of a new Macbook.
Here is my situation.....
I have a white Macbook from around 2009. The model appears to be called Macbook 4, 1. It works perfectly OK but the battery life is rubbish. Even on my brand new battery it only lasts 3 hours. For work reasons I need to start using my Macbook on trips and away from the house and I need something therefore with a substantial battery life.
I know a lot of people prefer the Macbook Pro but I really enjoy the clean white look of the Macbook. And so I have my eye on the 2010 Macbook. I've found a brand new one for �720.
My requirements for a laptop are:
that is portable/relatively light
All I will run on it are Word, Scrivener, email, internet etc
Decent keyboard
Great battery life
Do you think it's worth me buying the 2010 Macbook? And do you think �720 is a reasonable price for it?
Thanks so much!

Instead of having an AT&T/Rogers/Fido/O2/Verizon/etc... subforum, why not have two separate subforums. One for GSM, one for CDMA.
Exactly. I bet lots of n00bs are going to ask about unlock.

I use MacBiff (http://www.forkit.org/macbiff/) for that purpose. It just sits in the menubar, and when I've got some mail, beeps and shows the number of new emails. Although you have to enter in your email server information, it doesn't get it from Mail.app, but it does support IMAP and POP, SSL, and multiple accounts.

Thanks. I was was confused by the number of postings on the internet I saw which kept referring to folks saying they're using launchd now since "there is no xinetd in SL anymore" and so on. I assumed that meant it had been taken out entirely and replaced with launchd.
I'm still not entirely sure the PDF isn't wrong, though. It mentions FTP and Finger specifically as two services that use xinetd, which means they should have entries in /etc/xinetd.conf and/or /etc/xinetd.d/<service>, right? Only my 10.6 workstation has nothing like that. I do, however, have .plist files for both of those in System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ - unless the server is using xinetd while my desktop is using launchd, but that doesn't seem right. :confused:

That would be nice, but it won't work, since people don't read instructions and continually post in the wrong forums, anyway. We could already fill a forum for speculations on the next MacBook/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air/iMac/Mac Mini/Mac Pro updates.
I agree. Every product would need their own speculation forum too or it would be a mess (and couldn't exclude the posts in Forum Spy). Mods are already have enough work with moving the current threads.
Trying to keep the discussion in one thread has been tried millions of times but it never works either.
