I won't be able to get down there until about 3pm, any idea on stock available from Apple? I would rather not make the trip if there is absolutely no chance :(

ok, but you do realize its "iPod", and not "IPod"; right?
I think in an ad trying to be consistent with apples designs should at least be capitalized properly.
I was trying to keep mine distanced from the official versions - so comics sans and the 'IPod' are my own quirks.

I'm an Apple fan through and through, but are you guys listening to yourselves?
It's fine when DVD John breaks Macrovision, but not ok when he messes with DRM?
Who's messing with the consumer more? A movie studio that offers you a phsyicaly DVD they have to package and distribute full of extras (sometimes more than one disc) for, like, $14.99? Or a record company teaming with Apple to charge $0.99 for intellectual property packed in ones and zeroes?
(If ever there were a less-of-two-evils situation, this is it!).
In any case, I think it's wrong and actually don't like seeing this happen to Apple, but I think it's just as wrong as messing with DVDs or or any other's companies products. They have a right to offer their produts with whatever protection they wish and lock out competitors, and if consumers don't like it, they shouldn't buy it.
As for the whole "how much does the iTunes make for Apple" debate, I think the person who calculated $1.5 million a year was way under. He assumed .5 cents per track, but I believe it's more like 2 or 3 cents per track Apple makes. Plus, saying $1.5 million is just a fraction of Apple's profit is a lame argument. How much do you think boxed copies iWork contributed to Apple's bottom line in '05? Less than that, I bet. Or how about the Mighty Mouse? Any one SKU in Apple's lineup isn't going to amount to much - when added together, it's what gives them their incredible sales figures.

Ah. Sorry, I misunderstood.
I'd say don't bother with VPC at all. But at least you have the option of using the Mac, then deciding later as well.

I wonder how these companies got access to Apple's database. Why doesn't Apple keep better watch on it? And couldn't Apple just find out who's been accessing the database, and not allow connections from that source anymore? This all seems shady to me.
Most likely they didn't, and there is no DB breach. Numerous foreign carriers will unlock iPhones they sell to comply with local laws or to please their customers. They are probably going through one or more legit foreign carriers.

i'm in the process of setting up a website for a client which will be offering paid services (fitness related) through their website, and would like some advice on what would be the best, and possibly cheapest way (for the client) to do this in order to accept payments for different services.
should i use a shopping cart based system? would they need some special certificate/license to accept credit cards?
paypal or google checkout?
i also need it to send some kind of a receipt to the customer which would give a very detailed description of what they're getting, how much it costs, etc. i've browsed around through different sites and found one that utilized paypal where it had a drop down menu where you could pick one option and then you could click pay now button, and it would allow you to pay for that. is the drop down menu something that's generated in paypal itself?
also looking for some way to implement an agreement checkbox, so that when a user clicks the agree to terms checkbox, they can then press submit button to accept the terms of service, etc.
sorry i'm being vague, because i'm still not 100% sure of how i'll be doing this myself.

The latest version you can get from iTunes is 3.1.3 which does support the App Store. Not sure why its saying its the most current release though, because anything 1.x is soooo old. I don't even think you have email on that.

Then, is there a program somewhere that while running would prevent the computer from going to sleep (rather than a standard configuration page)?

Anyone know if the UM computer showcase will have it on launch day? I like the apple store, but not enough to drop an extra $50. Yes, I'm a student.
If you go to the site it says shiping on the 26th eta on the 1st. I guess I will be ordering from there for 69.

Although the original site seems to have gone, thanks to the magic of The WayBack machine, this collection should provide what you want - including some long lost System 6 sounds:

I'm hoping for a new, thinner, LED-backlit ACD with Ir and iSight, and HDMI...which I'm also hoping will be an option on the next-gen Mac Pro...which I'm hoping will be smaller (at least around the size of my trusty Quicksilver). I will then gladly purchase both.
That's a lot of hoping. Too much to ask for? Apple, are you listening? :-)
Oh, and WWDC sounds logical for this non-consumer setup to be announced.

What I like about Longhorn are the backgrounds. Deep blue with curving streaks of lighter blue. So original! :)

Basically they have copied Mac OS as usual, and as usual, have lost any elegance and subtlety to the the design in the process. Just like XP copies the colored-gel look of OS X, but takes it over the top into a multi-colored toy look with a zillion competing functional areas.
Luckily I can choose the Win95 look still.

You will have no problems then. Just swap the HDDs and you'll be good to go. You can take the memory too if you have a 1gb stick in the 12" if the 15" isn't already upraded to 2gb.
Just a word of caution, removing the hard drives from the 12" PB can be a PITA. It's cake on the 15".

I think that's pretty normal. Apps just start to use more RAM the longer you keep them up, whether or not people admit it.
For example, after Safari is open for a couple weeks, it uses much more RAM. Of course a large part of that is me having 52 tabs open, but I notice that while Safari uses 1.66 GB now, restarting Safari completely (and restoring all of my tabs via the extension Glims), uses 1.01 GB of RAM. Clearly, having Safari open causes an accumulation of RAM. I don't know if this is because browsing various sites causes those sites to be stored in RAM at all (I always thought they were just stored in the cache however).
I've noticed this with other programs too, like iTunes and iChat. Opening iChat can use maybe 60MB and it can rise to 100MB. iTunes can rise from 60-70MB to around 100-130MB.
I don't notice a slowdown really, but that is because I have 8GB of RAM. Nevertheless, if the RAM usage is important to you, you can use some apps over others. I found Adium uses consistently less RAM than iChat. You can quit out of iTunes when you aren't playing music. I'm not sure about Chrome, but maybe closing tabs will reduce the RAM occupied by that tab since Chrome sandboxes each tab. Either way, I don't know if I blame Snow Leopard. Did this happen in Leopard at all? I just figure it's because of lazy application developers who use the wealth of RAM available on computers today to be lazy with optimizing performance and resource intensiveness.

It wont make a difference to from MP3 to AIFF.
To me it sounds like you have some custom equalizer setting in iTunes to boost the bass because afaik it's a straight conversion that Garageband does, ie. what is in the MP3 file gets converted to AIFF. But if you want you can open the MP3 file in Audacity and export it as AIFF and see if there's any difference.

I'd like to read that if anyone can find it.
Ya some guys brought a big party tent and had two projectors in it. One had XBOX 360 and the other Sportscenter. They also brought a barbecue and made everyone pork and bacon and other stuff. They were awesome.
I'm guessing you didn't get an iPad that day, correct?
I did get one! I was one of the last people. Maybe 50 people behind me by the time I got up there.
I got the Black 32GB Wifi. They ran out of about half the models by the time I got there. This model was my seconds choice, but it's an upgrade from the 16GB Black Wifi model that I was planning to get :D

i was wondering why there wasn't any particular 9/11 thread. i only actually realised what date it was a few mins ago..
on the day..i was in school - we started our lesson at 2.40 - the teacher came in and explained what had happened. i think after a while most staff realised nobody was going to do any work so they shuffled us all (everyone aged 13-18, so around 800 of us) into the main hall and hooked up a projector to the tv.
i remember everything like it was just yesterday. everyone trying to look for an excuse to get off school the next day.. :rolleyes:
one thing that's always really bad with events like this is the uncertainty. nobody ever really has the facts at the start (even the news channels) so your imagination runs kinda wild..
