Hey all, I currently live in Japan, and would like to get some experiences working at Apple. I haven't decided which floor I would like to work at, but it will most likely be the Genius Bar.
Now, to get in to my main point, is it possible to work at the Apple Store under the age of 18? I have no idea about the labor laws, work permit, and things like that, but I just to make sure. I saw on other thread that in state of Nevada, a person should be above the age of 16 to get a job.
BTW, I'm 17 currently.

Why are lots of other tablets and smartphones described as "iPhone/iPad" killers. It makes it seem like it was made just to compete with Apple's products ... I mean, you never hear Apple's products being called Xoom killers or Galaxy Tab killers, do you?

I've got this one from Amazon. $20. Mine is clear, so from afar you can't even tell the Air has a shell case until you get a bit closer. Also adds very minimal weight/bulk to the Air (looks very similar to the Speck case you linked to).

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.

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.

Well, I used disk utilities and it won't find hard drive. No where in the system it shows the hard drive. I'm going to use an install disc and see if it finds it.
If I reformat drive with MacDrive, will it be easier???
You can format it with mac drive is all else fails. Also make sure its connected correctly (Master. Slave, etc.)

What is needed is a MacBoook Air with just 400 to 600 g and as small as possible (7-inch) with video out and USB ports. The Mac in your pocket!

Airport Express is GREAT! You will love it!
Of the four people I've helped / convinced to switch - three of them HAD to buy an Airport Express. Sure there are lots of wireless routers out there... but AirTunes is just cool.
Yea it is. I have it in my college dorm room which is a suite with 2 rooms and a living room. All my roomates and I can be sitting on the couch in the living room, online, playing music on my speakers, and printing...

I might actually go to the 2100 best buy because of points and I can put it on my card. Hopefully they will have it in white! I don't think I can camp out, so I will be there in the morning to see how the line goes.
I wonder if other retailers like Best Buy or Wal-Mart will start selling them early or at normal time instead of 5:00 PM?

^^It's bit unclear to me who the third member would be,China and the U.S. sure,as far as I know the Russian Federation is a signatory.India of course is agin it but is only a temporary member.
( on further investigation it appears they haven't fully ratified it yet due to problems with their constitution they are however working towards full ratification.30 odd countries have signed but not ratified)

Technically I switched 18 months ago when I bought my iBook, but with my new 1GHz iMac now sat proudly where my PC has been for the last 4 years, only now do I feel as though the process is complete!
3 years ago now, The Creative Director at the Design agecny I worked for was a huge mac-man and convinved the MD that the office needed an (original) iMac to be used as an ISDN machine so as to free up his G4. In a move totally unlike the MD he plumped for exactly the right model and soon after a new iMac DV was sat next to the G4. Now, I'd used Macs before and altough I had no problems with them, had never seen what they could do over PCs. Then I saw iMovie! I was instantly hooked - I'd done a media degree and alot of my work involved video editting on the studios Broadcast suite, and iMovie just blew everything else away in terms of its fun-factor and ease-of-use. My own DV-camcorder never wanted to talk to my PC/Firewire card and after 30 minutes of tweaks/resets and restarts i was luck to have captured 30 seconds of footage. As an experiment I took the cam into work one day, not holding out much hope of success as it wasnt on iMovie's compatible list. Needless to say, within 20 seconds iMac and camcroder were talking in perfect harmony!
A few months later and OS X arrived and I finally new I had to get me one of these things. the first Tibooks were stunning but far too expensive and the iBooks at that time just looked like toys to me. When the Snow iBooks rrived in mid 2001 I knew I had to have one and after a month or so of justifying the purchase, I bit the bullet and a few weeks later it turned up on my doorstep. I got a phone-call at work telling me it had arrived and couldnt wait to get home, but the others in the office were even more impatient and I drove home to pick it up!
18 months laters and my little iBook is still going strong, and now it's joined by the 1GHz iMac. My first desktop Mac replacing what will probably turn out to be my first (and last) personal PC.
Having read alot of the threads about the new iMacs on here I was a little sceptical at first as to whether or not it was the machine for me, but having used it for a few days all I can say is that it is the most stunning machine I've ever used. Even with only the stock 256mb RAM on-board (more in the post!) the whole system is responsive and speedy even when running Photoshop, Director, Flash, Word and Safari, Yahoo IM and iTunes at the same time (as I am now!). iMovie 3 runs just as well as iMovie 2 used to on my iBook and iDVD 3 is just looking so cool it's untrue! And the screen!!!? I remember pushing those things around in stores thinking "thats very clever, really smooth" but its only having worked with it properly that I realise just how awesome it is being able to move the screen around, rather than me!
I used to think my old Creative Director was a little mad for his almost hysterical PC bashing, now I know couldn't agree with him more!
...and to finish off, well...as they say, a picture speaks 1000 words...

You don't check the dev team's web site for JB info?
Also, whenever Apple comes out with a new version, it voids the reminder check box. Feel free to tell it to stop reminding you.
You can check a box to have it stop reminding you, but I leave it unchecked so that it reminds me I gotta keep an eye out (basically here) for a new JB.

I would suggest looking into getting a SSD and maybe maxing the ram at 8GB. That would take care of your lag issues. Unless your looking at getting into serious gaming and then you may consider the newer laptop... Personally I would say invest in the Ram and SSD and save the rest of the money.

Website for that tuner/specs on it? Interested for a MCE box if you happen to sell it. ;)
Well the TV tuner will do it's job, unfortunetly I never go it to work, I believe it was because my graphics card was using DirectX 9 and the TV tuner didn't like it or something :confused: I don't think that Windows Media Center Edition would even support it, I wouldn't know since I don't have it. The PCI card originally came with a remote control but, I bought it used so I didn't get one :rolleyes: Its an AverMedia Studio TV....or was it TVStudio?
Well I can't find it on the official site anymore, they re-did their "brilliant" site over again. To be honest it's not the best card, and I don't know if it would be the best for what you need it for. :p

Do you have more than 1Tb of stuff that needs to be on an internal drive?
And from what I have read -- the SSD needs special parts. No DIY.

Good for you. There are those of us with passports who travel internationally. There is no way in hell I'm paying AT&T's ridiculous international roaming rates.

I got it from the Fantasy Factory event that Rob Dyrdek hosted on Thursday. No I did not go myself :( but I have a friend that went and he said they had lots of copies for everyone that attended. I tried all week to get me a early copy but no luck.
Any of you get a copy early and want to play? And if you did get it early, how? Maybe others wanna get it early
