Another HDD space junkie! :D I will buy 1 or 2 TB drives for the Mac Pro. However, what if I buy 1 TB drives and they puke before I fill them up?
Seriously, if you can't find a use for 1TB of space in 3 or 4 years, then you probably shouldn't be buying a MacPro.
Most photography apps don't need lots of cores (they just don't use them). The only appeal of a MacPro to a photographer is the expandability - lots of drives, interchangeable graphics cards. If you don't need the expandability, iMacs are much much better value machines.
If you're seriously worried about saving $30 by buying a slower 500GB drive instead of a faster 1TB drive, you're definitely wasting cash spending $3000 on a MacPro.
I am not being a smart @@S, just asking a legitimate question, as that scenario is my only concern. Also, thanks for clarifying that RAID is not for backup. my good friend uses RAID to backup, but he never writes to his drives, only reads. They are for storing tons of movies and games.
Is that right? How did the data get on to the RAID in the first place?
If your friend only has one copy of his files (on the RAID) then he doesn't have a backup. Backup = an alternate copy.
Not writing to that RAID doesn't make it magically safer... Your friend should get a backup if he's smart and he values his data.
Off-site storage is a big deal with photographers and I understand the benefits, but I never would have added 1+1. LOL
Not so funny when a thief breaks into your house and steals your Mac and the backup drive sat on the table next to it. Proper backups aren't just for professionals - they're for anyone who actually cares about keeping their data.
For someone with a $3000 Mac, a couple of hundred $ to buy enough disks to keep offsite copies is nothing.
I am still thinking about my backup plan, but I have plenty of options thanks to the photographer community! As I stated in my last reply, I will clear my mind this weekend and in all likelihood, order a new Mac Pro 8 core soon.
Sounds like you should be looking at an iMac.

Take through view finder = fast
Take picture while looking at LCD = slow
This. Reason #435,681 why live view should not be on an SLR.

i believe /system/library/CoreServices/Springboard.app/N81AP.plist
make sure its N81AP, not N18AP. look for the device name string.
I checked that file and I can't find any device name strings. I'm using a 4g 32GB btw.
I've tried looking around and can't find what file to edit. :confused:

I don't think so--the guide is copyright by Macrumors, but according to this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights#Users.27_rights_and_obligations), you must make the text available under the same terms as the GFDL.
IMO, we should simply make our page refer/link to theirs except for stuff that is uniquely suited for our pages. There's no point in copying text. In addition to possible copyright issues, it means we may get out of sync with them as the topic evolves (e.g. as new PowerPC chips come out.)
IMO, our page should focus on Apple's use of the chip in Macs and simply link to the Wikipedia itself for information about the chip itself.

No! I'll look that up.
I think all the tracks on the 12" I bought are also found on Karn's "Dreams of Reason Produce Monsters" album. I'll have to dig my CDs out of deep storage and double check.

Apologies to all, didn't know multiple folks were still working on it.
This is good news...
By the time it's jailbroken it'll be time for iOS 5 and everyone will want that. I hope I'm wrong. I returned my iPad 2 after waiting a month for jailbreak. My opinion is we won't see a JB anytime soon, but I hope I'm wrong. I switched from iPhone to Android Phone, and haven't looked back. I can't use an iOS device anymore without jailbreak, so I really hope the JB for iPad comes out before the Samsung tablet this summer, otherwise I think I'm done with iPad for good... seems to be a growing bit of contention with iPad owners. Here's hoping for a quick JB

I'm thinking a January release to compete with Vista. I wouldn't mind if they delayed until March to cram more features in, but at that point there's little they can do. Otherwise the Vista vs. reviews will be vs. Tiger not Leopard which will mean that Apple won't look like the innovator that it is. I suspect a free "10.6" may come in about a year with more business (and other) features to compete with SP1 (when they start buying Vista.)

Hello! I would really appreciate any help.
First of all, I was stupid and actually paid �50 for this (http://www.iphoneunlockuk.com/), which they won't refund me despite it not working. I feel like an idiot but I'm used to Android and didn't feel confident. The software is legit, however.
I am trying to unlock a 3GS from Vodafone. I shelled out for the above. I've done everything right so far, downloaded all I needed. It's on 4.3.2 and I need to get the iPad baseband. So I click install Cydia and prepare for unlock.
I launched iUnlocked, got the firmware, did the power button home button thing. A window comes up saying, "Fetching iPad baseband, please be patient". That stays up for about 3 minutes then disappears. After that, nothing happens. I have tried this multiple times now, including restoring my iPhone and trying it. After every time I try, I can only get it to boot when I reset. I've watched and read tutorials so know what's supposed to happen, but it never does.
Can someone help me? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.

I don't even notice the rating, and on the rare chance I do, the negative/positive rating has no bearing on the content of the thread, so in the end I ignore it.
I guess what I'm saying is, that rating doesn't really provide any benefit.

Here's a little criticism for the designers or whomever.
I think the logo and title in the upper left corner could use a different treatment... something more dynamic and interesting. How about if the logo was larger, tilted a couple degrees counter-clockwise, and somewhat cropped at the bottom and top. The title could use some work too.
Does Anyone know what typeface the MR title is set in?
