If this is true I am going to do something I've never done before, and skip an iPhone version.

Competition regulation in many EU countries require apple (or providers) to unlock any handsent with some restrictions (you may have to prove you've waited a certain time, or you are required to pay a fee etc), but I know that in France for example the provider that sells the iPhone there is required to unlock any handsent provided it was sold at least 6 months ago, for a 100 euros. Even if it wasn't bought/sold in France.
Some countries like Belgium don't even allow sim locked phones (or used to not allow) and some carriers sell them with out sim lock by choice in others, like Slovakia, and then some other countries I think can only unlock phones that are locked to a certain providers network, like Hungary T and Voda I think can only unlock T and Voda iPhones respectively, but perhaps phones bought on other networks (Ie T-mobile Germany, or Voda UK or New Zealand or whatever) some of these services maybe taking advantage of these work arounds. If this is the case, these unlocks are legal and Apple has no legal way of relocking these phones. IE in france they HAVE to unlock your phone even if it is ATT... or one would think so logically. Although this info maybe off, but it was definatley the case during iPhone 3g sales...
Are you sure that's correct? So you're saying if I go to France with my locked AT&T iPhone 4, the carriers there will have to unlock it for me if I ask? I actually just asked this question in another thread and I'm getting mixed responses: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=12393503

Its all about convergence.
If your on the go then its more convenient to play games on a smartphone - one device than carry around two.
At the moment - drawbacks over portable gaming consoles - (1) battery life (2) games on smartphones tend to have a lot less content.. but smartphone games tend to be signficantly cheaper. If you want a game containing depth then your not going to be looking at your smartphone at the moment.
In some countries its totally fine to watch TV on your smartphone too...

I have a 2009 Mac Mini. I recently upgraded the RAM, and while I was working in the Mini, the Bluetooth antenna cable became detached. I've tried to reconnect it, but the Bluetooth no longer works in the device. This is the extent of my knowledge of the problem.
Unfortunately, the warranty expired a few weeks ago, and regardless of that, I'm the one who hosed it so it's my burden to bear.
One local Mac repair shop here in Austin quoted me "about" $40 plus parts (if necessary) to repair it.
Is that about right? Any former geniuses here know about how much Apple would charge for this out-of-warranty fix?
I will call Apple -- but I want to be prepared, which is why I'm polling this trusted community.

Hi everyone - being a newbie the following:
Just installed a bigger and faster new HD in the mini - is there any way to start the OS installation without a wired keybd? (i.e pressing 'c' ) all I get now is some DVD churning sounds and a grey screen telling me to restart the machine.
If there is no way - how would I go about ejecting the darned DVD out of the mini without taking everything apart?
hoping for some good answers.
If you have an unformated hard drive in there then the Mini should automatically boot from the DVD, no key press required. The Mini should look for any available bootable OS's on startup and lacking it's default, choose one.
Are you getting a Kernel Panic screen on boot? A gray screen telling you to restart your computer by pressing the power button in multiple languages? If so then something is amiss, because unless something has changed in the last few years, without a bootable OS the mini should just flash a circle with a line through it (no idea what the symbol is called, but like a No Smoking sign without a cigarette in it).
Are you trying to start up from the Restore DVD that came with the Mini or a retail Snow Leopard DVD?

Hello... First Post... Its a little long winded but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have a dedicated Power Mac G4 2001/2002 (733mhz 1.5GB Ram single processor) linked up to a specialist large format scanner. The G4 operates solely on OS9.2 as the large format scanners software can only work on OS9.2, but this G4 is starting to struggle, possible capacitor issues. I do not have the scanning software discs so am unable to install them onto another computer, and without this software and OS9.2 I would be unable to use my scanner, massive knightmare that I really want to avoid. Ideally I need to try and clone this G4 onto another G4. I have recently obtained a second Power Mac G4 (733mhz 1.5Gb single processor) but it is operating on OSX and does not have OS9 installed on it.
Q: Is it possible to clone my current Power Mac G4 (the OS9.2 operating system & its specialist scanning software) and make an exact clone onto the Power Mac G4 that currently has OSX installed on it?
I have never cloned a computer before, if the above is possible, then I would so greatly appreciate any step by step instructional advice on the above.
Kind Regards,
tea & cake
:apple:
It would be much easier just to open both PowerMacs, and take the Hard Disk Drive (with OS 9.2 and all your files on it), and install it into the new PowerMac. - All it takes is a screwdriver, and its really easy in those machines :)

10GB/day bandwidth transfer for basic accounts, that's pretty impressive.
Yeah, I ended up reading a lot on their forums ,didn't know they even had a forum. It's a huge step up from the 100MB :D
Hopefully Dropbox is cool with me doing this.

You will be constrained by the through-put of USB with an external drive VM.
That said, you could put a VM instance on an external drive and run it from there.
Alternately just store the VM on the external, and move it to the SSD when you need it.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate on a 9 gig VM using 512K of memory...so you may not need as much SSD space as you think.
Of course, gaming will change this pretty fast.

That's true. But which spreadsheet user is aware of this? This should be resolved by the app, not by the user.
You are totally right. And by the way, every user should be aware that computers don't know much about numbers. ;) Computers are limited, they have a limit on the integers they can handle. So, only with integers they miss an infinite quantity of numbers. Then when you start looking at rational and irrational numbers, you realize that computers knows pretty much nothing. The actual probability to pick up any real number (rational or irrational) who exists and to have it known by the computer is 0. :eek: In other words, it's a little bit like the computer knows about the trees of one garden when you have on earth so much more trees in all the forrests. Still, computers are great tools, and help us calculate things which would take hundred of years without them. :D

I know it is jpeg data because the key in the plist is called "jpegphoto". And what I posted is just the beginning. I shortened it b/c that actual data is very long. Thanks!
It could still be JPEG data, but without the JFIF/EXIF headers or with the headers later in the stream. If so you might have trouble interpreting it without necessarily knowing the image's dimensions, etc...
Do you find 0xFFE0????4A46 anywhere in the stream?

It now redirects me to the local gizomodo.com.au version.
If I wanted to read about irrelevant local Australian stories (ie, Telstra has a new LED billboard in Melbourne, like I give a toss) I'd pick up a newpaper or visit gizmodo.com.au (which I never do), not gizmodo.com.
I really really hope this isn't the future of the internet - geographical restrictions, but it appears to be the tip of an oncoming iceberg. It's bad enough already that I now have to endure irrelevant geographical ads for Australian banks and airlines instead of topic-relevant (ie computer equipment) ads when I visit international computer sites. Now I cant even visit international computer sites?
Ditto when I do google searches now, most of the links are fairly useless local Australian ones instead of the more relevant international ones.
Is this the power of Google/advertisers now at work to change the face of the internet and rebuild borders to isolate us all again? ie, direct users to local geographical sites so as to maximize advertising dollars - ie instead of directing the ads, they are now directing the users?
PS. What happens when someone outside of Australia tries to load gizmodo.com.au, do they get diverted to their own country's site as well?

I imagine the process goes through a carrier outside of the US because many countries and carriers offer unlocks for their iPhone customers.
Ok, this makes sense. Probably $100 of your fee goes to bribing a guy who works at some small carrier store in some other country. He types in the number and gets a nice 'bonus.'

I like the mba, but they are so god awful slow. Maybe im just used to fast computers but no way i could use current gen of mba. Maybe next time but 6 year old tech is a bit to old for me.
The NVIDIA 320m isn't "6 year old tech." Nor are the Toshiba SSD, HD screen, glass trackpad, or OS X 10.6. Get past the mindset that the CPU defines the computer and you'll see that the MacBook Air is a modern device. That said, I would like to see Thunderbolt in the next revision, and undoubtedly it will get Sandy Bridge sometime this year.

@ Patrick - Answer for all your questions is YES. But it doesnt work in WebView only.
As previously suggested, maybe there's some character in the URL that WebView doesn't like. The most unusual URL I ever load is:
@"http://www.highschoolsports.net/defaultcal.cfm?ct=s&schoolid=KS6621212106&spt=4&lvl=-1&divison=-1&timeoffset=300"
which works fine.
Maybe try simpler versions of your URL, starting with something basic and working up, adding complexity until it breaks. Start with:
@"https://xxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.com/"
and see if that works.

What do you mean in a way? http://store.apple.com/ca/browse/home/shop_mac/mac_accessories/memory?mco=MTM3Njk4ODc
If i go to this site, what is my mac genration?
Yes, it means "generation", but if you have a late 2007 MB, then you don't have a "MacBook 7,1", but a MacBook 3,1, which you can find out via the way I showed you.
Thus you choose "MacBook (Generation 3) Family (http://store.apple.com/ca/memoryfamily/ME_MB_PREV_G3)".
But if you want to save some money, buy somewhere else, as Apple is quite expensive for RAM.
It is 77 USD (http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/) vs. 210 USD (http://store.apple.com/ca/memorymodel/ME_13_2_16_MB), that's a difference of 2.7.
