Finder:
- Have an address bar so I can copy and paste file locations. Really useful to a developer, especially with working between the Finder and Terminal.
- Have a way of seeing how much disk space directories and their children take up, both with number sizes and graphically.
- Stop freaking putting every downloaded file in the bottom right of my Desktop, on top of the last downloaded file. Put the icon anywhere else on the free half of my Desktop.
- If I empty the trash, I expect to see that volume's space taken or available value update right away for its icon, on the Desktop.
- Tabbed Finder windows?
1. Meh
2. I want that one!
3. I like stuff downloading onto the desktop
4. Oh god yes! Its so annoying now.
Also, I want FULL FTP support.

Actually, I don't believe the built-in flash went off on the mall's camera. Yes, if they had used one, then this wouldn't be a thread topic.
I agree, though, that the shadows on my son's face is rather prohibiting of doing anything with it.

I always find it funny that so many people consider their type of work to be the only "real" work that exists. My work, which is extremely real, can be completed just fine on an 11" Air. Or an iPad with a BT keyboard for that matter.
I do not disagree with you. I should have said for "my real work". Obviously there are activities that require mobile computing and can be handled by a phone, tablet, netbook etc. just fine.

I've always wanted to know what people here are doing with their old Macs when they aren't used as primary computers anymore. I know a ton of PPCs go to work as a secondary computer, but what about those that go to serve another purpose?
I've been particularly interested in iMac G4 mods, but as of late, I'm wondering what others are doing with all of their old computers. Any really cool mods, or ideas out there? I think this would be a good place to share the stories.
There are many who want to give their PPC Mac the Intel upgrade, but I'm particularly interested in seeing all those Macs that have gone on to live totally different lives. Let's hear it!

If there are manageable blocks, perhaps you should just use a regular expression to match/remove them. Or are you looking for more complex alterations?

Since you are looking for internships, so presumably do not have much experience, this might work for you. But as someone who has been given the tasks of screening resumes and interviews, I will warn you that if your resume does not express true knowledge of the topics you are presenting in a resume, then you would never make it past my first read. And there is little chance that a generic resume writer is going to be able to write something that I would be interested in.
But this all depends on who you are writing the resume for. In some instances you are really writing to make it though HR, because the next layer of interviewers/reviewers is only going to be handed that resume 5 minutes before their session with you (or maybe they only read it then...). In that case then a professional resume writer might be a real boon.
That being said, the opposite is also true: I have seen some resumes that desperately needed an editor to go through and re-do them, for: typeos (this is a first-impression situation), content, or just awful style (my first couple of resumes probably fall into this bin).

I used these guys for a professional resume (VP level) a few years ago. They do technical resumes as well. As I recall, they will do a re-write within 60 days if it's not working out for you.

Bad RAM. I've had it happen with numerous computers, which is why I paid more for the 8 GB of RAM from Apple, given they can test it prior to shipping. My memory from Apple is Samsung, which I have used a lot without issue. I don't know much about Corsair's memory, so I cannot say anything regarding their product, but I have always used Crucial with good results, and it is a favorite here.

Well guys, I jut got off tech support to told me they really don't support Macs and I asked him then why did the box say supports MacOX10.3, .4, and .5? The tech support guy did tell me to go to my Network System Prefs where I have a USB Ethernet (indicating the wireless adapter) that says "connected" and the Rosewill Utility that came with this unit shows me connected to my local network.
Somewhere there is a broken link between my Mac hardware and this wireless adapter. Anyone have an idea of what it could be? In Network Prefs I've tried using both DHCP and Manual IP, but neither have worked.
Thanks!

Hi
Don't know if this will be of help but I spent ages looking for a way to add subtitles to iTunes content that my deaf family members buy.
I open the movie file up in subler, the file opens fine but you can't access the movie or audio parts as they are protected but you can add a .srt file into the file.
It only takes a couple of seconds and allows them to view subtitles in iTunes but it does however make the file unplayable in QuickTime x for some reason.

Anyone who for some reason doesn't understand resolution independence just needs to know one thing: there isn't a downside. Don't worry about it. A lot of computer games are resolution independent these days (including the UI) and nobody freaks out about that, eh?

I would imagine that the internet will present it's share of problems. Having the OS scale won't solve the problem of everything on the internet being 72 dpi. Yes, we can scale the text, but I'd imagine it will still be a huge mess once they start cranking up DPIs on the monitors.

The simple answer is dont use photoshop Im afraid! It does a really poor job of consistent spacing and cornering.
You'd be far better using illustrator for this, or InDesign/QuarkXPress will manage clean and precise dotted/dashed lines too.
If you don't have access to those, and you must use PS, the only options you have is to play with the spacing under "Brush Tip Shape" in the big Brushes Palette, and you could also tweak the Angle Jitter setting under Shape Dynamics.
"Direction" will cause the orientation of the brushtip shape to follow the direction of the line you'rre drawing or the path you're stroking.
Good luck!

Witopia is great, servers in many countries, OpenVPN or PPTP (OpenVPN much better, although PPTP works easier on iPhone), good pricing, and awesome support....

They got their value out of Connectix in Virtual Server. Like it or not the Mac stuff was just the tip of the iceberg.
Also, Microsoft made its money not through Virtual PC, but through the Windows license that you had to buy with it. If you buy Parallels, or use Bootcamp, Microsoft loses a few dollars from the Virtual PC sale, but they still get a big chunk of money for the Windows license. I would say 75% of their revenue and 100% of their profit stay intact.

Sad news, :(
He was a talented and very original bass player.
The "Gentlemen Take Polaroids" album is probably his (and japan's) best work in my non expert opinion, that and the "After a fashion track" he did with Midge Ure, got that on 12" somewhere
Tin Drum will always be my favorite, along with Rain Tree Crow.

am i the only one a little disappointed at the Apple announcements?
Here's why:
1- only 1 studio signed on for movies, they are purchases, not rentals also.
This is to be expected. Once these take off like wildfire, other studios will fall in line when the realize how much money they're losing. There is precedent for this with Apple's music purchases, so it make sense.
2- ipod changes are not dramatic, more like minor tweaks. Ipod nano even is using an older case design. video ipod is a serious letdown, looks like they can't get the 16:9 model working.
I disagree here. While I think the iPod Nano design is less sexy than before, it's also 1000% less scratchable. While it doesn't bother me much, my black Nano looks more beat up than either of my mini's.
As for the "true video iPod"-- this is Apple waiting to strike until the iron is hot. You can't release all your hot stuff in one go. They have to let it trickle out to maintain momentum. iTV was a good pre-release product and the regular iPods added searching and games that are a VERY NICE new feature.
3- no ipod/smartphone/treo type device.
... nor did anyone think one of these was coming. Maybe an iPhone, but that is clearly not coming until 2007 the last I heard. A lot of people wanted to believe it might come out earlier, but that was just unrealistic.
it is like apple knew they didnt have great announcements so they announced the Itv device.
Well, that is an interesting take on it. You might have something there. However, this was an important thing to pre-announce given the movie announcement. Apple needs people who are purchasing movies to know they can play them on a TV in an easy way. This is buyer's security. They know if they start buying them now they will be able to play them on something other than their iPod or Mac. It also was foreshadowing concerning Apple's HD solutions. Right now you can buy movies and shows in ED (enhanced definition / DVD), whereas previously you could only buy in SD (standard defintion / NTSC.)
To support their movie download and playback strategy, Apple without saying it outright, admitted to having an HD solution which will work with upcoming movie downloads at native HD resolutions, using 802.11n for wireless streaming.
