Every iPhone thread leaves me amazed at how complacent Americans are in accepting terrible mobile telephony. When's the last time (in Europe) that you had a "dropped call"? I had to look up the term because it meant nothing to me. If the iPhone is going to work properly, then someone needs to give assurances that your calls will actually go through. Forget about downloading songs on the go for a moment, and consider the intended purpose of a phone. If I want to make a call, it means that I need to get through and actually end up talking to someone; not that I want to try to call someone. Don't get me wrong, I'd love an iPhone. I'm just glad I live in a country where your calls go through, and stay going until you terminate it. And what's with this paying for incoming minutes thing? The payment should be the responsibility of the person doing the calling. At least, that's how it seems to work over here.

Apparently there won't be a Quicken '08 for the Mac. It has been replaced by a new app that looks pretty slick. See the link below for more info.

whoa bummer, I was looking forward to playing that when mine came in :(
Me too!
Is almost the pure purpose of me buying the high end 27"

My MBA is fine, and that certainly doesn't look right. It's still under warranty, so I'd take it into a store or contact customer services

Basically I'm wanting to know if I can buy a 27" iMac spec'd out on the CPU and GPU side. And the with the ram and hdd at the bare minimum or 4th and 1tb respectively. And then turn around, go to owc and get my ram and ssd upgrade through them and install myself.
I do consider myself adequate at performing these pc building and having experience performing such upgrades on my mbp's.
Thanks,

I have set up the MacBook of my girl friend to get remote access to my home network by a VPN connection. I did this mainly to make it possible for her to copy files from my MacPro. The VPN connection works very well but she cannot "see" my MacPro in the Finder. When she comes visiting me and logs into my network by WLAN she can see the MacPro and download files.
What is my mistake? I assumed that the MacPro treats an incoming VPN connection like another Mac which is on the network. Apparently this is wrong. What can I do to make it work as I want it to work?

thanks all. I'm aware of the apple refurbs (my mini and macbook are refurbs. its a great way to save some cash!)
Thanks for the advice all. iLife is definitely required so I think he will just go for a standard version
thanks again
I don't think it's worth it. If you're going to raid1 the drives in the server you'll only be getting 500gb of usable space (- the space used for applications and OS-X). For the $200 saved over the server edition you'd be well on your way to a Drobo style storage solution, or even cheaper, the OWC Mercury Elite dual enclosure which you could use for Raid1 storage anyway.
Unless you have to have OS-X server - save your shekels.

I don't think you need to worry about that. Serious image editors would never use a glossy screen.
Why is that? I'm just curious.

I have taken the plunge and ordered my new BTO iMac.
Specs:-
3.4GHZ Quad core i7
4 GB Ram. I have ordered 16GB from OWC
2 TB Serial ATA Drive
AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2 GB GDDR5
Wired numeric keyboard
Magic mouse
Applecare protection
Due in a couple of weeks as it's a BTO. I can't wait for the beast to arrive.
I'll post unboxing and benchmarks videos A.S.A.P.
Cheers....

no one seems to be pointing out that they got rid of educational pricing for iPods... that's a bummer.
That sucks. On the otherhand, when Apple sends my Walmart the new batch I can plop one in layway.

You have a mobile PowerMac? :eek:
What would the mobile account have to do with it? folding@home doesn't need a constant internet connection.
Nah, a mobile user account on my work machine...everything resides on my cpu..but it also backed up to a server..so i can log into any machine anywhere, log into the network and drop my user account onto that machine. IT seems that when it back up to the server is occasionally just shuts down Increase, which i haven't had a chance to fix.

There's not that many SSD's out yet that can exceed a 3.0Gb/s controller (most reach sustained sequential throughputs of ~250MB/s or so, and 3.0Gb/s is good for ~270 -275MB/s), so you don't need to panic over this.
You won't be able to do this. :(
Boot Camp doesn't work with RAID (hardware or software). So you'll have to use a single disk on the ICH (no need to run the Boot Camp utility, as it's a partition tool). The BC disk does include Windows drivers however (setup.exe), so you may need to run those, particularly for wireless drivers.
You can place the OS X disk either on the ICH or RAID card (flash the firmware, set the disk as the boot location).
The only difference between them is the amount of over-provisioning (additional capacity used for wear leveling; 7% for the Pro series, 28% for the RAID Edition series).
There doesn't seem to be any other differences (same controller and firmware timings from what I can tell). Both have been used successfully in stripe sets on both the ICH and hardware RAID cards. So if you're doing more reads than writes, the Pro series would be fine. If you're going to do a lot of writing (massive amounts of data), then the RE series may be the way to go. Another trick, is not to fill the SSD up all the way.

:( Oh well. I suppose the 6G mercury still outperforms it's 3G predecessor even on a SATA2 controller ? You reckon it's worth putting a 6G Mercury on the Areca controller where I assume it should really shine or stick both on the onboard sata2 controller and reduce complexity.
This bootcamp disk, I am suppose to burn it using the bootcamp utility or is it included ? This is really my first mac you see, hence all these trivial questions about bootcamp and dual booting.
So bootcamp is just a partitioning and driver preparation/injection? utility. Where as in my case I am using two different SSD's and not sharing one with OSX. Hence bootcamp is of no real purpose to me other than the drivers it has for Win7. So I can just stick a win7 dvd in and boot off the thing by holding option key and selecting the superdrive to boot from and Windows 7 setup will start ? And once setup finishes I just stick the bootcamp diver cd in and install the drivers or do I have to provide them during Windows 7 setup ?

Nobody knows. We will likely know when Steve plans next years Macworld. If it is at SF, there is a good chance it will always be at SF.
Apple doesn't put on Macworld. There used to be two Macworlds, one in SF in Jan. and another on the East Coast in the summer. The Boston show disappeared a few years after Apple stopped going to that one. The WWDC is now Apple's summer event.

GPS is one of the least-discussed potential Apple gadget features, but one of the ones I'd most be interested in! (Not for iPhoto, although that would be cool :) I want a GPS for street navigation and for geocaching.)

My wife and I were getting ready to leave for the airport, to fly to New York. A few weeks earlier, we'd gotten the news that her cancer had recurred, and we were going to see a specialist in New York. We didn't have the TV on, but my mother called and asked me if we knew what was going on. I said I didn't, and she simply said, "You'd better turn your TV on. You're not going to be flying to New York today."
