Hi all. This is my first time posting here and I'm looking to buy my first Mac and I'm considering a 2.4ghz Mac Mini so that I may use it as a HTPC connected via HDMI to a 50" Samsung 720p 60hz Plasma.
I want to be able to use both DVDs, media stored on the internal/external hard drive, networked media.
My main question is will the Mac Mini display well on the 50" Plasma? The next question is I plan on using Plex. Does Plex support AVI, MP4, MKV files with ease?
Thanks for any support all! :)

I went on the same whim, but as to more showcase the work in another way than my website would do. It's now more a sort of blog for me that an actual way to find work... alas a blog I'm too busy/lazy to maintain.
I'm not entirely sure that professionals would use FB for that kind of finding a photographer for a job.
The last few jobs I had I picked up via google > my website, so I guess that's still the main road for people to go when in need of a photographer.
And ofcourse, then there's the whole "we'd like to own everything you add to FB" attitude of FB :)

This would be stealing, as my contract obliges me to continue paying for the cost of the hardware, which really isn't paid for, when I first get the phone. I agree with the others however, that AT&T should unlock the phone, once the contract is up, or that Apple should offer an unlocked phone, albeit at a higher price. I am thinking of expat pilots who live in the UAE flying for an international carrier for 20 days and then get to come back stateside for 10. They really need a solution like that. The next thing that AT&T should do, then, is have a different pricing structure for those with legitimately unlocked phones. After all, that phone didn't cost AT&T a dime.
In what way could you possibly define this as stealing? As you say, your contract is what obligates you to continue paying. Having an unlocked iPhone doesn't magically make your contract disappear. You still have to keep paying AT&T. It does allow you to use your personal property to do business with another carrier, if you choose, but you will still be paying AT&T. The fact that the lock is only in place to keep you from doing business, using your personal property, with another carrier, would be called restraint of trade in any other industry and would itself be illegal. Why is it legal in the wireless industry?

I just had to bring in my laptop for random shutdowns and the screen going bonkers like the tv in the movie "the ring" They had it for 5 days and replaced the logic board. Everything seems to be fine now, hopefully nothing else happens "knock on wood"

Why didn't you vote "yes?"
You so fundamentally don't understand the concept of taxes, I had to click other. What you make, after the price you pay to make that money (taxes), is yours to keep. Once you've paid the taxes that were due, the government can not, and should not, be allowed to cause you for forfeit that wealth.
Your fundamental misunderstanding of taxes makes me smile sometimes.

As in an M0001, saying just 'Macintosh' on it � so predating the launch of the 512k and the rebrand/slight internal redesign to make the 128k proper. This is a fully functioning machine, in all its original packaging, all manuals and all original disks and cassette tapes (including MacWrite and MacDraw).

Concur. Never once saw a Zune.
I get the sense MS is scrambling to catch up. They are a software company, and Apple is a hardware & software company (and I'll concede in many cases hardware = gadgets). However,they are all driven by a few streams of software which they continue to improve upon.
I wouldn't say scrambling, a company the size of Microsoft can't scramble if it tried. What is happening, though, is that after 10 years of focusing on the Enterprise, Microsoft is turning its eye back to the consumer space and is realigning its strategy.

Thanks, Dante. Your patient elucidation is much appreciated. I use my desktop for music production, and my laptop for everything else, including photoshop stuff for CD covers, etc.; the next step is consolidation into a single machine (now that I've sold off a ton of synth hardware and am more in-the-box). The color accuracy is obviously not the be-all and end-all for my applications, but I wouldn't want to save a couple of bucks and end up with something I couldn't use in everything I do.
I saw the HP in person today for the first time, and it does look great. As for the form factor element of the equation, I like the fact that it can be lowered on its stand to where the screen is almost sitting on the tabletop, and the screen can be turned L-R without moving the stand. I have a nice couch off to the side of my rig, where I'd like to be able to turn a 30" monitor for an occasional evening's DVD-viewing with friends, and hadn't yet figured out how this would "go" with an ACD (this studio arrangement is new; previously my couch was behind the main seating position at the rig).
Most of the above is doubtless more than you need or care to know, but let me finish my blathering by thanking you again. Best,
vic

I have my mac with me right now and i realized that word 2011 does not give you that option. all you would have to do is click on the line spacing button, and select line spacing options. From there towards the bottom of the newly popped up window there is a section called spacing. underneath that you will see before and after make sure they both are set to 0 pt.. that way there won't be a space before/after your paragraph.
best of luck!

Nice link. Thanks. ;)
At my last job, we had a contract with Cingular. After seeing how they treated a client that spent almost $200k a year with them, I'd never use them. It was horrid. I can't imagine how they would treat someone who spent $1200 or less.
I've had Nextel since 2000, and I loved it. Note the keyword there? Loved.
I had Sprint before that, and finally got so fed up with not only their service, but their customer service as well. Made the switch, and was very pleased until a year ago. When they announced the merger, I almost threw up. Since they actually merged, it's been the same crap that I dealt with when I had Sprint. Screwed up billing, ungodly terrible support and customer service, you name it.
It's sad, but when I call them I can tell right off the bat if the person I'm speaking with was a Nextel employee or an original sprint employee. Yeah, it's that bad.
Prior to the merge, 495 of the Fortune 500 companies had Nextel. I wonder how many of them still do?
The only thing keeping me on it right now is free incoming calls. Since U.S Cellular has recently added this feature, I'm very tempted to switch. The only thing stopping me so far is I'm waiting to average up my mobile to mobile minutes. If they are doable without doubling my current bill, I'm all over it.
What does really interest me is if Apple would indeed end up providing access to mobile broadband in their line-up. That would be very, very nice to have since all the cards out there are for PC's with some flavor windows.
As for the whole iTunes integration, I'm with you on this. Carrier first, then the goodies.

I had to hit the restore button, then it finally showed that there was the 1.2 update. all is well for me now, search functions, games, and downloading a movie now to test.
- the games look incredible, mini-golf is really addicting!
I can find everything except the advanced search function. Can you find that on your old 5G iPod? I can't for the life of me.
(Otherwise, I see all the functions -- games work, the quick scrolling where the big letter is displayed works, haven't tried gapless playback though but I'm assuming that works.)

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.

I was able to get it working. Thanks for your instructions. Now I need to wait for TW to improve their service so I can actually get more than 5 secs of video stream. I would be very interested to know if anyone who has TW cable has been able to get this to work reliably.

My friends and I have set up a non-for-profit society at university. My role in the society is the website. Where can I find free CGI hosting? We don't accept money from members and so can't afford to pay any money. At the moment we are on geocities (yuk!). I just want to set up some perl scripts. I would also need to ability to add modules (i.e. date/time modules) too probably.
Does anyone offer free CGI hosting?

I have an Edison and a Richard Feynman that I know are 100% originals and they do not have a copyright line on them. Neither does my Picasso, my Joan Baez, my Ghandi, or my Hitchcock. Only the ones I have gotten from Germany on eBay have the copyright line on them....the Buzz Aldrins, and a set of 6 of the 22x28" posters all have the copyright line on them.

1)The who cares line...love it...great reply.
2)The nonsense you speak of is why Amazon is killing the iPad as an e-reader. Don't believe me? Go read the tens of thousands of comments about how hard it is to read a book (not a website....not an email...a book) on an iPad.
We have both an iPad 1 and Kindle. Absolutely no comparison for reading books...iPad just stinks.
Who said anything about fail? You need to ease up and stick to the comments otherwise you look like a fool. Too late I guess.
I am not sure that your premise is correct btw. Amazon has never told anyone if they sell more books on the hardware kindle or the iOS apps..Not even sure how they can measure since I have a kindle, 2 macs, a pc, an iPad, and an iPhone all on my kindle account.
One more point on this subject, I have never purchased an a book from Apple :) The Kindle store is obviously a better choice, no matter what device you have.

You can't beat the 0.75% returns they are getting on all the cash?
Either you trust the strategic vision of the company, or you do not. If you do not, you should not invest.
Paying dividends and crashing the share price of a fast growing growth stock is moronic. You do recognize there is a direct relationship between dividends paid and drop in share price?
If you want to beat the .75% return because you don't think the company has a good strategic plan, sell some of your position , the net effect is exactly the same. The bonus is that you are now less heavily invested in a company you do not believe in.
