oh ya, could someone explain what they mean by "gapless playback"?
On CDs (or any other physical recording) sometimes artists have one song run right into another - you know it's changed because you're familiar with it or you happen to look up at the CD track counter and see it go from 3 to 4 but the music hasn't stopped. Digital tracks had a bad side effect of putting a break between tracks. Gapless apparently knows when the original recording intended no gap and then replicates that on the iPod / iTunes replay. This breakthrough also available on cassette tape. :rolleyes:

Really no need for the DI to be active if it's for a guitar. Just get a passive one.

Well, I don't think the OP specifically broke any forum rules. This was not a for sale thread, nor a thread asking how to sell on this forum.
I would suggest selling this on Craigslist. You could probably get $75 for it there, as opposed to ~$20 here. Shipping this would be close to $35 for this, so not many people here would be willing to pay that unless they were a diehard collector.
In order to sell here, you need to have a minimum of 250 posts, so unfortunately you can't sell here. Therefore, you'd have more luck selling it locally.
If you still want to try selling it online 68kmla.net and LEMSwap (http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap) both deal more specifically with lower-end hardware sales. But please, stick around this forum. Its the best. :D

It took them longer than I expected...
Dropping sales since and foreboding news back then from GameStop when they stopped selling them due to lacking demand.
The excuse they gave me was, they decided to stick with game machines and drop mp3 players...
Who knows - maybe there's going to be some manufacturer out there with mp3 players that use Windows 7 Mobile or Android to compete with the Touch - which is why MS doesn't want to make that hardware anymore...

There was a thread citing this blog post (http://blogs.zdnet.com/Murphy/?p=479) earlier this week that said that G4 costs apple something like US $72 ; while the current pentium m predecessor to the yonah is more than US $240. These are volume prices to the manufacturers. So unless apple is going to cut corners somewhere else I think the intel books will cost at least a little more.

I love Infinifolders, have it on all my devices. I have held off on Infinidock because I thought it did not really add more icons to the main dock view, just allowed you to scroll the 6 that were there over so you can have as many as you want, right. Similar to what happens when you double click the home button for fast app switching. I might still go that route, I was just hoping for something that would allow more right on each page.

yay standards-compliance! it doesn't validate yet (although i haven't really looked at why it doesn't - check http://validator.w3.org:8001/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.macrumors.com%2F&verbose=1&fussy=1 to see the issues).
but am totally impressed. it's very hard to design information-based sites, and it's great to see macrumors evolve.
congrats.

And no doubt developers are in for a lot of work if they have to make all their applications 'flexible'
From my understanding, hopefully not too much work. Basically, bitmap images need to be replaced with vector images if possible (or high resolution versions - I think I read app icons should be 256x256...). Same goes for any custom GUI components (which usually just use bitmap images). Everything else is handled by the OS.

To me it sounds like you have some custom equalizer setting in iTunes to boost the bass because afaik it's a straight conversion that Garageband does, ie. what is in the MP3 file gets converted to AIFF. But if you want you can open the MP3 file in Audacity and export it as AIFF and see if there's any difference.
Unfortunately, I don't have any equalizers applied to my iTunes library. The conversion takes all bass away completely and there is a definitive difference in audio quality when playing the song in iTunes (or even in the import menu) compared to playing the song in GarageBand.
The song files are all either m4a or mp3, if this helps.

Evening,
Today I came back home and for unimportant reasons had to reset my router. I added WPA2 Personal encryption. After doing this, I noticed that my internet speed was crawling.
I unplugged cable/router but to no avail. I then did a sanity check and plugged my laptop into the Ethernet port on the router and sure enough, a much better speed was had.
For fun, i reset the router again, and this time just ran a test using factory settings. Sure enough, the speed on wifi is terrible. At this point, I'm out of ideas.
Anyone have any suggestions on what may be going on and how I can fix the problem? For those who didn't bother to read - I HAVE unplugged and then plugged back in both cable box and router and had no success.

What program should I use to try to get this to work with windows 7?
I'm also wondering what to put instead of optimum.net if I'm on Time Warner.
What router do you have? Some routers have built in VPN server support. If not, you can try EasyVPN for windows. I found a link here:
http://www.comodo.com/home/email-security/vpn-access.php
To find the Time warner search domain name go to your router's setup page. It should have a summary page and tell you your public IP address and also the search domain. If you can't find it, PM me, I'll help you out.

(1) Not even close to every machine ships with a productivity suite... in fact, if you look closely at what you're paying for when you buy most PC machines, those products that "ship standard" with your fancy new PC are built into the price. Most customizable online shops (Dell, et al.) allow you to remove that software and lower the price. So obviously, they are not free.
(2) iWork is undoubtably being groomed as a direct competitor to Office. There's no disputing that. It CURRENTLY is a replacement for AppleWorks, because it's still young and undeveloped in places, but it would be insane for Apple not to try and pursue part of the Office marketshare. It's an untapped resource, and frankly the Office programs are not very well constructed (with the exception of Excel). Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint are pretty lousy, and while Access is solid, it's certainly not leaps and bounds better than (PageMaker) <-- EDIT: Sorry, meant FileMaker.
(3) Bundling software, and then looking for profit on the backend with upgrades is a reasonable answer to the question. There's something to be said for that. But in the end, I think you're comparing Apples and Oranges. While at current, iWork is undeveloped, it is (as I said) being groomed to be a full suite of productivity Apps. iLife is a wonderful package of Apps, but they do not replace Pro Apps. iPhoto is garbage compared to Aperture or Photoshop. Pages is certainly not garbage compared to Word, and Keynote is already a much better App than PowerPoint. So I think there's a flaw in the argument here...
The only ones who even remotely have iWork tagged as an office competitor are those hardcore mac users despise anything that doesn't have the Apple logo on it. It is a consumer application. If iWork is not shipped with every Mac, nine times out of ten they're going to buy some version of office because that's the standard that everyone knows. I used Claris then Appleworks until it got too far behind pretty much because it came with my Mac.
I agree that they'd be better off bundling iWork while it only consists of Pages and Keynote, as a taster for the eventual suite-scale upgrade. I have absolutely no use for Keynote anyway, so as far as I'm concerned, the money is just for Pages, which is not much of a sweetener compared with the Educational version of Office.
For those in an Office or College setting, there isn't going to be much defending against Office student and teacher. Most computer tasks are built around office. Add in the option of a more familiar interface option for word processing and light duty spreadsheet and database apps, iWork and the Mac would have a lot going for it over PCs with MS Works.
