The iPhone 4 was a failure at launch. The antenna is broken. It drops Internet connections and calls if held a certain. The glass claiming to be strong is weak sauce and the only good things on the phone are the cameras and screen.*
Am I the only one who feels this way?
Yep, think so :)
I also live in a rural area, and with my measly 1-2 bars of 3g, I rarely drop a call and get 1.1-2.0 mbps download speeds. My phone has been perfect.

Sometime in the past few weeks, my Mac Pro has become very slow. Anybody got any fast ideas? Could it be 10.6.7?

I am sure they have more than what is here but they keep recounting. Maybe they are trying to make us paranoid. As long as they have 1 I will be happy. They stated they have now counted them all but they won't tell us the number. They just said everyone in line now will have one but again they won't tell us how many.
CRAP THEY ARE COUNTING AGAIN!!!

I decided to just install it on my SSD since I want to take advantage of the speed of it. This no longer seems as buggy as it did when I installed Lion a few weeks ago and got rid of it. I can now run the VNC app "iTeleport" without problem!
Thank you for taking the time to lay out these instructions, as it is invaluable to me as I install for future partitions down the road. Cheers.

If you do a little bit of searing, you can see some pretty cool videos by people using nothing but iPhones, especially the iphone4.
Has anyone here played with the iPhone 4 to do some videos?
I recently did a little short film using my iPhone 4. I attached my Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens to it (so I can do rack focusing) using a 35mm adapter onto an OWLE Bubo (http://www.wantowle.com/). Here was the results:

Would love to know what people think!

The issue is I have Best Buy credit and I need to know what to get. Is the Samsung going to be more powerful then the iMac refresh on Tuesday. I know there are differences between laptop and desktop systems but am trying to decide which to go.

My little 1gb shuffle works great as a key and as a place for music. I store my important documents, my software keys, a copy of my encryption/decryption software for my keys, and I still have room for music and audio books.

Hi,
I'm sure I'm duplicating another thread, but I can't find an explanation here or on Apple.com's support forum!
I'm a novice server admin running a server at a church, which we use primarily for web hosting and file sharing. We have our main website hosted on the server... which works well. It's super easy to update the website with iweb -- and super easy for everyone else who's not so into computers.
I'm trying to bring that same ease to updating our Children's Center website with iWeb and hosting it on the server. It's currently hosted on GoDaddy's web hosting, which has awful customization settings. I'm trying to switch us from GoDaddy's hosting to web hosting on the mac.
So far, by changing GoDaddy's DNS info to point to our dyndns host, I can get our GoDaddy domain to point to the server.... but it loads the church's website! I have set up a new Web Site in Server Admin with the Web Folder pointing to the output of iWeb (just as the church's website is set up). I have also tried two different DNS setups from browsing the interwebs (all morning), neither of which work.
1) I've set up (childrenscenter).org as a Primary Zone with a Web Service running underneath. The web service points to the Machine ID of the church's Primary Zone, which points to the address of the server. (which, I understand, should point it to the web service, which would point it to the right folder, but no! Argh)
2) I read elsewhere to set up my second site as an alias under my Primary Zone... so I tried that, simply pointing (childrenscenter).org to (server.church).org, which, also, should point to the Machine ID, to the address of the server, to the children's center website!
What am I doing wrong? I�m thinking my DNS is set up right� but I guess I don�t know how to set up the web services properly. Ideally, I�d like to keep any tinkering within Server Admin, as I can teach a dedicated volunteer to do that easier than using a terminal command or editing some obscure file.
Thanks in advanced. :)

I have never used a Samsung drive, nor do I know anybody who has. Do they actually make their own? Or do they get drives relabeled from another company?
I am not 100% sure but I think they make their own, Samsung is actually a brand that makes lots of things that are put inside other people's products, e.g. the memory for the iPod nano.
I have 2 maxtor drives, one western digital and one samsung, the samsung is the only one that didn't get noiser with time, it is 20Gb and at least 5 years old, it looks identical externaly to the need ones, I guess the new ones should have improvements to make then even quiter and more reliable (i'm guessing).

Inspired by a user's thread who is unhappy with the way their KB backlight works (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1130722), I decided to play with the Ambient Light Sensor and KB backlight on my MBP.
I was a bit disappointed to see that unlike under W7 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd318953(v=vs.85).aspx)there is no official API to access the sensor data. Really?
Anyhow, I quickly found this code: http://osxbook.com/book/bonus/chapter10/light/ and various comments around that it doesn't work anymore. A bit more digging led to this code: http://google-mac-qtz-patches.googlecode.com/svn-history/r5/trunk/AmbientLightSensor which does actually work and allowed me to whip this up.

Technically you can't return a digital download so they would in effect be giving it to you free hence the lack of refunds.
It is the same reason retailers don't have to offer refunds on CDs, DVDs or Games (at least in the UK). You can quite easily buy the CD or whatever, rip it and then return it and get it for free.
+1. In the U.S. its actually illegal (for the business) to return an opened copy of a software or CD and exchange it for something else (I understand the OPs situation is different). I used to work at Circuit City and Best Buy about 12 years ago (and before that KB Toys) and we used to have training on this. Any exception that is made results in the store taking the full hit.
Digital downloads obviously can't be refunded because who's to say someone didn't keep the file on their computer?

I have a package design project in my design class and was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for packages that need to be redesigned. You never really realize something is poorly designed until the new one is released. I have looked at many good designs but can not thing of a product that needs a revamp.
any ideas would be appreciated

Unless they change the power supply the only thing really to update is either the price or the capacity.
I thought they had fixed the capacitor problem. The first batch (1 year+) was dying, but have they continued to die for newer models?
ive had, the original 512gb die at 14months, a 2Tb die at 8 months, and another "2nd gen" 1Tb die at 14 months.
the only thing they "fixed" was a firmware update that keeps the HDD spun down as much as possible to minimise heat build up and turns the internal useless fan on low almost all the time, the components in my original TM and the new TM are identical apart from the upgrade double antenna WIFI and bigger HDD.
apple will ignore a design fault if they can "patch around it" and potentially fix it if they can be bothered to way down the line

Where are you getting this $500 figure? The Dual gig is $2499 and the dual 1.25 gig is $3299.
I can see your $500 price difference is if you upped the RAM in the dual gig model to 512MB (+$200) and the hard drive to 120 (+$100) to match all the specs of the 1.25 model. Is that what you meant?
For the extra $500 you get basically an extra 250MHz per processor and an extra 1MB of L3 cache. And bragging rights of having the fastest PowerMac until the next revision. But I never personally purchase the highest model available. I would consider waiting until the benchmark results come out against the two models, that would help to determine if the extra $500 is worth it.
