Besides those of you who got to be at NAMM, I really want to know more about FCX. I read the blogs and watched the bad video of the show except I really want to know more about FCX. It's under a month away so why keep so much secret... This is an application not an iPhone so I don't see a reason not to go into more detail. Just put up on the website. Yes my patience is wearing thin because I have been waiting for an update for a very long time. In my view I don't see a problem with apple telling us more about this product.
I'm obviously excited and from what I read many others are to, so just give us a little info to hold us over.

So you would recomend the v600 over the v400 as far as battery life and quality?
It all depends. I liked the V600 better than the V400 for these reasons.
It was made out of Metal/Aluminium instead of plastic.
I seemed to be able to hear better on it. Although i think it was do mainly to ergonomics.
I liked the look and feel of it much better. To me the V400 was the beta, and the V600 was the final product.
I value style, and durability, so I went with the V600. Also, I had a V60 which I loved. Possibly the best phone I have ever owned, and the V600 remind me much of it. I'm sure was a big part of my decision.
And as for battery life, if I remember correctly it was about the same. No huge difference.
So I guess if your an average user, The V400 is a good fit.
BTW, I dont think Cingular sells the V600 anymore. I think they replaced it with a 500 series phone. Which is made out of plastic :(

i have four LaCie d2 form factor drives in a LaCie desk rack. I've used d2's for years, no problems whatsoever. They are quiet and reliable, and, if you're getting more than one eventually, the rack is very nice.

Yes, yes, I know that all technology is obsolete the second you take it out of the box, wahwahwah. Heh. Sorry.
Anyway, I've been using this early 2006 C2D MBP for 5 years now and it's been a great machine. It was my first mac and, other than battery problems, it was a fantastic experience that has driven me to purchase apple again.
These new iMacs look fantastic and I'm pretty sure I want to get a 27inch model. My question is regarding how best to ensure I get 5-6 years of great performance out of the computer, hardware-wise.
Money isn't really an issue, but obviously I don't want to spend more than I have to.
1) Is the i7 worth it over the i5? I game, use photoshop, handbrake and the occasional final cut/video editing project. I've been seeing hellhammer give "evidence" that the i7 actually can perform worse for gaming (of course, not by much). Will this be true in 3 years (yeah, I know no one can predict the future, just asking for best educated guesses from the experts)? For instance, will we likely be seeing more games make use of hyperthreading?
2) 1gb vs 2gb vram. I've noticed a lot of people talking about the fact that the 6790m isn't powerful enough to actually ever need 2gb of vram. Is this something that is true right now but could change over time? I don't know the tech details of why 2gb can't really be used, so I don't know if this is something that is the result of the way current software uses the gpu or if 2gb will never, ever be useful on the 6790m.
Hmm, I think those are my two biggest questions. Sorry for the wall-o-text. Just looking for advice on how to get the most longevity out of the system without being uninformed and just buying the top of the line across the board.
Thanks!

Hi,
I've got a 2007 Aluminium iMac and I've noticed these last few weeks that it is spinning the beach ball a bit more than before and has to have a little think about things when I ask it to do something from time to time.
Time for a spring clean I think. :D
So, can anyone point a tech-savvy person towards some good articles or forum threads on how to get my Mac operating again as it should?
My machine was running Tiger when I bought it and was upgraded to Leopard then Snow Leopard. I've never done a reinstall and to be honest I was hoping I wouldn't have to. I'm 100% comfortable with messing with files, folders, plists and pretty much anything else on the Mac. If I'm honest I'm just looking for a cheat sheet for regaining performance on my machine without having to figure it out for myself... :o
Thanks in advance for any help,
Craig.

OWC -- Hall of Fame. They've never done me wrong.
We Love Macs -- Hall of Fame. Again, never a problem.
PowerBookMedic I wouldn't put on either list. I've had positive experiences with them and negative experiences. They seem to handle the little things fine, but when it comes to DVD drives, be careful.

You have to use something like Dynamic DNS to help you find your network from the outside world and you also have to forward the correct ports on your router.
If all this sound foreign to you, you might find it much easier to use a service like logmein.com, which needs no additional configuration.

I also have a set of JBL Creatures, but I wouldn't say the sound quality is really good. They are very good for the price, and I do love them to bits but they don't cope very well at high volume (like, Maximum).
They are fine for a bedroom, but I don't think they have enough 'in hand' to be loud in a large room. I am fussy, but I get some distortion when listening to them very loud. Great for gaming and mp3, but not for listening to classical music or hard-house up high.
They look superb, though :)
i would disagree but i feel the quality is very good for what you are paying for. i have never managed to get them to full volume as it was so loud i couldnt stand it! i do not think there is any distortion at pretty loud listening when listening to heavy rock, metal, dance and cheese! i think a lot of it comes down to the quality of what you are playing (all my mp3's are 192kbps aac) and also the set up of the equilizer on itunes. if you get it correct it sounds amazing, even on my pb speakers!

Well at first it comes in this great little box, after opening it I was amazing. Not at the size of the iPod but rather on how much it wighes or I should say how much it does not. Its very light, while driving for 15 mins I could not feel it in my shirt pocket. I installed the cd then pluged the iPod and downloaded 130 songs (I got the 512mb version) onto it. All seems great till now.
I am now in my car driving home, and get a taste of newest iPod from Apple. The sound it great, to my normal user ears it sound as good as it can. The controls are easy to use and are in the right place. I find that not having a screen is a bit on the downside since I got lost a few times trying go forward or go back to a song I heard. For my use on the other its great not having a screen, I just put the songs I want and hit the gym.
iPod Shuffle vs iPod
Here is the bug question, and a hard one unless you know what you want. I read a few post on how some people wanted to get rid of there iPod (5gb-10gb) to get an iPod Shuffle (some here and other forums). The iPod shuffle is for people with a small playlist or who are on the move a lot. I hit the gym 5 times a week and do many other sports. The problem I had was that the iPod is to large for me to carry around with me while doing sports. The iPod shuffle is very light and does the job I need very well in this area. Unless you need the protibility of the iPod Shuffle when doing any kind of sports your normal iPod is the better deal.
Final thoughts
All-in-all the iPod Shuffle is a great product, its small, sounds great and look good. I can use it as a USB thumb drive aswell, thou its not as fast as a normal one. I am very pleased with it so far and inted to use it a lot. If your looking for a flash mp3 player then this is the one for you, if you have a large collection and don�t mind the extra wight then stick with your normal iPod, I for one have two iPods, the U2 and the iPod Shuffle both are great players for different uses.

They don't cost that much. Where a new PC game is around �30-50, DS games rarely poke above �30 if you shop around.

HTC 16 Megapixel handset incoming? (http://www.t3.com/news/htc-16-megapixel-windows-phone-7-handset-incoming?=55525)
Hopefully they wont ruin it by putting cheap, knock-off lenses in.
Well one thing that was discovered later after a lot of the reviews was people were not remove the little plastic film over them. They assumed incorrectly that because there was a cut or for it that it was not on there. After you remove the the plastic film it worked great. (film is a lot like the plastic one on the iPhone when you first get it)

I run torchlight just fine on my 4 year old MBP... but that game was designed for a netbook ;)
I remember when L4D came out, and my (at the time 2 year old MBP I believe) only met the minimum requirements... The general rule of thumb is, if you're a PC gamer, you keep a PC to game on, or you stop gaming.

Perhaps Lion will cost relatively little, such as the Snow Leopard upgrade.
Possible, but highly unlikely. Apple did this before with 10.1 for 10.0 owners (Since 10.1 was what 10.0 shouldve been, and 10.6 is what ideally 10.5 shouldve been) - Id expect it going back to $129, since its a full release instead of an improved Snow Leopard.

What we really need is a Windows Keynote player downloadable for free off of Apple's website. ...Apple could probably throw one together in a day and iWork sales would skyrocket (not to mention the switching potential of the Windows users watching such a beautiful presentation on their piece of crap :D).
I don't think that would work, considering Keynote uses lots of Quartz technologies, which Windows of course doesn't have. iTunes and QuickTime are different of course because they don't rely on any Core/Quartz tech.

a more helpful answer would be to say that the keynote begins 5pm UK.

A microfiber cloth usually does the trick, wet it a bit if you need to. For the screen use purpose made screen cleaner solution or wipes, available in all good computer stores.
DO NOT do what my other half did and clean the screen with furniture polish as she did on my new TV....needless to say she suffered for that.
