no one seems to be pointing out that they got rid of educational pricing for iPods... that's a bummer.
They did lower the prices overall, so I don't see a problem. You can get an 80GB iPod for less than I bought my 60 GB (with the discount). They probably also figured most people getting an iPOD (not necessarily doing the purchasing) are students, and they didn't like the hassle of doing the Student ID checks.
I would like to see a bigger education discount in the computer area. As a teacher, the price is still a little high. It would be nice to start the Macbooks at just under $1000 with a DVD burner with the 1.83 Ghz... or I should look into a career that makes buying Macbooks a BREEZE...
by the way... how many times is iTUNES 7 going to "determine Gapless Playback Information" I hope this isn't a daily process. It has already done it 3 times after connecting my iPOD.

I've heard 2 different stories on the tickets @ Best Buy.
1 - They are not able to be redeemed until tomorrow, March 12th
2- They can be used after launch @ 5 PM.
Any ideas on what the official story is?
Thanks!

I paid for and downloaded the .WAV-Version. I was kind of annoyed though that they don't offer a version in some lossless codec like ALAC or FLAC that has tagging capabilities. You shouldn't have to enter basic metadata yourself... :cool:
People are even arguing over (http://www.last.fm/music/Radiohead/_/Morning+Mr+Magpie/+shoutbox) whether it's supposed to say Mr Magpie or Mr. Magpie. :rolleyes:
If they are charging more for the WAV, it better be 24bit resolution.
It's not.

They are still doing the Back to School Promo on iPods, maybe when they finish this they will go back to dual pricing.

I was quite impressed with Microsoft's idea of Photosynth (http://labs.live.com/photosynth/). Apparently it stitches user photo's together and gives a 3D view of a place. Of course a lot of things can be automated if the exact GPS coordinates are known. A GPS enabled camera could provide this and the combination of Google Earth could be just the thing Apple is looking for.

Technically AM3 CPUs will work in AM2+ boards. Problem is that DDR2 is a dead end at this point. DDR3 is so cheap nowadays I see no reason in not buying it and enabling yourself to use newer CPUs and chipsets.
As far retail stores - vast majority of people working at those stores don't have a clue. Also, not to sound sexist but why would you ask women to begin with? Yes, I've seen women that know about this stuff but they are rare and far between. Of course not to say that I can't imagine hearing such nonsense from a male employee.

No idea what this means but i think it's good lol
This would be a tethered jailbreak, correct? I certainly wouldn't risk it on an iPhone, but I might could get by with a tethered jailbreak on an iPad. At least until an untethered one comes out.

You're right. I was more thinking about the process in making it translucent.
For some reason a translucent image is made by changing its "opacity"... I dunno why they don't call it "translucency" lol.
I think you mean you're :p

Hello... First Post... Its a little long winded but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have a dedicated Power Mac G4 2001/2002 (733mhz 1.5GB Ram single processor) linked up to a specialist large format scanner. The G4 operates solely on OS9.2 as the large format scanners software can only work on OS9.2, but this G4 is starting to struggle, possible capacitor issues. I do not have the scanning software discs so am unable to install them onto another computer, and without this software and OS9.2 I would be unable to use my scanner, massive knightmare that I really want to avoid. Ideally I need to try and clone this G4 onto another G4. I have recently obtained a second Power Mac G4 (733mhz 1.5Gb single processor) but it is operating on OSX and does not have OS9 installed on it.
Q: Is it possible to clone my current Power Mac G4 (the OS9.2 operating system & its specialist scanning software) and make an exact clone onto the Power Mac G4 that currently has OSX installed on it?
I have never cloned a computer before, if the above is possible, then I would so greatly appreciate any step by step instructional advice on the above.
Kind Regards,
tea & cake
:apple:
It would be much easier just to open both PowerMacs, and take the Hard Disk Drive (with OS 9.2 and all your files on it), and install it into the new PowerMac. - All it takes is a screwdriver, and its really easy in those machines :)

Thanks for the reply :)
I've just found the problem in the site definitions (as you say) there is a button in the advanced area that says "links relative to" with the choices "document" and "site root". I clicked site root and started again and when I made an external css file it has the same dialogue to click. This solves it.
Now i've just got to get fireworks to do the same now
Thanks for the help

I would assume the overnight line will form outside the northwest entrance (the one at the bottom of the ramp & tunnel underneath North End. That would make the most sense. This will be my first Apple launch day visit and my plan is to arrive at 6 AM as the doors to the MALL open.
This should be fun! See you guys there!

Yeah I don't think so. Unless you scale it to an exact multiple, it's going to look like crap.
With subpixel anti-aliasing (how OS X does it now), it will scale well to any size. Naturally it will get a little blurry, but it depends how you define "look like crap" as to whether it will be acceptable or not.
The real problem is that this antialiasing is an expensive operation. Maybe they can do it all on the GPU now...but they're going to have to cache those pictures somewhere. This why its a good thing that # of cores are going up and memory is getting cheaper, we will be using lots more of each when we turn on all the candy in 10.5

For some reason, when the hard drives in Powermac G5s die, it causes weird things to happen to the rest of the machine.
Rule of thumb for every old or used mac
ALWAYS PUT IN A BRAND NEW HARD DRIVE.
You won't be sorry. But especially in Powermac G5s.

I just ordered myself one of OWC's wicked new 6G SSDs, plus an optical drive bay adapter so I can put the stock rotating hard drive in place of the optical drive for extra storage.
I want to have a portable USB optical to take along in the bag when I'm doing repairs, though, and it seems like a waste to buy a brand new one and shelve the pull from my MBP in case of warranty repair. So I wanted to get a USB enclosure for it, preferably bus powered.
You can get one from MaxUpgrades for $25; they sell it as part of a kit with an optical drive bay adapter, but since I got one from OWC I'd just be ordering the drive case:
http://www.maxupgrades.com/istore/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_ID=186
...but once you add shipping you're looking at over $30, which is basically the price of a whole external. Has anybody bought one of those cases, and if so, was it nice enough in terms of build quality to be worth $30?
An alternate would be this Syba brand one from Newegg,which would end up being about $23 shipped:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817801052
Anybody by any chance tried that one? Other recommendations for a case for a slot-loading slim optical?

So the Verizon deal really didn't help them with the iPhone and Apple lost again more marketshare in the smartphone market. Not good especially as Google now ships almost 40 million Android phones per quarter. Maybe a cheap iPhone nano might help Apple to get back into a competing position.
iPhone sales grew an astounding 113 percent year over year, reaching 18.65 million for the quarter.
Google doesn't ship phones. And the 40 million is all phones, not smart phones where Apple plays.
Stop spreading misinformation.

That was easy! Thanks! I looked at some Belkin's, but not those models. Thanks again.
Don't forget to enter in "12345" as the code on the Belkin page in order to get those switches half off!

Well, I do know the Volume Logic is **still** in Beta testing for Intel Macs. I wasn't aware that VL for the PowerPC chips. was encountering playback problems.
Only in iTunes 7 it seems there is a problem. Hopefully the problem will be fixed, i miss my VL already.
