How are the current displays old tech? I think you are confusing 'old tech' with 'original release date a long time ago but silent incremental updates since'.
The currents ACDs use the LG.Philips S-IPS panel. In other words 'about the best of new tech' as opposed to 'old tech'. I challenge you to find a 23"/24" display that uses a comparable panel for under $1000 . The newer tech is the H-IPS panel which is the monitor that you'll find in your iMac that has 'serious colour gradient problems' (send it back, it's a dud). About the only monitor you'll find with the H-IPS is the NEC 24" that comes in at around $1100 .
Glossy displays are not for pros so they will only be an option on the ACD's. Glossy displays are better than matte ones in the same way that a lollipop is tastier than a truffle.
The only update I can see happening soon would be to use the latest H-IPS panel with more inputs but Apple won't do that if it's not available for the 30" as well (is it anyone?).
Apple's competition with the highend 23/24" monitors is the NEC. Since the Apple is $200- $300 cheaper and there is no/few other comparable displays(s) in the price range I'd consider it a bargain at the moment unless you have other issues such as inputs.
If Apple release new ACDs I suspect the 23/24" will be more expensive, but you'll have a chance to get the present ACD for a bargain. Other than that I think the 23" ACD is a safe buy.
Yep -- You got this right.

It depends on how you're running the vm, full screen, coherence, etc. From full screen you hit control+option and click on the devices menu at the top then scroll down to CD/DVD1, that'll open a menu to the side and click on default CD/DVD. That will connect the disc drive to the vm, just remember to disconnect it when you're done.
Ahh great that worked thanks :D

Am I the only one bothered by this??
So it seems like everytime I open the App Store or iTunes on my iPhone 3GS I get asked for my password!! I don't care about an app that didn't update or a download that failed earlier! I just want to do what I'm doing now, and not be bothered by entering my password for some reason that I don't even remember or care about.
Is this a useless rant or do others feel the same way?
it does get rather annoying to put your password in each and every time you download an app. they should have it that once you turn your phone on you enter a master password and everything is set.

I am part of a none profit organization and we want to send out an eNews Letter to people interested with our group. I'm in charge of getting this thing off the ground but I'm not sure exactly how to do it. What I want to do is send out an email with nice graphics, pictures, links, and so on and so forth; pretty much like the regular printed kind of news letter but through email. I guess a good example of the kind of news letter I'm talking about would be the ones Apple sends out. What do I need in order to do something like that? :confused:

Would it be better t o try and do this off of a memory stick? How many gigs would I need?
By games I'm talking about mostly casual games with small clients and low GPU usage...
Memory stick is still USB so it would still be contrained and probably not perform well.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate in 11 gig as I recall using Parallels. Not a whole lot of space. You'll need much more if you will run games.

I played AC4 to death when it came out. Haven't touch any others for more than 10 minutes when a friend happens to have one. Not sure why...maybe I burned myself out. I will give this a shot if there is a demo so I can say I at least tried it.

I still can't believe you lot in the USA have gone for yet another incompatible-with-the-rest-of-the-world frequency for your 3G network meaning that anyone coming to the USA won't be able to use your 3G network and your 3G iPhones will be about as useful as a one legged dog outside the USA.
It's interesting that the T-Mobile guy thinks that the prime use for 3G in the USA will be email and other user generated content and not music though. Personally the last thing I want is content rich email on my mobile phone.
Its most likely because most people here still just use their cellphone as a phone and nothing more. My phone is internet capable but I sure am not paying their ridiculous prices just to check the weather or my email when I'm away from a broadband connection. And why would I pay to download ringtones when I can make my own higher quality ones? I mean, that's just stupid.
But I agree, US companies are just so "US only" in their thinking. It really just limits them.

How tall is the stand? Could be the stand height plus the height the iMac display is at. Try just removing the monitor stand and have the iMac on the desk by itself since the chin of the iMac sort of raises the viewing of it a bit
It is on the desk, I think thats what is causing the problem I measured the distance from the floor to the top of the screen and the Imac was about a foot lower.
I've added a stand to raise it up... (ok it's standing on a speaker at the moment) which has raised it about 7 inches so i'll see how that goes also dropped my seat a bit.

Yes. Switches are generally transparent "black boxes" that require no configuration. Make sure you pick up a gigabit switch if you need the speed.

I turned on my Mac this morning and double clicked the Firefox icon but I did it twice by accident and it said "You can only open one Firefox at once" and made me click "Close" and then I was never able to reopen Firefox again

The reason they are working is because the iMac is authorized for all of those accounts under (Store>Authorize this Computer).
I created a brand new Apple ID on another mac, downloaded a free app and copied it to the iMac in my wife's itunes account. The only way I could get the app to load on the iPad was to authorize the iMac to that new Apple ID. If I deauthorize it the app gets deleted on next sync.
kalex - are you working on an iPad 1 or 2 and is it JB?
Mine is not JB
When you did this with your friends iPad is that computer authorized to your apple ID?
Is it possible that some free apps don't enforce the DRM somehow?
I am feeling that this may not work after all:(

It's as easy to use as an ATM. They wouldn't even need to include instructions!
Just like most everything else, I trust Apple has thought this through a little more than our collective minds. They wouldn't put out something that wouldn't work.

A great place to grab Jag for cheap is OWC, or eBay.
Jag never shipped on DVD-ROMs, unless they are the system restore discs, and even then I believe it was CDs.
The Wallstreets are a nice machine if you have enough RAM and a big HD in them. And if the person who sold you one didnt really screw you over by selling you a dying machine. -.-
I absolutely love my Wallstreet. It's even a Wallstreet II so it isn't one of those ones without a backside cache (think it was the backside cache) I mean yeah it has a couple problems. Dead battery, OS9.2. But I mean aside from that it's a great machine.
I got your PM artful, I'll let you know if I decide to go that route. :)

The only thing I don't like about using the phone as a steering wheel is I am turning my screen as well, so it is harder to see what is going on. Plus I am not a huge fan of the lack of analog gas and braking.
I haven't noticed the issue (I do notice that the games seem to tilt the screen too so your view stays level ;). But only if I'm paying attention). I have no issue seeing what is going on honestly.
As for the analog gas and braking, gotta agree. Need for Speed Shift lets you try braking for yourself (I actually let it brake for me), but all of them just do the gas pressing for you. Honestly because here is a weakness, there is no real way to implement a way to easily press gas and do the other stuff which is why they do that. Actually, I could see a way of doing it (all have to be with the right hand) but then I don't see a way of implementing shifting easily if you prefer that (Need for Speed let's you shift if you like, Asphalt 5 does not but NFS is more serious and Asphalt 5 is more arcade style).
Anyways, no, it's not console quality, but it's still fun :) (and in the end, that is the most important part, is it fun?). I think I'm going to turn auto braking off soon and see how well I do with that (I've unlocked most stuff in NFS at this point).
