I'm a recent switcher who traded his PIII 850 MHz Dell laptop for a 550 MHz TiBook back in January. In my honest opinion, you will probably notice a significant speed decrease if you are running IE or Word on OS X. Jaguar has improved OS X's performance, but it still lags behind a P III. Webpages load much faster on a PC, although as other reviewers have pointed out, it may have more to do with the browsers. If you run it on OS 9, however, web surfing and processing is pretty fast.
Nevertheless, I have few regrets in switching. My TiBook has handled many tasks for me without greeting me with a blue screen of death. You can plug in any hardware with full confidence that it will work on a Mac (I was reminded of this when I had spent a frustrating hour trying to get my PC at work to read the external zip drive). PC users have come to expect crashes as much as humans expect the rain--a natural occurrence. Rather than "Think Different," I think the new Apple slogan should be something like "Mac: It just works." :D
Here are some of the programs I run: Office X, AOL IM, Mozilla, IE, REALbasic, iTunes, iPhoto, and FileMaker Pro. I have Photoshop 7 but I can't compare the speed between P7 on a Mac and PC since I had never used it on a PC. It runs fast enough for my purposes.
In my direct experience, I have found PCs to be faster than Macs, but far less stable and compatible with 3rd party hardware.

Run the Disk Utility application (in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder). Select your hard disk in the left pane and click on the Repair Permissions button.
I run Macaroni which repairs permissions automatically according to a schedule, and have never had a problem. I believe that conventional wisdom suggests that you should repair permissions before and after applying Apple software updates, and after installing any application that requires the entry of the admin password.

so you have the headphones connected via usb
the cheapo soundcard connected via usb
and the standard built in output.
Have you got any normal headphones, even earbuds to test it out? I think the headphones are giving you the trouble with traktor
1. Remove the usb headphones
2. connect your speakers to the usb sound card.
3. Connect your earbuds/other headphones to the built in output.
Setup the aggregate soundcard like mine.
See if that works
You can get a phono to jack cable for about �5
Also with the one i have it only has 2 outputs despite having a headphone socket, so i had to use the aggregate solution to enable monitoring.
Slight progress...When I set up like this
274808274807
Then I can monitor headphones when both channels are muted on mixer otherwise i hear everything plus the one i want to much louder....actualy thats back to square one :(
Using iphone headphones this time...same problem.
Thanks for the help thus far

I was thinking about this on my way home today.
If your driving on the highway you would obviously get better fuel economy if you turned off your A/C. But if you turned off the A/C and opened the windows of your car would the aerodynamics get messed up and reduce your fuel economy. If so by how much. It would obviously depend on the vehicle, but I'm just speaking in general.
Maybe I'll preform an experiment one of these days...
Click and Clack, the official source of this kind of information protest that using the A/C uses less fuel than the drag created by opening the windows (and really killing your aerodynamics).

Week 1: Read Python; familiarize self with scripting language semantics/syntax
Week 2-4: Learn PHP; obviously begin with what you learned from Python and build from there. Start to look at object-oriented PHP materials.
Week 5: Begin SQL query writing; queries aren't so difficult if you know your PHP material well. The better at coding you are, the better your query writing will be.
Eventually, you'll want to get into content management systems and MVC frameworks - this, outside of object oriented programming, is the biggest mountain to climb, but it is well worth it in the long run as all of your hard work will pay off. These two things will take a long time to learn so don't fret if you don't understand it all from the very beginning.
Also, like someone else said, make sure your design is consistent across different browsers. Since you are learning, you're probably looking at a lot of divs and what not. Divs are nifty, but browsers don't agree with them 90% of the time. This means grabbing a copy of Windows, downloading Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8, and 9 to make sure everything looks correct. This is one of every designer/developers biggest complaints and why Internet Explorer is hated beyond words.
wtf is Python? Sorry, but I had never heard of it until now. Stick with the basics and what's most commonly used. Maybe I've been out of the game a couple years but I would learn Ajax before I learned python.

some of them should be there. i mean, the ghz processor is an ideal next upgrade. but who knows if they'll just go up to 933.... ddr... i'm not sure how it works in laptops... ie, if it's that much different than desktop ddr such that the fact that the pmacs and xserves are using ddr is not enough.... however, looking at the trend, i wouldn't be surprised if it were to use ddr in the next pbook update.
faster bus is fairly likely i think.... fairly. same with graphics card
superdrive though. doubtful..... though, it's possible. assuming the drive itself is being kept secret so far.....

Unplugging and plugging the nunchuk seems to stave off issues for 12-24 hours, but it's been a real annoyance for the past three days. Has anybody else have this happen to them?
Maybe playing for 12-24 hours at a time is the first problem.:eek:

thanks for the great advice,
my requirements is a tripod I can hike around, though most of the time I will be operating out of my car. Still I am planning on hiking mount St Helens this year amongst other hikes, so I do not want anything to heavy to haul 4750 vertical ft over 4 miles up (then reverse this down). jabot, I will look into the Gitzo GT-2531 for legs, as for the head, I will look at the 2 mentioned below
Really Right Stuff BH-40
Manfrotto
thank you once again
as for other information on my equipment, I currently am using a Canon 500D/T1i, with kit lens. My next purchase will be a 7D, I did want to venture into the 5D2 but I am going to stick with the EF-S lenses for most of my shooting. I am not a professional. My next lens purchase will be EF-s 10-22mm.

Hi all
I've been on 4.0 for a while now (which I had jailbroken with jailbreakme). But lately I've been getting a message like 'you need 4.1 or higher to install this app'.
So I think it's about time to upgrade.
Now, I don't know much about all the jailbreaking stuff, that's why I loved jailbreakme, one click and it was done.
So my question to you is, to which version should I update and what should I use to jailbreak it?
It would be nice if I could keep all the apps + the fact that it would be a jailbreak which stays when I shutdown and restart my iPod.
Thanks!
Ps. It's a 3th gen MC model

Your list is a great start. If you master those things, you'll have some very valuable skills.
Keep it up!!
Thanks! I sure hope so, I was looking at a monster of a Javascript book the other day... got a bit of a challenge ahead of me, but I have liked coding so far.
I got my development job from learning PHP, once you start being able to hook into databases and write "real" functions (something that imo javascript isn't much good for) then you can do some really cool stuff :)
Just out of curiosity I was looking at job listings for web development and most of them listed PHP as something they wanted people to know, so I figured it was something I should be learning. Thanks for confirming that!

Hi
I'm having the following problem:
My macbook sometimes suddenly goes to sleep when connected to an external monitor/screen (connected via. mini-DVI to DVI).
I have set the Energy saving-preferences to "Never go to sleep", but it stills happens sometimes.
Any ideas of what might be causing it?
