I don't think anyone actually thought TiBooks/iBooks would be updated at Paris...
the only hints have been low powerbook supply reports (which are nonspecific), and a competely BS report about dual G5's via reader email at MacBidouille.

for the longest while i've been using my g5 tower as my media player connected to my tv. it sorta got the job done, but it takes up a bunch of space, doesn't really handle hd material very well, and osx isn't really an interface designed to be used from the couch.
so i started to wistfully consider the "it only does everything" marketing of the ps3. i don't have a blu ray player or a modern gaming system (last i owned was super nintendo, yeahh!!!), and it sounded like it could also replace the clunky functionality of the g5.
after finally deciding to splurge on one over the holidays, i'm finding that i'm having some buyer's remorse, but i'm not sure if its just because i'm not doing things properly. here are my issues:
-the web experience is *awful* - i don't know how apple can be slammed so much for eliminating flash from their devices when almost every video site i visited on the ps3 was non functional... from vimeo, to an hd-less and horribly low-bitrate version of youtube, to any network sites that would have streaming episodes of their tv shows just showing a black screen where video content would have gone.
-netflix is useless in canada (this is less a ps3 issue but definitely detracts from its value). i knew their selection was limited, and $8 is pretty cheap for all you can watch, but there's not much there i *would* want to watch.
-streaming downloaded content from sources like other computers is terribly limited. i was fortunate enough to have a western digital mybook world that has a build-in media server which works well enough, but from the sounds of things accessing content from a macbook or even the g5 would be a headache and might require paid software.
overall i don't want to slam the ps3 as i'm sure its a great game system and blu ray player, and maybe those will be reason enough to keep it... i had just hoped for more in its media streaming capabilities, and i don't know if i'm overlooking some good work arounds, or if sticking with the g5 for those tasks really is the better solution.

Hi,
I need a REALLY cool iphone case. Kinda like the Switch Easy stuff, just a little thinner. Thanks!
Have you looked into the switcheasy Naked? It is a switchasy itself and one of the thinnest cases ever.
Problem is like most plastic cases, it will look like it went through war after just a few weeks of use.
If you don't like that one what switcheasy case you like so I can see If I know of a similar one that is slimmer.

OCZ PCIe SSD. 1TB storage @ 1.4GB read and write speeds.
Price? Only $4400
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227517
I've been researching some of the OCZ PCI solutions (much cheaper of course) and I doubt I will be able to boot in Mac Pro with that card, is that true ?

A simple solution to running a console app in the background would be to use GNU screen.
Install darwinports (make sure you update .profile to include $PATH:/opt/local/bin and stuff like that) and simply do `sudo port install screen', then
screen command-line-app
and simply close the window. if you want to check on it later, simply type in `screen -r'.
Ctrl-C while in the session to kill it. Useful for other things like irssi, compiling things in the background that will take a while, etc.

folder enhancer is pretty nice
Which one is the best? There are three that I can see. Free, 99�, & $1.49.
My favorite is NoLock. I do not have to swipe to turn my ipad or iphone on. VERY cool. To me, this one app is the single main reason to JB. Apple should give us the option to swipe or not...it's a fundamental flaw IMHO.
Sbsettings, as others have mention, is indispensable, if only for the quick access to brightness. Also, to 2x tap the status bar to switch programs is critical to avoid using the annoying home button popper.
Infinidock is awesome.
MyWi - pretty obvious how important it is to share my signal with my other devices.

It is the unibody MacBook. Will it hurt anything to try installing it?
I believe your macbook uses ddr2 memory,whereas the newer MBP's use DDR3. There is difference in voltage requirements for those two standards. You can install it in the macbook, it just won't boot, but you won't damage anything.
Why are you trying to do this in the first place?

Thanks for the info!
It is a new permanent color! :)
I think those Amazon resellers didn't get the memo on it yet.
I feel sorry for people who are going to pull a "PS3" and buy one to try to sell on eBay as "Limited" - or maybe even more so for the people fooled into buying from them...

Sorry, if this thread seems repetitive with the other case threads out there, but I thought my question deserved a separate thread because I am asking specifically about SwitchEasy cases.
I have just ordered a Verizon iPhone 4 and am trying to choose between the SwitchEasy CapsuleRebel, TRIM, and Vulcan cases:
CapsuleRebel: http://www.switcheasy.com/products/CapsuleRebel_iPhone4/CapsuleRebel_iPhone4.php
TRIM: http://www.switcheasy.com/products/TRIM/TRIM.php
Vulcan: http://www.switcheasy.com/products/Vulcan_iPhone4/
I have a RebelTouch for my 2nd generation iPod Touch and I like it a log, except that it doesn't fit perfectly. It protects my iPod, which I drop all the time. I expect that I will drop my iPhone and so will need to have it adequately protected, especially because it has glass on both the front and the back.
Unfortunately SwitchEasy does not provide dimensions, but I would like it to be as thin as possible while still fully protecting the phone.
Does anyone have experience with any of these cases and have any suggestions?
I know that the volume buttons are in a slightly different location than the AT&T iPhone and so am wondering how this works with the cases, as they are designed for both phones. Do the cases line up exactly as they should?
Also, if it is easy to take on and off without damaging the phone or the case that is a plus as I plan to run with my iPhone and will probably need to move it between the case and a running armband.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not being snotty...
I'll be snotty for a moment...
Designers can get overly focused in on fonts. I know, because I was once. I have spent waaay too many hours searching through font libraries, trying to find the perfect typeface for this project or that. All the while creating crappy design because I wasn't paying enough attention to the hierarchy of information, letter spacing, kerning, leading, composition, scale, contrast, rhythm, color scheme, negative space, photo selection, or photo color correction. There are so many more important aspects of design than font choice. I could design with nothing more than Helvetica and still create compelling design.
My suggestion... get yourself a handful of workhorse typefaces, and work on those other aspects of design. It will do far more for your work than the latest font ever could.

I just started to back up when I installed lion
A backup of what exactly?...
Why not use Finder to just backup all your files and folders you are interested in, then reinstall Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and then get back the files and folders you were interested in from the backup you made before you reinstalled Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard?

so, since you own it how do you feel about it? What was the last mouse you used and how does it compare? What is your honest opinion about its battery life and tracking ability? What mouse pad are you using if its something other than your normal average joe mousepad.

wow, thanks for that. :)
Good suggestions, I suppose I got stumped for that (colour) as well. The full-colour version looked almost too saturated and and the purely black/white looked too plain. I kinda went with a cross between the two and it came out more sepia-ish.
B+W with red toe-nails?? I'm sure you could PS that without a re-shoot.
What are we talking about, you're going to win anyway.

If your miniDV has RCA inputs(red/yellow/white), plug VHCS player in, make miniDV dups and transfer to computer via firewire. If your miniDV doesn't have RCA inputs your out of luck without buying more equipment.
This is assuming your using a MAC, some PC laptops have RCA in.

people aren't answering you because you should just do what the other person suggested. stop being stubborn and take it into apple care
There could be other reasons its only working after a restart... That's why I was looking for another answer besides one reply...
So unless you have no input be on your way..
What if I needed my computer and couldn't have it gone for a week for some ****** superdrive...
It's pretty pathetic I pay 1000+ for this Macbook, and a month later the cheap ass cd drive fails.
