Adobe CS5 Photoshop Classroom in a Book should show you the basics
shows more than the basics! I got this book for Christmas and it is fantastic. Very easy to follow and if you want to learn specific features it is easy to jump around from section to section.
Classroom in a Book +1 here!

It's real retro, yet people are developing OS X drivers for it.

The NX bit in AMD K8 CPUs and Execute Disable bit in Intel CPUs are there to prevent buffer overflow exploits.

Thank you for the link! :)
So it says it's on the Pentium 4 line, and I'm assuming it's on the Pentium M as well? Is it on current Celerons?
Interesting that it is not supported by the latest Win2k. I guess that actually is one of the first relevant reasons to upgrade to XP! :eek: :o

I like the mba, but they are so god awful slow. Maybe im just used to fast computers but no way i could use current gen of mba. Maybe next time but 6 year old tech is a bit to old for me.There are quite a few know-all heads on here who will disagree with you and tell you you are in the minority and call you a spec freak.
The SSD and form factor is the selling point of the current MBA. For most people's uses it's ok, or even "faster than their other macs" as they claim, people selling their iMacs and going MBA only and what not.
I understand it's "cool" and "wow" and turns heads (who doesn't want to show off with a cool gadget after all) and it gets the basic job done. My claim is that the 11" MBA is not significantly faster in loading applications than my iMac and awful slow in processor intensive tasks. The system startup showdown is basically useless demonstration - how the system performs afterwards is more important. What's important also is that it works for a large number of people.
The rest of us who form "the minority" and need greater power in that small package should drink a glass of hot water. We are not catered for. Yet.

I really can't wait for this marvel.
It is quite nice the hear the coming features. However I find that it kinda kills a little bit the wow effect and the Apple culture when people always try to find out what the next apple's products look like.

i had an apple bt mouse... sold it only because i had no more bluetooth module, anyway. i used it for about a month before it was sold and i have never replaced the factor supplied energizer batteries, not to mention it was the best mouse i have ever had, but it was only one button, and man i hate that. if they just put a scrolling device on there it would be the greatest thing ever.

The only ones who even remotely have iWork tagged as an office competitor are those hardcore mac users despise anything that doesn't have the Apple logo on it. It is a consumer application. If iWork is not shipped with every Mac, nine times out of ten they're going to buy some version of office because that's the standard that everyone knows. I used Claris then Appleworks until it got too far behind pretty much because it came with my Mac.
Nonsense. Pages is perfectly capable of serving as a everyday word processor outside of "consumer" environment, and Keynote whacks the poop out of PowerPoint for presentations.

Posting here has gotten me 3 times the interest a classified did.
Im down!
Oh wait..I cant work and I cant drive. Damn my age!
Anyway man, to be honest, I think you should really be advertising in the Union Tribune Classifieds or something like it. Posting on a multinational Mac forum wont really get you much.

Hi all,
Here's a little back story about my setup, you can probably skip if you don't want to read it:
-----
I recently bought my first macbook pro, 13" 2011 model. I'm a windows developer so I needed to run windows on it, so what I did was put an OCZ Vertex 2 SSD in the optibay and installed windows on it, and cloned my OSX from the 5400RPM drive that comes with the macbook onto a new 500gb 7200RPM drive. So I have two separate drives for the two separate operating systems.
I had all sorts of trouble setting this up, because the 2011 MBP's don't boot from USB, I had to take my SSD out of the optibay and replace the DVD Drive, put the SSD in the main bay, install windows then swap it back.
-----
It mostly worked though, I could swap between the OS's using bootcamp, or reefit - both worked. However last week all of a sudden I just couldn't boot into windows, I got a black screen with a blinking cursor. As this is my work PC, and my superdrive was at home, I couldn't boot from a windows disk to do a startup recovery. I wasted a day trying to workout how I could repair this from within OSX, mostly screwing around with vmware/parallels to try get it to run a repair from a windows disk to no avail. I went home, swapped the drives again, and ran the repair.
However now my boot camp won't work, I have to use reefit to open up windows when I want to boot. Occasionally it just won't boot from reefit at all either. I tried going into boot camp assistant but there is no way to repair the boot camp partition without wiping the drive, which is a pain.
On top of this, I've got a number of other problems:
- Windows on my SSD won't hibernate or sleep without crashing windows. Is this normal? is there a way to fix this?
- I now can't set it to boot into windows by default.
- On some networks (ie at uni) when I swap from mac to windows, it wont let me join the wifi network, I'm guessing this has to do with mac addresses and security? Has anyone else come across this issue?
- battery life is pretty average on both operating systems, more so on windows, is there any enhancements to windows other than what you would normally do on a laptop?
I really need to get a reliable system setup, I can't afford to go into work and have my laptop not boot into windows. Can anyone give me some advice? Should I try taking an image of windows and setting up the boot camp partitions again on the SSD? Or perhaps I need to just shell out for a 256gb SSD and put both windows and osx on that...

For which system?
Also the reason for the M rating should be listed on the game. Your parents can decide what they think is appropriate for you based on the content, and not just the rating. If they are worried about you seeing nudity or sex, then you should stay away from Bioware games.
There is nudity in Bioware games? I've seen the illusion of sex, where they "do it" but you don't see a thing, and no nudity (Mass Effect, DAO)

Myself and a couple of others had this problem recently; my fix was to turn Bluetooth on/off using Bluetooth File Exchange (have a look at this thread (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=161150)).

Sorry I was half asleep when I wrote this�
There is a network in place that looks like it was put together by 8 year olds. We have routers that are somehow being used as switches� it�s a mess.
We don�t make that much use of the wired network to be honest. I would like to make more use of it, but, that is not really up to me. This was the first time that I had really looked at the network as it stopped functioning and I was asked to take a look at it.
At the moment there really are no services being hosted (unless you want to count a Time Capsule..), I would however like to add some security to the network, also a few services. Its about 30 computers, 20 phones, 10 misc.
I guess my question here is weather or not the AirPort really has the backbone to handle a network this large. When I have done networks this big I�m usually running it though a gateway to distribute DNS and IP�s to the network and not making use of dedicated router hardware (So I;m usually using an XServe or Mac Pro in place of a router)�
So do you guys think that I need to convince the board here to upgrade to better hardware of should what we have be good?

Anyone who for some reason doesn't understand resolution independence just needs to know one thing: there isn't a downside. Don't worry about it. A lot of computer games are resolution independent these days (including the UI) and nobody freaks out about that, eh?

I would imagine that the internet will present it's share of problems. Having the OS scale won't solve the problem of everything on the internet being 72 dpi. Yes, we can scale the text, but I'd imagine it will still be a huge mess once they start cranking up DPIs on the monitors.

What's a modem? :)A device used to turn a digital signal into an analog signal for transmission over phone lines, and capable of reversing the process.
Sort of pointless step now that most phone lines are now digital between cities, and only analog between the phone and the nearest phone packet transmission device.

Sounds like a lot of us are waiting for a serious MBA update in terms of Sandy bridge etc.
Hope it comes before the end of the year. Summer would be nice, I'll get it with my iPhone 5.
