Am I the only person around here who doesn't see an issue with scratches on this (or for that matter the current iPods)?
I know the plastic scratches, but does that honestly affect your use or viewing at all? The few scratches that are on my 5.5G iPod (and before that, my nano) have absolutely no effect on my viewing of the display whatsoever? If the backlight is off, or you hold it at a weird angle maybe, but otherwise who cares? Why do phones and iPods and other handhelds always have to look shiny new?
I personally scuff up my sneakers and jeans as soon as I buy them. Same idea here... I kinda like when stuff is broken in. Feels better to me. If it affected viewing in some way I would understand, but it really doesn't?

That would be nice, but it won't work, since people don't read instructions and continually post in the wrong forums, anyway. We could already fill a forum for speculations on the next MacBook/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air/iMac/Mac Mini/Mac Pro updates.
I agree. Every product would need their own speculation forum too or it would be a mess (and couldn't exclude the posts in Forum Spy). Mods are already have enough work with moving the current threads.
Trying to keep the discussion in one thread has been tried millions of times but it never works either.

I have the same problem! just took my G5 to the apple store and they tried alot of things... booted from an external by holding option... checked the drives, which were supposedly fine according to Disk Utility.
I figured it would either be ram going bad or the drives. so I've switched out the drive and all the ram, and tried to run it off of a friend's drive, but I get a (no smoking logo without the cigarette) in place of the :apple: when booting . I'm guessing it is because the OS installed on the hardrive is 10.6 and thus not supported by the PPC G5.
Now I'm waiting for the disks to get here to troubleshoot with those.
Any ideas guys??

You better get a firm grasp on SQL Server as well. SQL Server and Oracle do not function the same way, such as number of connections should you use, how indexing works, etc.
Of course, if your app only needs to scale to a hundred users or so, then you may be okay with skimping on the database end.

Over the course of time, mobiles will displace consoles.
We can already mirror the iPad 2 onto HDTVs. Not the best news for dedicated consoles. It's not perfect, but it's a powerful portent. Dedicated devices (as opposed to convergence) are destined to DIE.
iCal this. Then in 2-3 years revisit this comment and be astounded.
Consoles are not going to die. They're now the driving force behind gaming. They're even holding back PC games now, because Game developers want to maximise profit, by making sure their games can run on consoles. This prevents them from pushing the game to it's limits. Because they'd spend loads of money and only be able to run it on high-end PC's. PC Gaming is the one that's getting smaller.
Gaming is now worth more than movies and music, plus consoles don't just do gaming. My Xbox plays my games, connects me with my friends, we're usually in an 8 player voice chat party together so we can chat, and play separate games if we want. I video chat on MSN on my xbox, I rent 1080p movies on it from Zune sometimes, or just sometimes play a DVD on it. Usually it'll be running Media Center, streaming all my music, movies and photographs from my Laptop.
Physical controllers will always make better controllers for most games, minus a few exceptions like Monkey Ball and perhaps racing games, but then the more realistic gaming like Forza or Gran Turismo will require physical controllers, imagine having to look away from the screen to check where handbrake, or the gearstick was on the screen, and when you look back up, you've collided into a wall.
Touchscreen controls on a FPS are just plain horrible. And in terms of performance, portables will always remain behind dedicated consoles because they need to stay light, and obviously portable. Plus battery life would be dire if they crammed it with cutting edge video cards and processors.
And local multiplayer just would not work, sometimes when I don't want to play online, my friends might come over, and we'll play a 4 player race on Forza, or maybe Call of Duty/Halo.
Plus consoles are cheaper than the iPhone and iPad. (carrier subsidised cost plans don't count in this)
I'm not saying portables with a touchscreen are terrible devices, just that consoles are not going to die. And be replaced by portables. All I see is iOS grabbing a bigger share of the portable Market.

Well what they did was basically add more gestures. I've heard that people noticed that the gestures feel more fluid, but I haven't noticed that.
For instance you can now swipe up with on finger on an icon in the dock to do an 'application expose' and see all the window for the app. Which is quicker than holding down a click on a dock icon in Snow Leopard.
Another addition is that you can now swipe to different spaces. And by swiping to with 2 fingers left or right. And you can also double tap with 2 fingers and you'll invoke mission control.
So I guess that's what they meant by it.

In my experience, I have found this works best.
1. Put tape on the top corners so you have something to grab.
2. Tape the corners to the back of the phone/ipad
3. Grab the other end and pull tight
4. With a ruler slowly start at the top and press downward to apply the screen protector on the device evenly
5. Using the ruler again, work the bubbles out from top to bottom

Sorry to bump, but couldnt anyone help me?? someone must have tried RAM with heatsinks on there mac mini...The problem is so much RAM these days ships with the heatsinks fitted,
SHadOW
Three answers:
1) Don't do it, there isn't room physically
2) Any RAM you are considering buying with heatsinks is, by definition, not RAM sold with a guarantee of Mac compatibility. No Mac RAM is sold with heatspreaders. Buy from a reputable dealer who guarantees compatibility with the Mini. Don't put in random PC memory.
3) If you already have a piece of RAM that you are bound and determined to try then just take off the heat spreader - it's like, a $2 piece of aluminum held on by two spring clips... :rolleyes:

Thank you for the quick response, Night Spring.
You were right - the only choices are to stay at 3.2 or update to 4.3.2.
However, iTunes would not let me restore from my 4.3.1 backup unless I update to 4.3.2. I guess that's logical since the newer 4.3.1 ver would have certain features (like folders) that are not supported by the older 3.2 ver hence the need to update first.
On that basis, I decided to take your advice and update to 4.3.2. Was stumped for a while when I encountered a "3194 error" but later was told by the service centre that it could be caused by Apple's server being shut-down (seems it happens on Sundays in particular). All's resolved now and I am currently doing the restore from my back-up.
Thanks again for the help! Now for the hopefully not-too-long wait for the untethered jb!

That's nothing to do with built-in versus external flash.
Essentially you need to select the dark areas and lighten them, and probably fiddle with the colouring a bit. You could try cloning but they're quite large areas.

All these crazy profits quarter after quarter, and they can't lower the prices...
Unreal greed.
Why would they lower prices when they have a hard time keeping products on the shelves. If you want lower prices, people need to start buying less.

I havent gotten my ipod yet.. but i will be soon, so i am trying to upload my CDs on my powerbook in itunes. I was wondering if someone could explain to me what apple lossless is in general terms and how it works? I am still kinda new to Macs so could you explain it fully. I noticed that after I imported my CD, I would go to the advanced menu in itunes and selected convert to apple lossless... it then converted my files. I went into my music folder that holds all my files and i see that i have 2 of everything I converted with apple lossless. The file extentions are the same sooo... what is going on here. I would like to know also if converting my songs to this format will allow me to have more room on my ipod???? What is the positive and negatives of this converting? I just need someone to explain this whole apple lossless idea to me and what it does. Thanx in advanced! ;) :)

Thanks everyone to help me with my case selection.
I purchased an Otterbox Commuter and it has been great. First few days the edging of my wet applied screen protector started slightly to come up....but I would just get the bubble out and it would adhere without any marks or distortion. Then after the Otterbox silicone broke in, it no longer was causing an issue.
I like how the poly carbonate shell is holding and firming up the silicone. And the little bit of silicone that is showing gives the impression that it will protect the phone in a drop.
I like the Commuter. Thanks.

iMovie probably isn't the best choice for this. Because the movie file is already 'mixed down' it's hard to separate sounds, but it might be possible to minimise the unwanted sounds
If you can get the audio into an audio editing programme like Audigy or Logic I have the following thoughts:
1 - Stereo separation
Was the video recorded in stereo and where the people standing on opposite sides of the shot? If so you might find less of the unwanted voice in the left or right channel. You could therefore pan completely left at the point of the offending crossover, then bounce the audio file as a mono file.
2 - Tone / Frequency
Are the voices different in tone? By using a very narrow parametric eq you may be able to dial out the words by reducing the gain on the frequencies of the unwanted voice. In MS Logic the EQ facility has a function which allows you to see the frequencies of an audio file graphically.
3 - Relative volumes
Is the unwanted voice quieter? If so a noise reduction plugin might work to reduce the unwanted voice further.
4 - Repeated words?
Is the problem word said somewhere else by the speaker? If so you might be able to cut and paste the word from another part of his speech over the unwanted interruption
5 - Generally removing the other voice
Where they are not overlapping it will be easier to remove the other voice, just use the audio editor's tools to silence the audio file when the other person is talking
Once you've done all your audio editing you'll need to bounce and export the audio file then drop it back into iMovie, silencing the original sountrack.
Free tools you can use for all of this include Quicktime for separating the audio file, Audigy (for audio editing), or ideally Logic.

Whole disk encryption and ssd's do not match. Ssd's will become a lot slower when you fill them which is exactly what whole disk encryption does. Buying an ssd would be a waste of money, you're better off with a much cheaper hdd.
Eh, not entirely true in practice. I bit-locker by Windows drive on my laptop (SSD) and its still waaay faster then a traditional HDD.
There is also SafeGuard from Sophos that does full-disk on OSX.
