Well duh! Consoles aren't really handheld's rival. You expect that it will be the better gaming ability.
But handhelds have their purpose too. Entertainment where you can't carry a tv and console around. On airplanes, going on vacation where it's just not practical to lug a whole console around (especially considering airlines are tightening allowances for luggage), when you're waiting for something somewhere away from your home (like at a doctor's office).
Consoles shouldn't even be discussed in this discussion. That is like comparing apples and oranges, they really have no bearing in this at all.
The iPad is a direct competitor to consoles.
I plug it into my TV, grab my iPhone, and play games till I die ;)

Thanks James, aka Eaton Photos. I cannot believe how many hard drives you have filled in a modest amount of time! It appears that I need to modify my HDD setup and backup plan, as I did not "factor in" a massive expansion when contemplating my HDD setup and backup plan. I thought I was being overzealous planning the use of one HDD.
You must have tens of thousands of photos, but your point being that one's photo library can grow extensively in a fairly limited amount of time and one should plan accordingly, noted!
I am reading about the different RAID arrays and which one's purpose is required for certain situations. I thought RAID was overkill for my needs, but I may be mistaken. Thank you Sir for sharing your knowledge! The photographers are quick to share knowledge and provide advice. :cool:
Well, I have learned a ton and I have to modify my plan in order to build the system I have envisioned.
Keep in mind that Mr. Eaton is a professional. He shoots with a full frame camera that yields large file size images. Think about what you are going to be doing with photography before you jump into all this. The setup you are thinking of buying - the Mac Pro - is easily expandable. If you start with two drives, you still have room for two more. I have a MBP that came with a 250Gb drive. That was good for a year before I upgraded it to a 500 Gb one. The old drive is in an external enclosure and serves as a photo backup of my Aperture file vault. I have a 1TB external drive for Time Machine, and that backs up everything on my system. This is my hobby and I probably shoot around 200 images in an average month, more during good weather. I have a Canon XSi and will move to a 7D in a year or so.
Just my 2k worth.
Edit: My advice is to not configure your setup as an end all right out of the gate. Storage technology is rapidly evolving, and what you dump all that money on may be obsolete in two years. Thunder Bolt will lead to fiber optics being standard and solid state drives will replace disc drives before you know it.

But you know the more you try to erase it.... the more

Also, what exactly is 'innacurate' with my thread?
Well, considering you don't seem to understand that once your income is taxed, it is yours to keep, until you choose to spend it, at which time you might owe sales or use taxes.
Your fundamental misunderstanding of how taxes work makes this poll silly. You think taxes are imposed on what you've earned, when point of fact, the cost of doing business (i.e. earning money) is the tax rate, and you get to keep everything post-taxes.
I'm not aware of any income "tax" on your accumulated wealth. Any such tax would not be an "income" tax.
Exactly, taxes are the price you pay for living in a stable society, therefore those who society has allowed to become rich owe some of that back to society in order to give other people the chance to succeed.
And 5P, if people are really able to become wealthy without government providing regulation and a stable, secure environment then why doesn't Somalia have any Billionaires? It's basically your no government paradise.
Actually, I don't care how much money they have after taxes, or if they are able to accumulate billions, but I think those who have high incomes, should pay a higher tax rate, and I think we need to reform our estate tax system to eliminate the floor (or dramatically reduce it), and increase the tax rates to something closer to ordinary income.

Actually I think that all intel macbooks ( including pro) 's airport card is 802.11g and draft N... the problem is that they cant advertise it, because n is still in draft status at IEEE... so you can't really say hey this is an N... because N doesn't really exist as a satandard ( making a standard is a lenghty process takes about 5 to 6 years for the whole process...) if anyone has a draft n wifi router, please try and check the conection speed on you mactel macbook.. would be good to know if this is just a rumor, or if its really a fact.. i know i read it before buying my blackbook.. but alas.. i dont have a n draft router...
Now movie store... still not reallyinterested until prices for internet access at those speeds drop here in venezuela... for a 1mb conection we still have to pay about 40 $ , if you are lucky to get the provider that gives this for that price, if you are not ( which is my case) then you have to spend about 180$...
so, its really exiting to see movies and itv.. but need better conection and a good tv..
now the shuffle is really great looking although i was disapointed, i wanted to see a6g ipod.. touchscreen, bluetooth, makes coffe in the morning etc..
but well will wait till december, if no 6gipod is out, then i might get me a shuffle...
also.. ILOVE WHITE IPODS>>>.. WHY THE HECK DID THEY TAKE THE WHITE NANO OFF THE LINE..... DAMN...
well trying to watch keynote right now... just read it in live text feed as it happened here on macrumors ( who btw made a big mistake with the newipod sizes... they said 60gb for 249$ and 80 gb for 350.. when we all know that its 30 and 80.. just look at the big presentation behind jobs.)

So I am using redsn0w and I checked install Cydia and change my baseband to iPad for the unlock but as I follow the directions on iClarified, I get to holding down the home button and then it says "fetching iPad firmware" and then it ends. Any idea why that is?
Did you download Ipad 1 firmware 3.2.2 onto your PC?

Just an update......... it worked for me in my hotel room !
Unfortunately two issues
It takes anywhere from 1 to 10 tries to make it connect
And
My hotel wireless is too slow to keep a channel without skipping (but that is not the iPads fault)
So thanks for the help by the way !

That's a personal choice. Your definition of in depth is subjective. Mileage may vary.
That's fine, your not/no longer a gamer. What you do is called killing time.
That is what gaming is ;). Sorry, but uh, gaming is killing time. You really think you do something productive when you game? No, you do something fun that you enjoy in your spare time. And if it isn't your spare time.. then you're going to find it hard to pay your bills in the real world if you are so addicted to gaming you are doing it rather than the stuff you *need* to do (like go to work).
A sad possibility. Touch will never equal tactile feedback.
Depends on what you are talking about. RPGS like final fantasy? Sorry, really don't need tactile controls for that. In ways, touch is better cause you don't have to go scrolling for the command you want, you can instantly touch what you want to do.
Honestly, we can take your argument further. Your console games suck cause they don't have enough controls like a computer game does. For example try doing a realistic flight sim on a console? Ain't going to happen. You need a lot more ability to do a lot of commands (and quickly, not just scrolling through), something having a keyboard with a lot more ways to have different commands, gives you. I'm actually amazed some one did a decent flight sim (of course it has the same problem as consoles do, but actually if I were on a bigger screen like an iPad, it probably could be better than consoles cause they can just have you touch the controls on the "dashboard" giving you more options to control than a controller with limited buttons. So once again, touch screen is better than a control pad, but only if you have enough real estate on that touch screen).
Of course, for some games, the controller on a console is better cause you do want some simplicity. And then there are games like racing games where sorry, your controller SUX! I'll take my iphone's tilt control on a racing game over a frikkin d-pad or joy stick. Of course, the best for that is an actual steering wheel and pedals :).
What type of control is best depends on the game ;). You can't just generalize here and you're being very short sighted if you think the controller is a end all be all and that there aren't things touch screen is better for.

Man, am I glad that I didn't get stuck on this Official Waiting For... list.
Got my ACD in August and have been loving every minute of it. My regular old iSight works fine (and plugs into the back of the monitor). The screen is magnificent and performs beautifully.
What is it that you guys are praying for in an update?
Sure, panels are going to improve but unlike when a computer receives a major architectural update (as with Penryn and even more so with Nehalem), Apple just silently updates their screens all the time. The only major shift that I can see will be when the ACD goes LCD (I don't see that coming too soon for the 30") or perhaps when they introduce an even bigger display at an even bigger price.
So what is it that you all are waiting for? Dive in. The water's fine.

Try putting a space between the quote after .jpg and the word "border." (<img src="ACR_updatedmap.jpg"border="0" usemap="#Map">) There should be a space there. I don't know if this will solve the problem, but it may. Safari is usually a lot more forgiving than other browsers about little errors.

Anyway, what should my next step be? Where would I find firmware updates that old? :p This compu will be worthless for me if I can't upgrade it to OS X, Classic is dead.
Apple's website will have them. But they have to be done in 9.2 or 9.1 IIRC... not OS X, and not sure about OS 8.6.

To the best of my knowledge, that's not how Spotlight works. It indexes on the go such that if you make a new file, save it and quit, it'll instantly be in Spotlight. It doesn't go through and reindex periodically.
More likely, they're just random computer processes that are keeping the hard drive running. I think you're right in assuming the drive is fine, but keep regular back ups all the same, irrespective of clicking noises. :)

It is really simple...it doesn't cost $170 and does not involve quite as risky behavior. :eek:
It also can't, and won't, unlock iPhones...UltraSn0w is only good up to baseband 5.13.x on 3GS and 1.59.00 on iPhone 4. Particularly for the latter, you only have 2 choices if you have a newer baseband. The SIM interposers (Gevey, Rebel, etc) or this method. I'm inclined to lean to this method as the interposers are rather expensive (Rebel is nearly $80) and can be a PITA. This is pretty seamless and painless, except for the upfront cost.
If they're able to keep this up I expect the price to drop considerably.

(heheheheheheh i have always wanted to say that)
since there will never be a powerbook G5 enjoy the waitYes, definitely wait for the PowerBook G5.
>fiftyfive
Don't you read any of the recent new from Apple?
Like the switch to Intel in 2006 -- which would make a PowerBook G5 as likely to be introduced as Pauly Shore being elected President.
