As for other people problems, not really. They alone time I had a problem was during the iPhone 4 launch when a bunch of people drove by and taunted everyone because they pre-ordered and got it in the mail earlier.
Oh, sorry about that ;)

1080p/24 video from the EOS 7D is about 48Mbps, or 6MB/sec. That should give you an idea of how fast of a card you really need for using the camera in video mode. Although it is nice to have a card with fast read speeds when it's time to dump the card.
The ultra-fast CF cards (like UDMA 6) are mostly only necessary for still photographers that quickly shoot using fast cameras in RAW format, where individual images can be 30MB+ and their recording delays need to be a fraction of second.

i picked it up about a month ago and am very happy that i did. i played a lot of Metal Slug as a kid and it was always one of my favorite games. I also absolutely love the artwork, but i also love the comedy thrown in as well. i'm happy that they have unlimited continues but i also like the ability to limit your continues so you can test yourself because the Metal Slug series is freaking HARD.

What can we expect for price ranges, is the yonah going to be more expensive for apple to buy and integrate than the ppc?
And I would assume there would be a jump in prices to begin with, being a new- top of the line product. Or am I crazy..

1.0.2 version is out
Has anyone tested it to see if it works on VPN or not? I'm not at home so I don't want to update from work and not be able to watch TV the rest of the day.

Yeah, this joke has been around forever. It originally was used when Windows 95 first came out. It isn't technically valid for NT, 2000, XP, or Vista. Those are just 32-bit (or 64-bit) OSes by a 2 bit company. :-D

ARC-1880LP
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Areca/ARC1880LP/
You don't need to worry about Low Profile versions for the Mac Pro, so others are viable options (say the ARC-1880i all the way to the ARC-1880ix24).
ATTO Technologies is another company to look into (both offer 6Gb/s, bootable in BIOS and EFI based systems, work in multiple OS's, and have additional features not found on other cards). But ATTO's products are more expensive (good if you're new to hardware RAID controllers, as they're located in New York State so the Support Staff speak English natively), and on some models, Areca has an advantage (namely those that use a DIMM slot for the cache - none of ATTO's products do).
Areca's support staff do speak English (phone or email), but it's a 2nd language (based in Taiwan). So deciphering their response can be challenging at times.
Or is there more sata/power connectors there or can I buy/connect more?
The 2009/10 systems use a single backplane connector per ODD bay, so you'd need to use a Y splitter off of that (example (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10226&cs_id=1022604&p_id=5184&seq=1&format=2) if you don't need to retain the data signal off of the ODD backplane connector).
If you do need to retain the data connection, there's a way to do that too, but it will take a bit of effort on your part (means getting a couple of off the shelf cables and splicing the power wires together <backplane extension cable (http://industrialcomponent.com/oem/sataext12.html) + SATA Y splitter>; no mods to the system, so your warranty will remain in tact :)).
With this card I can connect both the 4x 3TB HDD RAID5 volume and 2x 6G SSD (non-raid) to it at same time.
Yes.
You can run multiple arrays or arrays + single disks via Pass Through mode. You cannot run a JBOD (concatenation) + RAID simultaneously though (must select between RAID or JBOD mode).
Also does it get messy cable wise when you don't use the apple raid card and run the SAS expanders to the drives? How did you go about flashing the card to EFI firmware ?
SAS expanders are easy cable wise (and no different between any computer for the same configuration and equipment).
All of Areca's settings, including flashing the firmware, are done via a web browser (BTW, Safari tends to fail for this, so use another browser, such as Firefox).
If you chose an ATTO product, it installs it's own interface application.
Which other 6G RAID cards can you recommend that I can connect 4x HDD in RAID5 and 2x 6G SSD's (non-raid) to, if there's a good one that takes advantage of internal drive channels it would be a plus.
The only card that can use PCB traces with the HDD bays, is the Apple RAID Pro.
All 3rd party cards require an adapter, which you've found (maxupgrades.com adapter kit you located).
Care to post the instructions or link to the thread with details on flashing the Areca card that NANOFROG gave you?
See above.
The EFI firmware (EBC actually), can be found on the disk provided with the card, or on the support site (you will have to dig a bit, but it's there). Then install it via a browser (use Firefox, as there's been too many instances where Safari has failed - including multiple versions of it).
How many RAID volumes can you configure using the one Areca controller using the internal ports? I am guessing all drives that connect using the ( MiniSAS- SATA 4x multiplier). So for two internal 6G ports on the RAID controller (8 drives in any number of RAID configs). I want to run a 4x HDD RAID5 and 2x SSD's in non raid off the one controller. Maybe even go for the 1880-ix with external RAID support for a 3rd external RAID1 volume, all of the same controller. Wondering how much RAM I will need in this case, would 512MB default be enough you think?
The # of volumes = however many you want (all of the 1880 series can actually run 128 disks via SAS expanders). You can do this via an internal to external cable (http://www.pc-pitstop.com/sas_cables_adapters/8887-1M.asp) (stick to 1.0 meter with SATA disks, or it won't be stable). Or just use these cables for a 1:1 port to disk ratio if you wish in an external SAS enclosure.
Not sure if you're asking, but you're not stuck to even numbers once you exceed the minimum disk count (i.e. minimum for RAID 5 = 3 members).
512MB would be enough, as you're not using that many disks (only functional during writes, not reads). More can improve your write throughputs, but I'm not sure of your file sizes, or if you'll be adding more disks (via expanders or in a 1:1 ratio).
You could do without the RAID-card altogether and just install 4 drives in the bays in the Mac Pro and use the ZFS filesystem (http://code.google.com/p/maczfs/) to make a dynamic stripe in RAID-Z, so you will get RAID-5 like performance but with better protection and data integrity.
RAID-5 is prone to something called the "RAID-5 write hole" in case of a power outage, something RAID-Z specifically is designed to handle.
Just listing this as another option.
For software implementations of parity arrays, you're absolutely right. RAID 5 wouldn't be the way to go. But a hardware RAID controller has a hardware solution to the problem. :)
Funny thing, as I am running ZFS as we speak on my Mac Pro and several servers.
If you clicked the link I provided you could even download it and install it in Mac OS X ;)
Also ZFS is returning big time for Mac OS X come June/July with a full up-to-date implementation of ZFS, called ZFS-410 by Ten's Complement LLC (http://tenscomplement.com/).
Ironically, one of the engineers behind ZFS-410 was the technical lead behind the original HFS+ filesystem and one of the persons porting ZFS to Mac OS X until Apple ditched it. You can find a good read about it here (http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2011/03/how-zfs-is-slowly-making-its-way-to-mac-os-x.ars)

I had the mStand as well but as Knight mentions, it didn't suit the MacBook Air as good as it does with Apple's other MacBooks, so I let it go and just recently purchased the Griffin Elevator. I must say I really like this stand and its minimal approach matches the MBA aesthetics very well in my opinion.
Also, since it has a smaller incline than the mStand, your able to tilt your Macbook's screen further back.
Very nice and highly recommended.

i.e. Indie labels could set up within the online store and use the DRM...
the goal is to provide more content to consumers without destroying the experience.

I read here that many rave about the Otterbox Commuter. A hybrid case that has silicone.
When I look at the silicone, it is a bit softer than many others that I have seen.
What is the life of the silicone? Does it get stretched out? Does it tear? How about the polycarbonate...does it scratch or discolor (thinking of getting the white shell).
Thanks for your thoughts.
Otterbox has a guarantee. If you need a new silicon they'll send you a knew one no questions asked.
