With Lion coming up in the Summer, should Apple offer free upgrades to customers who buy a Mac now? I say that as potential customers could be holding out on purchasing a Mac until the new OSX is released, wouldn't it be better to secure those as customers now and give them the Lion when it's available. I'm keen to get a Mac, I can wait but if I knew I was eligible to get Lion free I'd probably pull the trigger now.
I know a similar thing was offered to Windows users, a free upgrade to 7 when it was released.

You will not notice much difference, the Sony VAIO is just a little better. I would be careful in buying a VAIO, check the reviews on it. I was so convinced in buying one, but I read a review saying it has a faulty touchpad...

what would be the security problem?
No, you can turn it off normally. It's a security problem for some people to leave it on all the time.
Sorry I can't help with your problem though, but you should be able to turn it off.

If you are going for 2TB drives, the WD Caviar Green drives are among the favorites. It's been reported they have some issues regarding the high load cycle counts (http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&q=WD%20caviar%20green%20high%20load%20cycle%20count&cp=10&pq=wd%20green%20high%20load%20cycle%20count&pf=p&sclient=psy&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=WD+caviar+green+high+load+cycle+count&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=6cbe03e6833a46ef) due to the firmware...

It's a bit of work, but the high load cycle counts due to excessive head parking can be prevented.

hey 100Teraflops glad your getting some good advice, the good monitor is a must for photography, check the dell 2209wa (i think it's still about) or the HP 2310i, both nice monitors, but the internal raid i have is a software raid 1 mirror, works well for my needs. Are you really sure you want to wait for the 'latest' Mac Pro? do you need the latest chipset? there are plenty of great deals on used machines, ideal for photography, save the $$$ on the MP and spend the rest on some quality Lenses, I know a photographer that uses a G5 with no problems :)
remember as firestater states, raid is no back up plan, I use a raid 1 external system as it suits my needs.
Buying an older machine has crossed my mind. I will checkout the monitors, as I am not very picky, at least not yet. Thanks for clarifying your RAID 1 setup, as I am finally grasping the concept of RAID let alone when combined with the Mac Pro.
Also, I have not thought about a used Mac Pro from e-bay etc.., as an Apple refurb is nice, because I have a piece of mind with the warranty and I want to buy one-to-one in order to receive 'accredited' instruction pertaining to OS X, iLife, and all the included goodies. But you are right, I can save a lot of money and buy a camera, some glass, a case, and extra memroy cards on top of a Mac Pro. Food for thought!
I have to contact Apple regarding one-to-one, because I need to know if I can add it after my purchase. I know the web-site says something similar to this: "...with the purchase of a new machine...," but Apple reps have been known to bend the rules. ;) I want a 6 core or 8 core, but I am still thinking that a quad core will suffice for my editing, photography, and software needs. The difference between the aforementioned machines is measured by seconds, for the most part. Did I just talk myself out of a 6 or 8 core? :) Ultimately, I have to decide before Thunderbolt is replaced by Lightningbolt! LOL

I don't like it because it would require 2 hands to use.
I'll think, it will be a Creative video device that Apple manufactures. Windows users will like that stupid UI. Because they don't like the future video iPod, they'll by this thing like grazy and Apple gets the money.
That is the 200 million settlement.
My 2 cents :D

You can't see them, but on the bottom left and right corners, there are touch sensitive buttons.
I tried it at the Verizon store.
Buttons you say eh? Hmm :rolleyes:

I am speaking specifically about TRON Legacy here, although I suppose this question would also apply to other movies that share a similar situation.
Here's what I did: I used MakeMKV to rip my Blu-ray of TRON Legacy to an MKV file, and then I used Handbrake to convert that MKV file into an M4V file formatted specifically for use on my iPad (1024 x whatever, etc.).
Here's the problem: TRON Legacy STARTS out as a 2.35:1 widescreen movie, but during various scenes in the movie, it SWITCHES to a 1.78:1 (16:9) widescreen format which is what was used in IMAX presentations. It switches back and forth between these two formats. But because the movie STARTS in 2.35:1, Handbrake wants to rip the entire movie in that format and so it's 2.35:1 all the way through -- the 1.78:1 scenes are being truncated at the top and bottom to fit that format. What I want to know is whether there are settings in Handbrake that will let me tell it, "Rip the movie so that it's 1024 pixels wide at all times, but vary the height as required by each particular scene."
Thanks for any help!

No offense, but you should be doing your own research. The idea of writing a research paper is to, you know, research. Asking people on a forum for sources is taking the lazy way out.

take it easy on them, they saved apple's ass in the 90's. if it weren't for them apple would have gone 'rupt. they also have to worry about a thousand different hardware configurations whereas os x 10 has to worry about the mac line.. give 'em a break. (not an ms fanboy) :mad:
yeah!
come to think of it, if it weren't for them and their illegal/immoral practices Apple would be at 90% and linux would be the underdog and there would be no Windows, so....
...errrr, hang on, what?

Right now in the iPad forum every other thread is another "what do you want to see in iPad 2?" thread.
Report them and suggest they be merged into each other. This method has been done several times ("I'm waiting for Arrandale"- ugh) with success.

I am part of a none profit organization and we want to send out an eNews Letter to people interested with our group. I'm in charge of getting this thing off the ground but I'm not sure exactly how to do it. What I want to do is send out an email with nice graphics, pictures, links, and so on and so forth; pretty much like the regular printed kind of news letter but through email. I guess a good example of the kind of news letter I'm talking about would be the ones Apple sends out. What do I need in order to do something like that? :confused:

I don't know specifically about the jailbreak but I'm guessing that if you go in to the Apple store for your broken home button, they will give you a different phone (refurb).
That may make this a moot question.
When the guy goes to get your new phone just say "hey man can you do me a favor? No 5K?". He'll get it. Worked for me last night. Got a nie new non-refurb phone.

Just want to say that if you are using CS5 I would not recommend the current Mac Mini - I just think it is too slow. At least if you are going to have a browser/code editor or whatever else open in the background too.
I have a laptop with a C2D processor and also run CS5 and multitask and it is definitely a bit on the slow side.
The processors in the current Mac Mini range are pretty rubbish tbh (especially for the money).
