are the games getting better, though?
Yeah... I think they are and I think we'll see a huge evolution here as more and more companies see the opportunity.
Personally, I think companies like Nitendo should embrace this change as an opportunity and start porting popular titles to the smart phone platforms. Again, maybe not right now, but they should see that as a path they will have to take.
Along with this, baring any major changes in technologies like AppleTV or new products, I think the advanced game systems like Xbox, and Wii still have a market for the serious gamer.

There has to be some incentive to work harder. Taxing him at 50% or so would be OK though.
One thing I think no one talks about is how many perks wealthy individuals get from the government but don't have to pay for in proportion to what they use.
Being a billionaire makes you more and more reliant on a competent government bureaucracy that can keep monetary channels safe and secure, a strong police force to keep insurance costs down, and on the courts to hear the more voluminous litigation you're going to bring.
In another vein, and I hate to sound crass, if the FAA really messes up and a plane lands on me, the loss to me is much smaller than it is for Bill Gates. As a percentage of all economic damages that can occur if regulatory agencies fail, Bill Gates and those in his income and assets bracket represent far more than what they pay for in Federal taxes.
Shouldn't they pay more since they are capable? I mean we don't expect welfare recipients to pay for welfare because they don't have the income or assets to begin with. But why are we letting billionaires and those approaching billionaires get away with so much welfare? US income tax (and capital gains tax rates, which is really what a billionaire would pay) rates promote some pretty lavish welfare queens if you were to look at the amount of net benefit received.
I think it's also highly suspect that Bill Gates worked harder for his second $10 billion than his first.

Hello! I just started the Windows Gaming on a Mac FAQ. Find it here:
http://guides.macrumors.com/Windows_Gaming_on_a_Mac_FAQ
It seems like that there is a limit on the amount of content that can be added to an individual page. I looked through the help guide, but don't see what I need.
I'm taking a block of text from a text edit document. When I try to copy and paste it into the MacRumors Guide, it does not appear. This is after I've all ready added a lot of text, hence the "cap" question.
Can someone verify that the amount of text on a page has a cap? And if it does, how do you get around it. Can you add related pages?
Thanks!

I don't know if you are aware of this.... Can't you wait until June/July for the release of Final Cut Pro X (http://www.macrumors.com/2011/04/13/final-cut-pro-x-demo-nowhere-near-final-version-more-on-final-cut-studio-apps-coming/)? looking at the video demo (http://www.macrumors.com/2011/04/13/video-of-final-cut-pro-x-introduction-now-available/), it seem's awsome...
Not sure what shortcomings will the X version will have compared to the current FCP Studio, since the price difference is huge.
cheers!
Even though FCPX Was just announced there was no word on the other FCS apps....

for me it still loads Apple front web page, but it does stay iphone.org
Not sure if it did it before, but that is a fairly normal thing. There would be no reason to change it before hand if something was in the near future. These things can be changed on the fly. Probably meaningless.

I've recently noticed that the download speed for Apple updates is much lower than what I've used to get in the past, which was normally an excelent performance.
As you can see below, this is not a problem related to my connection:
http://www.speedtest.net/result/1192809291.png
For instance, when downloading the Java update yesterday and the iTunes update today, I got roughly 20% of my potential bandwidth...is anyone facing the same issue here in Europe or elsewhere?

Hey all,
My boss is having an issue with his MacBook and InDesign.
First off let me say that we have CS4 installed on both the aformentioned MacBook as well as a new iMac we purchased for the office. But here's the deal, as soon as we start up InDesign on the MacBook after JUST MOVING THE MOUSE i get the "color wheel" and it just FREEZES and it stays there for ever, i let it "load" for about 5-10, even 20 minutes!
So I updated the software on the MacBook, updated the software on CS4- still the same problem.
Then, I UNINSTALLED CS4 on the MacBook, then Re-Installed it, just to have the same exact problem.
All my CS programs work perfectly fine on our iMac, but JUST InDesign doesnt work on the laptop. PLEASE HELP :(
I guess my question is :
1) Has this ever happened to any of you?
2) Is there a common solution to this problem?
3) Is there a phone number i can call for trouble shooting Adobe products? (i cannot seem to locate one on my CS4 disc or case)
Thank you all in advance :)

You will be constrained by the through-put of USB with an external drive VM.
That said, you could put a VM instance on an external drive and run it from there.
Alternately just store the VM on the external, and move it to the SSD when you need it.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate on a 9 gig VM using 512K of memory...so you may not need as much SSD space as you think.
Of course, gaming will change this pretty fast.
Would it be better t o try and do this off of a memory stick? How many gigs would I need?
By games I'm talking about mostly casual games with small clients and low GPU usage...

Well, after about 18 hours, it finally gave up trying to download the 82 core and went on to a different WU that didn't require that core. It was definitely on Stanford's end. So, I lost a better part of a CPU-day. Oh well. Thanks for the interest, nonetheless.

This is the vulnerability those security pundits have been warning was coming.
What would I rather do: Hack into Apple's servers to implement a legally very dubious unlocking service for $170 (which is obviously highly overpriced, because Apple could do the same thing for free if they wanted to) that might open me up to litigation from Apple, or create a website that collects $170 a shot from gullible iPhone owners, do nothing, and run with the money?

wow, that explains your attitude then. Apple has never been interested in catering to technology fetishists like you, and never will be. why don't you go post constructive comments on Android forums instead of negative ones on Apple forums?
I'm fairly confident that anyone who owns an Apple product would disagree with you. Most would say they WANT the latest and greatest technology, but Apple doesn't make it available.
Don't be bitter.

But that's not the only way of doing it. An alternative is to take an OS like Mac OS 9, remove some of the unnecessary stuff, upgrade the GUI a little, and have Java and maybe CarbonLib. Very low on the resource requirements, very efficient.
Did You just use OS 9 and efficient in the same sentence? Why not use System 7? I would like it and I know dpaanlka would love it.

Who's the prick downrating your posts...?!
A friend of mine runs a small animation business. He does lots of rendering, which is apparently extremely CPU-intensive. If that's what you'll be doing, as DG has said, the i7 might give you something extra. But if you're working on stills, I think the i5 is fine.
i have no idea, that's weird.
about the rendering, i'm not working with animation or 3D so there will be no rendering. maybe just a little video with After Effects but just from time to time.. i don't really use it on a regular basis.
and thanks for your quick reply

When my old MacBook died, I was going to replace it with the 11" MBA, but after realizing how limited the HD was and how much it would cost me to get decent storage capacity for my pictures and music I decided to get a 13" MBP.
Yes, I've used the "superdrive" just once since I bought this computer, but I have a healthy amount of storage capacity, an SD slot and heck, I can even play some TF2, L4D 2 and StarCraft 2 (on mid settings) on my free time, for the same price of a 11" MBA with a 128 GB SSD.
I'm in no way a power user, but I like to take my stuff with me at all times. With my games, music, photos and a couple of other programs I have installed I would definitely be short of space with a stock MBA.
Until a ~250 GB SSD from Apple gets a fair price, or the 128 GB becomes the standard drive at just $999, I don't plan on buying a MBA. I like it, a lot, but the base model needs to improve its specs a little bit.

Yes but to a "capitalist" he thinks. If I invest my $10,000,000 here I will make a 1.5% return but if I invest it here I make 6%. Yes one percent of $10M is good money but if you are not making a competivie return then investors take their money and walk.
I used to work for Huges Aircraft company. It was a big aerospace company the made a pile of money and was owned by the Huges Medical foundation. Howard Huges set it up so that the profits from the company would flow into medical reasearch. Nice of him. But the medical foundation eventually decided they would make even more money if they sold the company and pt the money in the bank. They did just that.
