indeed in china but not if all of them do it.
It does not have to be China, i am pretty sure i would sack everyone that worked for me if i was running a factory in the USA and get away with it. You just can't be so obvious about it.

I don't think it hurts that much. Or maybe I've just grown used to it. People compare the sensation to snapping a rubberband against your skin. That seems about right.
Last year I had my doctor start blasting another nearby tattoo -- one much smaller that I never had covered up. That one has been lasered four times, and it is almost gone. You know what they say..."results may vary".

I had the same problem, took it to the Apple store where they diagnosed it right away and fixed it at no charge, in about 45 minutes, while I waited.

Shortly after buying my Macally BTMouseJr, I raved about how great it was. Now, after 3 million batteries, I'm not so thrilled.
Brand new, top-quality batteries get sucked dry by this little gizmo after only a few days of regular use. The cheap batteries last only two days.
I'm definitely planning on buying some rechargeable batteries so I can afford to continue using the thing, but if I had known what an energy guzzler it was, I may not have bought it.
ALSO:
When using it with my Apple BT keyboard, the cursor jumps around the screen like a flea on crack.
Has anyone found a BT mouse that they really like?

He's thinking that the app checks if there is a VPN connection on the iPad. If the connection is done on an iPhone then tethered to the iPad it wouldn't see a VPN connection on the iPad.
So I had my friend try it and iphone doesn't seem to be able to connect to VPN and do mywi at the same time. VPN disconnects after mywi connects and won't reconnect after.
PPTP vpn on my android doesn't work with my firewall so i can't test it either

People who want an iPhone will buy an iPhone.
My point was - with either rumored scenario, it seems that 3GS owners looking for a upgrade are going to deal with more buyers remorse than normal.
Buying something 6+ months before the new version gets released is normally not an issue, so if a new iPhone comes out in Sept, I could reasonably get an iPhone 4 now and not be a "generation behind" so quickly. But if I were to get one now (expecting a Sept launch) and the new one comes out in June, that'll suck. But waiting till June just to find out the new one will be in Sept would also suck... There doesn't seem to be a way to "win" with this update...
The line about looking elsewhere comes from my phone seemingly deteriorating in front of my eyes and the need for an upgrade not being satisfied by Apple. I'm not a blind fanboy that HAS to stick with an iPhone - it's just been the best phone I've used for the past 4 years (user since 2G). But with this shift in the timeline, the "new phone every 2 years" turned into a "new phone every 28-30 months"? That's too long. My phone probably wont last another 6 months...

Just when i thought i was set on the Macbook Air, i checked out a review about the new Macbook Pro 13" and i realised how many bells and whistles, aswell as improvements, i can get, for possibly cheaper.
I'd be using my new mac for the usual, iTunes, Chrome, Safari, Word Processing, but most importantly, or the decisive fact, Photoshop and Illustrator CS5. Now from checking out mroogle, and Macrumors threads, i came to the conclusion that the MBA would be just about adequate for my needs. But then i realised how much more comfortable, and just for peace of mind, id be with a Macbook Pro. i think i went into buying an 11" ultimate for the wrong purposes.
My two options would be:
Macbook Air 11" Ultimate-
1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM
128GB Flash Storage
which comes to a grand total of 10648HKD/8,965.10 CNY/1,368.99 USD
OR
Macbook Pro base 13"-
2.3GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5
8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM � 2x4GB
320GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
SuperDrive 8x (DVD�R DL/DVD�RW/CD-RW)
which would come to a grand total of 10648HKD/8,965.10 CNY/1,368.99 USD
so for the same price i get double the RAM, some ridiculous amount of better processing power, which if im correct, is necessary for photoshop, aswell as is the RAM. I also get just under 3 times the storage capacity, which also adds to the peace of mind, plus i get a bigger screen size to work with.
Aswell as an SD card, thunderbolt, and disc drive.
What im losing is the SSD and thinness of the macbook air. The thinness isnt all that important, because i find the MBP to still be rather portable, and the SSD, whilst it is lightning fast and everything, it doesnt quite compensate for the processor difference.
i think im pretty much set on the MBP, and i know that i should buy aftermarket RAM, its just i dont know where to buy the screwdrivers, so if anybody could give me heads up to either a link for the screw drivers, and possibly RAM? that would be great!
Also, any recommended sleeves/ bags? i dont want to put a case, for i find them ugly, but a sleeve would be nice.
So do you guys think i should go MBP or MBA?
Am i missing anything?
If anybody wants to share their experiences between picking between the MBA or MBP feel free to share. I want to see what others think.
all the best,

Hello... First Post... Its a little long winded but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have a dedicated Power Mac G4 2001/2002 (733mhz 1.5GB Ram single processor) linked up to a specialist large format scanner. The G4 operates solely on OS9.2 as the large format scanners software can only work on OS9.2, but this G4 is starting to struggle, possible capacitor issues. I do not have the scanning software discs so am unable to install them onto another computer, and without this software and OS9.2 I would be unable to use my scanner, massive knightmare that I really want to avoid. Ideally I need to try and clone this G4 onto another G4. I have recently obtained a second Power Mac G4 (733mhz 1.5Gb single processor) but it is operating on OSX and does not have OS9 installed on it.
Q: Is it possible to clone my current Power Mac G4 (the OS9.2 operating system & its specialist scanning software) and make an exact clone onto the Power Mac G4 that currently has OSX installed on it?
I have never cloned a computer before, if the above is possible, then I would so greatly appreciate any step by step instructional advice on the above.
Kind Regards,
tea & cake

Mirrors my experience.
Nice link. Thanks. ;)
At my last job, we had a contract with Cingular. After seeing how they treated a client that spent almost $200k a year with them, I'd never use them. It was horrid. I can't imagine how they would treat someone who spent $1200 or less.
I've had Nextel since 2000, and I loved it. Note the keyword there? Loved.
I had Sprint before that, and finally got so fed up with not only their service, but their customer service as well. Made the switch, and was very pleased until a year ago. When they announced the merger, I almost threw up. Since they actually merged, it's been the same crap that I dealt with when I had Sprint. Screwed up billing, ungodly terrible support and customer service, you name it.
It's sad, but when I call them I can tell right off the bat if the person I'm speaking with was a Nextel employee or an original sprint employee. Yeah, it's that bad.
Prior to the merge, 495 of the Fortune 500 companies had Nextel. I wonder how many of them still do?
The only thing keeping me on it right now is free incoming calls. Since U.S Cellular has recently added this feature, I'm very tempted to switch. The only thing stopping me so far is I'm waiting to average up my mobile to mobile minutes. If they are doable without doubling my current bill, I'm all over it.
What does really interest me is if Apple would indeed end up providing access to mobile broadband in their line-up. That would be very, very nice to have since all the cards out there are for PC's with some flavor windows.
As for the whole iTunes integration, I'm with you on this. Carrier first, then the goodies.

In answer to his other question, whether the backlit keyboard will make a re-appearance in the next MBA ... I would say the jury is out.
Some are convinced there are technical reasons why the blk isn't in the current model, and those same reasons will prevent the inclusion of the blk in the next MBA.
I, on the other hand, along with others, don't agree with that assumption, and think there's a decent chance the next MBA will in fact have a backlit keyboard.
Yes, I agree. Like the lock switch on the iPad, this is frequently requested (according to this and other Mac sites).

i love macs i love the simplicity but theres nothing out there
that will topple microsoft office period.
As of now, you are correct.
However, don't forget Lotus 1-2-3, dbase IV and others had there day in the sun as well.
At this point, Apple does not need to "overthrow" Office, just provide as alternative.

I went to the 3G launch at cpw at teesside park. Queue was about 20/30 people at 7am. It opened at 8. If you know it it went from cpw down to brantano. Sold out of 16gbs about half way through the queue.
I think the town centres will be less popular and should be a better bet if you really want a particular model. Plus there's more shops - I think mbro still has two o2's and a cpw?
I hope it's easier this time as I don't fancy another early start. Hopefully other carriers will have it on thursday too to dilute the queues

How can you expect OSx to install applications to an Android phone?
If it works on windows then the installer is written for Windows and obviously isn't going to work on oOSx.

What does this mean? The slashdot crowd hasn't even weighed in on this yet (11:00 PM central).
Does this mean that Gimp is going to get a major overhaul?
Will I be able to get a less expensive version of CS?
Will I be able to compile my own CS (holy crap!)?
I don't think it means much at this point. Depends on where it goes... Mostly I see data structures, and pieces of a grammar and parsing engine. What I don't see is the source for any filters or transforms or anything high level.
Of your questions, your GIMP question might be the closest to the extent that this information allows them to become more compatible. It won't add features as far as I can tell, but it might allow GIMP to work with and export to Photoshop, for example.
It looks like they're just putting their toe in the water-- not sure what Adobe hopes to gain from this... Apple managed to get a developer community to focus on something much more complex (Darwin) but Adobe put out a bunch of stuff that doesn't seem that special or interesting.
I guess what I mean is when people hear "Adobe" they don't think "multiply linked data structures"...
Maybe I'm speaking too quickly-- I don't know what the Adam/Eve engines do really and they might be more powerful than they appear from the top levels of documentation. My guess is that Adobe is looking for help in keeping these engines secure and bug free, which would be a very good use of open source.
Maybe this is their plug-in interface, which would also be a very good use of open source.
It's an interesting trend though, and probably a good one-- look at your IP, decide what is really important to keep proprietary, and open the rest up. That's good, I think. Adobe's page itself seems to suggest they're trying to give utility classes that help extend STL.
