I can't resist reporting this article, because it contains this sentence that you don't see very often:
"Surprisingly, Howe said, their inspiration came from cockroach legs."
Rather than build a robotic hand that could avoid mistakes while grasping a variety of objects, researchers build one that can correct mistakes on the fly, which is what humans do.
Despite its four-fingered form, the resulting hand has several human characteristics. At rest, its joints are opened from 25 to 45 degrees, and the joints at the base (our palm) are more flexible than the joints of the fingers. Dollar also added sensors to detect when a finger touches an object and the angle of the joints. While the hand automatically adjusts for many small errors, the sensors enable it to compensate for larger miscues.
The result is a very simple hand that can grasp a wide range of objects. It could become a platform for future household and service robots, where the ability to grasp different objects is important.

i may be interested in the TV adapter, has anyone tried it at all, like if you hooked up sound to go into your tv as well would it be delayed? or to play games?
please post your experiences as this is a good deal for me

Does anyone know what GPU you need to get resolution independence?
- Have an address bar so I can copy and paste file locations. Really useful to a developer, especially with working between the Finder and Terminal.
Drag-n-drop file/folder in terminal (you can drag icon in title bar too)
- Have a way of seeing how much disk space directories and their children take up, both with number sizes and graphically.
Info window? You won't have the graphical view, though.
Cool, at least now I'll be able to copy things from the Finder to the Terminal with your approach. Still won't work in reverse though.
The thing is that the size is around a six digit number, something that easily would fit in the existing Finder window, without needing another popup inspector window. Especially on small 1024x768 screens like my 12" iBook.
Web pages are NOT resolution independent for the most part.
Not disagreeing with you at all, but just thinking how sad this is. Anyone remember when HTML first came out, it was a language to describe the logical structure of a document, not really how to lay it out. The idea being that any browser on any platform or device could render it however. And here we are, where websites are made to fit only at 800x600 or 1024x768, and won't take advantage of larger resolution screens.
Yeah I don't think so. Unless you scale it to an exact multiple, it's going to look like crap.
Depends on the anti-aliasing algorithm. If it's done in hardware, then exact multiples shouldn't be an issue.
I'm with you all the way on this.
On the download, right-click yr desktop and click keep arranged by ...whatever you like... to prevent from the downloads stacking up eachother
Thank you, but I put my icons in specific places on my Desktop, so if I organised by name or anything, then it would jumble everything up.

I have a mid 2010 MacPro that has had some video problems ever since I got it. I am trying to determine if it is a cable problem or some problem with the video card. I have a monitor connected via the DVI port and this has no problems. I have my TV connected via a minidisplayport with a MDP to HDMI adapter to HDMI cat 5 extender. This is what is giving me problems. Swapping out all this will cost over $100 so I would like to confirm that it is not a hardware issue with the computer if possible.
I run the TV as a second monitor ans when I first set it up at the beginning of the year it would intermittently not detect the TV. I fiddled with things and removed some HTPC programs that were throwing a lot of things to the console logs. I finally got it working just fine for about 2 months. Now all of a sudden it will not always detect the TV. What I need to do to get it working again is to unplug the MDP plug and wait about 15-20 seconds then carefully plug it back in. It may take several times but eventually it will work. Just fiddling with the cables does nothing. There are times I get video but either no audio or audio with a lot of electronic distortion. The only way to fix this is to restart the computer. I am using XBMC as my HTPC software. What is new now is when I am watching a recording the video will go black and the audio will stop for 15-30 sec then the video comes back but no audio for another 15-20 seconds. I can rewind the recording to before it happened and watch with no problem through that section so i don't think it is a corrupted file.
I have looked through console logs but I have no idea what I am looking for if there is a hardware issue. Any thoughts on how to determine if it is a video card issue before I start changing all the wires to the TV? One though I did have was to get a MDP to DVI adapter and connect my monitor to the other MDP port. If it is a MDP port problem then is should happen with both the monitor and the TV.

While Dotson declined to comment about any partnership between the companies, he spoke highly of Apple's upcoming Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
So even T-Mobile's CEO pirated the Leopard preview? Gosh.

Hi, I am trying to help someone that is a newbie on a G5 Tower 10.5.8 who wants to watch some avi films.
I only started with a MBP when I bought my recent one 1.5 years ago.
Before that i was on windows and could fix most things but i am unfamiliar with Macs of that age.
I was telling him to download VLC assuming he had a newer one until he told me the error message, that his architecture wasnt right, at which point i asked him for his OS number and discovered how old it was.
Bearing in mind i am dealing with someone who has very little tech experience, I dont want him to get frustrated which he will easily do so I want to check my facts before passing them on to him.
I understand VLC had an issue with 10.5.8 if I read this page and do another quick search on Google.
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=82230
So I may have to tell him to download a compatible VLC and hopefully at worst lead him through he fix on this page to get it working.
If anyone is familiar with this and can offer advice beforehand, I would be grateful.
Otherwise, is there another program that plays .avi formats on an earlier Mac, such as 10.5.8, preferably one that doesn't have to download codecs.
I want to make this as easy as possible for him.
If any other such programs can be used, please let me know what they might be
TIA

...In 2009 the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gave $3.653 Billion to some of the most important charitable causes around the globe. They're known around the world as one of the most highly selective, efficient, and effective charitable organizations. Is it your position that our federal government would more efficiently/effectively utilize this money?
Actually, it'd be about the same. I base this on the fact that the company I work for, which is a for-profit / non-profit international development company (almost all international development companies have both for- and non- profit arms) receives funding from both USAID and the Gates Foundation. I think it's fairly obvious that we're roughly equally effective at implementing projects from different sources of funding; we're the same company with the same staff on either projects. Of course, Gates rules and USAID rules differ a little in terms of what we have to do with that money, but they're not all that different in the end.
And that's what most of development money goes to in the end: companies (or organizations) that implement projects. The companies and organizations are the same regardless of where the funding comes from.

I did a similar thing recently when I purchased an iMac from my local Apple Store.
I wanted a full keyboard with number pad. The iMac came with the basic
wireless keyboard.
They sold me the full keyboard and then credited me the amount so it
cost $0. I actually left with both keyboards because the original was left
in the iMac box

That would be cool, but there could be a hitch: A lot of those lyric sites get shut down, because you're supposed to license the lyrics from the publishing company in order to be able to use them. So this could cost Apple a lot of money in the long run.

After reading that, it makes me want my mac that much more even though I've been dieing and loosing sleep the last few days waiting for my new ibook. I used my brothers powerbook a few weeks ago and it sold me instantly. So now HOPEFULLY tomorrow if im lucky I'll get it but i doubt it. The best part about it is that I've been using crummy windows machines for all my life and it will feel good to finally use a mac.

upgrade baseband to 06.15.00 then jailbreak then unlock
Or
customized snowbreeze firmware and unlock same time
Or what do you think!
Use redsn0w to jailbreak it. When you run redsn0w, it has the option for you to install the ipad baseband. You can click on it and it will jailbreak and install ipad baseband onto your phone at the same time.
Just to make sure you have Ipad 1 3.2.2 firmware on your computer so redsn0w can do its job.

There's no reason to run Garageband on a secondary drive, unless of course you're taking a performance hit due to a drive filling up.
But back everything up, multiple copies of .aiff's, .aac's and especially .band's.
