Went to BestBuy today and had a sales person tell me not to buy a mini but get an imac........he said the speed was too slow compaired to the imac. Also that by the time I paid for mouse, monitor, keyboard I would have the same about of money invested. Just wanted some opinions?
Thanks

I don't think there is a setting to have the PB continue to function with the lid closed unless you have an external display connected.
I sure there is a way to do it by disabling the sleep function all together by using the terminal, but I would not attempt that on my machine.

Best investment? A 4G MiFi. I'm traveling connecting through Chicago and I'm watching LiveTV as I wait for my next flight. The video quality over 4G is soooo much clearer than over 3G. It doesn't skip at all.

Agreed, but the latest nano is pretty poor, was surprised, seems very unapple-like. There is room for a good ultra portable small music player (gyms etc, I see so many ipods) and for them to please, please make a good quality headphone as standard, the ones that come with ipods (of any price) is pathetic. So, let's see what they do.
Why should they make good quality headphones? Seriously, I really don't think that makes any sense for apple or the consumer. Just think about it. Anyone who is serious about getting a nice music listening experience with their iPods will buy some good headphones or did already anyway. So when apple adds high quality headphones to their ipod line (making every ipod cost like 50 EUR more) everyone who already has headphones they like very much (For example I bought some Shures for 100 EUR) would be very very pissed off at buying useless headphones for 50 EUR they never wanted to buy.
As much as I see that a high quality product such as the iPod classic is bundled with something as cheap as the apple earbuds, I just don't want to be forced in buying an expensive headphone which I probably won't like (sound or comfort). Imagine buying a new amplifier for your hifi system and they come bundled with what the producer thought were okay speakers.
Just wanted to clarify that one as this is a very common complain about the iPod line which I just don't see at all.

It's theft disguised as charity...
It's not theft. He's reverse engineered the DRM and is now offering a Fairplay compatible alternative DRM to companies. You may as well say that Apple "stole" Adobe's PDF format when they reverse engineered it into OSX.

The pixel sleeve completely covers the air. It's not to tight but a good fit. I would recommend. The lining is really soft micro fibre kind of thing. It also has no zip so no chance of scratching the mba!

my ipad2 came with 4.3 and i never updated. now that 4.3.2 is out, can i update to 4.3.1 somehow and still save the shsh blob from that?
No need to have 4.3.1 installed on your iPad to save SHSH for it, just download TinyUmbrella (google for it), and save all avaiable SHSH.

The advantage it that it's the closes thing to an Apple console out there. It might not have the same games as the X Box and PS3, but it's like an Apple console. How cool is that. It's like the spending the whole day playing an Apple console. The thought should get your bacon sizzling.
Are you being facetious?
Honestly, just the fact that Apple made it does not make it any better of an experience. Yes, I do prefer Macs to PCs. But that's cause how the OS works and even some of the implementation of hardware. It being made by Apple just happens to be made by Apple. And the reason I like a lot of Apple things isn't cause they made it, but because they did a good job making it.
But no, it being an apple product does not let it coast on not being just as good or better as something else. It actually has to be just as good or better.
I keep seeing percentages but never the raw numbers. iOS and Android may be increasing their market share but is the market just increasing as far as the number of users? I would guess that iOS and Android aren't leeching customers from traditional handhelds so much as expanding the user base overall and their market share is increasing because that increased user base is only coming from those devices and not from the traditional handhelds (ie DS, PSP, etc.)
Interesting question. But, I think for your argument to work we'd also have to see if the market for handhelds is increasing. For iOS and android not to be taking some sales from other handhelds and still increase in amount of people playing the market itself would have to get bigger (basically they'd be adding to the market people who weren't in the market before).
Plus I'll add the idea that they are increasing in market*share* means that they are an increasing percentage of the overall market for hand helds. Even if that is because they are bringing in new people to the market, most likely that also means Nintendo and Sony are not and just getting the same customers for iOS and Android to be getting more percentage of the marketshare.

Funny thing about the new gawker media sites is that they pretty much lost a ton of their traffic after the switch to the new layout.

Fail design is fail.
Also ca.gizmodo.com works fine for me. But I prefer their RSS feed anyway.

@Munkees, do I understand correctly that you now make use of Aperture to manage "referenced" files: importing iPhoto's existing folders and/or albums?
Then, how do you organize your hierarchy: years (1999, ...) as a 'project', events like travels as a 'folder', a country (for example "USA") as an 'album', and a specific visit ("Yosemite", "Grand Canyon North rim", "Grand Canyon South rim") as a 'sub folder' or 'sub album')?
I really never have been one for organizing by year, but rather by places / events.
I did not import form iPhoto, I exported my pictures, then brought them into Aperture.
I now have all my photos kept in their own folders on the HD, and when they get imported into Aperture, I have the preference do not copy files. I will not have nested folders, i want to be able to find my images quickly on the HD, even though this is not that important.
example visit to Yosemite will be in a folder on the HD (in the pictures folder) called "Yosemite". If I got back and take more photos, I will just add them to the same folder, unless there are some good reason to separate them.

Don't have a product recomendation ready but looks like u will deffinetly need a document feeder. I have a flatbed scanner without feeder and wouldn't even dare to dream about scanning 100+ pages on the same day :eek:
As for the usb, i don't think u should be concerned. A 2.0 scanner will work with your 1.0 PB ( :confused: - mine does ;) )
You will however need good OCR software (could be in the package, could be the package sucks)
Cheers and good luck searching.

Do any of these new ipods have a firewire connection??
If not..that's some BS
The 'old' 5G iPods didn't have Firewire.
EDIT: <maxwell smart>Missed it by that much.</maxwell smart>

a little but that says for macbook or macbook pro does this apply with mac mini?
Yes, as they share the same ports, like Mini Display Port and the analog/digital (optical) audio out port.

Hello Everyone!
I recently joined MacRumors! Anyway, I want to ask the opinion of everyone.
Do you think the iPod Classic will get an update? Someone stole my iPod August 2010 and I haven't had the money to get a new one. But since it is my birthday, my family told me they'll buy me a new one.
Am really a music person. Am not so much into apps and stuff. But, most of my friends are telling me to just get an iPod touch since it is sooo much better than the iPod classic.
So, I was wondering if anyone can help me decide if I'll buy an iPod now or wait for September? and, which iPod to buy? Classic or Touch.
Thanks!! ;)

I just got a new iPod at the Apple Center in Beijing, and am extremely happy with it. I got the 30GB model because it was the only one available--the rest were sold out The people in the store told me that it wasn't just their store that didn't have them, apparently Apple China is completely out of stock.
As happy as I am with the iPod, I am running to a small problem, and I wonder if anybody can help.
My iPod's hard drive is bigger than the 10GB drive on my iBook. I outgrew the 10GBs a long time ago, and purchased an external hard drive to deal with the overflow. All of my music is on the external drive, which has a nastily loud fan.
What I'd like to do is stop using the external drive to store my music, and just use the iPod. Does anyone know if this is possible? I can't figure out how to make it work.

I think it's a really good idea.
Once they increase the number of available podbooks, I think this could really become big.

if it's not in .profile, execute this command to determine which shell you're running:
% echo $SHELL
and check out the corresponding startup file. e.g. if you're running tcsh, have a look in .tcshrc
edit: also look in .login

Not sure of Magsafe/MBA-friendly options for Tekkeon MP3750, MP3450 or MP3450i (http://www.tekkeon.com/products-mypowerall.html). ('R2' flavor of MP3450i sold at 3gstore.com; not sure what 'R2' does, don't yet see 'R2' description/notes at Tekkeon.com.)
Tekkeon *does* (or at least _did_) make a power adapter for MacBook Pro/Air... but it's kind of a home-made jobby, and they only had -one- left. They don't plan to make anymore. So I snagged it (even though I didn't buy one of their batteries yet).
Apparently this cable/adapter can be home-made via taking the tip/cable off a Magsafe adapter and wiring it together with one of their (or some commodity) part, awaiting info on that. If anyone's interested, lemme know and I'll post.
In meantime... why no love for this thread? Would think with MacBook Air's having no interchange-able battery that there'd be lots of folks interested in external/extended batteries for MBAs...? to help for extended away-from-"wall"-power-socket time (for me it's sitting and working outside for long stretches)...?
