yea but i dont want to wait another 3 weeks for that deal to come besides i dont need an ipod.
Yeah if I wasn't on a tight budget i'd buy mine already, but even though i'm not going to use the iPod, paying taxes (~$33) for it in Canada and reselling it for just under Apple's price you'll end up getting the iMac for near $300 cheaper including the student discount.

This another one of my threads where I point out the obvious...
You know how CDs and DVDs that you burn are have the +/- R or +/RW at the end. R meaning write and RW meaning rewrite.
How come CD-Rs aren't called CD-Ws (since write is not spelled with a r)?

u cant just take it back if u dont like it, theres a restocking fee
Not in the UK. Unless the salesman was doing me a favour... he said to me, "fourteen days, you can bring it back for a refund - no questions asked".

So awesome. I want to ordering a battery for it. How would I do this? Can I just use AAA's? My batteries are very old and 1 of the batteries in the pack had some acid coming out, so I removed it before and cleaned it out before damaging it. :) I just want to try it. I think the Newton is pretty sweet because the first iPad about 15-20 years back now. :)
Yeah, standard AAs will work fine. The Apple battery pack is just a pre-packaged set of four NiMH AAs.

Well it does come at a price. Apple is not really selling $500 laptops like HP or Dell.
To HP and Dell's credit, their business customer support is not bad or their premium customer support is based in US ($99 additional). At the end of the day you cannot build laptops at the margins they have and pay US pay scales for support.
I definitely had great customer support experience with apple customer support for my apple devices.
I bought a $1k PC from HP and wanted to add in a new GPU, so I called Customer Support (I called US Customer Support). When someone answered, I asked what the dimensions were for the PC. He said he did not know. I asked him to look it up, he said the PC could not be found (this was a 1 month old PC). Be aware that it was extremely hard to understand this guy... he literally had the strongest accent ever. After arguing with him to convince him that the PC dimensions can be found, he ended the phone call. I then called back and got a new Support rep. This time a woman picked up and she also had a very strong accent was hard to understand. Again, I asked for the dimensions for the PC and guess what happened? She just hung up without even giving me a response. This same behavior came from all 6 reps that I talked to. On the 7th rep, I finally got someone that spoke English clearly and unlike the other reps I had previously talked to, she was very friendly and helpful. Again, for the 7th time now, I asked what the dimensions for the PC were and guess what happened this time? She pulled them up for me in 30 seconds.
I had 3 experiences like this with HP, all about different things that I needed assistance with.
So yeah lol... I was amazed with Apple's Support today. HP's, not so much haha.
Long live Apple. :)

Its not just iphone production or Apple either. Foxconn makes stuff for every major electronics manufacturer.
So this is not an Apple issue. It's Foxconn's issue and the fact that the Chinese government allows them to get away with it.

I am going crazy with this.
I have a presentation in Keynote '09, version 5.05 (942) and am trying to export it to powerpoint 2007. When I try to open the presentation, I get an error message saying "Power Point was unable to display some of the texts, images, or objects on slides in the file (name), because they have become corrupted. Affected slides have been replaced by blank slides in the presentation and it is not possible to recover the lost information, To ensure that the file can be opened in previous versions of Power Point, use the Save As command (File menu) and save the file with either the same or a new name."
Anybody else have this problem and know how to fix it?:mad:

ok. so you read the title. basically, it lets you listen to music in apps such as iParkIt, with headphones or the speaker.
you're gonna need a device with iOS 4 or higher with multitasking abilities, and the apple headphones, or any other brand of headphones, but they must have the remote on them.
1. first, open the app.
2. plug in your headphones
3. open the multitasking bar up
4. the music play button should be greyed out.
5. press the play button for music on your headphones.
6. if you wanna listen through the headphones, you're done, just return to the app.
7. if you wanna listen through the speakers, don't close the multitasking bar, just press play on the headphones, unplug them, and you should be able to press play for your music.
8. return to app
9. enjoy the full awesomeness of multitasking.

It's a shame they're quite small and grainy. They're amazing as they are but properly done - I don't think I'd change my desktop picture ever again.

Is it leaving a border around the edge of the paper, or is it blowing up the image slightly so that things are running off the edge? If there's a border of white, then it's most likely the printer margins (either they need to be set to 0", or the printer doesn't support borderless printing).
Of course, I have far less knowledge of Illustrator than you, I'm sure (considering I've barely ever touched it), so perhaps there's another explanation someone can present.

iGary, listen to me you whinning, kid-less money bag.
I spend $100/month for 1 kids piano lessons.
$95/mo for 2 kids gymnastics
$60/mo for another kids dance classes
we just wrote over $100 in various checks to the elementary school for kids stuff.
You have none of that, no clothes for 3 kids, no meals for 3 kids, no birthday presents for 3 kids' friends.
Get the blessed thing NOW! Screw the 30in, it will be there only cheaper next month.
After you get it, you have to put some of my fav songs on it though.

Why even make a 933 MHz???
why not use a SE/30?
A 20% speed increase is not something for you to get excited about?
If i had 20% more time in a day I would have almost 5 more hours to sleep.

Mostly Atomic Web Browser. I think it looks terrible but it has tabs.
Safari for a quick google search. I hate that it brings up the bookmarks window upon startup. Yes I know it can be disabled with a Cydia app but for one reason or another it eats my battery life.

Making more progress.
Playing with textures now.
Model again tweaked a little. I think up till this point it represents about 6/7 Hours work.
I use my little MBP, C4D 11.5 and PS CS5.

Funny, I would think having the same file format will make it work.
The ORF (Olympus RAW) file has an identifier string for the camera, if this string doesn't match a camera on Apple's list of supported cameras, the file won't open. However if you go in and edit the string from "E-PL1" to "E-P2 ", Aperture will open it no problem. I even wrote a python/automator program to perform this on E-PL1 RAW files so they can be opened in Aperture.

My iBook, purchased new in June, is my first Apple computer. Since OS X has a FreeBSD userland I can cope with parts of it, but what I cannot figure out is how to calm all the white and white-with-grey-striped real estate down in Aqua. I would like these to be a light blue-gray, in keeping with every other desktop I have ever used, but not even very many themes control this.
What do I do to simply colorize these big white spaces slightly? The stripes are irritating, and I would like to get rid of those, but all that white space is just glare-y.
TIA
