I will happily buy a MBA when it gets a modern day CPU and a backlit keyboard.

Better they use the same gestures etc. as Apple if they are going to push forward with multi-touch. We don't want to end up in 10 years time with a situation where every device has a different method for doing the same thing!
So true.
It drives me up the wall in CAD programs when they all choose their own way for common actions like view manipulations. For the sake of everyone who has to learn the programs... use the same conventions!
Same for things with canvases, and control or alt or scrolling drags for left/right/up/down movement.

So i just got done taking the second hard drive out of my eMac (Traded out and Optical Drive for a HDD for Time Machine some months ago). Well, i remember that "some months ago" i accidentally ripped the out shell off with no regards to the power switch and it still works, though its less sensitive now, or the time (wait, actually same time) when i kinda "broke" the video connector plastic casing that goes from the CRT Board to the Logic Board, a little of some crazy glue or whathaveyou and i managed to fix my way out of that one too. Combine these experiences with that of my first, err second gen iMac G3 (Same bondi blue, yet no infer red sensor) I even tried to over clock it with my late father's help to no avail, but we were able to undo the over clock and that Mac too is still working. But the real reason for all this is to reminisce on how reliable these older Machines are. Currently, my eMac has made it's way to my Mother's desk as i work on her compaq craptop. Today when i took it apart to remove the time machine drive, after reassembly it wouldn't start. Now usually i'd freak out but after learning all the above, and even some more undocumented instances where i messed up, i learned you need patience. These Mac's just don't seem to Quit working. I've had it to where my iMac wouldn't start, and i changed outlets, and even power cords which solved these issues. Thats why these little guys can be temperamental! Jwhathaveyouust today i had to disassemble, make sure a couple things were fastened (Which i basically just unplugged afew wires and replugged em' in) and then reassemble my eMac. I know I can't be the only one - so feel free to share your story! I love these older machines, they're the most reliable even compared to my new pc (I've had more problems with my new pc than my 5 year old mac) and although they can be temperamental, they never seem to quit.

I was in a phone with one of the Specialist in the Apple Store and he said there will be no iPad 2s today coming in. I was just calling them to swap my iPad 2. Genius agreed to swap me with the new iPad 2 after my iPad fails.
Just wanting to make sure whether they really dont have stock or maybe the stock is not yet coming in. I phoned about 10 am this morning. Anyone been there today and can clarify me?
Thanks a lot

TMobile has awful coverage in the US. This is def bad news. :(
I've had TMobile for 3 years now, and I find their coverage much better than Cingular (my previous provider)!
Either way, I hope they have some sort of multi-provider approach for release, with their own private service for content. I want Apple to have 100% control over the phone, and not provider xyz.
Also, don't expect to see/hear about the iPhone from Apple until at least MWSF. And it will NOT be a silent release, so any "store down" means nothing for this product. Apple is going to flood the market with advertisements for the iPhone...they'll have to. I really think they're going to treat it much like they do iPods.

What programs are they using to put these papers together? What precisely do you mean by templates i.e. grids, style sheets, the works?
Many newspapers use proprietary large-scale publishing systems, sometime with their own custom-designed fonts... not something you can just download and use.

I installed something via iFile that i'd sent myself by e-mail.I now wish to remove it but where do i find it to remove it?
Any help appreciated ;)
If it's a deb I would assume you simply uninstall it via Cydia?

See the AnandTech article or the referenced MacRumors thread. The Samsung drive appears about 15-20% faster in some of the benchmarks.
No, I meant the number of people who have one vs the the other, not the speed of the SSDs.

10GB/day bandwidth transfer for basic accounts, that's pretty impressive.
Yeah, I ended up reading a lot on their forums ,didn't know they even had a forum. It's a huge step up from the 100MB :D
Hopefully Dropbox is cool with me doing this.

And that will check it even when it is not running in my dock?
Bless your soul :)
No. Mail needs to be running to check. There is no hidden system service that will do it (not as part of Mail, at least).

I think the difference here is, with deCSS, once it was out there it was out there - DVDs, as physical objects, were beyond the reach of the studios, and all the various players/drives that were out there made it impossible to do anything about it for DVDs.
With FairPlay though, Apple can 'update' purchased music anytime users download a newer version of iTunes to make sure FairPlay keeps going for anyone who wants to keep buying from the iTunes Music Store.
iTunes update on Tuesday? :p
Can DVD Jon's DRM be so similar to Apple's that when iTunes updates and goes looking for Firplay protected content, it finds content protected by DVD Jon's DRM and updates that too?

See? If you pay, they'll stop it with the intrusive ads. Extortion is always a good business model for a website ;)

For Toy Story 3 coming out this week, I wanted to take advantage of the ATV drives that the Iconfactory put out. I'm hoping they put out a few more, but these are kind of cool for the time being.
That's brilliant!

Hi All,
I hope this isn't "taboo" to list an auction here, but if it is and a mod wants to let me know, that's fine. I searched and found some similar posts linking to auctions, so I figured it's worth a shot.
I recently asked here for valuation tips on my Macbook combo-deal and I know this might be a bit higher than the typical going-rate on MR, I have thrown-in a retail Leopard package/etc. so maybe it's of interest to someone ;) It's in nice shape and very well cared-for (like all my toys).

I've seen a similar thing happen once. Circumstances were a bit different though because I received a Word document that displayed the text substitution you are seeing. The client was using a scientific font on their PC. They were able to save documents as PDF so I could see what was supposed to be there. I then purchased a corresponding font for the Mac and duplicated what was depicted in the provided PDF.
Adobe Acrobat only embeds valid fonts. I suspect the font being used to generate the PDFs is a bit wonky (not Adobe or Postscript). I suggest replacing the font and making certain that the option to include the font is enabled.

Hey.
Just starting to get interested in the past, and history of apple, and Steve Jobs, and wanted to read some books etc on it. There seem to be a few around.. iCon, Apple Confidential etc.. I want to get a couple. Any suggestions for me? Anything I should steer clear of? Thanks.
Oh - Sorry if this has been posted before, I did a search on Apple Books (http://forums.macrumors.com/search.php?searchid=2018999) and couldn't find any relevant results.

For those that currently use iTMS, the presence of other music providers supplying and actively marketing "iPod compatible" tracks will create competition that Apple currently don't have. This will drive prices down, or force Apple to add value to their own offerings. (For those that don't buy via iTMS, instead choosing to rip CDs or use P2P networks, it makes no difference either way).
This assumes that Apple sets prices and controls content. It really doesn't--the store is barely above break-even, and Apple owns none of the content. Competition only weakens Apple's bargaining power with the RIAA, which in turn will drive prices UP. We've already seen them try.
For the broader market, increased availabilty of "iPod compatible" tracks from various suppliers can only enhance the iPods appeal. Clearly it would be preferable for Apple to licence their actual DRM to other suppliers, but they won't. This is a happy workaround.
What is the inherent "good" in being able to buy Fairplay tracks from other vendors? Purely that lower prices might happen on other websites (with high startup costs and bad licensing positions with the RIAA, making this "lower price" for mainstream music almost impossible)? The only advantage I can see is for small indie labels, who might provide high-quality DRMed files for good prices. This of course would be good for everyone, but it's not exactly a huge market.

It is a collector's item but I doubt you will be able to get much for it (esp since it has no HD). Many people just don't have space for these old Macs (but I would pay good money for a IIfx)....
