Specifying sizes in mm and inches would have to be the worst way to do web design. I have good eyesight so i want my webpages to be small, my parents have worse eyesight so they like to scale everything larger, their solution at the moment is to decrease the screen resolution, this is very crude on an lcd. When resolution independence becomes standard they will be able to make everything larger while still maintaining the default resolution of their monitor, but if everyone designs webpages in mm or inches then the webpages wont become bigger, completely defeating the purpose.
No, this is still a good thing. If web pages are designed in inches and millimeters, then your parents will not have to change the screen resolution to increase the size. Instead there should be a method of scaling the page so that it will be, say, 1.5 times bigger. After scaling, the page will still be as sharp as it is at the normal size. That's significantly better than reducing the resolution on an LCD.
Now this is dependent on this scaling method being available, but if Apple doesn't provide it you can bet somebody out there will come up with a utility to do it.
Resolution independence has no downsides.

My roommate is taking a geography class in college right now. (Just an FYI, he is an older student in his 30's).
His teacher works for google on their maps. He has slipped in class several times saying Apple is working on putting GPS into the iPod. (He, the teacher, knows this because it is what he does full time for Google).
Anyway, this looks like the GPS in iPhoto is not related to the iPod, but eh you never know, iPhoto does work with the iPod in a way now as it is...
Yeah, that makes no sense. I mean, i guess the iPod could be loaded with GPS navigation software, but that's still much less useful than putting it in a device like the iPhone. Plus, in the context of this thread, an iPod can't take pictures, whereas an iPhone almost certainly will be able to.
Probably the professor was was told it's the iPod, which would set constraints on screen size, etc - but actually the GPS is going to be in the iPhone....

- iTunes 7 will confirm if you wish to re-download content, and has a backup utility for backing up your library. Also introduced is a feature called "skip count" which tells you how often you have skipped a song.
This is not new to iTunes 7. This has been in iTunes since practically version 4. Where did you get the idea that this was a new feature?
BTW, the iPod software update 1.2 for video iPods does not appear to give the new Advanced Search function to older 5G iPods.
no one seems to be pointing out that they got rid of educational pricing for iPods... that's a bummer.
It's not really that much of a bummer. The max discount you ever got was $30 (I think, not sure if you got more for a $399 model), but with the new models, Apple discounted the highest iPods by $50 instead. So if you buy at full price, you're still paying less than you would have with the educational discount previously.
I don't think the shuffles ever had special educational pricing, and I'm not sure the nanos ever did either.

November yahoooo soon be bonfire night :D,
ok I made this background in Photoshop after seeing a very similar one on 4walled (http://4walled.org/) but that one looked very tired, hence making one from scratch so there's *No Link* to it, I removed the dock using Mirage 2 (http://www.macthemes.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16802835) for snow leopard and the indicators are from the Eclipse dock (http://macthemes.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16796046) enlarged in photoshop and installed via Candybar 3 (http://www.panic.com/candybar/)

A quick Google search brought this up: http://www.tipb.com/2010/06/21/switching-android-iphone-4/
Moving over contacts, calendars, and email
Here�s the good news: if you�re using Android chances are you�re using Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts for your personal information, and those all work really well on the iPhone. You can set them up either as an Exchange account (which uses Google Sync�s ActiveSync license) to push everything straight from the mothership to your iPhone.
Since iOS 4 can handle multiple ActiveSync accounts, that�s the way we recommend you go. Just tap the Settings icon on the Home Screen, tap Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, choose Exchange, and enter your credentials. Google even has a help page if you�re not sure just what exactly to put where.
About the only things you�ll miss � and we miss them too � is a more Gmail-like mail app. iPhone Mail is a great IMAP client but Gmail does things their own way, with threads and labels and stars. You�ll get threads, but the other two just aren�t there.
If it bothers you enough, you can load up gmail.com right in the Safari web browser. Google makes the best web apps in the business and they work great in Safari (which shares the same WebKit root as Google�s own Chrome). Once you�ve logged in to Gmail, Safari will ask you to cache a few megs of mail on your iPhone � HTML5 and SQLite power! � and then you�re good to go.
On the off chance you don�t like ActiveSync you can hit the handy Gmail button instead in Mail Settings and go the IMAP route. If you don�t even use Gmail, you can setup MobileMe (Apple�s expensive push service), Exchange, or pretty much any POP3 or IMAP service you have via the Other button.

I'd say it's probably enough, yes. Unless you play graphics-intensive games...?
no games at all.
only working with the programs i listed and internet.

Who's the prick downrating your posts...?!
A friend of mine runs a small animation business. He does lots of rendering, which is apparently extremely CPU-intensive. If that's what you'll be doing, as DG has said, the i7 might give you something extra. But if you're working on stills, I think the i5 is fine.
i have no idea, that's weird.
about the rendering, i'm not working with animation or 3D so there will be no rendering. maybe just a little video with After Effects but just from time to time.. i don't really use it on a regular basis.
and thanks for your quick reply

It has to be able to hold 728x90 pixel sized banners. The space below the first story will not do this.

The VPN server is an AVM 7270 router/modem/voip box.
So you think she has to manually connect to the ip adress of my MacPro to be able to download files remotely?
How would I do this? Is it done in Finder somewhere?
In the Finder:
Menu Bar > Go > Connect to Server > Mac Pro IP or what ever the name of your machine is called Mac-Pro.local
And your done, might even bookmark it if you use it often.

I just updated my 5G ipod:
-Brightness control now available (great for the car at night, ipod is almost blinding)
-Gapless
-Sound Check? (I dont remember seeing that on the ipod, was it there before?)

The whole resolution independance thing terrifies me. I just know we'll see some vendor or Apple have these annoying huge UI's that we can't shrink back down to their proper size. I mean the reason we buy this huge monitors is to shrink the UI and maximize free space right???

See you there! (I hope:))

I'm not using Corona SDK, but wondering about how it works. I saw the youtube vid on it and the code doesn't look like Obj-C, it looks like something more like c++ without ";" at the end.
Is this an engine that runs off a script? What control do you have over performance tuning? How does it intergate with regular iPhone app code, if you wanted to put code in your game that stopped and displayed an ad for your web site, could you do that?
Just based on the demo video, it looks like it would do great for simple games, but I would be concerned over level of control. If a game starts to do well, you might decide that you need to tweak it a certain way, I wonder if this allows low-level coding.
