Interesting. None of these features are "big" as far as selling points/innovations go - no expos�, etc. I don't expect unreleased features to be huge for 10.5, and so it seems like the OS will probably not get great reviews or have a whole lot of possible selling points. But that doesn't mean I don't think these features are unimportant or won't help sell a bunch of computers -- actually, exactly the opposite. Leopard brings the software up to the hardware, increasing the overall user experience, and increasing the benefit of new technologies. Without these kinds of updates, more cores doesn't actually mean much faster, and higher resolution screens don't mean more readable, better screens. These innovations in software set the hardware free to do whatever it can. Will my powerbook get much better with the new OS? No. Will new macs look much better in apple stores, and run faster with the same specs? Yes. Even though techies will understand these features, it wil be nontechies who buy the computer because of them, because they don't have to turn anything on, but get a better feel in their computing experience.
Which brings up two questions-
1. Does anybody know how far this resolution independence goes? Meaning, if finder and the dock are the only things that are resolution independent, but office, ilife, etc. still turn tiny, no thanks. But does carbon and cocao mean that apps built on those (which/how many apps) will automatically be scalable?
2. How does resolution independence and multicore usage compare between leopard and vista?

Hi
Quick question. i recently bought a macmini to act as a media centre (more than happy). My Father in Law is impressed with set up and wants the same BUT he wants more capacity on the HDD. He has seen a refurb mini server with plenty of HDD space which he is tempted by but keeps asking me what the downside to having one of these over the standard version will be. He isnt fussed for the DVD drive as all his files are downloaded.
Can anyone quickly give reasons why he should/shouldnt go for this? He will not be usingit as a server but only to get the extra specs.
Hope someone can help or point me to where I can get the info on the difference.

On first glance so much for one handed navigation. I hope there is more to it then this. :(
How about we reserve our comments on usability, interface and one-handed-ness until we see a demo... or a freaking production model for that matter.
sheesh. You all talk like you've used it.

In the UK we just pay whatever phone network your on �10 (~$16 USD) and they get Apple to activate/unlock it ;)
Much better than the poor excuses for phone networks you get in the US!

Magento is built for Ecommerce. It's bloated like OSC, but there is a big support structure, and it's more modular then OSC for your plugings and themes. We do everything in Magento and Magento Enterprise now.

Asleep on a buddies futon in LA. He came in, woke me up, told me what happened and turned on the TV. He saw 2nd plane hit the tower live and that's when he woke me up.
I basically stayed glued to the news and internet sites/forums the whole day.

I have to disagree with this comment, its not the Iphone man is USA's Networks. over here in england i have had no dropped calls (not a single one) beit the Iphone 3GS, 3G or 4 not a single dropped call and i am sure the majority of Iphone users here would state this.
Clearly not otherwise the rest of the world would also be having dropped calls. We don't get any noticeable dropped calls from the i4 over here.
Living outside of the US it's funny as the dropped call thing always seems to affect American users the most yet people leap to the conclusion it is a problem with the phone. I have owned the original iPhone, 3G and iPhone 4 in the family and no issues here in the UK with dropped calls on any of the phones.
Obviously had a few dropped calls over the years but it is not that frequent. I did notice that the iPhone had worse reception in very low signal areas (all Models) compared to my Dad's old Nokia which has a small external transmitter but then again that Nokia beats every smart phone I have ever seen for reception.
Although I don't think any device with an internal antenna is going to out perform one with an external antenna but taking the rest of the world into account AT&T are definitely a factor in the dropped calls as they seem to be way more frequent in the USA on AT&T than other service providers around the world.
I agree with these. I've not had any problems with dropped calls in Northern Ireland either.

Saw an ABC Australia journalist in Japan reporting that because the phones are down people are using Facebook to post their status and location to let their families and friends know how they are. I assume Facebook will make some mileage out of this.

Hi Guys,
A mac mini (2 months old) connected to a GOOD UPS is now rebooting on it's own 3-4 times a day.
There are log files generated for these events but are too detailed for my understanding.
Is there a simple event viewer (like MS eventvwr.msc) that can show me failed services, failed operations, etc., so I can try and track down what the heck is going on?
Any help would be appreciated.

Good news! Virtual PC for Intel Macs never made much sense anyway. Why go to great pains to emulate an OS that can run native?
Even better good news would be for the Mac Business Unit to develop a Mac-only version of Vista. Since it would target a very narrow set of hardware, it could be leaner, faster, more stable, and contain all the proper hardware drivers. Spared many of the woes of other Windows users, we'd be happy, and Microsoft would make more money as Mac users buy copies to use with Boot Camp or Parallel. They'd make far more with Vista for Macs than they'd ever make with Virtual PC.
All in all, I'd say things are going quite well in the Mac world.

I know someone who has an original iPhone 2G 8GB still sealed and may be willing to sell it. How do I tell if it's a refurb? Or if it's an early or late production model? The box shows all the old original icons and does not show the App Store or iTunes Store on it as an app.
I am thinking about buying it to collect (and leave it sealed) but I want to make sure it's something worth having.
By looking at the serial number on the back of the box, how do I tell if it's a refurb? What country was it sold in? When was it made? What information can I get from it?
No, I do not have the serial number at this time.

Make sure you're using iTunes 4. Anything before that doesn't support AAC files. Once you have iTunes 4, go into the preferences, under the Importing button and choose AAC. As for the track names, it's not iTunes that recognizes it or not, it's the CDDB, a database which is accessed over the internet, meaning that your computer must be connected to the internet for it to pull up track titles and such. Good luck.

If they don't keep FaceTime open to non-iOS mobile devices and non-OS X devices, FaceTime will be dead in the water if it isn't already.
Exactly what I am saying. Even Apple has to eventually realize that their products are only any good if you can use them to connect with others. I mean... how many people do you know that use FaceTime by now? Oh, your friends got Android? Bummer. It's fine for Apple to use it to push their market share for some time, but in the end you have to come out the shell to become valuable in reality.

I've tried VPC 6 in OS 9, running 98SE, 2000, and XP. 98's the fastest of the lot, 2000 comes in second, and XP is ridiculously slow. If you've got a choice between running VPC in 9 or X, run it in 9, it'll perform much better.
