I blush, and thanks.
Just make sure that you let us know what it is you do end up with!
A Mini is also not a bad idea.
1) Get a refurbished one to save some bucks. Max out the RAM yourself - save bucks over Apple doing it.
2) Add FW external HDDs for storage. They can be used on a Mac Pro or an iMac later on.
3) With the money saved on the Mini, you can get a high quality monitor. Also transferable to a Mac Pro or an iMac later (as a 2nd monitor). A good monitor can used for several to many years comfortably. Imho, it's better to produce better photos (because the monitor is accurate) and wait some extra seconds, than to get a faster computer but put out photos with inaccurate colour.
4) Start investing in the SW tools that you will want/need. These are also transferable to a new system.
5) When you finally spring for a fully loaded, 24 core, 512MB RAM, 72 TB Storage, 4 graphic cards, 4 Thunderbolt ports iMac Pro Supreme Tower all of the peripherals and software moves too.
It's how I got started. A small Mini with a 23" ACD. Everything I bought to go with it also had to work with a (future) Mac Pro. Eventually I was working with Photoshop files that were approaching 1GB, on a Mini with only 1GB of memory (the days when opening a Mini involved spludging).
There was a lot of HDD thrashing. I was afraid that PS would crash, so I saved often. It took so long to save a big file, that I could go out and mow the lawn or do the dishes while it thrashed away. I got a lot of housework done that summer. Ironically, that Mini never crashed. Not once.
Eventually I got my current Mac Pro, and it was like moving from steam trains to warp drive. All the peripherals and SW moved too, so the only cost was the Mac Pro itself plus the extra HDDs I added at the time.
That Mini then got hooked up the TV where it served up all of our music throughout the house, and movies to the TV for a couple of years. I've upgraded that Mini to a newer one but the first one still works, and I keep it as a spare.
Nah... I just feel sentimental for it. What a workhorse!
Thank You for sharing as that is what I am thinking. I will buy 1333 ram no matter the machine I take home. I saw several refurb minis a few days ago, they were $500 or so.

Actually, according to that article it looks like MS bought their last viable product and they then de-established the company. A technicality, but different than being bought by MS.

Yeah so I ran TU and it was only able to save for 4.3. Can anyone think of a reason to jailbreak 3.2.2 and save those to Cydia before going up to 4.3? I'm trying to think of any possible reason why I'd want to go back to 3.2.2. At this point, it seems like everything 4.3 offers is better. And I have to believe that an untethered jb will happen eventually...
Do you have the camera connection kit or do you plan to get it? The connection kit only really fully works with the non 4.0 versions...

what would be the security problem?
If Bluetooth is set to listen during sleep on a laptop, for example, thieves can use Bluetooth phones and other devices to detect nice laptops/phones to steal from car parks and the like. Also leaving it on and 'discoverable' could make your private data vulnerable.

The design rocks, but the C2D is a non-starter. My nearly 4 year old faster CPU C2D machine chugs on my iTunes collection, flash, any hi-def. video.
I really have no use for it at this point. I really find it amazing that a 2.16 C2D is OK for they type f computing that I see around me...iTune, videos, huge DPI photos in iPhoto, etc. It literally took hours to import my iTunes library while iTunes was analyzing for volume...
That said, I will be the first to buy a Sandy Bridge MBA...basically my dream machine...
You'll be surprised on how the SSD makes a huge difference. In some ways the MBA seems faster than my current 2011 MBP quad core 15". I'm very tempted to get an SSD to make my MBP fly, except that I need high storage disks (and high storage SSD costs 2 arms, 2 legs, and a head).

Will they still go on with Messenger 6.0? Seeing as how they are crying about WWDC?
I think they will, as AFAI can tell, they announced this at WWDC.

Ah, I didn't realize that using the mute switch would give different results than muting with volume control. (It really shouldn't; the fact that apps can ignore the volume being all the way down is ridiculous.)
This also means I can't lock rotation and mute at the same time? Hmmmmm, when do I need to lock rotation.... When I'm lying in bed. When do I want to mute.... Gee, also when I'm lying in bed so I don't wake up my husband!
This is the most nonsensical settings configuration possible, wtf?
Thanks for your help, though.

Lee, I'm sorry... but the definition of 'sensational' is not the same as 'anything Lee disagrees with'. Would you call the thread started today by rdowns called "Mike Huckabee... and American Dick" sensational? How about the one called "Wisconsin Public workers stand up to Republicans." I find that one pretty sensational. :rolleyes: Grow up.
May I also ask why you're not confident enough with your own views to answer the poll? Also, what exactly is 'innacurate' with my thread?
And yet I'm the guy you refuse to talk to?

If they are in your itunes library, then yes you can easily sync them to the ipad.
Syncing is merely the process of connecting to the Mac and copying everything over from your Mac to the Ipad that you have chosen to sync. Some things may go the other way as well, but its not a complicated process.
From your first post, I think you may be confusing syncing with homesharing. With homesharing, your ipad can access your media in your itunes library via your wireless network. I.e. streaming it directly, rather than having to have a copy on your ipad.

Protein: p1155_L939_K12M_298K_DT_250ps_clones
Run: 46 (Clone 203, Gen 0)
Frames Completed: 0, Remaining: 400
Dynamic steps required: 5000000
This work unit was choking the PowerMac G4, which was doing one frame per hour. It would take the Mac seventeen days to finish the unit. How does a G4 user tell the Folding server to not send TINKER units to G4 CPUs? Waiting three weeks for a result, when an x86 system could have the unit done in a few days, is inefficient.
"Seventeen days? Hey, man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're not gonna last seventeen hours. Those things are gonna come in here just like they did before, and they're gonna come in here and they're gonna come in here and they're gonna kill us!" -Private Hudson
My computer was being VERY slow for a few frames one time. To the point where it said the WU would be done in APRIL OF NEXT YEAR. But after a day or two it went down to a reasonable time.

Maybe try resetting your PRAM (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238) too, because it's kinda fun. :p
Agreed, start the machine up with P, R, Alt & the Apple key held down (simultaneously) until you hear the startup tone twice the release any carry on booting. Does it still do it after this?

My friend told me last night that the BYU Bookstore has plenty of iPad 2s. You can just walk in and buy one. (You may want to call ahead to see if that's true though.)
Yesterday (Wednesday) morning I went to the Gateway. (I had an Apple Store gift card so couldn't have used it at the BYU Bookstore had I known about that anyway.) I got there at 7:40 AM. There were about 40 people in line ahead of me, and about 60 people lined up after me. Everyone got iPad 2s.
Apple Store employees stopped by the line every 15 minutes or so and handed out tickets. They got to me about 3 minutes after I arrived. At that time they were out of AT&T 3G 16GBs (both colors) so I got two 32GBs instead.
They are very wary of scalpers. They made sure I had never bought any before from anywhere (by asking me) before they would give me the tickets.
They started letting groups into the store at 9:00. I got in about 9:30 and had my iPad 2s at 9:45.
They wouldn't talk about anything other than iPad 2s until 10:00, so at 10:00 I asked about wireless mice. I didn't realize that the old Mighty Mouse (now Apple Mouse) no longer comes in a wireless version, but only the Magic Mouse does. My old wired Mighty Mouse is getting frayed, so I wanted a new wireless one. Multitouch is fine but the new Magic Mouse doesn't seem to have a way to bring up the dashboard like the old Mighty Mouse does. I'll probably end up getting a Magic Mouse and just retraining myself to use the keyboard key for the dashboard...
Anyway, some other people in line said it was their second time trying. They said Tuesday morning the store only had like 30 iPad 2s. And on Saturday or so they only had 6. So it's still hit and miss.

well i've got a couple of friends playing the exact game on the i5 one.
They are telling me it runs alright, but sometimes they expirenced a little lag.
So do you think, buying the i7 would make it lag less or even better not lag at all?

Using GSP and Iphoto only makes sense if the photo's have the GSP location information as part of the photo. So that mean that the Camera taking the picture has a GSP reciever in it, which is great outside, but GPS does not work indoors
Maybe you can use the map interface to ADD the GPS infor to the photos. For example, first you select a few photos. then you select "change location" and then click on a map of where the images were taken. Later you can search on the location

no one seems to be pointing out that they got rid of educational pricing for iPods... that's a bummer.
It is fair to point out that they did drop the price on the big ipods and increased storage on the nanos. Pretty good deal.

I did some reading. If you have a jailbroken iPad and a certain app, you can upload the 1.0 optimum.api in a format that's sharable. Since the app is free, I don't see it being an issue of piracy to share it. I have an iPad 2 and there isn't a jailbreak for it yet. So someone with an iPad 1 can upload it.

At work. Someone I work with was on the phone with a friend at home watching the morning news and she heard about the first plane. Then the news about the second plane. At that point we figured this was more than an accident and a group of of went down to the cafe where they have a TV. There were already about 200 other people crowded around the one little TV.
