100Teraflops
Mar 9, 11:42 PM
hey 100Teraflops glad your getting some good advice, the good monitor is a must for photography, check the dell 2209wa (i think it's still about) or the HP 2310i, both nice monitors, but the internal raid i have is a software raid 1 mirror, works well for my needs. Are you really sure you want to wait for the 'latest' Mac Pro? do you need the latest chipset? there are plenty of great deals on used machines, ideal for photography, save the $$$ on the MP and spend the rest on some quality Lenses, I know a photographer that uses a G5 with no problems :)
remember as firestater states, raid is no back up plan, I use a raid 1 external system as it suits my needs.
Buying an older machine has crossed my mind. I will checkout the monitors, as I am not very picky, at least not yet. Thanks for clarifying your RAID 1 setup, as I am finally grasping the concept of RAID let alone when combined with the Mac Pro.
Also, I have not thought about a used Mac Pro from e-bay etc.., as an Apple refurb is nice, because I have a piece of mind with the warranty and I want to buy one-to-one in order to receive 'accredited' instruction pertaining to OS X, iLife, and all the included goodies. But you are right, I can save a lot of money and buy a camera, some glass, a case, and extra memroy cards on top of a Mac Pro. Food for thought!
I have to contact Apple regarding one-to-one, because I need to know if I can add it after my purchase. I know the web-site says something similar to this: "...with the purchase of a new machine...," but Apple reps have been known to bend the rules. ;) I want a 6 core or 8 core, but I am still thinking that a quad core will suffice for my editing, photography, and software needs. The difference between the aforementioned machines is measured by seconds, for the most part. Did I just talk myself out of a 6 or 8 core? :) Ultimately, I have to decide before Thunderbolt is replaced by Lightningbolt! LOL

That's the bottom line. You're dropping a c-note on a developer preview. If you want spend that much money to play around with go for it. In the past (except for SL) upgrades were costing around 125 so in theory you could save some money if apple follows that path. If they don't, you run the potential of over-paying for the OS

Please disregard the fact that I created an account on MacRumors out of desperation, or that you've probably heard of this before.
The situation is that I've had this First Generation iPod Touch. I've jailbroken it, it crashed once, I restored it, I used it until it crashed again. This time, I can't restore it.
1. I was reading around, (basically a post right before mine) and I found TinyUmbrella, as my iPod was stuck in the recovery state. I'm gonna see how it goes.
2. I don't remember too well, but before I tried fixing it, it was in the infinite Apple state.
3. I tried to do a regular restore. At this, I received: "unable to restore, unknown error code (6)".
-With this, I reinstalled iTunes.
-I tried to restore on a different computer.
-I switched USB ports.
-I restarted the computer.
-I turned off firewalls.
-I turned off AVG.
4. I entered DFU mode and I tried to do a regular restore. Same error code.
5. I downloaded some firmware and tried to do a restore. OS 1.1.4 gives me error code 1601.
-From time to time I get error code 1600.
-So I reinstalled iTunes.
6. I tried after reinstalling, same firmware version FOR the first generation, now I get Error 20.
-I've tried to fix, it doesn't work.
Uh, help? Appreciations to all.
Cheers.

I have a new MacBook Pro on the way, and I want to make sure I get it set up correctly.
On my iMac, I only have an Admin account. I've been told this is the wrong way to go, I should be using a User account.
When I first turn on the MBP, what is the correct order of steps I need to take to make a User account? Don't I have to make an Admin account first, to create a User account?
(If I remember from my iMac, it asks for my name, and .mac ID or whatever. Thats the reason why I don't have a User account, my info is already used by the Admin account.)
For 99.9% of the time, I will be the sole user of the MBP (as I am for my iMac). For they other .1% they can use the guest account.
Then in the same vein of questioning, is there a way to "downgrade" my current Admin account on my iMac to a User account?

The photos will be different, but the shutter sound, sounds the same. It seems like it takes the same amount of time to take each photo.
I suspect that a lot of the sound is due to moving the mirror up and down. The D3100 can only take images at 3fps. It is only when you get into shutter times of more than 3/10 sec that the time to take the image is longer than the 'mechanics' of the camera taking the picture. Or look at it another way if you take picutres at 1/1000 and 1/10 the camera still can only take three per second.
All the best

I wonder what the battery life is going to be like on this beast. It's going to scratch like mad unless they've got a new material for the front surface. And because it's all touch sensitive, no hard plastic cases.
Hmm, Intriguing ...
They'll probably be using a similar material to most PDA's (it's quite a bit more flexible and durable)
I can scrape my PDA (Dell Axim) up and down my carpet with no visible scratching.

Still 1, 1040AM. They will have everything in stock and start to hand out tickets at 4. Can someone come and keep me company so I am not freezing :D
I'll be there around 3:30, hopefully the line isn't too huge! Thanks for the updates.

There was a thread citing this blog post (http://blogs.zdnet.com/Murphy/?p=479) earlier this week that said that G4 costs apple something like US $72 ; while the current pentium m predecessor to the yonah is more than US $240. These are volume prices to the manufacturers. So unless apple is going to cut corners somewhere else I think the intel books will cost at least a little more.

iPhototoGoogleEarth (http://craig.stanton.net.nz/software/iPhotoToGoogleEarth.html)allows you to link photos to Google Earth so you can "fly" to that spot on earth. You need to have the photos geotagged already.
And to do that without the aid of a GPS device you can use Google Earth 4 and my Geotagger (http://craig.stanton.net.nz/software/Geotagger.html). It's a little droplet that gets the coordinates at the center of the GE view and inserts them into any jpegs you drop on it.

Also I think have 2 parts is more confusing than 1 big part. Thoughts?

This is at the top of my list, but I've been waiting a bit longer to get a little bored with the VC before getting it. I've seen several used copies at Ebgames for $35 USD (minus additional 10% with an ebgames advantage card) and almost rented it, but I know I'll end up owning it, so why bother.
I've only played the middle three MS games, on emulators both on my Powerbook and PSP when I owned the latter. Addictive as hell, just like you say, but also refreshing presentation that never seems dated - just inspired like the best comic book art and with totally tight controls and gameplay.
Even when i look at some next-gen 3d games, I'm still seeing stretched and distorted textures wrapped around blocky ragdolls. In fact, I don't remember ragdolls looking as blocky as some of the 3d models I see these days, plus most ragdolls appear to at least have their limbs securely attached to the torso unlike the models in, for example, MK Armageddon (based on screenshots of course).

I hide it instead of minimizing, as was suggested earlier. Works well, Mail takes up almost NO processor while hidden.
Only bad thing - when composing a new message (from the dock), it automatically brings Mail to the front, although I don't want it to.

Three mentions of page 2 articles on the front page though is too much I think. Maybe you can leave off the page 2 forum box at the right?

are cell phones not working across all the country ?
I did say that.
Most of the system was overloaded with calls, every time we tried it was a pre-recorded "system busy" message (Tokyo area).
We had much better success at using Skype and Yahoo to talk to friends the traditional phones/cell phones.
Of course areas directly in tsunami area would have neither, because it was all simply destroyed.

Over the course of time, mobiles will displace consoles.
We can already mirror the iPad 2 onto HDTVs. Not the best news for dedicated consoles. It's not perfect, but it's a powerful portent. Dedicated devices (as opposed to convergence) are destined to DIE.
iCal this. Then in 2-3 years revisit this comment and be astounded.
Consoles are not going to die. They're now the driving force behind gaming. They're even holding back PC games now, because Game developers want to maximise profit, by making sure their games can run on consoles. This prevents them from pushing the game to it's limits. Because they'd spend loads of money and only be able to run it on high-end PC's. PC Gaming is the one that's getting smaller.
Gaming is now worth more than movies and music, plus consoles don't just do gaming. My Xbox plays my games, connects me with my friends, we're usually in an 8 player voice chat party together so we can chat, and play separate games if we want. I video chat on MSN on my xbox, I rent 1080p movies on it from Zune sometimes, or just sometimes play a DVD on it. Usually it'll be running Media Center, streaming all my music, movies and photographs from my Laptop.
Physical controllers will always make better controllers for most games, minus a few exceptions like Monkey Ball and perhaps racing games, but then the more realistic gaming like Forza or Gran Turismo will require physical controllers, imagine having to look away from the screen to check where handbrake, or the gearstick was on the screen, and when you look back up, you've collided into a wall.
Touchscreen controls on a FPS are just plain horrible. And in terms of performance, portables will always remain behind dedicated consoles because they need to stay light, and obviously portable. Plus battery life would be dire if they crammed it with cutting edge video cards and processors.
And local multiplayer just would not work, sometimes when I don't want to play online, my friends might come over, and we'll play a 4 player race on Forza, or maybe Call of Duty/Halo.
Plus consoles are cheaper than the iPhone and iPad. (carrier subsidised cost plans don't count in this)
I'm not saying portables with a touchscreen are terrible devices, just that consoles are not going to die. And be replaced by portables. All I see is iOS grabbing a bigger share of the portable Market.
