Yojiirill needs to check out Pinkerton.
Raditude is fun though.
Agreed!
Pinkerton is one of my favorite albums of the '90s!

The iPad is a direct competitor to consoles.
I plug it into my TV, grab my iPhone, and play games till I die ;)
Gee, will I be able to pickup a copy of SOCOM when it comes out next Tuesday for the iPad? Or Rockstars new game in May? This is just personal preference, but that's the stuff I want to play on my TV.

i got mine recently for around 75 bucks on ebay, and there were a alot to bid on at that time. As others noted though, the "demand" for them will only go down if you wait. It's just not associated with computers that are recent enough to warrant keeping or upgrading.

if the bezels have touch sensitive areas, wouldnt that be hard to just hold the ipod without accidently hitting one of the 238934843 areas?

well i figured that the chances of someone using a 10 year old camera on a 2 week old computer were not high. The funny thing is i got more help at FredMiranda than I did posting on the apple discussion Aperture forums.
Hopefully Apple will let me know what is up today or tomorrow.

i haven't actually chosen the TV yet, will be a 42" HD LCD is all i know for sure.
i am not worried about an incredible frame rate or anything, i only get 15 FPS now! but i was told that using DVI to TV will actually cause WoW to crash. i am not sure why, but that is the word on the warcraft board, so i thought i would see if anyone else had experience there.
i am not sure if this is an issue only with the intel machines, or only with DVI, if perhaps component works, etc, that is why i am looking for other experiences.
...i hope they update the mini soon, i am ready to buy, and the mini is due a refresh. ;-)
That's odd. For fun I hooked my comp up to my projector through DVI so my older brother could enjoy some ridiculously large WoW and it worked without issue. It was running from a G5 though, so I have no idea if it's just a an issue with the mini's.

I suppose yearly is about right, although some say more often is better. However the 2010 reviews did mention it was a silent machine, not sure if they meant that it's more silent than previous versions. I'm curious to find out if cleaning works for you and if it's indeed still not as silent as your sisters mini.

I think you mean translucent :p
Your right. I was more thinking about the process in making it translucent.
For some reason a translucent image is made by changing its "opacity"... I dunno why they don't call it "translucency" lol.

**Kernal Panic Issue I THINK?***
Hi I am having issues with my White Apple Macbook 13" 2.4ghz late 2008 model...One of the macbook memory slots is damaged but the other one is good...It runs fine and all before until now... How do I fix this and salvage this mac? I took apart my macbook and I found out that the adhesive on the macbook CPU + Heatsink is look...I can not screw in any of the screws to the heat sink as it does not fit because it dosent seem the case has any screw holes in it ( I just replaced the bottom housing)...
What do I need to buy the make the gray adhesive under the heat sink and on the CPU it self to make it stick? Will it fix the "shut down / restart " (kernal panic screen issue? )
**I have attached pictures for you guys to see. Let me know what I need to do...thank you..**

That is what gaming is ;). Sorry, but uh, gaming is killing time. You really think you do something productive when you game? No, you do something fun that you enjoy in your spare time. And if it isn't your spare time.. then you're going to find it hard to pay your bills in the real world if you are so addicted to gaming you are doing it rather than the stuff you *need* to do (like go to work).
This is a rant, so no comment necessary.
Depends on what you are talking about. RPGS like final fantasy? Sorry, really don't need tactile controls for that. In ways, touch is better cause you don't have to go scrolling for the command you want, you can instantly touch what you want to do.I never mentioned RPGs.
Honestly, we can take your argument further. Your console games suck cause they don't have enough controls like a computer game does. For example try doing a realistic flight sim on a console? Ain't going to happen. You need a lot more ability to do a lot of commands (and quickly, not just scrolling through), something having a keyboard with a lot more ways to have different commands, gives you. I'm actually amazed some one did a decent flight sim (of course it has the same problem as consoles do, but actually if I were on a bigger screen like an iPad, it probably could be better than consoles cause they can just have you touch the controls on the "dashboard" giving you more options to control than a controller with limited buttons. So once again, touch screen is better than a control pad, but only if you have enough real estate on that touch screen).
Not sure why you bring up consoles based on your earlier comment, or did you forget what you wrote? This happens from time to time when you tend to write to much. You lose your train of thought....snip Consoles shouldn't even be discussed in this discussion. That is like comparing apples and oranges, they really have no bearing in this at all.
In any regard, your knowledge of what is possible shows a fundamental lack of imagination. You seem to keep missing the point of more complicated control mechanisms, a gamer does not want to look away from the screen to find a control. Touch screen too often for complicated games has you looking for where the action button is.
Of course, for some games, the controller on a console is better cause you do want some simplicity. And then there are games like racing games where sorry, your controller SUX! I'll take my iphone's tilt control on a racing game over a frikkin d-pad or joy stick. Of course, the best for that is an actual steering wheel and pedals :).
Racing games suck for a non gamer. A controller gives more finite control of the physics of driving.
What type of control is best depends on the game ;). You can't just generalize here and you're being very short sighted if you think the controller is a end all be all and that there aren't things touch screen is better for.
None of which you proved in your counter points. Ask any gamer, any real gamer, what he would prefer Grand Turismo or Forenza.
I'm going to turn this around on you. Mario? Are you frikkin kidding me? Yeah, I am going to compare them both... they're both cheesy little games. What is with some of you people and your Mario love? There are far better games out there. And I hate how Nintendo just does Mario everything. Mario racing cart? Why not Gran Turismo? That's a far better and much more in depth racing game. Even Need for Speed is far better.
Mario is a great party game when you have people over I guess. Nintendo I suppose is good for kiddy games and social games. But honestly, I can't believe you're holding up the Mario name and having some sort of snub about being a real gamer. Mario is as much a time waster as Angry Birds (Which honestly isn't a bad thing, cheesy games that are just fun but you don't have to get into can be fun in their own right. But don't frikkin sit there and tell me I don't like in depth games and use *mario* as your example. Shoot, in general Nintendo isn't better for that really, they're "time wasters" are just in a different format. I would honestly think some one who cares about in depth would be more interested in Xbox or Playstation. I'm sure Nintendo has some but I am sure having a hard time finding any for the Wii my mom gave me).
Damn, you really just don't get gaming. Your comparisons show it. Yes there are better games than the Mario series, but better is subjective. Younger people may not get Metal Gear Solid/Socom/GTA etc. Your dislike or not understanding the popularity of Mario is not relevant. Millions and millions and millions of Mario games sell,. Why? Because people like them. You stand alone and out of the loop. But that's OK. It's you're personal preference.
In regard to Mario Cart specifically, it is one fun game to play alone or with people, especially if you have children. Totally different audience than Gran Turismo. The in depth comment was not used in relation to Mario. You got that mixed up. However, the Mario side scroll and 3D games are in comparison far more in depth and challenging than "Angry Birds." Sorry that is just the way it is.
I thought when you said depth you meant actually having a story and having to get into the game to finish it cause you need to get through all sorts of levels vs. this game is fun to play at any time. Most of Mario isn't something you need to get into for long periods of time, you can pick it up and play for a bit, play with others, have fun, but you aren't really getting into some extended play (I'll give you that Mario RPG had a story, but it still was more cheesy/humorous. I still prefer my Square soft RPGs, and even Breath of Fire IV).
You're guessing what I'm thinking now?
Well.
1. Usually multiplayers require the people run the same system so your scenario wouldn't happen.
That is why I used "if possible". The precedent for multi platform interplay is being set by Steam with PS3, MAC and PC on Portal 2. Maybe you missed my earlier link.
2. I prefer solitary games to multi-player games (I will admit I'm not huge into games like Doom or whatever the equivalent is these days. The only shooting games I like are ones with a good story, usually horror story, like Silent Hill). My favorite games have a story that unveils as you play it, usually those are more solitary games. So I don't really care about playing against others..
That old personal prefrence thing is rearing it's ugly head again. No one cares about what you like.
3. Which makes sense I am not a huge Nintendo fan, it's great more for social and kiddy games. Sony and Microsoft cater more to my kind of games.
I took the libertiy to highlight some key items in red. These indicate the "I"ism of your thinking. Never try to make a point in forum relation to yourself. In this case the I's don't have it.

I'm an Apple fan through and through, but are you guys listening to yourselves?
It's fine when DVD John breaks Macrovision, but not ok when he messes with DRM?
Who's messing with the consumer more? A movie studio that offers you a phsyicaly DVD they have to package and distribute full of extras (sometimes more than one disc) for, like, $14.99? Or a record company teaming with Apple to charge $0.99 for intellectual property packed in ones and zeroes?
(If ever there were a less-of-two-evils situation, this is it!).
In any case, I think it's wrong and actually don't like seeing this happen to Apple, but I think it's just as wrong as messing with DVDs or or any other's companies products. They have a right to offer their produts with whatever protection they wish and lock out competitors, and if consumers don't like it, they shouldn't buy it.
As for the whole "how much does the iTunes make for Apple" debate, I think the person who calculated $1.5 million a year was way under. He assumed .5 cents per track, but I believe it's more like 2 or 3 cents per track Apple makes. Plus, saying $1.5 million is just a fraction of Apple's profit is a lame argument. How much do you think boxed copies iWork contributed to Apple's bottom line in '05? Less than that, I bet. Or how about the Mighty Mouse? Any one SKU in Apple's lineup isn't going to amount to much - when added together, it's what gives them their incredible sales figures.

Wow! NeoOffice loses it at line 20. Even with parentheses like this: '=(A1*6)-1'
:confused:
Actually, if you change the decimal place in Excel to 7, it begins to lose it at row 12

Hi, I've got a plist file with jpeg photo data in it. I need to get that photo out. I can read the plist file into an NSDictionary and can access the object at the key "jpegphoto". The problem is that the object returned is an NSCFArray that I have no idea how to work with. I can print it and I see a nice stream of octets come out, but that's all I know how to do. How do I get this NSCFArray into NSData or a byte array?
The CFArray when passed to NSLog like so
NSLog(@"%@", [data_dictionary objectForKey:@"jpegphoto"]);
Spits out hundreds of line similar to
5ed15ee6 df44b2ff 00899699 0dd23b58 dccdcadc 6c8d04e1 8b3e1940 af76953e 7c0e1b56
I know that it is a CFArray b/c I did
NSLog(@"%@", NSStringFromClass([[data_dictionary objectForKey:@"jpegphoto"] class]));
And got back
NSCFArray
Thanks

Apple doesn't give a damn about the shareholders any more than they do about the customers, sorry.
What makes you say this? I'm curious about your take on Apple's motives.
Personally, I think that Apple goes above and beyond to please the shareholder. They may do it in a different way than other Fortune 500 companies (i.e. vertical integration, small portfolio of products, compete in focused markets), but you can't argue the results. Apple has been rewarding the shareholders for close to a decade now, with very few hiccups.

If server side programming isn't an option for you, another option is to add a unique id to all your pages (<body id="homepage">) then use that in your CSS to style it differently. I prefer the server-side approach myself, but I'm a developer.
#homepage a, #otherpage a { }
#homepage a, #otherpage a { }
