Actually, I have been looking for a new monitor and was really hoping that the ACDs would be updated. At the very least, their price is almost twice that of a similar display from practically everyone else. Granted, they have a nicer design, but a 6ms refresh time is pretty slow these days.
Hardly. The panel is a S-IPS LG.Philips LM230W02 (for the 23"). This is probably the very best panel you can buy anywhere for a 23/24". The displays you are talking about aren't similar displays at all - they are inferior PVA or TN types. Hence, the price. Faster response times (for gamers) don't appear in S-IPS panels - only in cheaper TN types.
A comparable display is the NEC LCD2490WUXi which you won't find for under about $1100. The ACD 23" is in fact for the quality of the display good value. The main problem with it is the lack of inputs and the 1 year-guarantee.
The only change that Apple could make to the 23" is to things like the inputs (which personally I would like to see) because there is no better panel. Of course they could change to a 24" but this is not a better panel. Just a slightly larger one.
One legit worry is if you buy the 23" now, and Apple changes to a 24" then buying a second panel will be a problem.

I've had a similar problem with different types of symptoms.
Generally, if a CD inserted into the drive doesn't mount, then the eject button doesn't work. Login in and out or a restart either mounts the CD or I can use the eject button held down at start-up to open the drive. (Does the eject button work OK with disks that mount?)
Some CDs won't mount because they have non-standard tinting on the disc or they are scratched in the wrong place. In some cases the OS reports that the CD is unreadable.
My question to you is did the optical drive play up soon after you got the machine or has it been normal for a while then played-up?
I don't think that the device IDs are a problem as they are on different ATA buses, but I'm no expert on ATA.

They ship more and more products to the market, their profits keep going up and up, truly there seems to be no end to this golden age. Apple is truly an achievement, soaring upwards cutting through this recession like a hot knife through butter. I love private business. <3

Hey guys -
I narrowed my choices down to these two. Just need a little more input to make my final decision. Thanks all.

Competition regulation in many EU countries require apple (or providers) to unlock any handsent with some restrictions (you may have to prove you've waited a certain time, or you are required to pay a fee etc), but I know that in France for example the provider that sells the iPhone there is required to unlock any handsent provided it was sold at least 6 months ago, for a 100 euros. Even if it wasn't bought/sold in France.
Some countries like Belgium don't even allow sim locked phones (or used to not allow) and some carriers sell them with out sim lock by choice in others, like Slovakia, and then some other countries I think can only unlock phones that are locked to a certain providers network, like Hungary T and Voda I think can only unlock T and Voda iPhones respectively, but perhaps phones bought on other networks (Ie T-mobile Germany, or Voda UK or New Zealand or whatever) some of these services maybe taking advantage of these work arounds. If this is the case, these unlocks are legal and Apple has no legal way of relocking these phones. IE in france they HAVE to unlock your phone even if it is ATT... or one would think so logically. Although this info maybe off, but it was definatley the case during iPhone 3g sales...

Anyway, Im sending it back and getting a refund but I wanted to confer with you guys about a good, but cheaper (under $100 please) firewire 800 drive thats good for recording to. This will be my recording HD. Can anyone recommend some for me? and shooting a link to a place that sells it would be appreciated! ..and the more recommendations the better

The shopping cart system I used for my wife's and my shop (A Trade For A Trade (http://www.atradeforatrade.com)) is OpenCart (http://www.opencart.com). I think it has the best code structure and admin panel design, so I also use when designing e-commerce shops for clients. In terms of your concerns:
1. OpenCart does have a template system, although it's not Smarty-based. It's pretty easy to learn though, as it's just HTML and PHP. Templates are uploaded via FTP and then you can switch between them via the admin.
2. OpenCart has many self-contained extensions, and some that require code edits. However, the recently-released vQmod (http://www.vqmod.com) system now allows for extensions that modify the code without actually modifying it. Extensions aren't installed through the admin like WordPress, but most well-written extensions are just upload-and-go.
I don't know if you'll find it the best fit, but that's my recommendation.

ICO HD + SoTC HD + The Last Guardian + Project Dark(Demon's Souls spiritual successor) = More win than the brain can sustain.
Add trophies to the mix and this just became yum yum.
Bless
I would personally be pleased if trophies and achievements were dropped. At the minimum, don't pop up on the screen that I got one. It bring me out of the experience.
I hear a few games are actually more helpful with 3D from what I read GT 5 utilizes it like you can see a little better who's behind you etc and NBA 2k11 shows of pretty well especially during replays.
3d wouldn't necessarily help to see who is behind you. It has the possibility to help you see how far behind you they are.... I really doubt it will make ANY game better. It sure didn't make Nintendo's Virtual boy good :-D

Apple's marketshare is still too low for that to have any effect on Office sales. What will disrupt Office is the move toward internet based apps. I still believe that Office will dominate for awhile.
However, a down-tick or two of marketshare will have a dramatic effect on the stock price and on computer users perceptions about Microsoft's monopolistic dominance.
The Microsoft dam is starting to leak.
Absolutely. I didn't mean Apple's current marketshare can dent Office sales on the whole. I meant that Apple users - Office for Mac users - they will switch in droves if iWork includes a decent spreadsheet app. I think it's virtually a lock.
But yes, the dam is starting to leak. Getting the majority of Mac users off Office and on to iWork is the next step in the process of removing MS from our lives completely. And not a moment too soon.

I think that within a year or two even consumers will be demanding more picture quality. Even cheaper displays are beginning to have more contrast and wider gamut than crt's used to have. With new displays consumers start to see PQ problems with older content. This leads to demand for higher PQ content. Here in Finland, sd-dtv was generally considered high quality with older crt's, but when hd-lcd's got more common, people started complaining about artifacts.
And maybe even smaller movie companies start realizing that they need color management...:rolleyes:
Well Said!! Agree totally --- thanks for the thoughts.

This is great. Looks like you put a lot of work into it.
Maybe a couple of 'pro' apps could be used?
Yeah, my only regret is that, at the time of shooting, FCE didn't want to work (I think I need to reinstall) so I was left with Aperture. :o

Yeah I called right before they closed also. The guy didn't have any solid knowledge of a shipment, but confirmed the 9am early open if they have ipad inventory.
I'll probably head over around 7:30... is that early enough?
It better not be raining!!!

Any updates on the situation there? I got in line for a walk in but left once I found they were letting only 1 walk in for every 50 reserved people. Did they sell out? Did walkins get many phones???

A handy link is this one (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=1&day=15&year=2008&hour=9&min=0&sec=0&p1=224) from timeanddate.com, which shows a wide range of cities.
I'll add that link to my main post.
You forgot the most important time zone:
1:30 - Newfoundland
I'll add that time to my main post aswell.
EDIT: Before I add it, is that PM or AM?

Anyone who for some reason doesn't understand resolution independence just needs to know one thing: there isn't a downside. Don't worry about it. A lot of computer games are resolution independent these days (including the UI) and nobody freaks out about that, eh?

I would imagine that the internet will present it's share of problems. Having the OS scale won't solve the problem of everything on the internet being 72 dpi. Yes, we can scale the text, but I'd imagine it will still be a huge mess once they start cranking up DPIs on the monitors.

Chill....I didn't seen it. Besides, it was bound to happen. It's easier to find in the main forum.
Edit: Thanks for moving it!
Where is the best place for jailbreak news. I thought it would be here, but based on the response of this posting, makes me think there is some other place.
Like, I just want to know if 4.3 is untethered broken for iPad 1, but there is no clear answer here on this forum.
Thanks!

my 3G is dying too :) but I need iPad 2 first
i would rather go with dumb phone and iPad 2 for use in school etc
My wife's phone died right after I got my iPad 2...gave her my iP4 and convinced ATT to give me an early upgrade, got an HTC Inspire(Great phone for the record). On your point though, the iPad 2 took away any sadness the iP4 left:) Youll love it man!
