Funny thing about the new gawker media sites is that they pretty much lost a ton of their traffic after the switch to the new layout.

Fail design is fail.
Also ca.gizmodo.com works fine for me. But I prefer their RSS feed anyway.

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.

Hey guys,
I have a powermac g4 digital audio I believe, 700 mhz processor. I also have 2 powermac g3's I believe the fastest that created. 400 mhz or something like that. I have another g4 with the 350 processor that I can test the power control which with but it would be a pain because my grandparents are using it so it would take a while to get it unhooked/dug out, they use it as a paper holder behind a desk cords and everything are ran through the desk.
Here's my 3 questions:
1. The Powermac g4 when you push the power button it lights up but when you release it goes out. The logicboard does not respond. Should I buy a new power control module or is there a way to use the one from the g3, it looked different at first glance.
2. To run a home server is it better to run a g4 with the faster processor or a g3 with more ram, the g3 has 4 slots the g4 only 3.
3. Best way to use as a media server I was thinking put everything into itunes and use the homesharing, is that available in tiger? Is that the best way to do it?
It will be used with apple tv, macbook, powerbook, ibook, imac g5, xbox 360?
Thanks in advance for the advice.
Here's the short version:
1. Which powermac to use as a server?
2. Best way to do media server?
1.) The logic board is fried. (Don't buy a new one)
2.) Niether, you probably don't need a server and even if you do a G3 or G4 is simply to slow for the job. Buy yourself a bottom of the line Mac Mini with an external RAID 1 drive for your media server "needs". Also make sure you get 4GBs minimum on the RAM.
3.) Get 10.5/10.6 if you have intel and run something like Plex.
Cheers

Hi
I'm aware the iPod/iPhone isn't able to play .avi, but as I have a jailbroken iPod Touch I was wondering if there is any program which allows you to play .avi files?
I'm also aware of a program which allows you to play .avi directly from your pc, but I'm looking for something with which you can put .avi's on your iPod and then play them.
I'm asking this because I'm sick and tired of the converting proces...
Thanks in advance!

I'm going to skip the macbook air, until apple creates a hybrid macbook air/ ipad. It's obvious with Lion that they are starting to make a mac operating system that can be both used regular OS X style, but also switch to touch screen style. I sure hope they can pull it off and make a true hybrid OS, and not two nerfed operating systems strangely conjoined. It will be one of the hardest programming tasks apple has ever faced. Once they have a macbook air where you can rip the screen off and use it like an ipad, then reattach the keyboard (much like the new ipad 2 smart cover) and then use it like a laptop, they'll own the entire mobile computing industry.

I agree. Most likely it is the hard drive. The blinking folder with the question mark is when it cannot find a bootable version of Mac OS X to boot from. Boot from the install disc and use disk utility. As you said, a hard drive shouldn't be too dear unless you get like a say 320GB solid state drive (hehe...)
Good luck with that old Mac.

Glad to see this generation wasn't a flop.
I'd buy an 11"er if it had a backlit keyboard and the price was around $800. Personally, just saying. And no, I don't want an iPad.

OK so my new iPad 2 has no jailbreak yet. So do I leave it at 4.3 or just upgrade to 4.3.2 for now? What's everyone else doing?
