Not surprising at all. The iPhone costs more than an iPad, yet has a screen that is 1/4th the size. The electronics that make up a phone are cheap compared to screen, so clearly the rest is profit for either Apple or ATT.

You could do without the RAID-card altogether and just install 4 drives in the bays in the Mac Pro and use the ZFS filesystem (http://code.google.com/p/maczfs/) to make a dynamic stripe in RAID-Z, so you will get RAID-5 like performance but with better protection and data integrity.
Unfortunately, Apple ditched their development on ZFS, so no ZFS love for the Mac Pro and OS X.
If you chose FreeBSD or OpenSolaris, there is little point in buying a Pro in the first place as you can get better boxes for less for that kind of requirement.

So I was courtside for the UW-Milwaukee vs. Illinois NCAA Sweet Sixteen game last night covering it for UWM. I was right next to the basket in front of the Illini Band...BLASTING AWAY. The filled to capacity crowd in their orange, and our section in it's black and gold roared at unbelievable volumes upon each basket made. After about 20 minutes, and noticeing that some of the other photogs had iPods on, I figured what better place to put my Shure E3c's to the test, and I was getting a headache anyway. I grabbed my 60GB iPod Photo and my Shure's, stuck em in and...nothing. I heard next to nothing. With the exception of some incredibly "blatty" trumpets, there was nothing but a low and almost unnoticeable rumble coming from the outside. I spent the second half listening to my iPod, and it wasn't even at 75% volume...I love these earphones!

Speaking as a T-Mobile customer, I would LOVE to have Apple working with them on the iPhone. :D
It would make sense in a way. T-Mobile doesn't cripple their phones, unlike most of the other carriers here in the US (That's largely why I left Verizon for T-Mobile a year or so ago). An uncrippled phone would mean an iPhone that actually works the way Apple envisions.
I have a samsung t-809 with t-mobile as my provider. video-out, and the ability to customizable the four way keys (to something other then what they do out of the box) are disabled on the phone, along with a few other features (like the ability to ring and vibrate simultaneously... how silly!). So maybe they don't cripple them to the extent of other carriers, but they certainly still cripple them.

Hey guys,
I need alot of help. I convinced my sister to get an iBook a few months ago. I told her that mac is way easier than PC. Now it appears that her computer is freaking out. She is calling me for tech support and I don't know how to help her. She is having very strange problems. So I will have a series of threads to help me with these problems, I would greatly appreciate any input.
First problem: She was having trouble with video (I will get into this later) and I told her to repair permissions, prebind, etc. To do this I had her get Cocktail, I figured it would be the easiest way.
Now, after she ran it, she cannot open Microsoft Office or iPhoto. Office is the most pressing problem because she is a student. When she opens it she gets an error message telling her she has corrupt fonts (see attached pic). She then has to force quit, nothing will work. I would suggest a reinstall but she left the CD at home (the parents are mailing it up, so this will be an option later). I have ran out of ideas, but hate to leave my sister stranded! ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO FIX THIS?? Thank you all so much.

My wife and I were getting ready to leave for the airport, to fly to New York. A few weeks earlier, we'd gotten the news that her cancer had recurred, and we were going to see a specialist in New York. We didn't have the TV on, but my mother called and asked me if we knew what was going on. I said I didn't, and she simply said, "You'd better turn your TV on. You're not going to be flying to New York today."

Apple might not care individually from person to person, but they care that Android (and now Windows Phone 7) is stealing market share away from them. This is a fact, look at the figures.
If we didn't have wonderful hackers to JB these things for us and make them usable, it would be even worse.
Yep. I agree. And if you've used Android lately on a phone, you'd say iPhone what?!?! Apple still has the more solid tablet but Android OS will have that market by summertime as well.
Don't bother flaming, it's well documented in the sales figures that Android has taken the #1 spot in the Phone OS model... my only point is Apple is at a critical turning point in their history. They can give customers what they want, or restrict. Customers don't like to be restricted, and like me, seek alternatives when cornered.

We use Glyph drives at the (university) recording studio where I work, and they've been fantastic. They're the hot-swappable models (these drives (http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/GTKey500-8/)), but I've heard good things about all of their products. You'll find lots of specific models if you poke around Sweetwater's site.

This will be correct unless the nokia JV with microsoft saves the day for windows mobile
Rumor has it that MS will go dormant (if it hasn't already) and introduce windows 8 with Nokia.
With apple having Lion OS being very similar to iOS (a single iOS on phone and PC), Microsoft might go the same way for their mobile device (making it the same or even closer with windows 8 & windows mobile 8 (or worse windows mobile 7.5 and windows 8) but one OS aka Apple

Does anyone have a facebook fan page set up for your photography? I never really considered setting one up before. Just figured the website would be sufficient, and email for receiving messages and etc. But, today, on a whim I went for it and set up an artist page. It's actually quite interesting, and a whole different experience from maintaining your normal photography site. Actually, since I'm in the beginning stages of a new site design, which will essentially be a restructuring from the ground up for how it is utilized, do you think it is best to leave the interaction side of things to facebook and let the website be more of a deep archive of the work, resume, etc?
If you're interested in checking out the fb artist page I set up, which actually includes in progress images of new work I'm putting together, it can be found at http://www.facebook.com/andybloxhamimagery

Hmmm... now that you mentioned it, I don't think it has any jumper pins in it. I pulled it from an old Tivo box. What jumper does it need to have if I already have my main drive on SCSI?
If the drive you installed is the only IDE drive in the system then you need to set it as the master drive.

I'd suggest waiting if it plays games to your liking now. I believe the best so far is a flashed 5970, which is a pain from what I have heard. The best that is easy to do is the 5870. I'd keep the 5770 until apple releases new cards that are better and compatible with OS X.
Thanks a lot :)
Why is the 5970 hard to install?
Also, i noticed apples price for the 5870 is ridiculous (like AU$600). Does a normal 5870 work with SL natively?

Good news! Virtual PC for Intel Macs never made much sense anyway. Why go to great pains to emulate an OS that can run native?
Even better good news would be for the Mac Business Unit to develop a Mac-only version of Vista. Since it would target a very narrow set of hardware, it could be leaner, faster, more stable, and contain all the proper hardware drivers. Spared many of the woes of other Windows users, we'd be happy, and Microsoft would make more money as Mac users buy copies to use with Boot Camp or Parallel. They'd make far more with Vista for Macs than they'd ever make with Virtual PC.
All in all, I'd say things are going quite well in the Mac world.

That is correct. I've subscribed to their tethering plan but the personal hotspot item doesnt show up under settings/network. I'm guessing at this point that something about the jailbreak is suppressing this - or perhaps the mywi install?
If you are paying ATT for tethering, why do you have MyWi installed? You don't need both.

Who was asking why MS has to lockdown Windows with an absurd level of protection via WGA? Here is your answer.
If they only spent as much energy locking their browser security down as they did with WGA, there wouldn't be any spyware.

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?
