One of my many goals (that I'll probably never get the chance to finish) is to make an all-in-one console mod. All-in-one computers have gotten big, but the fact that gaming consoles have remained headless is interesting to me.
I've always thrown around the idea of an Xbox or the tray loading PS2 in a G4, but those probably aren't realistic. Jberg44 (http://forums.macrumors.com/member.php?u=368100) (Dremel Junkie (http://dremmeljunkie.blogspot.com/)) put the idea out there to use a GameCube.
My first reaction was to stick that in an Apple Cube to make an AppleGameCube. :cool:
Someone here once threw out the idea of an Xbox in an iMac G3. There's certainly a lot of space to work with.
Both machines mentioned are pretty cool, too!

Hmm, my title may be a bit misleading. I do understand Thunderbolt (I/o, 10 Gb's per sec, etc). However, some people have noticed the Thunderbolt port is the EXACT same as the mini display port. Whaddup with that? Does that mean, my old iMac with a mini display port is different than the coming iMac with a mini-display-port-renamed-thunderbolt? The ports are the same, it looks like they just renamed it.

Hello mac fans,
I've been looking all over the web for a high quality (as in an NTSC vob, or clear 720x480 VHS rip) of the original "1984" commercial for Apple's Macintosh.
(I'm not looking for a youTube version.)
I believe Apple itself used to host high quality mov files of the advertisment a few years ago, but not any more, unfortunately.
Please, if you know a working URL where I can download "1984", I would be grateful if you would point me towards it.
Thanks. Any ideas?

Well, this didn't really surprise me, seeing as how MS may have gotten their money's worth already by using the virtualization technology from Connectix in their Windows incarnations.
It was earlier said that MS Office and MS Messenger are the last 2 remaining applications that Microsoft is actively developing for the mac. I don't think Microsoft will drop these anytime soon as the former is a huge cash cow and the latter gives them a user base to compete with Yahoo! and AOL.

Get the ultimate, but if you can't afford that, definitely get the 4GB upgrade before the 2.13.

I have taken the plunge and ordered my new BTO iMac.
Specs:-
3.4GHZ Quad core i7
4 GB Ram. I have ordered 16GB from OWC
2 TB Serial ATA Drive
AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2 GB GDDR5
Wired numeric keyboard
Magic mouse
Applecare protection
Due in a couple of weeks as it's a BTO. I can't wait for the beast to arrive.
I'll post unboxing and benchmarks videos A.S.A.P.
Cheers....

The Airport card is great. The CD-ROM isn't.
Ya, $400-500 seems to be a fair value for the iBook G3 in question.

I am looking for a really good monitor for my 2010 Mini for use with Web Browsing and some games, as my trusty ol' Gateway finally died.
I am looking in the 22-24" area and do not want to spend more than say $350.00
Should I go LED or Not?
Need to be able to display MAX Resolution Mini can handle.

I have a friend with a similar machine where I think the graphics chip is getting flaky -- replacement logic boards are surprisingly expensive, though I found a couple places that will fix it mail-order for around $350 US. Apple might even fix it for around that price too. I'll be interested to see what you come up with.
Yes -- I posted on the Apple flat rate $350, out of warranty fix it plan. I was using it to get the logic board replaced on my 2006 original core duo mbp. They started the transaction for me in the apple store at the genius bar, and apparently the only real requirement is that the laptop isn't badly physically damaged or liquid damaged. You could probably start the process with applecare representatives as well, even though you're out of warranty.
They estimated 5-7 days to turn it around for me. After 10 days or so they were still waiting for the part. When I called they expedited it, then after another two days, just offered me a 50% discount on a new mbp.
I happily took them up on their order, and they set up a CTO 15" mbp for me at my request. Ended up saving over $1000 off of the full price. A very nice turn of events that, given how scarce those old logic boards appear to be, may well end up happening to you as well. If not, it's a fairly cheap repair, all things considered.

If it was any other store I would say no but Apple are famously accommodating (and probably more so if you've just spent thousands on a Mac Pro).
Then again, if you can afford said thousands, just buy the bluetooth keyboard separately and keep the wired as a spare!
I hope they are :)
That is not a bad idea.. but i'm planning to spend the left over $300 on some extra ram :D
If they aren't accommodating then i might just have to cancel my purchase ;)

Big screen TV's are a rip off...
Ummm...entertain me. Why do you think they're a rip off? (Keep in mind that "big" is a relative term. What do you consider a "big screen" TV? Thirty-two inches and up?)

He's talking about the OpenGL update that allows one processor to deal with OpenGL instructions whilst the other does, um, other stuff. It supposedly gives OpenGL performance as much as a 2x boost in speed.
I'm guessing it only works with Mac with multiple processing cores.
It's rather pointless without multiple processors/cores, so I'd say that's a safe assumption.

I'm not an expert on flashing cards (I was thinking about it, but wimped out and bought an Apple card), but I haven't heard much about people flashing NVidia cards. Something about the amount of memory and the size of the firmware....
It should be possible, I just haven't read about it happening.
I'm intrigued by the ebay link you sent. If you decide to try it, make sure to post the results.
However, for the $250 it costs you could buy a 5770 from Apple that you KNOW will work.
Also, and i'm just throwing this out there, Lion is coming out soon. People with advance copies have reported that the new OS will recognize PC-based ATI cards right out of the box. No need to flash or pay the apple tax.

If you want to write a 2D game and you're familiar with Objective-C then I think you want to be using the cocos2d framework. I've found "Learn iPhone and iPad Cocos2D Game Development" to be a valuable resource.

Stupid question here, does the iPad 3G GPS work without a data plan? I'm from Montreal Canada and still undecided if I should get the iPad WIfi 64gb or the 3G 32gb.
P.S.: I have a jailbroken iPhone 4 (firmware 4.1) with myWi.

A relative has an eMac, and I've been using her Sound Studio which comes installed. Now I have bought a Mac Mini and was saddened to discover Sound Studio does not come installed. With all the extra bells and whistles my "innexpensive" mini came to $850+... you'd think they could have included this one program
Would there be a way to get this pgm into the mac mini off the emac installation discs? I opened the emac disc 1 on the mini and did the "go to folder" thing (/volumes/ disc name /System/Installation/Packages/)
to see the installation packages, but sound studio was not there among the dozen or so choices.
There was a package listed called "additional software" in the directory but I'm hesitant to launch that. For disc 2, I could not discern the right "go to folder" path to get it to display other than a pdf saying "go to disc 1."
Any ideas? Or is all this a bit risky/dodgy?
