New Mexico is well on its way to hosting the world’s first commercial passenger spaceport as Foster + Partners’ Spaceport America was dedicated this weekend. A partnership between the state of New Mexico and Virgin Galactic, the first-of-its-kind building is chock-full of state-of-the-art energy-saving features. Unfortunately, on the heels of the much anticipated project is a study showing that the fuel used for the space vehicles based there could significantly contribute to global warming. Turns out the spaceport, one of America’s greenest buildings, will be home to one of its dirtiest forms of transportation.
Located near the city of Las Cruses, the projected LEED Platinum building uses site-appropriate design and deeply integrated technologies to reduce its energy consumption. The low-profile building rises from the ground like a small hill and is made from locally sourced materials. Visitors enter though a passage cut into the terminal’s embedded mass. On either side, a series of earth tubes precondition the interior’s air and a ground-source heat pump helps reduce HVAC needs by a substantial 50-70%.
At the core of the facility is a large solar thermal and electric array which also allows light to penetrate to the lower hangers. A series of apertures dot the roof, allowing more natural light throughout the facility. Since it’s located in a desert, houses large equipment, and a large volume of people produce heat within the facility, it uses chilled beams in the public areas, radiant in-floor cooling, and displacement cooling in the large hangar to reduce energy demand. Natural ventilation takes care of the rest of the cooling needs. Water catchment, thermal mass, low-energy embedded materials and a slew other features ironically keeps the building well grounded.
The facility is expected to offer at least two space flights a day.
Awesome.

i know...im really unsure of what to expect considering wifi release, presales, etc. so i'll likely spend most of my mid afternoon around shopping and keeping a close eye. plenty of things around.
Yup - my wife and I will be doing the same thing. She'll of course be doing the shopping while I keep an eye on the line at the Apple Store.

I am interested in purchasing the iWork suite, in particular for Pages, however I have a query and would be very grateful if anybody could provide assistance. I know Pages supports the import and export of Word documents but am curious as to how well implemented this function is? Exporting accurate, error free word documents which may be viewed in perfect working order by users of Office for Mac and Windows would be a necessity and I'd like to know how well Pages does this job?
Thank you for your time.

Sounds good. :) What about Numbers? I pray they don't dumb it down like Pages, please!
Pages rock! Your crazy....also I hope lasso is not the final name

How it looks may ultimately depend on your TV, but generally it looks fine. Keep in mind it will not be as sharp as a monitor however because most graphics used in your apps were not built with a 10 ft. viewing experience in mind. Apps like Plex were built with this in mind and which is why the GUI still looks great 10 ft. away.
Not saying that other Apps will have horrible resolution, but something like typing a paper or sending an email will probably not be the best experience on such a large screen.
If I were you, I would not plan on doing everything on a 50 inch plasma. Things like Plex or maybe music composition are fine, but day-to-day computer tasks seem to be annoying on such a large screen. Maybe consider two different outputs if your setup allows for it.
Good luck

Does anyone know if such instructions exist for the Time Warner TV app?
You can try it and see. In theory it should work.

Hi, im trying to find a mid-high range pro mic for the imac. ie condenser, pop filter...etc and ideally USB connection, but not sure if i would loose/gain quality using this method of connection, any advice would be great!!

I have an Apple BT mouse and it really is great. The response time is very good and I've gotten use to the one button over two. Actually, I've gotten more use to keyboard commands that take place of the right click in many cases.
I looked at the Bluetake 500 that you have McGarry...looks pretty good...how much?

Do you have pictures? Curious about the refinish! How much did it cost you to do?
I'll be posting the pictures later on tonight. I'm currently at work and don't have access to them. As regards the finish I did it myself and it really helps. As you know the chrome scratches extremely easy.

What a cash machine. These guys are just printing money these days. What a difference compared to just a few years ago....
I would like to think that apple is getting payed for their hard work and innovation...

I may be wrong, but doesn't iTunes convert WMA songs automatically? I'm working on switching over a friend and got him to use iTunes as a start and I think he said when he imported his WMA's it converted them...
Your right iTunes does convert unprotected WMA's. At least that's what it says here. (http://www.apple.com/itunes/import.html)
Edit: I just realized this is an old thread. iTunes probably didn't have that feature at the time. I need to start paying attention :rolleyes:

You know the LG Chocolate for Verizon has that type of technology...

You can't see the buttons, but on the bottom left and right corners, there are touch sensitive buttons.
I tested it at the Verizon store.

I have put the following code in the header:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script type="text/javascript">
function detectBrowser(){var browser=navigator.appName
var b_version=navigator.appVersion
var version=parseFloat(b_version)
if ((browser=="Safari"||browser=="Konqueror"||browser=="Microsoft Internet Explorer")
&& (version>=0)) {alert("Your browser environment is not fully supported!")}}
</script>
</HEAD>
<body onload="detectBrowser()">
</body>
</HTML>
The "Microsoft Internet Explorer" detection works on my PC. I just don't get it why the Safari and Konqueror detection does not. I have found the tip at http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_browser.asp

let me see if i understand the resolution thing:
we'll be able to adjust the resolution of monitors to really high settings, but instead of everything having to be tiny (windows, menus, text, etc.), we'll be able to make them normal size without them looking crappy? sounds awesome to me.

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.
