Late 2010 13" MBA. The internal display has just started flickering. This is completely absent at half-brightness (say, the way the screen dims when idle), but at full brightness it's VERY noticeable. Not affected by whether or not I'm plugged in. Just started today. No effect from sleeping, rebooting, power cycling, etc.
I'm just guessing that this means I have to drop it off at an Apple Store and wait a week, doesn't it.

I think that's a much more likely possibility. It's smart to patent anything you invent, even if you have no intention of using it for anything.
I agree with you. I'm not completely convinced that Apple is going to ever implement a full screen video iPod. Remember, a lot of the things that we mac fans are just "SURE" Grand Master Stevie is going to do never materialize (i.e., when is that G5 PB coming out again?:p ) for one reason or another.
It looks nice. We'll see what happens. For now, I'm still happy with my 20 gig U2 Ed. iPod.

1. Apple officially announces that Boot Camp will be part of Leopard.
2. VMWare announces their product for OS X.
3. Microsoft kills VPC for Mac as it becomes pointless and sort of redundant.
After all, if they can sell the regular version of Windows to intel Mac users, why bother wasting money on something other companies are doing (VMWare and Parallels).
You want Windows on your Mac, use Boot Camp/buy VMWare or Parallels and then buy Windows like everyone else. No extra R&D funds/time required to enter the "Mac market", which thanks to Boot Camp is "all intel Mac users".
It's a simple business decision.
Yeah, this joke has been around forever. It originally was used when Windows 95 first came out. It isn't technically valid for NT, 2000, XP, or Vista. Those are just 32-bit (or 64-bit) OSes by a 2 bit company. :-D
Well, how about "Windows Vista: a 64-bit OS that can almost emulate a 32 bit shell running on a 16 bit extension of an 8 bit OS designed for a 4 bit CPU, made by a 2 bit company that can't stand one bit of competition."? ;-)

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but this is most likely for cameras that either have GPS integrated already (and some do) or for cameras like the Nikon D200 or D2X that have a port on the side specifically for hooking up a GPS device like this one:
http://www.redhensystems.com/products/video_collection_hardware/d2x-gps.asp
Since the EXIF standard contains a flag for GPS-data, they just didn't finish the feature yet. They will.
So no, the iPhone isn't going to be a gps camera pda music playing satellite radio streaming HDTV. Get over it. The iPhone already came out, and flopped (how many ROKRs do you see?) My guess is that if Apple really wants to move into that space, they're going to have to serriously look at their market, and their network partner.
Though Cingular has more users, Verizon and Sprint both have the high-speed data networks capable of integrating a phone with iTunes. Cingular simply doesn't. Verizon users spend, on average, more on downloads than any other non-MVNO provider.
Oh, and as for GPS already being in phones, it's there. Every phone sold after 01/01/04 had to have a GPS tracking device installed for use in Emergency situations. Providers were given six years to get a 95% adoption rate. Ever notice that little crosshair in the top? That means you've got a GPS lock. With SiRF-III GPS chips, you can be pretty well underground and still get a signal, esp. when it's repeated by your cell towers.
This isn't an iPhone clue. Get over yourselves.

Welcome to the Mac community. You'll find people here that have some great knowledge. I have a G3 400 and I think OS X rocks on it. Can't complain too much about speed. Going to ZIF it soon.

Hi everyone - being a newbie the following:
Just installed a bigger and faster new HD in the mini - is there any way to start the OS installation without a wired keybd? (i.e pressing 'c' ) all I get now is some DVD churning sounds and a grey screen telling me to restart the machine.
If there is no way - how would I go about ejecting the darned DVD out of the mini without taking everything apart?
hoping for some good answers.

The use of restraint without launching into an extended Dragonforce or Joe Satriani showoff solo was a good move.
lack of talent maybe haha? i thought a lot of it was very simple but well put together.
The prudent use of double bass on the drums was good as lesser bands would over do the double bass drum beat.
argh i hate that term, i always think of an actual double bass and not the actual term of "double kick".

So I have two wireless controllers for my xbox, and I would like to use one of them with my macbook. My question is, is there something I can buy to make my wireless controller wired? I don't really want to buy a whole new controller, as I don't really need it.
I know with the play and charge kit, it plugs your controller into the xbox, but I'm guessing that is for the battery only, and the controller continues to send signals wirelessly.
I have a feeling there isn't a way, but it never hurts to ask.

As long as you are keeping everything together there is absolutely no problem and no gray area about it.
Apple does like to register Macs to a person or company, mostly for warranty reasons. They will change the registered owner upon request of the new owner.
The license number is not an activation like Windows Genuine Advantage, (WGA), its just a license number. It wont actually stop you from pirating it. It'll only complain if it see another SLS with the exact same number on the same local network.

Maybe it's just me, but my PC blazes through SETI work whereas it took it a solid month to get through my first (and only) bit of Folding work.
You may have received a large WU. They are different sizes in folding. However, there points are relative to the size of the WU.

This is probably old news, but I just noticed from the screenshots that there will be adjustable grid spacing for the Finder in Leopard. I am really happy about this.

I will try to be a little more descriptive.
The interface resembled large folders, like the ones on the finder. They were pinkish and tan-ish.
Also, there were buttons for each application on the folders. These buttons were square. Hope this helps in finding out the name.
Also I believe that its name starts with a 'P'

Sure. After using it for no more than one minute. The battery life is far better! :rolleyes:

I wonder how these companies got access to Apple's database. Why doesn't Apple keep better watch on it? And couldn't Apple just find out who's been accessing the database, and not allow connections from that source anymore? This all seems shady to me.
Most likely they didn't, and there is no DB breach. Numerous foreign carriers will unlock iPhones they sell to comply with local laws or to please their customers. They are probably going through one or more legit foreign carriers.

This is a total no-brainer. T-Mobile doesn't have it's own network, it rents its airtime from Cingular...
Excuse me... what planet did you say you lived on? T-Mobile has always had their own network. At one time they shared infrastructure with cingular in California and Nevada and T-Mobile shared their metro NYC market with cingular.

SLC BB. Total = 1. Sad really, I thought I would have company besides the homeless. It's ok though, I shared some of my breakfast burrito I had from McDee's.
Not bad at all. Hopefully it stays small like that until I can get there. I wonder how many they have. Keep the updates on the line coming.
