Hit it on the head there sir!
I was giving serious consideration to getting a pimped up 15 inch MBP as a full on replacement for my 4 year old iMac and be mac portable. But thinking about it do I really need that level of power and lug around that much weight when I can buy the cheaper pimped out 11 inch MBA to use in conjunction with my existing iMac.
I'm REALLY taken by the form factor of the 11 inch. Instant on and just sling it in my backpack and go. Want to wait to see if sandy bridge turns up soon in one.
I was in a similar boat, except I had a mac pro, and decided to buy the macbook air 11. After losing some files trying to sync between the two computers, I returned the 11, sold hte mac pro, and couldn't be happier. BTW, I have iPAD for flights, etc. Plus I kind of need the extra power.

Unlocking service are already shutting down? This site has discontinued it after 2 days in operation.

They are supposedly not taking new orders until they can clear the backlog. By then who knows what Apple will have done. Somehow I do not think Steve is amused.

VW and Audi both have their respective ads as well; I like the Passat ad.

I am a television news story producer.
I tend to be editing video projects on my Powerbook, however I have run into a little bit of a snag and that is that I can not always leave my Powerbook "open" while it is rendering as I need to run to a series of meetings throughout the day.
Is it possible to set some option somewhere that will prevent my Powerbook from going to sleep?
It would sure make my life a whole lot easier, rather than needing to pause a render, close my PB, walk down the hall for a meeting, pop it back open, restart the render, open Pages and start taking notes.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Wow. Let's hope it looks better than that diagram. Anyways this would be the ultimate iPod (Could be a 4 or 5 inch screen). Of course, the screen needs to be more scratch resistant than previous generations. And they have to bump up the resolution on their iTunes store. But I'd be surprised if we see this anytime soon.
Judging by the size of the fingers, this thing is at least 5x7. :D
If the entire surface of the ipod isn't more scratch resistant than previous generations I probably won't buy one. I have my cell phone in my pocket all day and it is barely scratched after months of daily use. My iPod 5G got those fine scraches on it just from sliding it into the case that *Apple included with the ipod*.

generally i found the copy to be pretty good. it was punchy and there were some good analogies.
The video got the point across but was unrefined and generally needed to be tightened and focused. For example i would have stopped at the roommate eating the cereal because i get it and everything after becomes redundant. I think you're succeeding from a Communications perspective but the Filmmaking chops need to be developed.
I thought pocket change was the best shot (lower thirds could be a smaller font with a background transparency for readability).

Apple offers a 700MHz iMac for $499, and a 800Mhz iMac for $520.
Right now they are sold out, but a new batch of them will come in eventually.
But I agree that they shouldn't discontinue g4 emacs with the release of the G5 iMac.

Yeah, that's weird. I don't suppose it's an external drive or something else attached to the Mac. My iMac makes no noise when it's off. :o

If anyone gets an idea from Apple on the amount of stock they have at the store please post so those of us that can't come down until later today know our chances.
Thanks guys, wish I was there already.
They give us no clue on stock. We did see some unloading things, it looked like quite a lot.

I absolutely loved all of today's announcements! iTV sounds AWESOME I personally think.
Some people are complaining that the videos aren't high enough in resolution, but it will take off as is. Think about this for a second. The quality of music in the iTunes store is not near CD, and the movies are "near DVD"....the public didn't mind on songs, and I HIGHLY doubt that joe shmoe down the street will care about his movies. For all he is concerned, he would think it looks as good as DVD...The average user WILL NOT notice that what, 80 pixel loss on the width. I commend Apple, and am awaiting to see exactly what the potential of iTV really is!
As a note: iTunes 7 downloads movies SLOOOOOOOOW, maybe because Apple servers are overloaded, i don't know? All I know is for National Treasure a 1.5GB file, should take 33 minutes and 33 seconds on a 6 megabit connection that we have here. (Obviously, actual speeds are not close to 6, but 2-3 is def. sustainable) Even at 2 megabits, it should take 100 minutes, which is not bad at all. BUT, It has been downloading since 6pm and it is now 11:26pm with an estimated 35 minutes left!!! :mad: Either Comcast is ripping us off or Apple's servers are maxed out (which I suspect, because my internet is running pretty quick)
EDIT:
Hmmm....maybe I have my number wrong. According to iTunes, it is downloading at 565kb/s How many kb is in one gb? The one site I looked at says 1,000,000kb = 1gb. And 1 megabit = 125kb....are those numbers right or was the site wrong?

OWC here as well, specifically the mercury elite al-pro (http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB) models.
I use these too. I had one fail but it was replaced.
Then buy a Seagate drive. These have a 5 year warranty. For a disk drive 5 years is as good as "lifetime" Other brands are only 3 year. Check before you buy as there are odd exceptions,
You will need to buy four. One for data, one for a time machine backup and on for a rotating "ping pong" remote backup. What I do is buy a new drive about every year and retire the oldest drive. I always buy the largest size available so that after 4 or so years it is a usable size. You really have to get into a rotation and retirement plan in order to keep the data and the backup copies reliable

Thanks for your second reply. I have closed down the software now and will be heading to bed as it is 4am over here.
I think maybe I'll rule out this little project after all, or look at getting some kind of licence to do said activity.
Thanks for the heads up. :o

Hmmm.. I'm not a highly technical guy - not familiar at all with Terminal, don't really have an idea of what terms like bash, cron, tcsh are. I think this script is too complicated for the likes of me :) I went through it, but I have no idea of F@H is running, and it quit with an error.
It seems like mc68k's documentation is meant for those who are already familiar with folding & terminal, I was kind of hoping for a script that didn't demand technical knowledge.

So Office 2004 AppleScript can translate VB on the fly (and 2007 VB can translate AppleScript), or that's the goal and we aren't there yet?
Unfortunately, no. It needs someone (an AppleScripter who knows VBA) to do the translating. But time will tell if some of this can be done instead in the XML, which would be cross-platform for the new files.

The iPad 2 and iPhone 5 are still iPads and iPhones. Why would they get a separate forum anyway?
Well, the thought is that if there is a sub forum under each product for speculation, it would keep the main forum a lot cleaner. Right now in the iPad forum every other thread is another "what do you want to see in iPad 2?" thread. It makes it harder to find topics on the current iPad.
I have seen it done on other boards successfully and we already have sub forums for things like "launch meetups." Do we really need those still 7 months after a product is released?
There are a lot of products and it may not make sense in the imac/macbookpro/mac mini forums. But I would recommend it for the iPad/iPod/Iphone forums.
Just a suggestion though. It might be a lot of work to keep up with.

What you fail to realise is that Apple are giving their customers what they want. Apple customers do like to be restricted, that's why they are Apple customers and that's why they buy Apple products.
Right, that's why Android has taken over the #1 spot in the mobile space, and why there are threads with thousands of people asking daily for jailbreak updates? lol
