OK, am I the only one who thought that this was about World of Warcraft?
Looks like it :)
I think "Wow!" every time I pass my hand over my Cube to wake it up or put it to sleep. And the G3 Powerbook still wows me as a piece of design. All my ex-Macs get passed on to my kids.

I may be wrong but I suspect that the success of iPod / iTunes is as much about ease of use and pleasant experience that comes from Apple's, hopefully patented, software and hardware interfaces. There was inevitably going to be ways around the system like this but I am not convinced this news will herald a disaster for Apple.
I don't see clunky interfaced Zunes and the like suddenly becoming more tolerable because they can now hack a tune from iTunes to play on it. Perhaps a hack that allowed an iPod user to buy and run music from a cheaper source might be more successful and that would damage iTunes sales but at the same time increase iPod sales maybe?

I don't think I've ever heard anything bad about PNY RAM, and $50 is definitely a good deal (and Newegg is the best).

Ok, quick facts and will answer questions if I miss anything. In Laws asked me to look at their Macbook, I work on PC's mainly so took into apple to have them look it over. Told it needed to be sent off to the depot. Had them pop the case and verify no water damage, the girl came back told me there was no sign of water damage and that it would be a flat rate of 280. So I gave them the go ahead to send it off. Get a call 6 days later that they found microscopic corrosion and that this shows water/liquid damage, but there were no signs of water/liquid damage on the case or metal inside the laptop, I asked for a pic to be sent to see what they are talking about. So tell me, do you see any corrosion in this pic, and how should I go from here, the price told to me was 755, I so far have them down to 430, and they are holding firm there.

Bad in that the stuff that is encouraging people to move over is the angry bird type games and that it appears to make the more in depth stuff isn't as profitable. So in the long run we may not see as many games come out that are profitable.
Well, when you have people complaining about the price of 2 euro games, then you know the market is just a rush to the bottom. Simple games that can be quickly and cheaply made; with very little depth. I prefer longer, more involved gameplay too, but who's going to make those games with the price point so low?
Already it is sad when you look at the console market a lot of games are just games based on popular movies and not much innovation (cause the games based on the movies make the money and stuff like Okami and more innovative stuff gets ignored). I remember when I was reading an article complaining about how that was the trend in games (it happened to movies too once blockbusters came out. Movie studios were more interested in making blockbusters than unique movies, basically finding a formula that worked and sticking with it rather than trying anything different).
I agree, it's the same thing. If you want to make a big game (or movie), you need lots of money. That means you need an investor - whose motivation is making a profit. To make a profit you then have to sell a lot of copies, so the game has to be mainstream. It has to be low-risk, so will stick to conventional, proven game-types. Great for investors, boring and predictable for gamers.

Let's face it, Microsoft can't compete.
See, here's the problem.
They really can't compete. Microsoft's best guys are on the XBox project.
They are screwing up ACROSS THE BOARD.
- Their newest release of Exchange is a CRASH Nightmare.
- IIS 6.0 can be crashed with a Large Sql Query to a DataGrid.
- Their development staff couldn't handle "Checked Exceptions".
( Too lazy for Error Handling? )
- So, with something as Complex as Virtual Pc,
you have to wonder, how deep is the bench?
Not Deep Enough.
Microsoft, soon to be the: "Microsoft Game Company".
In games they're fairly competent.

Competition regulation in many EU countries require apple (or providers) to unlock any handsent with some restrictions (you may have to prove you've waited a certain time, or you are required to pay a fee etc), but I know that in France for example the provider that sells the iPhone there is required to unlock any handsent provided it was sold at least 6 months ago, for a 100 euros. Even if it wasn't bought/sold in France.
Some countries like Belgium don't even allow sim locked phones (or used to not allow) and some carriers sell them with out sim lock by choice in others, like Slovakia, and then some other countries I think can only unlock phones that are locked to a certain providers network, like Hungary T and Voda I think can only unlock T and Voda iPhones respectively, but perhaps phones bought on other networks (Ie T-mobile Germany, or Voda UK or New Zealand or whatever) some of these services maybe taking advantage of these work arounds. If this is the case, these unlocks are legal and Apple has no legal way of relocking these phones. IE in france they HAVE to unlock your phone even if it is ATT... or one would think so logically. Although this info maybe off, but it was definatley the case during iPhone 3g sales...
Are you sure that's correct? So you're saying if I go to France with my locked AT&T iPhone 4, the carriers there will have to unlock it for me if I ask? I actually just asked this question in another thread and I'm getting mixed responses: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=12393503

The ipod is dying. The touch is the only one which will survive the longest. People these days just like touch screens with features packed to the rafters and the classic, nano and shuffle are falling by the wayside.

Does it have a self-assigned IP when it drops out?
If so, try renaming your wireless network. This has fixed this issue a number of times for me recently.

So am I wrong in thinking that resolution independence basically enables me to run the Finder at 1440x900 or whatever it is...Photoshop at 1680x1040 or whatever...and Safari at 1024x768?
I was all excited to create photoshop docs in huge resolution and look at pron the way I used to...where the picture took up the whole screen and wasn't high res. ;)
Am I wrong here? I assume Apple would put the options in terms people can understand, like "this app is this resolution and this app is run at a different resolution"

I would have been 18 then. Was sleeping when it happened. I was called out of bed, and the TV was full blast. I think I started watching after the second plane hit. I was scheduled to work from 1:00 that day at my retail job (big-box office supply), but wasn't sure if I was even supposed to go in that day. I called in, was told that it was still on, so I headed to work. I remember walking to work and just looking up at the sky, expecting to see something as I lived by a busy international airport. Not a thing was in the sky.
When I got to work, you could just see the tension on everyone's faces. No need to ask if they had heard "the news". Our boss let us keep the TV on in the computer department that was normally used to repeat a video about a printer/scanner/fax machine.
We had almost no customers that day, and the ones that came in... it was hard to describe. It was almost like people knew that we were all together at a time like this - there was this unspoken bond between us all. I don't think we had a single rude customer that day. It was really just solemn.
I don't think I'll ever see a day quite like that ever again.

Temp is quite normal (it's about 60 C). Card is dying slowly IMHO. At the end it will just stop giving video. I've replaced few 6600s with similar symptoms.
New thermal paste won't hurt ofc, but I doubt it will solve the problem.

That was easy! Thanks! I looked at some Belkin's, but not those models. Thanks again.
Don't forget to enter in "12345" as the code on the Belkin page in order to get those switches half off!

Flickr already stores location information for photos - not GPS-based, but you can browse maps and assign pictures to a specific location where you took them, and then search/browse all users shared photos by location. I could see iPhoto doing something similar, with the add-in of recognizing GPS data.

I have had a search but cannot find anything on this topic so here it goes;
I have a nice piece of 1gb RAM for my Mini problem is that it has a heatsink on it, I can't see anyway to remove the heatsink without damaging the Mini, so I was wondering if the Mini will be able to fit RAM with a heatsink on?? So if anyone has done this or tried I would be grateful to hear from you,
Thanks in advance,
ShadOW

I was alone at work so I wasn't aware that anything had happened to begin with. I only found out about it when my boss came back from a meeting and told me what she'd heard on her car radio. This was just before the first tower came down which, if memory serves, was about an hour-or-so after the initial strike.

I'm so happy I sold my copy of VPC on eBay a couple weeks ago :D
I've been using Parallels with Win XP for a brief time, but it already appears to be far more stable and responsive than VPC ever was, even under Classic (it really had problems moving to OS X). I really don't blame Microsoft though for killing it, the product was inherently inferior to the latest offerings on the market, with little to no chance of ever catching up.
