It took them longer than I expected...
Dropping sales since and foreboding news back then from GameStop when they stopped selling them due to lacking demand.
The excuse they gave me was, they decided to stick with game machines and drop mp3 players...
Who knows - maybe there's going to be some manufacturer out there with mp3 players that use Windows 7 Mobile or Android to compete with the Touch - which is why MS doesn't want to make that hardware anymore...

I don't have the iPod photo but have 2 iPods, should say my wife has one I have the other. You can decided how iTunes syncs by either saying that all playlist and or library sync or that you freely add and subtract as you wish. I have ours set to sync only our purchased music playlist and another playlist that I add to she also has her own.
I also have the media card reader, works great. Once the photos are transferred you simply attach you iPod to the Mac and iPhoto, if not open, will open up and prompt you to the import option, just like a camera.
From what I have seen, the sync iPhoto pictures works the same as iTunes, you pic what you want to sync.
Hope you get it, I know that I am looking at getting the 40GB color soon.

Probably need to mention whether it has a combo drive or superdrive.
Well the 2.0 mini only comes with a super drive. Sorry, thought that was a given.
edit: ^ yes it does.haha

very interesting, now have to figure out how to create one... thanks for sharing...
Tripod is a must.
I take a photo with the desired effect like motion blur.
take a video clip. (i use a nikon d3100 with 1080p video at 24fps)
Use quicktime to select a section of the video for the motion, copy and paste to a new clip and "export as image sequence"
Now, in photoshop, resize the original image to match the size of the video frames.
overlay the individual frames, delete everything within the frames that you don't want to be moving
create individual animation frames and export as a GIF

Hi,
I just bought an iPhone 4, and was looking for a nice wallpaper. Then I saw the default surfing wallpaper, it looked nice to me and I setted it as wallpaper. I also did this for my iPad, now I want it too for my MBP 13''. So I moved the wallpaper from my iPad to my Mac, but it looks horrible as the resolution is 1024 x 704. My Mac's resolution is 1280 x 800. It just doesn't look nice. So in iPhoto I resized it to 1280 x 800 but it still doesn't look nice. I dont' have Photoshop, but I know with Photoshop you can do almost everything with a picture. So can you 'master photoshoppers' please resize the image to
1280 x 800 without pixelization, as I'm almost certain that is possible in Photoshop.
Thanks
The Wallpaper:
Dude, the only way to get it without pixelation (as far as I know) is to use Vector Graphics. Try Tineye (http://www.tineye.com).
It may help you with finding that image.

Vim.
Old school. The best editor for working close to the metal.
When I first started programming in the early 90's I was a Windows dev in a Solaris shop. The unix guys could cut code many times faster than any Windows dev. You don't need a mouse. You just need your keys. In fact I'm just getting back to programming after a 9 year absence and I'm using vi with Tcl, Java and Javascript.

If Apple wanted to make their phone available worldwide, signing with T-mobile would be the better choice. Compared to Cingular, Deutsche Telekom (the parent company to T-mobile USA) has a much larger market worldwide, covering Germany, the United States, Great Britain, Austria, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Poland, Belarus, Hungary, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovena, and Slovakia.
...Although Apple could sign a contract with just T-mobile USA; anything is possible.

Bloatware, unusable since like what, version 3? 4?
What with all the new emulators coming out (and being a fairly happy user of Parallels, although I wish they'd keep us more informed about updates, but that's another subject!) I won't miss VPC one bit.
RIP.

The additional gestures are pretty nice.
My favourites are swiping to go back in Safari and the swipe to switch Spaces. It feels iOS like in that it's really smooth. A bit buggy too, but that's to be expected at this stage.

OBLIVION= first choice. That's Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (http://www.elderscrolls.com/games/oblivion_overview.htm) to be exact. Open world RPG, the first solo RPG that was worthy of exploring just for the fun of it. See that mountain way over there? Walk to it and climb. :)

Thanks everyone but no luck!
Use OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org/), it's free and handles .ppt files great. It has its limitations but will serve your needs and you can't beat the price! :)
I tried this, and after waiting nearly an hour to download it and X11 from the apple website, i opened it and there was lot of error messages . i don't know what went wrong . i just uninstalled - even that didn't work, i had to delete the files myself which i hope worked.
but thanks for trying though!

Ok so I posted a week or so ago about a bad experience I had with a firewire 800 external drive. Anyway, Im sending it back and getting a refund but I wanted to confer with you guys about a good, but cheaper (under $100 please) firewire 800 drive thats good for recording to. This will be my recording HD. Can anyone recommend some for me? and shooting a link to a place that sells it would be appreciated! ..and the more recommendations the better

OP,
You have received quite a great amount of advice, since I posted earlier in the thread. As Firestarter, so eloquently pointed out, RAID is not Back-up per-say, rather it is a storage solution. I use various RAID configurations, because they work for me. I went with RAID 1 & RAID 1+0 (10) storage setups, because they are what works for me & my work-flow. I shoot way too much, to be using DVD's as a storage solution.
From my experience, I have yet to encounter someone, that has a had a CD/DVD last more than a Decade. IMO, that type of statement is not valid, till we've had DVD-R's for two decades or so, and can prove that they are still readable years later. Lab Testing, doesn't count for crap in real life.
I bought my Mac Pro on eBay, and have yet to encounter any issues with it. It is a 1st Gen (1,1), and has worked flawlessly. After I received it, I added 12GB of Ram, and re-configured the HDD Bays for my needs.
Bay 1: 250GB for OS, Documents, & Apps
Bay 2: 1TB 7200, for Scratch and only Scratch. I have it setup for both CS5 & Final Cut, but that's it. I do not use it for anything else.
Bay 3: 1TB 7200. OSX RAID 1
Bay 4: 1TB 7200. OSX RAID 1
Both 3 & 4, are linked together via OSX, in a RAID 1 Configuration. I use the RAID 1 primarily for active files that I am rendering/ working from (i.e. Images & Videos), however, I also make a clone of the 250GB HDD, that I regularly update, as files are created/ edited.
Though Designer Dale, pointed out that I am a Pro, I also started out learning the ropes through mostly trial & error, of what to buy & what not to buy. That is a rather expensive road however, and forums didn't exist back in the late 90's & early 00's, like they do today. Whether your a Pro, a Hobbyist, or a Beginner, it doesn't really matter when it comes to storage. Storing & backing up Images/ Videos/ Files, is just part of the modern digital age. When I am asked about cameras' to buy, I suggest to anyone, that is looking to invest into the newer DSLR's/ HDSLR's, to also invest in large HDD's to back up the rather large images, that are captured by the newer bodies.
Snberk103, has hit the nail on the head, regarding his most recent post. Mac Pro's are typically a longer term investment. Though I bought a 1st Gen, it is quite sufficient for running CS5 in 64 Bit, and Rendering video in Final Cut.
Here is an example of daily usage on my MP: I typically have 6-10 Apps running at any given time, and though I have PS CS5 maxed out, Ram allotment wise (80% of total Ram), I never max out all 12 gigs. Highest I have ever hit, with both CS5 & FC running @ 100% + FireFox & PhotoMechanic is 9 of 12GB. If I leave FF running for days on end, then it will consume 1-1.5GB of Ram on its own, and I will start getting paging issues on certain sites. Even though the MP is a 1,1, it is expandable to 32GB of Ram. :D
I also have a Spring 2008 24" iMac (2.4 C2D, 4GB Ram, 250GB HDD), and it does well running CS3, FF, & PhotoMechanic. But the iMac is nearly maxed out Ram wise, and doesn't offer the expandability of the Mac Pro. However, since I bought the Mac Pro, the iMac is resigned to light duty, as it just doesn't stack up to the Mac Pro, though the iMac is several years newer.
The suggestion for an LCD to compliment your Mac Pro investment, is quite an important area to look into. I currently use the last generation of the 23" ACD. Color Accuracy is dead on, however, when I start looking for a replacement, I will be looking towards both the NEC PA Series Line-up (http://necdisplay.com/category/desktop-monitors) & also the Dell UltraSharp line-up (http://www.dell.com/content/topics/topic.aspx/global/products/landing/en/ultrasharpmonitor?c=us&l=en&cs=04).

I've used AnyBiz's software for PDF to Word and PDF to Power Point. Both programs have worked well and you can download them for free. I use the free versions which have some setting omitted like batch conversion but for what I need, it's no problem. Since you have a larger file, you may want to pay for the software. Either way, it's free to try. They have a PDF editor and PDF to iPad. Try it out. Lemme know if it works.

And? They are still losing marketshare. Apple is growing much slower than the market. And yes Android ships more *phones* than Apple ships *total* iOS *devices* (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad) per quarter (40 million Android smartphones compared to 33 million iOS devices).
Again google ships nothing at all. Show me data indicating a single quarter where a major version of Android was shipped on 40 million compatible units and then you can start making iOS comparisons.
THis whole concept of iOS and Android being the same kind of thing or worse iPhone and Android being the same sort of thing is beyond absurd. There is no way a reasonably informed person buys into it.
Billions of dollars in App sales versus millions of dollars in app sales is all you really need to care about when we discuss platforms..

Well you wont be able to put it on the original DVD... but if you have a SuperDrive, you can burn a new one.
I recomend DVDxDV. www.dvdxdv.com. You can extract the files from the DVD to your HD. Then you can import the files into iMovie and edit them... do w/e you want with them. Then iMovie sends it over to iDVD and you reburn the movie.
Understand???
I know I can't put it back on the original dvd. And if this program works like you say, It'll be perfect
