Now that brings back some nice memories ... Walkman, Discman, ... and Sony can make at times really nice designs.
What are you talking about.. Sony still made Walkman and
Discman http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=10151&langId=-1&catalogId=10551&categoryId=8198552921644761499&N=4294950923&Name=Walkman%20MP3%20&%20Audio%20Players
Yeah. But they could make a higher end Walkman mp3 player to compete against the iPod. They already have name recognition.
...if the did that they should discontinue the lower end models to avoid confusion and adding a quality or "coolness" to the name Walkman.

That's a pretty slow HDD to begin with, maybe not 20MB/s slow, but my 7200 RPM 320GB drive gets around 70-75MB/s, which should be considerably faster than a 160GB 5400, due to both rotational speed and data density. You may just have a slowly dying HDD, so it may be a good time to upgrade it.

I was thinking about this the other day- scanning work documents to archive on my computer. Plain text can be scanned in B&W, such that PDF's of your documents are very manageable in size- under 100 kb. For most business documents, I think this would be fine (or maybe 4-bit grayscale.)
It would be great if you had an OCR that automatically generated a PDF file with both the original scanned 'image', and the OCR results. This way you'd have both in a single file, and could toss the original knowing you could correct for OCR mistakes later. Of course, these documents would also be Spotlightable.
Xerox has a scanner which seems to be more focused on text documents rather than images. It has a document feeder, seems fast, and I think it's within your budget (I'm an ignorant American so I'm no sure ;))

i did try setting compatibility mode in windows xp, it runs but its sort of buggy and crashes often, i would imagine it would be buggy under windows 7 too.
Parallels and vmware are too expensive for me, virtualbox is free but win98 runs very slowly and doesnt support guest additions, not to mention it crashes whenever vt-x is enabled
any other ideas? :)
Only thing would be to try it under 7, quite a time period between XP and 7 so the compatibility mode is probably a lot more stable.

wow, that explains your attitude then. Apple has never been interested in catering to technology fetishists like you, and never will be. why don't you go post constructive comments on Android forums instead of negative ones on Apple forums?
I'm fairly confident that anyone who owns an Apple product would disagree with you. Most would say they WANT the latest and greatest technology, but Apple doesn't make it available.
Don't be bitter.

Hi guys,
I'm working on a project in Corona SDK (omg if you never used it its amazing! I can't tell you how much faster my projects been going since I switched from hand coding everything to using Corona.)
Anyway I want to make my app universal but I can't seem to find way to load images specific to the iPad without having to scale them.
For the iPhone 3Gs and the iPhone 4G Corona uses Apples model of @2x to load different resolution images, but is there a way to also do this for iPad?
I know its a super long shot and this isn't the best forum to ask in but since I didn't buy Corona yet I don't have access to their forums.

I'd just arrived at work on the 14th floor of the old New York Telephone building across the street from the North tower of the WTC. Heard engine sounds and a bang. My colleague turned to me and asked "what the hell was that?" to which I responded, quite accurately by my standards, "well, it sounded as if a plane hit a building".
We were then instructed to get out of the building, going down the stairs rather than taking the elevator, and stood out on West Street to see the building ablaze. The buzz on the street was that there was a bomb. A few minutes later we were told to go back inside. We just about managed to return to our office and hook up the TV in our conference room in time to see the second plane hit, with a simultaneous shudder going through our own building.
"That tower's leaning!" exclaimed a co-worker, and that was it... even though the boss wasn't in yet, we all decided we were getting out of there ASAP... well, apart from one colleague who we had to practically drag out as he had a report due that day.
So we got onto one of the last uptown subway trains after the planes hit and were well clear before the towers fell. The rest of my morning was spent walking around midtown Manhattan hearing second-hand tales of the day's further attacks (Pentagon, Pennsylvania, etc), and worrying about what my family (in England) must be thinking, given that they knew I worked right by the WTC.
I remember spending that night on the couch at my sister-in-law's place in Brooklyn (as I couldn't figure out how to get back to Staten Island once I was in midtown) and the news reports were just numbing - at one point they were saying there could've been tens of thousands killed. For a while, it seemed life would just never return to normal. I've never been more happy and relieved to see my wife as I was the next day when she picked me up.
Four years later, we're still exiled from our old building (which I believe was the closest building to Ground Zero that didn't collapse), working from Brooklyn instead, but my company survived and so did everyone I know, so I have to be thankful for that...

I did some more research on this and it appears that we will have to wait probably for the Linux programmers to port Foomatic to OSX. That is if Epson does not release a driver eventually.
I tried to follow the directions on this site, but this assumes that you are running Linux and that Foomatic is already installed, along with Ghostscript and CUPS. I was able to apply the PPD file for the EPL-5700 to my printer and see it in Print Center but the in between framework is missing: the cupsomatic script and Foomatic system. I can print but the printer does not respond, so CUPS is not sending the data to the printer.
I couldn't figure out where to put the cupsomatic script since OSX does not have the directory substructure of redhat.

It will be this year. Most likely WWDC, along with a new refreshed, redesigned Nehalem Mac Pro (no kidding, another one will be out then). Don't listen to the others. I think Apple is holding off till this date.
Well, if they don't release in January then I hope you are right. There is nothing worse than buying something and 1 month later Apple updates it. If ACD gets update at the end of the year with Nehalem (don't expect Nehalem sooner) then I will be more than happy with my february purchase. :)

I had a similar problem, run through the steps.
If you are running 4.2.1 stop reading, they will say it's "jailbroken", but it is really not.
1. I used Limera1n and did not receive an icon either. I had to use Greenpois0n.
2. When you used GreenPois0n, did you see command-line run on your touch? If not, it's not jailbroken.
3. Try redsn0w, it's not as simple, but it is way more effective.
4. If you... Wait... I thought it was impossible to jailbreak a iPT 4G right now!:eek:

I am speaking specifically about TRON Legacy here, although I suppose this question would also apply to other movies that share a similar situation.
Here's what I did: I used MakeMKV to rip my Blu-ray of TRON Legacy to an MKV file, and then I used Handbrake to convert that MKV file into an M4V file formatted specifically for use on my iPad (1024 x whatever, etc.).
Here's the problem: TRON Legacy STARTS out as a 2.35:1 widescreen movie, but during various scenes in the movie, it SWITCHES to a 1.78:1 (16:9) widescreen format which is what was used in IMAX presentations. It switches back and forth between these two formats. But because the movie STARTS in 2.35:1, Handbrake wants to rip the entire movie in that format and so it's 2.35:1 all the way through -- the 1.78:1 scenes are being truncated at the top and bottom to fit that format. What I want to know is whether there are settings in Handbrake that will let me tell it, "Rip the movie so that it's 1024 pixels wide at all times, but vary the height as required by each particular scene."
Thanks for any help!

Hey guys,
I need alot of help. I convinced my sister to get an iBook a few months ago. I told her that mac is way easier than PC. Now it appears that her computer is freaking out. She is calling me for tech support and I don't know how to help her. She is having very strange problems. So I will have a series of threads to help me with these problems, I would greatly appreciate any input.
First problem: She was having trouble with video (I will get into this later) and I told her to repair permissions, prebind, etc. To do this I had her get Cocktail, I figured it would be the easiest way.
Now, after she ran it, she cannot open Microsoft Office or iPhoto. Office is the most pressing problem because she is a student. When she opens it she gets an error message telling her she has corrupt fonts (see attached pic). She then has to force quit, nothing will work. I would suggest a reinstall but she left the CD at home (the parents are mailing it up, so this will be an option later). I have ran out of ideas, but hate to leave my sister stranded! ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO FIX THIS?? Thank you all so much.

I have a PB Ti G4 (Model: M8592LL/A) with the original Airport card. I cant get this to connect to WPA networks. WEP wireless works fine.
When I have a network set as WPA the PowerBook sees the network and when I attempt to join it recognizes it as a "WPA Personal" network, however I cannot join the network at all.
Is there anything I can do for this? Do I have to buy an Airport Extreme card??
