I remember when I played with the last gen MBA in the Apple Store; my thought was that this thing was TOO light. I just couldn�t get into it. Then there was also the price. Yikes. Then I played with the new gen 11� recently, and I was all like ooooooooo. Still an 11� display is too small for my needs, so if I really feel the need for ultra portable second machine, I think an iPad will do. As far as the horsepower ting goes, I have no idea if I�m a power user or not. I know I�m definitely not a light user. I have a habit of having a dozen applications each with multiple windows/tabs open including the life sucking Safari as well as Photoshop, huge amounts of photos open at once, and editing video.
I've never understood the argument against the Air because of it's lack of DVD drive. I have no idea when the last time was I used mine, and it takes up a massive amount of space and weight on my MacBook.
I use the OD on my MBP often as I author a lot of disks, but when Apple inevitably drops the OD, I really don�t plan on coming unglued. I can always get an external OD, and since I do the burning at home, it�s not like I�ll have to lug it around.

The best piano is Synthogy's Ivory, Not only does it play beautifully, and sound great but has some great less "real" patches too and lovely sounding reverbs.
I'd say with your budget get Komplete 7, and then add on extra libraries as you see fit, LASS, east west or VSL for instance.
Other really useful software is spectrasonics, RMX, Trillian and omnisphere as with these you'll have your, loops/beats, bass, synths and pads/textures pretty much covered. for great real sounding drums, addictive drums are great sounding and MUCH lighter on rescources than DFH etc.

Why wanna wait for a 300$ iTV half a year when you can have a 24" iMac now?!?!?!?!? And I'm laughing: WIRELESS... but Ethernet Port etc. p.p.... very helpful! No thanks guys, I'm gonna buy the Cinema-iMac!!!
:cool:
The iTV will be a tenth of the price of an iMac 24" (in the UK at least), so if you've already got a Mac that you're happy with why throw out the baby with the bathwater. Besides the iMac is an expensive TV if it is going to sit in your living room. :cool:

Steve said in the CNBC interview post-keynote:
(loosely quoted) "I serve at the pleasure of the board of directors and the stockholders, and as long as they are happy with the job I'm doing, I'd love to keep doing this job."
To me, that doesn't sound like he's going anywhere anytime soon.

Yea, I suspect the power supply also. It disappears when I unplug it totally (no Gremlins ;-)). It strangely also disappears when I turn it on. I was just wondering if anyone else had this noise? If I am the only one, then I will call Apple abut it.

Thank you guys, I'm running to best buy on lunch and grabbing one. I have another question, I have my airport extreme set to only allow the specific MAC addresses of the devices I'm using. Would I be able to continue to use this feature with a switch?
If you can wait a few days to receive it, I'd order from Amazon. Just did a quick look at Best Buy and the ones that they have in stores are overpriced for what you get. $70 for the cheapest non-outlet item. I bought THIS (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QUA6R0) switch from Amazon and it's been wonderful. I used it to be able to plug in my Tivo, Apple TV 2, Playstation 3, and Slingbox with only one Ethernet cord running from my office where the router is. That switch is only $25 and free shipping. No tax too depending on where you live.

I won't offer any advice on size since that's a bit subjective but I will offer some advice on backup. When deciding what size and how many drives to buy spend most of your time thinking about your backup plan. Once you've settled on that then go get the drives.
I recently lost the 500gb drive in my 07 iMac. That's where my Aperture library was. My advice on backup is to keep it simple and redundant. I don't archive SD cards nor save non-keepers. What I did though was let Time Machine backup my Aperture Library (I manage all photos in Aperture) and I kept Aperture vaults on two seperate external hardrives. (So there are 4 drives involved already...5 if you count the one I left at my parents over Christmas as an offsite). Moral of the story. I put a new HD in the iMac (1TB WD Cavier Green) and got back every single bit of data and every photo with no issues. Luckily I had updated the vaults and had not taken any new photos before the HD crash.
BTW, I do the same for family home movies. They are all digital and the thought of loosing them is unfathomable.
Personally I believe a backup strategy is priority one no matter if you are noob or a seasoned pro. Those shots mean something to you and if you loose them they are gone forever.
Right now, I have copied all of my photos and videos to cds and dvds, so I here ya that protecting one's 'family memories' are priority. However, with a vast collection, do photographers burn photos and videos to discs? I think a Blu-Ray player would help since they hold up to 25 GB and 48 GB or so respectfully. Can an individual burn non-HD content to Blu-Ray discs? I should research before I assume!
Also, as of now, I save non-keepers, but I do not have a lot of photos. At least not yet. :D Although, I have deleted photos, but I still have some blurry photos and crappy videos.
Thanks for reiterating the importance of a backup plan!

Who was asking why MS has to lockdown Windows with an absurd level of protection via WGA? Here is your answer.
If they only spent as much energy locking their browser security down as they did with WGA, there wouldn't be any spyware.

Haha, yeah it could! I'm running my girlfriend's Dual 2.0GHz G5 on it right now. I'd use my PowerBook but it's only hooked up online every once in a while.
You don't need to be online to Fold. The only time you need to go online is to dl/ul work units. My PB 1.33 runs 24/7 Folding.

The main reason I hate this idea is, I have a 3G iPod, which is easily apple's most poorly designed ipod.
You can FEEL for the buttons to skip or pause or whatever. Once you touch, you've already skipped to the next song. Having to contantly put on the lock button is very annoying.
To imagine just holding this and accidently activating a million options...
I can hope this is either a decoy, or that somehow apple has figured out something we arent seeing from the diagrams.
If it's anything like the 3G model.. NO! NO! NO!!! Bad Apple!
BTW What happened to the super hip anime style "none-touch" ipod?

Why doesn't the government just take it right off of the top? For every dollar you earn the government gets a percentage and you keep the rest. Do that for everyone and we would not need to file income taxes. The government would always know how much you earn on a constant basis.

Completing my Final Cut project tonight. I have been down the last few days because for some reason F@H will suck away power from FCP, even tho it is not supposed to (same with F@H and Pro Tools).:confused:
Anyway, hopefully I will be back up tomorrow and booted in Windows with bigadv and GPU to make up some lost time.;)

Using GSP and Iphoto only makes sense if the photo's have the GSP location information as part of the photo. So that mean that the Camera taking the picture has a GSP reciever in it, which is great outside, but GPS does not work indoors
1. The GPS receiver could cache the last known (outdoor) position and use that in the meta tags for the photo.
2. Folks are working on getting GPS to work indoors on a small chip: see <http://www.gpsworld.com/gpsworld/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=3053> especially this paragraph:
In the Taylor system, the GPS receiver is relieved of the burden of searching out the satellite frequencies, demodulating satellite navigation data, and computing satellite coordinates, because this information is provided over a separate wireless link. Of course, in the cell phone environment, a separate wireless link is readily available. Over the last few years, cellular handset makers such as Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, and Qualcomm cooperated in the adoption of standard formats for A-GPS information interchange. We now have A-GPS standards for GSM, CDMA, and US-TDMA wireless technologies.

If it's a copy protected dvd you can use MacTheRipper to get the disc on your HD, it's free but you'll have to google it and hunt down a site as it's being "banned" and shifting all over, or PM me and I'll send you the dmg
