Sorry - slow reply. If it's an upgrade thing, well, than that's fine! As long as the people who are up to date can see it that's ok. I need to find an up to date tester now!

i'm in search of three ipod shuffles and i need them as cheap as possible. iirc, the apple store for education is selling refurbs (which are okay, as long as they're apple recertifieds) for 79 each. if anyone can find something for 69 (or less!) please let me know. i need them as giveaways for a program at my school.
thanks...i appreciate it.
Check E-bay, and be sure to sort "Buy it Now" by price..be careful of egregious shipping charges, though/

That's an interesting and possibly controversial statement.
Putting Macromedia to one side... what beef do you have with Adobe?
Any apps in particular? And where does the past come into it?
Only curious 'cos Adobe are the people I rely on to get work done...
The frameworks that Adobe use for their applications are far older than those that Macromedia use but both are rooted in the 1980s and are a significant CPU drain compared to techniques for modern Mac OS X software. Apple was unwise to allow the same core of an application to run on Mac OS 8.x, 9.x and X. Even AppleWorks has two separate applications which call various Carbon modules. What works well on one operating system is counterproductive on the other.
Considering that Adobe converted their software to run on Mac OS X, they should have used Carbon Events to allow Mac OS X to use the idle time for other processes rather than using the old event loop. It is apparent from the way their applications use CPU while idle that they have not chosen the more efficient path but only the more expedient one.
Part of the problem with converted applications is MetroWerks' PowerPlant framework, which Macromedia and many, many others use. It has used the old event loop too. However, they redeemed themselves by creating PowerPlant X, which uses Carbon Events. I believe that the patched versions of Macromedia's applications are using PowerPlant X but are simply inefficiently coded.
Sorry to those who have been reading this for the past two years. It's an old, sad story that should have changed by now. I want to say something nice instead.
Here's to Brad and Ryan! :) They're the good guys.

Since the 11" and 13" are almost identical, I suppose that the technician guide mentioned here applies to both.
There is a specific service manual for each Mac, including the 11-inch Air.
I've uploaded it to Mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?745cwqotg5zjiq5 (mba_11_late2010.pdf)
Hopefully this helps someone.
Cheers

Why don't one of you overachievers figure out how to use a BB's tethering for use with an Ipad2 wifi only. Is there already a way to connect usb to ipad via some type of converter etc?

Well, I wouldn't say it is brutal to the point of being unplayable. The point of the game is to collect these things called "Spectra" in each level. You do this by getting your character to climb higher and explore more of the levels. But you have a limited time to do this. That is where the difficulty comes in. The mechanic of the game is very easy to grasp and pretty easy to master. It is the time limit that gives me the most problems.
It is a very fun game though. I didn't mean to give the wrong impression. The game, as with all of the PixelJunk games, is very fun and has a very unique graphical look and great soundtrack. Easily worth a purchase from the PSN.
Just played around with the demo. It seems fun, I might actually get it. I'm going to sleep on it first though. I tend to make decisions I regret when it's late at night. :p

I have to say that normally I don't use beta versions as my main OS, but after a week of testing the OS on a spare disk, I was so impressed and decided to take the plunge and upgraded my main installation.
The upgrade took 5 minutes on my SSD!!! Everything works great so far, but of course I am still testing. I have a backup of my system before the update, just in case :)

I don't listen to NPR, but a simple Google search gave me this:
From MacNN (http://www.macnn.com/news/19215)
A MacNN reader forwarded a note from NPR about its decision to drop QuickTime streaming from its Internet services: "For several years, npr.org has been offering some of our audio in QuickTime, but recently the arrangement between Apple and NPR expired. During the last several months, Apple and NPR have tried to work out the terms to renew that arrangement, but were unable to come to an agreement. It doesn't reflect on Apple's technology -- business and legal issues alone have led to this outcome."
So it looks bad, but the same Google search also brought up this NPR (http://www.npr.org/quicktime/quicktime.html) site, that has a quicktime stream, but sadly its not a live stream.
Hope this helps

in order to get a new macbook i need to present a broken one to some people, ive had the black macbook for 3 years and I am tired of it overheating and burning me when browsing youtube. How could i make it appear broken without actually harming it or any data on it? i know this is a very weird question.
also can the new macbook 13" pros with the i5s handle games just as well as the previous nvidia ones? thanks

Here is a sample of what you are looking at if you get the screen replaced.iPhone Screen Repair (http://techrestore.com/xcart/product.php?productid=18174&cat=359&page=1)
Thanks, but this is my backup phone. I know I can probably replace the LCD and sell it for higher but I'd rather just sell it outright. The best offer I received is $240, will sell for $245 + shipping if anyone here is interested.

does it need a video card in it?
i would assume so, though it only needs to be a crappy video card. the problem is that the BIOS or EFI or whatever firmware is running on the motherboard would usually freak out if it couldnt find a video device. i know ive turned on many machines in my building days and usually if they dont have one of the essentials (ram, proc, an input device, a video out device) they just beep and hang.

Maybe the disk image you created is corrupt?
It could be as simple as that? There isn't anything that stands out as a concrete reason why it wouldn't work?
Should I try upgrading to leopard first and then Snow Leopard? I don't have the "upgrade disc" I have the full install one that came with my other Mac.

Anyone wanting to take up the challenge of developing a replacement for WinClone I would like to speak to them.
I am talking about a commercial (PAID) engagement to write software that I would then have IP ownership over and would sell commercially. Happy to discuss revenue share models or straight $ for doing the job.
There are some additional features over and above current WinClone I would like to discuss.
NB: I am also canvasing recruitment agencies for a contractor to do this, plan to have something in place by middle of May, so first come first served.

I bought a white iPhone 4 and have been disappointed in it's reception compared to my old black one. However call quality is great and the proximity sensor is 1000x better. I'm thinking about swapping it for another one but I'm not convinced anything is really wrong with it.

Your baseband is not an exclusive version :/ It is in the family of sad un-unlockable children. Your brothers and sisters are 02.10 and 04.10. The golden child is 01.59.
Haha sorry, it's late t__t but yeah, unless they are magically able to unlock only 03.10, I don't see retaining the bb as any real value.

this story even made it to Slashdot. that's when things really hit the fan.
check the /. article here: http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/09/13/1357202&tid=156&tid=98&tid=8
there's also lots of comments on VersionTracker and MacUpdate, in the comments section of Echelon, i think.
