I certainly want one. Waiting for the next revision. i3/i5 isomethings hopefully next time, and cheaper SSD's.

It's not greed. They make a good product that people want and are willing to pay for.

Is it greed because my client list has an addendum that is a waiting-to-be-my-client list? I'm good at what I do, people want what I do and they're willing to pay me at my current rate. ....

No kidding, that line is always so long. But, when did McDonald's stop calling them customers and start calling them clients? Smart move, either way.

i've been waiting patiently for the refresh and now i'm about to purchase my first iMac, just waiting for it to get to israel, hoping this will happen in the next few weeks.

I currently own an 18 months old macbook pro, and a very old and dying PC which the iMac will replace.
I'm a graphic designer, using adobe cs5 products such as: Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Flash, Dreamweaver and maybe some After Effects in the future. and i work a lot, day and night.

now i'm little confused about which model should i go for
at first i didn't want the 27" cause i thought it was too big, but i figure i will get use to it, plus i really need a lot of work space on screen (currently working on a 19" and hating it).

but is the base 27" model enough for me?
should i upgrade to i7 or will i5 do the work?
and what about the graphics in the base 27?

will be glad if someone helps out and answer my questions
thank you

elppa's suggestion worked a treat. thanks guys.

i was looking forward to mbp updates and cinema displays after the macbook air. why didn't steve do his "one more thing..." like he usaually does?

My first-gen :apple:TV streams Apple Lossless 24-bit 96kHz files from iTunes through the digital port to my Harmon Kardon amplifier just fine. The HK would recognize them as 96kHz too (but didn't display the number of bits it was receiving). It sounds GREAT!

i'd hope someone who is able to code to figure out to google his answer especially for something like an asp shopping cart....
:o true, sorry about the laziness. I couldn't find anything worthwile so I thought it'd be good to get some advice from the good people at MR. The problem with googling "ASP .NET shopping cart" is that the first 1000 pages or so will be about non-free stuff. Adding "open source" or "free" didn't improve the results that much either. I think I'm going to give PHP another shot since there's tons of open source stuff for it.

As of right now I don't see iWork as a strong MS Office competitor. It is more of a competitor of MS Works (For home use). As far as I have seen it Keynote is the only product in the list that can compete with MS Office (Powerpoint). I would love to see a good competitor to MS Office. But look at the other competitors out there.
Word Perfect (No Modern Mac Port, And the other OS Versions have a lot of technical problems)
Open Office (Too wrapped up in being open source and making the developers look good and less on actually making it a good product)
iWork (Best Interface for most features but lacking in "Pro" Features)
Koffice, abiword (better then MS Write but not by much)
Googles Spreadsheet and Word Processor (Way to limited)
While MS Office still has it faults unfortunately it is still the best product out there.

If you are just writing papers for schooland you want to give your documents a little more style then iWorks is great. If you need to do serious work with heavy calculations and more advanced colarabration then office is still the only bet.

All these crazy profits quarter after quarter, and they can't lower the prices...

Unreal greed.

Apple isn't a charity. They only have profits because they don't lower the prices.

i0nic said he would release a jailbreak by this coming weekend

Hey, someone from my Apple User Group is trying to sell their 1.33Ghz 17" pb. If you're interested, I'll PM them on our forum and ask what they want for it. It has 1GB RAM/Superdrive.

This is all so funny. Almost as funny as Apple's total failure in the server market. Remember? They recently cancelled the Xserve product line and they even quietly retreated from developing a standalone server version of OS X. Did you guys laugh so much about that, too?



Here's what Ballmer had to say (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aBLgYAyJLFug) at the Zune launch:

Microsoft Corp. Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer says he can break the dominance of Apple Computer Inc.'s iPod in the digital music market with the Zune player that hits stores across the U.S. today.

Please point out a statement from anyone at Apple stating they were entering the server market to compete and win with Microsoft.

i think the jefhatfield thing is a trick question. IIRC jefhatfield IS his original name, but he used a different one for a while after his posts became TOO prolific.

and the avatar, that was the sexy shiny one right? yeah that started a craze. personally i think b2tm's was the best.

i was jefhatfield, then networkman, and now i am jefhatfield again

Not meant to boast but that article is written by me, thus the referral to the MR thread :)

Have you tried testing location? Some locations are better than others for wireless. Perhaps the Mini is just in a bad location.

That's not the issue. The Mini holds its wireless connection just fine. You can see it on the networks and it can see other computers. It's not loosing its wireless connection.

But after a while, it can't access the internet. I don't think loosing the internet when it maintains its wireless connection is a location issue.

Besides, the Mini is used as a media centre so it has to be near the tv in the living room.

He was probably so excited with the iPhone that he just had to have them there. Don't look into this too much :)

Oh the carnage! :eek:

Clearly a Windows proponent. Where, as an artist, doe he get the money for such an expensive medium?

Website for that tuner/specs on it? Interested for a MCE box if you happen to sell it. ;)

(1) In regards to Excel, the program has become the industry standard kind of by default more than anything. If you look back through it's "history", Excel really hasn't changed much since the beginning. Sure, the interface is better, and the introduced more comprehensive Macros and other crap that just makes it confusing for most users, but the structure and base features are exactly the same. Frankly, the only features that are worrysome when sending Excel documents via email are the Macros, and those don't even work properly from computer to computer, let alone across different programs (ie. Excel to "Lasso"). So, long story short, I'm very excited to see what Apple comes up with and really don't think interoperability will be an issue at all.

(2) In regards to Pages, and the complaints I've seen on here about it, let's not forget that in the world of software, iWork is a BABY. MS Office has been around forever, whereas Pages is only a few years old. And frankly, it already works light years better than Word could ever dream to. If you've ever attempting to do anything in Word other than type, you know it is so chock full of bugs and quirks that by the end of your project you'd rather write it out free hand.

So bring on Lasso, and Pages '07. I can not WAIT to delete office from my Mac and be done with everything that has that dirty M-word on it forever.

That is all.

yes very much so, thanks appreciate it man

I have a 7d and I was wondering how important cf card speed is
currently i have a transcend 16gb 400x .. says the write speed is 30mbps ..
is that fast enough because I see lexar has 600x cards with 90mbps write ..
on cinema5d.com most of them use kingston 133x .. I guess that just answers my question but I wanted to get some opinions here

iFixit.com carries them and ships to the UK. It also is cheaper than eBay which is rare for proprietary Apple parts.

However, given the obscene prices of Motherboards. It would likely be cheaper to buy a working 2006 Macbook, swap out the hard drive and RAM if needed and sell your current unit as is for parts only on eBay with a good description of the problem and pictures.

Heck it would most likely be cheaper to do the above and upgrade to a Lion compatible Late 2006 Core 2 Duo Macbook. Perhaps even move up to a Santa Rosa or Penryn Macbook. You'd be shocked as to what a defective Macbook will fetch on eBay.

Why you ignore my post you wankers!!!!?:mad:

Perhaps not everyone is awake when you posted. Asking for advice then calling people names doesn't encourage people to help you.

If it is an iMac, or in fact, any G3, check to see if there is a firmware update that you need to run.

Also on G3's don't you have to install Mac OS X within the first partition (within the first 8gb)?
