I like the design of these better than the G5, and I don't want to spend several hundred dollars more on something that I don't like as well. I want to get the absolute fastest one they made. Would that be a 20" 1Ghz model? Any known issues on these machines? I will be using it for freelance graphic design work. For the last year and a half, I have used my 12" 800mHz G4 ibook (640mb ram), so I know performance will not be an issue. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I believe the fastest iMac G4 (http://www.apple-history.com/?page=gallery&model=imac_usb_2&performa=off&sort=date&order=ASC) was 20" 1.25GHz.

I know. It's insane... Hopefully with iOS 5 we will get some sort of patch system, like on OS X. Makes sense, really.
Yeah exactly.

I love Infinifolders, have it on all my devices. I have held off on Infinidock because I thought it did not really add more icons to the main dock view, just allowed you to scroll the 6 that were there over so you can have as many as you want, right. Similar to what happens when you double click the home button for fast app switching. I might still go that route, I was just hoping for something that would allow more right on each page.

Hi, Im going to get a second internal HDD to use as a time machine backup but wasnt sure which HDD would be best to get? Would one of the WD Caviar Green drives do a good, reliable job?

That's because touchscreen interfaces are still a new thing and it's going to take time and trial-and-error to figure out how to best use it for gaming. We're already seeing little moments of brilliance here and there. Have you tried Super MonkeyBall or Myst on iPad? They're right at home--better than in their original platforms.
But most game companies aren't looking at that yet. Right now, we're dealing with a lot of game companies wanting to impose virtual buttons or joysticks on the screen, which IMO, is a kludge. But then a game like Angry Birds comes along and it's a huge hit because they work with the hardware instead of trying to tie it down to the old way of doing things. Imagine playing Angry Birds on a console. What a painful experience that would be. And yet on a touchscreen, it's a pure joy.
Give it time. This touchscreen gaming thing has just started, and it will continue getting better as game companies figure out how to work with the hardware instead of fighting it.
Touchscreen has just started but it ultimately is flawed.
Tactile feedback is very important in real gaming*. There are options out there for tactile touchscreens but Apple appear to not want to implement them. As I said before too your fingers cover up the gameplay. The DS circumvents this by having replacement buttons and precision touchscreen control on the lower screen and the action remains on the top screen.
*And yes I do agree - something like Angry Birds does not work well on consoles. However Metal Gear Solid 4, Fallout 3, Team Fortress 2 etc... they also don't work on touchscreens. And if we had to pick one or the other - I'd have to side with those more full, complex games.
It's not as if every game and genre can be translated to touchscreens, and I imagine there are many more genres more suitable to physical controls than there are genres suitable to touch controls.
That's all really. iOS gaming is fun for queues and on the bus, but when it comes to sitting down at night with a good handheld game... out comes the PSP or DS (or GBA).

I actually only have a 1TB primary drive and I'm not even using half of it, so i was thinking of just getting a 1TB HDD.
The Samsung F4s seem to only come in 2TB? If so ill just go for WD, thanks guys

Hi! I bought a g3 ibook,800mhz,640mb,80gb and this unit worked great for a couple months. Out of nowhere I got kennel panic. I got unit to flash blinking folder icon, I have tried to do new install of os, gets thru one disk if lucky,then poof! Any help would be greatly taken. Any offers to buy or fix would be nice as well! Thank You Community!!! had the screen do that funky line thing a couple times as well

I am shocked to see how popular these are becoming. Personally if I got one it would only be an addition to my computers not a replacement for my MBP. Like having the optical drive at my leisure and the better computing power. But then again I do working the IT field. I could easily see how they meet the average consumers needs. None the less I want one.

G'day Guys,
I have been having a look around for a solution to my slow network problem, with no luck. Hopefully somebody here can help me.
I have 2 mac pro systems I use for audio and video work. They are on the company network which seems to be 10/100 and a little slow. When I am transferring large files between the two machines (which are on opposite sides of the room) it takes forever because the speed is limited to 100Base-T and not 1000 that the computers can work at. This is no good. I need speed. Can I run a private network on the Ethernet 2 sockets for transferring data between the 2 computers? How can I set it up so that these computers will always choose this private network for transferring data? Will this work when transferring data for Qmaster jobs?
As no other computers will need to be on the network, I assume it is as simple as plugging the two computers together with an Ethernet cable and making sure they can see each other. The hard part is making sure they always use this network and not the company network.
Ideas anyone?
Cheers,
Chris

Personally, I use T-mobile now and get a few more dropped calls than if I were using Verizon but they are also cheaper and have much nicer phones because they support GSM.
Similar for me... I spent about four years with Sprint and now about three with T-Mo. I've been happier with the latter, although I was close to switching to Verizon or Cingular. And we've done that thread a thousand times...
But, so this business of using a new frequency is interesting. It seems quite a gamble, especially since it's just T-Mobile and apparently even just T-Mo North America. One replier above stated that these new phones will be based on WiMax. This seems suspect, because WiMax, as far as I know, only goes down to 2 GHz, and one of the frequencies T-Mo is spending so much money on is 1.7.... I wonder what the deep meaning of leaving the GSM frequency is going to be.....

I didn't realise that you could make nice looking sites with iWeb. Especially as your first site - its awesome.
Based on me not understanding a word. Advice would be, maybe make it a bit clearer that you have to click the image to access the site, try and loose the Apple logo at the bottom - I think it looks at bit unprofessional. But apart from that its pretty good.

On the topic of photo storage and editing, I ran across this blog post in an app on my iPad called Photoverse. It details how to use star ratings to thin out a shoot without dumping any photos.

Thanks for sharing this app Dale! I have a lot of research to do! :)
ok 100Teraflops I use a Mac Pro daily for Music and Photography, The Mac Pro is a good beastie but alone it cant do the job, it must be paired up to a good Monitor, IPS panel if possible, I did use apple's but found the Dell's re-produced colour better. When you purchase your DSLR will you shoot RAW or Jpeg, think about it, RAW may be bigger files, but you can keep producing a good quality image from just 1 RAW file, On the subject of a scratch disk try and dedicate a complete disk as scratch.
my MP is set up as follows,
bay 1 :500gb for OS & apps
bay 2 :320gb as Scratch Disk
bays 3 & 4 : both have 1tb hdd's in a raid 1 configuration for music and stuff
All my RAW files & Aperture library are on a WD my book studio 4TB edition in a raid 1 via fw800 giving me 2TB to use, The system is simple and it works well. the big hdd's are all green WD drives. Hdd's are cheap now, but get the biggest you can afford (don't buy at the apple store), I find using Raid 1 I spend less time now backing up. The hardest part of photography is deleting images, you may take 100 shots and find only 2 of them are keepers, but getting rid of blurry, out of focus files will free up a lot of space,
you have had some excellent advice on here so far, and it will be nice to hear how you finally set up your workflow, keep us posted :)
Thanks for recommending the specs of a quality monitor. Your Mac Pro HDD configuration is simple and easy to understand. Are you using striping from OS X or did you set you RAID 1 with only two drives? I agree that it is very hard deleting photos, as I do not delete photos after I take them. I wait a few days or longer, and then decide if they are keepers. However, I take photos of my family etc and occasionally automobiles and landscape. Also, you are right that I have received excellent advice from the forum members. You folks rule! :)
I will keep you all posted. I am thinking that I should buy a Mac Pro soon! From what I have read on this forum, a new Mac Pro is not expected until 4Q 2011 or 2012. :eek: I do not want to wait that long for a stupid processor chipset. :D A few months is optimal, but 6-8 is not feasible. Thanks again for sharing knowledge and swapping ideas!

I'm on the West Coast, and at the time, worked a swing shift, so I was soundly asleep at the time. Until...
A friend (who is/was an unemployed night-owl-to-the-extreme,) called me and said simply "Turn on CNN!" Being unhappily awakened at 7:00 AM, I groggily, went "I don't have cable." and almost hung up. He then (understandably) annoyedly replied with "I don't care, turn on.. Anything. The Pentagon has been attacked." (I imagine he had just turned it on, and they were covering the Pentagon at that moment.) So I went out to the living room and quietly turned on the TV. (I had a friend fresh from college living on my couch while he searched for his own place; he also had a swing shift job.) Obviously, I was stunned. It was NBC, and they were showing the smoking ruin where the first tower was in the process of collapsing. My friend/temporary roommate was just waking up, and looked in stunned silence. (I was also too stunned to say anything.)

ShareTool by yazsoft will allow all your bonjour services to work through your VPN just as they do locally. This is the solution I use, and it works perfectly, even itunes home sharing works. This is the only solution I could find as from what I can tell Apple has designed bonjour to not work over VPN.

everyone is comparing their visions with apple these days... it makes them look cool.
Exactly. Apple is the cool kid on the streets now.
Awesome. This seems to make sense. Apple should be with T-mobile, that is where their target is. I am on sprint but I think the primary users of this phone will be on t-mobile. Cingular is to low end and verizon is off in their own world. I don't mean to offend anyone but I think most would agree that t-mobile already has the best entertainment/computer like phones (ie - sidekick).
Well, the Sidekick is a truly ****** phone, but would T-Mobile want a phone that could compete with that? No. So it won't happen.

I wonder how these companies got access to Apple's database. Why doesn't Apple keep better watch on it? And couldn't Apple just find out who's been accessing the database, and not allow connections from that source anymore? This all seems shady to me.
I imagine the process goes through a carrier outside of the US because many countries and carriers offer unlocks for their iPhone customers.

In the UK we just pay whatever phone network your on �10 (~$16 USD) and they get Apple to activate/unlock it ;)

It is impossible. You need to run Windows on the Mac to install them.
Thanks but how do i do that without loosing that wonderful UI of mac? Even more so without inviting viruses, Trojans and the like.
