They had all wifi blacks, and all but the 16 wifi whites. They had enough for all tickets given out, but that may be about it.
Ended up getting a 64gb White. Had a great time :)
So no 3G?

Hence my giving him/her other options, like Visual Hub, Handbrake and Toast...
I have Toast Titanium 11, and while it DOES get the job done, it makes the video look pretty muddy and in general terrible.

We are quibbling details here.... but here are my thoughts about the HDD plan above.
Put the scratch disk on a 7200rpm drive, if you getting one. Make sure it's the first partition (this puts it, according to the research I did, on the outside of the platter. Seek times are faster here.)
You don't need to back up the scratch disk. It is populated when PS opens and you open files, then the contents are deleted when PS closes.
Make sure you have off-site backups. Since you are not a professional, you can probably get away with swapping the off-site back up weekly or even monthly. However, also have on-site back-ups. They do two different things.
The on-site back up should be updated at least daily. Get Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! (or similar) and let it run nightly. This creates a bootable backup. Plus, it's just automatic. You don't need to do anything once it's set up. Time machine also works well.
What SD! and CCC do is create a clone of your HDDs. If a drive fails, you buy a new drive and do a "restore". If the computer fails, CCC and SD! can actually be used to "boot" a loaner computer.
Time Machine is useful in that it keeps things up to date in 10 minute chunks (iirc) plus keeps versions of things so you can "undelete" files later on. I don't use TM myself.
You are most likely to need to go back to an on-site daily backup. HDDs fail. Computers break. All the time. Daily backups should be painless and automatic. Also, daily backups are probably only needed to replace the contents of a single HDD that crashed.
But.... occasionally there is the risk of a total system failure. Glass of water into system. Burst pipe in the room above you. (Water can 'run' really far... so the burst pipe can be in the bathroom above and over 3 rooms). Fire. Theft. Earthquake. Tree falling in a storm. This is when you want the offsite backup. You may lose everything you did since the last swap, but you haven't lost everything. I put mine in a safety deposit box. I've read about pro photographers who ship a HDD to friends off-continent.
Last thought. No one here has the foggiest idea when Apple is going to release the next Mac Pro. Or even if there is going to be a next version. Remember that this is a "Rumours" site, not a "News" site. So read up on the buyer's guide. Read some threads about when the next Mac Pro will be released. Some of us have an educated guess - but it's just that - a guess. And the "educated" I just add to make myself feel better. :)
Thank you for clarifying the scratch disc scenario, as I was in the dark. I will buy 7200 rpm drives at first. If I store photos etc, then I will consider 5400 rpm drives, as they are cheaper than 7200 rpm drives.
I will research the off-site and on-site backup plans, as this is a good strategy, especially when my collection increases two fold etc..
I plan to use Time Machine, Super Duper, or CCC. I spent a few miuntes researching CCC, but I have not researched Super Duper. I have read several threads regarding TM, which the information flows like wine in this forum! I like to have options and the off-site and on-site backup plans are worthy options to consider. Thanks again Sir!
Also, I have decided to wait for the Mac Pro refresh. I hope "rumors" are circulated soon speculating when the new Mac Pros will arrive on scene. Furthermore, I need time to research aspects of my backup plan, decide which software to buy, and lastly decide which machine is right for me, not in this particular order. Ultimately, I have to decide whether I want an 8 core or a 6 core. Thunderbolt is a game changer, hence I had better wait. The downside is: I still require a new computer. I am looking to buy either the 2010 or the 2011 MacBook Pro to replace my current laptop 'beater.' The beater has served me well, even though it is a "window" of the evil empire. :)
Again, I want to thank all of the 'Pro Photographers' on this forum who shared knowledge, backup plans, and general computer tid bits. You folks are first class! Your kind words, logical explanations are very helpful and are greatly appreciated, as I will use this thread as a future reference! :cool:

At the very least, resolution independence is no worse than changing the display resolution. If you change the display resolution, the monitor is simply doing scaling automatically to match it to the native resolution. However, it's scaling the entire screen as a single bitmap. This is why the screen looks blurry if you run at anything but the native resolution. (Note: This is with LCDs.)
With resolution indepence, at worst you do the same type of scaling in the OS. However in this case, the scaling algorithm affects only one app, the algorithm can be updated, and it can be better than the one used by the monitor.
And now they won't have to.
I guess we'll agree to disagree, and wait to find out. We already know that Apple knows that scaling things up will result in a loss of quality, or else they wouldn't be rebuilding all their graphics.

Since your iPhone 4 is on iOS 4.2.1 , you might be aware that there is currently no unlocking software available for the accompanying basebands.
Only the Gevey sim can do it right now, just plain inconvenient -- steps are required to get the kit working on your iPhone.What's more, apparently you'll need to do all of this again if you switch off the phone(if you keep the phone always on, then it's ok).
Got mine from a China based site, a knock-off at a cheap price, but it did work.

Drop resistance is important for me. A drop will happen eventually onto a hard surface, I want to make sure it does not affect my phone at all.
It would need to be sleek though and not too thick.
How is the otterbox commuter?
This is IMO but I think the best combo of thinness and drop protection would be the Speck Pixelskin HD. I would've recommended an Incase Slider but the entire case is thin but it is hard plastic which would either break your iPhones glass or just completely knick up the case.
Since the Pixelskin HD is TPU, it remains thin and it's a nice material for drops and it would absorb the shock MUCH better. And the drop won't show up on the case since it's so solid. So you won't have to ever replace it with a new one.
If I had to throw ALL my cases away and only pick one--just for aesthetics, protection ane thinness--I'd keep the Pixelskin HD.

Personally, I'd wait and see on this before putting down this much money. I expect that AT&T can track down and relock phones unlocked through this method. And, if they do, it probably won't take them that lock.
Second: while the seller claims they will refund your money, I wouldn't place a lot of faith in this if your phone gets relocked after a period of time. While Negri Electronics doesn't appear to be a scammer, some of the complaints about their customer service definitely would make me cautious about doing business with them - esp. in a case where I might be needing to get a refund from them months down the road. See reviews here (http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Negri_Electronics).

.... and the person is also asking for Bank Transfer only. Reasonable i guess (most other methods involve cost to buyer or seller) as long as the seller does not say 'Western Union' then it seems to be a pretty good deal.....
looks like a typical scam set-up........that's over $4000 of "New" computer and display they have listed so that current bid falls into the "too good to be true" catagory
and No......bank transfers aren't safer than Western Union........it just means that the scammer has opened opened a bank account somewhere which is easy to do.....wiring money to that account gives you no protection if it's a scam

The Microsoft phone will follow this death shortly. They really just need to abandon the hardware endeavor completely and use those resources to create a solid and stable operating system. Funny how Microsoft side barred into all of these other areas, yet their main source of revenue, Windows, is still a steamy pile.
Uh, Microsoft doesn't make any phones. They already do exactly what you described - make a great phone OS for other manufacturers to use. HTC, Samsung, LG have released phones using it so far and Nokia are planning new devices using it soon.

I'm not saying that this is what Apple will be doing, but for me, the whole point of resolution independance is to decouple font sizing from the sizing of lines and other graphics. Typically, people want to be able to make text larger, so that they can more easily read information. But they don't necessarily want all of the window borders to get thicker, or the icons to get larger, etc. So, simply zooming in on everything is not ideal. Plus, they don't want the font glyphs (lines that make up letters) to be scaled up, and made blocky, but rather to be precise and sharp, but bigger.
So, I can envision that there'd be two sliders to control things, one for the font sizing, and one for the other graphics primitives. Well, technically there's still the slider in the Finder for icon sizing as well. The sliders could cover any value range, continuously, and also have special spots. For example, there'd be the spot where one unit would be one pixel, and maybe even multiples of that. And on the font slider, there'd be the spot corresponding to "reality", where if you typed a letter in size 12 Times New Roman, and printed it out, and held that paper besides your screen, the letters on screen would be the same size as the letters on the paper, according to your eyes and a ruler.

I have a 2006 mini I use as an HTPC, the fan is louder than I'd like it to be but it's running at a normal RPM so there's not much I can do about it. My sister has a 2010 mini and I noticed it's much quieter than mine, nearly silent. So I was wondering if anyone knows if the fan model used in the 2010 would work in a 2006?

- I added "# 74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com" to my hosts file.
Even if you did have the SHSH blobs stored on Saurik's server, the line you added to your hosts file is not going to do you any good as long as that '#' character is at the front. Remove that. It's a comment character...it makes the DNS resolver IGNORE THAT LINE. With # in front of it, it's as if that line wasn't even there.
Whatever site you copied that from that contains the # in front of it is in error.
