I bought a silver iPod mini for my girlfriend on Feb. 13th, 10 days before the new ones were released. I got it at the Apple store in Orlando at the Millenia Mall. It cost me $233.89 after tax, a $10 coupon and the education discount. The morning the new models were announced, I called the store. They have a ten day price match policy and I had bought it exactly ten days ago. The manager said they would credit the new lower price to my credit card and I should expect it to show up in about a week or two. On Friday, three days after I spoke to the manager, a credit shows up in my account for $74.99. This means that I paid 158.90 including tax. Not a bad deal I would say considering it came with the charger, both firewire and USB cables and belt clip.
I like Apple more and more each time I buy something from them. I took the $74.99 and bought myself an iPod Shuffle. :D

Hi, I post here and there at the MBP forums. I recently purchased a 13" Pro and I'm finding the low resolution a little bothersome. After momentary use, my eyes begin to hurt and strain a bit. I wear glasses and recently updated my prescription so I don't believe it has to do with my actual eyesight.
I've been mulling over switching to an Air for a number of reasons, namely the hi-res screen and the portability. I'm discovering the Pro is a little overpowered (minus the hi-res screen, of course) for my needs, and would be okay with the Air's specs, especially if I decide to wait until the rumored refresh this June. Given this, I feel portability and the hi-res screen will benefit me more.
However, doing some research, I noticed a higher resolution screen means the texts are smaller, and I'm afraid smaller text may be counter productive to my eye issues. Do you 13" Air owners have issue reading texts? Do you feel you have to enlarge or zoom in often? I write (MS Word) and browse/email often. Or is the high resolution screen so sharp that small text aren't a problem? (And yes, this is assuming the resolution doesn't change with the refresh).
Anything you guys can shed a light on would be great. Appreciate it.

Hi everyone.
I just bought an iMac 27", 3.1 GHz i5 Quad-Core (the new high end model). However I was wondering if I should take it back now and get an i7 at 3.4 GHz? I just saw the geek-bench score for the i7 and was wondering if it is worth taking it back and paying another 240$ AUD for the i7. I think the i7 is considerably faster but seeing as I am only a student and do not really need the extra power do you think I should bother? It would really only 'future-proof' my machine.
And also are you planing on buying a new iMac? Or are you going to wait for the next generation?
Thank-you! :)

So I did a refresh install on my mini last night and in reinstalling iTunes, I lost the overall library view I used to have. Under the library menu I have music, movies, tv shows, etc and I know how to turn each of those on and off. But I used to have an overall combined library view. Any idea how I get that back?
thanks in advance.

I'll also pay for the more expensive shipping as a bonus.

You should! It's gorgeous and so is the drive to get there. I got a bit sentimental at that particular photo. I drove all over that state with e.
Key West is awesome! The drive there is long but wonderful.

Thanks for the compliment 100Teraflops. The mini shown there is an Ork scrap prospector, circa late 1990's. I really like the pewter Ork models from that era :cool:
Most of the minis I work with are Games Workshop products. Their Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 games definitely inspired much of the Warcraft/Starcraft concept art. So much that there are supposedly lawyers involved. The story goes that Blizzard wanted to make the Warhammer strategy games, but GW had other developers lined up to make them. So Blizzard sort of tweaked things enough to call it their own game. There are still tongue in cheek references to the Warhammer universe in WoW and other titles :D
@ Full of Win, I didn't know a reverser ring was an option. I'll definitely look into that!
@ gnd, Just saw your reply. Might not be able to get away with it after all :p
Thanks for clarifying the origin of the character and the background information. Happy shopping for a camera! :)

Let's try to reset that wireless card.
1. Reset Your Pram (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379) and/or Reset The PMU (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2183).
2. How I fixed my dropping wireless Airport connection problem in Snow Leopard (http://osxdaily.com/2009/09/01/how-i-fixed-my-dropping-wireless-airport-connection-problem-in-snow-leopard/) - Try the steps in this blog.
3. First turn off the Airport card. In System Preferences->Network pane look at the top of the pane for the "Location" drop-down. Use that Location drop-down to make a custom Location calling it whatever you like. After creating the new Location look in the right hand part of the pane and click on the 'Apply' button to save that new Location. Then rejoin your network.
Good Luck.

Dang, I missed the entire 2 day rescue lifting of the miners.
If this ever gets turned into a Documentary movie the only director that I can think of to make the project would be Werner Herzog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_Herzog).
Why would it need to be made into a movie? The real thing was much better than anything hollywood could do.

Also, if you are in need of a platform to scale as you add other device OS's then take a look at AirWatch. My company has used this platform for ipad enterprise security (http://air-watch.com/platforms/iphone/devicesecurity.html) and had real good feedback from the field.

Not really. I would say Leo is a lot more balanced and neutral, when it comes to reviews and reporting the news. He is a big fan of Android, for example.
See, when I started watching twit a long time ago, Leo was the poster-boy Machead. He would get into arguments with hosts (Thurrot) defending Apple products even when he was wrong. Now that twit has many more shows and a more varied audience, I feel he HAD to tone it down just so he would not alienate his viewers.

My first thoughts on seeing this post. Rarely do I say this - but WTF is going on with Apple on their app approval process?

Yeah, I was just going to mention he used to appear on MBW a lot. Now the only regular panelist other than Leo (obviously, he's the host!) is Andy.
And Alex. I have wondered what has happened to the other regulars? I still listen to the show but...

Well I forgot I had a dual boot setup on my powerbook so I just turned it on and proceeded to do something else. When I returned it had booted to Linux and had gone to sleep. The thing is, it doesn't wake up gracefully on Linux and in this case it didn't wake up at all :( I held the power button -> no luck, I then removed the battery -> still no luck... I mean, wtf?? I removed the battery and the sleep light was still flashing:eek: So i gave her(it) a kiss and apparently I'm no handsome prince so still no luck. Any suggestions? :o thanks

Are there any UNIX guys or gals out there who know how to get the setenv command to work in OS/X. I really need to use this command for something and not having it available is most frustrating.
