Yes, another vote for Wordpress. You can have many add-ons/plug-ins to make your site more attractive. Also, it�s free!

What I am trying to do is replace my wife's black iPhone4 with a new white one. She would like to be able to keep her text message threads that reside on the black phone.
Back up her black iPhone. Then set up the new white one from that backup. Aside from music and videos, the white one will be exactly as the black one was. Including the text message threads.

This sounds reassuring. Thanks.
I'm sort of obsessed with making sure I don't loss my music collection. I used to back it up with CCC but for ease want to use Time Machine. Guess I have nothing to worry about.

However, in many ways, the metric of how many times someone gets a rumour 'right' just isn't that important to a large proportion of forum members, especially many long term members who have their own ideas about who is worth listening to on any given topic or not. Many of them might read the news threads to find out what's going on and what people are thinking, but rarely participate in the scrum.
I think it could be somewhat analogous to member titles based on a user's total number of posts. Most people probably don't care what their title is. Some people will take "newbies" less seriously than others.
In either case, member titles, avatars, and join dates are form of recognition for members of the forum. Points could be used in much the same way. Just like member titles, some people won't care what points a poster has and others will. Perhaps the term "Reputation" isn't the best. Maybe "Rumor Rank" or something (or "Gullibility" :D).
In other words, the intent is to award a specific recognition for members (that want to participate). Just like member titles are known to be based on total posts, this would be known to be based on 'rumor' stories. I didn't really mean a system to rate a user's general contribution to the site. What I meant by "giving weight to user's opinions" was just in context of discussing rumors. For example, given the track record of Kevin Rose and John Gruber - when both weigh in on an rumor, which are you more likely to believe?
Besides, many news articles may not be about rumours but instead might be about actual substantiated news, so it would seem pointless to employ opinions on these as meaning anything useful. Someone voting on whether a OS release is a good or bad idea hardly qualifies them to get a higher ranking than someone who doesn't vote.
Right; news items wouldn't be appropriate to include a vote. By the same token, some rumor items could have multiple votes. Let's take one of the recent stories, for example. iPad 2 with High Resolution Screen and SD Card Slot, iPhone 5 with A5 Processor? (http://www.macrumors.com/2011/01/14/ipad-2-with-high-resolution-screen-and-sd-card-slot-iphone-5-with-a5-processor/) There's essentially three major features up for discussion:
1) Will the iPad 2 have an SD slot?
2) Will the iPad 2 screen have a greater resolution than the current iPad?
3) Will the iPhone 5 be a dual-mode CDMA/GSM model?
Out of the 346 posts, 21% of them either directly said aspects of the rumor were true/false or posted with the assumption that it was true/false (that includes you up there, Apple OC ;)) The percentage of unique members making such a post is higher because many of them posted several times in the thread, obviously not saying what they believed of the rumor every time.
How many of these particular posters are likely to be interested in some kind of poll/vote which can potentially earn them a badge or point for their profile? Of all the other posters that discussed the rumor without saying they believed it or not, how many of them may be interested in voting on the rumor for fun?
It difficult to say how broad interest in something like this is, but I don't think it's insignificant. Currently there are awards based on seniority/posting history: avatars, member titles, forum access, etc. Since a large portion of the website is rumor-centric; having a rumor-centric award system could be a popular addition.
What if there are currently no technical means to retrospectively award 'points' to almost half a million members? Is this where Arn and co should be spending limited time and resources to develop this system or would attention be better spent elsewhere on other forum and site features?
That's certainly is a concern. I'm also aware that forum software is basically a package deal and it could be difficult to add. I have, however, used several forums that use point-based system for members. One gaming forum in particular works in basically the same way as this system would work: members have points that they can use to vote on who they think will win a match. If they are right, they are awarded points; if they are wrong, they lose points.
Also, enabling contributors to clear their slate for $25 per year would make the idea of a reputation system completely redundant, how would you know who to trust?
Hopefully I have explained what system I imagine a little bit better. Contributors being able to clear their points would be more analogous to being able to use the "MacRumors Demi-God" member title.

I have bought two cases out of the 79. One was the SwitchEasy TRIM for my iPhone 4 and the other was the DLO Jam Jacket for my iPhone 3G. I regret neither of those. :) Everything else was sent out for review.
If you were cheeky and sold them all on, you would make a substantial amount of money! But it kind of is illegal so don't do it!

I would suggest to start out with maybe an SX guitar and a cheap practice amp, that way if you want to stick with it, you can upgrade the amp and have a guitar that is better than most of the low end offerings of the big name companies, and if you decide it's not for you than you don't have that much invested in it. Picking up an instrument is so much fun though...I started on an acoustic about 8 years ago, then started playing bass in bands for about 5 years on an off and even now a lot of my time is spent on something music related. Good luck!

Near your drawers are those windows? If so move the desk near the window (assuming it will not block the windows by shelves etc) I like to look out the window when i'm at my desk for natural light. Other then that, paint and new posters/art good ways to spice up a room.
Yes those are windows. I was planning on moving the desk over there but it wont fit by 2 inches! Talk about a headache!

Think about what you want a tripod head to do. Traditionally, there were head with 3 controls (up/down - swing left/right - rotate left/right) - and quick release (one control for all movements). Of course there are hybrids in between.
The formal is most useful for landscape type shots. For example, you could fine tuned the rotation so the horizon was level - by pointing the camera down until the horizon was near the top edge (really easy to eyeball how straight it is). Then you panned up/down to put the horizon on the exact level you wanted. And since the rotation control was locked down you knew the horizon was going to stay level. And then finally you can pan left<-->right knowing that the horizon is set.
The quick release (pistol grip) allows you set it up faster. Good for sports, for instance. But I find them frustrating when trying to frame a subject precisely (when I've tried out other people's tripods).

Hey Chase,
In case you are wondering. My wife just left the Apple store and they told her the guys that were sitting out there earlier got too hot and left. I will try to update you later. If you want to send me your number I can call you or something. I wouldn't post it on the board, but you can send me a private message and I"ll check before I leave home. She is going to give me an update in like an hour or hour and half.

I read the MacRumors battery guide. What I did not see- is there a preferred way to treat your laptop battery? Is it better to always allow it to run through full cycles or does it hurt your batter if you spend several days with your laptop hooked to the power supply?
Thanks! ;)
Thanks! ;)

Some artists have their very own category on my iPod because they have very extensive library's.
Frank Zappa - FRANK
Bob Dylan - Dylan
Grateful Dead - The Dead
Lou Reed - The Man
David Bowie - Bowie
etc.....
Have fun with labels like Cat Stevens is listed as Radical Islamic Singalongs, no offense to Islam and it's followers, just my sense of humor :p.
Fixed.
