Anyone know the sales figures for the classic itself, as i can only find for the touch or the classic bundled in with all the other players (nano, touch etc..)

Hi all,
today I purchased a stylus that's compatible for iPad and iphone..
It works perfectly on these devices, but somehow when I try to use it on trackpad of my macbook pro.....the cursor moves perfect except it won't perform the function of a "click"...
All it ends up doing is just moving the cursor which won't let me draw anything because it doesn't "click"...
I need help!!!

i've always wondered why someone doesn't put a small cam in a plugin module, similar in size to a USB cable dock connector. the cam would be facing forward of course, have a light for additional illumination and would be able to communicate with software on the iPhone to do video chatting.
I was thinking the same thing. I'd like to see one that could point either direction to help out us iPod Touch users that don't have a camera...
Never going to happened. Apple wont allow such device to work with iphone. . . .
From Engadget�s coverage of the iPhone 3.0 event:
10:19AM �They talk over the dock, and wirelessly over Bluetooth. Things like playing and pausing music, getting artwork � or you can build your own custom protocols.�
If Apple has provided a means of creating devices that can talk through the dock connector with standard, or custom protocols, how is it that they have any control over the creation of such a device? That said, I'll grant that they do then have control over the acceptance of apps that would use such a device, but that could open them up to even more bad press about their rejection practices...

i know that will work for another drive, but doesnt it read Partitions differently?
Well, it's just a path you put in the netinfo, so as long as your partition is mounted somewhere in the directory tree, it should work. Though admittedly I am using a completely separate drive.

You mentioned "when it does gain support" does that mean there is talk of updating drivers, or is it more likely that it will only be supported in future updates of the Macbook model itself?

.....think I've got more than 15!!!
These are the ones that I can remember:
1. Incipio feather
2. Otterbox Comuter
3. Speck candyshell (in white and also one in a clear)
4. Switcheasy Capsule rebel (one in black and one in red)
5. SGP Linear
6. SGP Neo Hybrid
7. Casemate Jett (one in silver and one black)
8. Switcheasy Trim
9. Switcheasy Nude (one in black and one in clear)
....I'm a case junkie!!!
The one that I always find myself coming back to, however, is the Switcheasy Capsule Rebel. Its an awsome case - a really good solid design, and has quite a slimish profile(it keeps the iPhone 4 solid square shape)
:D

The only things I ever do that use Silverlight are Netflix on my computer, and Bungie's website and their Halo stats, game, and film clip viewer. But, I can already do both of those things on the 360, so I can't say that I'm really in dire need of Silverlight.

So after playing with my brand new iPad I noticed something weird. Other than the crazy backlight problems that we have all been having, my iPad also shows weird lines when you sleep and wake the screen fast. I have tried to replicate this on my iphone 4 and ipod touch but I don't see anything on those devices. I also never noticed anything like this on my iPad 1. The iPad's at the apple store don't seem to do this but other non-apple-store ipads do. I am assuming it has something to do with the firmware. I have yet to upgrade to the newest firmware so that might have fixed this issue. Do any of your ipad's do this? Here is a link to a video I made so you can better understand me.

CS4 was a nightmare on my Mac, so I couldn't wait for CS5. But it's been pretty underwhelming for me. While the Adobe apps no longer crash continually, they are really sluggish in SL. PS images opened faster on my old PowerMac G5 with CS1. Even GIMP running through X11 is faster. Flash is still an incomprehensible mess, and getting worse instead of better. I don't know where to lay blame for Adobe's products, but in the end it only will hurt Apple. When I see others running CS5 flawlessly on a PC, I start to think maybe it's time to switch back....
Both Flash CS5, Photoshop CS5 as well as Lightroom 3 works AWESOMELY on 10.5.8 (haven't had a chance to test other stuff properly)
When I say awesomely I mean not a single crash so far, speed has improved drastically and I also haven't noticed any bugs either...
So don't think about Windows - its horrible OS - just go back to 10.5.8 :)

Does the touch 4G use a different size dock connector or something? I bought a cheap cable off amazon from the OEM shop and it appeared to be exactly like the official apple cable right down to the exact markings but the connector would not fit in the slot, the metal part is too large. I am getting a refund from the company I bought it from but I was wondering if anyone knows of a cheap source for cables that fit in the dock connector of the 4G touch.

Well the official videos come from the studios themselves so why are they complaining?
I guess they don't anticipate most people converting from youtube to mp3. But as far as im concerned it's the same as recording off the radio.

Hello everyone.
Firstly I'd just like to thank everyone who commented in my refurbished macbook air thread, the responses were valuable and I am only waiting to see if the price drops on refurbs if there is a refresh. This question is from a friend of mine with an ultimate 13 inch, and he was wondering if its possible to underclock the 2.13 ghz processor down to 2 flat. He said its getting hot while using video editing programs. Is this possible?

...The Apple care specialist says there is an known issue with the 850XT that is being addressed but with no known timetable.
Great. I ordered the computer on the 26th with the X850XT. Hopefully I wont experience any problems. It's nice to know that they will take care of the issue in a timely fashion though if any arise.
Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep a look out for artifacts.

actually they stayed loggedin for 7 days, and thats only if you're inactive for 7 days, applies to all people using it, most IM services, such as gtalk, msn, yahoo all do offline messaging, facebook does it as a message. with ebuddy i can see when people are typing, i can have group chats, do location sharing and i can file share with the apps too. so far the only thing i can't do is broadcast messages, which i've never heard of until you mentioned it, so therefore have no need. so really BBM only seems to do 1 thing that beejive and ebuddy don't do. the SMS thing is a bit silly, if someone ain't online and i want to message them i'll just SMS them, simple as, it's not like i cannot do that.
You're completely and blatantly (I'm assuming, other there's another word for it) missing the point. Knowing that you can ALWAYS communicate with a contact via a specific method is much better and more efficient than having to check if they're "online" every single time you want to message them.

I must point out to all the non Brits here, the Daily mail is quite possibly the worst paper in this country. They're xeno and homophobic and often print outright lies.

If you can, film a video from your phone as you walk out of the Apple store and show the line of people (which will probably be longer as daylight approaches), upload it directly from your 3GS to Youtube, and post the link on this thread. Interview the people in line!!! "Are you excited?" That would be awesome! :D

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.

Sorry for the slow reply, was doing a bit of spider removal.
Viewing angles on most IPS panels should be around 178 degrees. One thing to consider is, are you going to be looking at it from an unusual angle? Most people I know look at monitors from the front! :D
Only direction you'll notice real degradation in picture quality on an IPS is vertically and that won't be an issue, unless you're freakishly tall and you like your monitor at your ankles.
I used to worry a lot about similar things but once I'd researched it realised that there doesn't seem to be a huge amount of difference until you start spending lots and lots of money, and at that point it'll be past the stage of diminishing returns for average computer users.
