What we really need is lower prices.
If the new models dropped to say, 2299 & 2799, I think there would be a lot more of us upgrading from older PowerBooks.
Apple's PowerBooks represent pretty good value but they are a bit too steep for most people these days. I no longer feel I can justify spending over 2500 for a laptop.
The SONY & Toshiba DVD-R laptops cannot be taken seriously. The media drive is way too large for the enclosures and it looks ridiculous in the SONY model. I think they just did this as a publicity stunt, just for the atention & press. The SuperDrive would be an awesome addition to the PowerBook but I would rather wait than end up with a thick, heavy enclosure.
These Toshiba drives also only burn at 1X. Well, I'm burning a DVD at 1X speed right now (I tried some new, cheaper media that turned out not to be capable of 2X) and it's ridiculous. Most Mac users actually DO things with their machines, we can wait for DVD-R drives that are actually meant to be used.

The new macbook pro's were just recently released, so they won't be updated now for a few months, probably april of 2012 is when you'll see another update.
Not true, Apple usually has an update in the fall months for the MBPs. As other's have stated if you need it now, buy now. There is some talk of a redesign of the macbook pros, so who know is in store. That said new versions can sometimes have some quirks that need to be worked out as well.

Dang that's cheap! Though I have a fear of Hynix RAM from having many issues with its non-ecc desktop series in the past. Hope they hold up well and won't produce errors. No problems with total RAM detection\compatibility etc. for you ?
I am looking to stick 8GB x 4 of these in my Mac Book 2010 8-core with processor capable of supporting 1333MHz RAM.
I've been running 32GB of RAM in my Mac Pro for a few weeks now and never had a problem with it. It's a fantastic deal :D

Well I'm 34 and have been gaming since commodore 64's were released. I'm not really into games of this kind but I have to say it's probably the greatest game i have ever played. Possibly with the exception of "elite". In fact I sold my 360 because the game was taking over my life......when i deleted my saved games there were over a thousand of them.....

jdusoccer12, what category best describes the USB cable fraying...
Battery, Charging, and Power. And then it asks what accessory and you select the USB to Dock Connector ( or whatever they call it )

CS5 runs awesomely on 10.5.8
Glad I didn't upgrade and in fact I don't think I will at all until 10.7

I guess I'm confused on how that is steering in a different direction, your thread isn't based on one certain case....

Aside from starting again and re-considering some of your choices, at 2 megs it sounds like your trying to accomplish a bit much. But anyways here some tips:
1)Replace any images you can with Vectors as appose to imported bit maps. You can accomplish quite photorealistic pictures with vectors as shown on Vector Kid (http://www.vectorkid.com/tutorials.html)
2)External flash movies!
Try breaking the sections up into separate .swf files and calling them in externally. That way they'll only load when the user visits that section.
It's what I did here (http://www.jasondorn.com/sept_2004/) and my main swf was only 86kb, which is still high for web and part of the reason I switched from that design(and the fact it was just a bloated site)
But external flash movies can cut waay down on load time.

My Mac (Mighty Mouse) cursor is all glitchy & jumpy.
I changed the batteries, didn't help.
I restarted my MBP, didn't help.
I turned my mouse off & back on, didn't help.
I turned off BT & back on, didn't help.
Anyone had similar issues? Does anyone know what to do about it?
Thanks in advance

Dont post a photo and expect all praise ;) If you cant take criticism, don't post.
I like the photo - its good. However as others have pointed out, the graining devalues it (IMO) and makes the picture look amateurish. I can see where you were going though and like it.
Trying to tell me what the ambient light was like without having ever been there isn't criticism.
You made a thread just to show off this one photo! Please don't expect everybody to be gushing, "Ohhh my, how lovely." I wasn't trying to attack you or anything, and I'm not trying to say that you don't know what you're doing; I'm just saying that I think the photo could've been taken differently, and I'd like it all the more for that. I'm not even much of a photographer myself, you probably know more than I do. I was just giving my two cents. If you don't agree with me, that's fine, but there's no need to be so sour about it.
Ambient light is not a matter of opinion, it's fact... If I had shot this at ISO400 I would've had an exposure of about 1/2 a second, and the photo would be absolutely ruined by camera shake. Come on now. I don't expect people to comment saying "oh how lovely" etc., notice how I haven't even responded to any criticism (or comments for that matter) until you came in with your asinine ideas about exposure. Probably should learn a bit about photography before you try to tell experienced photographers that they're doing it wrong (when it comes to something as simple as exposure), people might take you more seriously. Anyone who knows anything about exposure will tell you that bumping down to 400 from 3200 is reducing your amount of light by TWO stops...

I'm an illustrator and the only site I am designing is my own at the moment. It's been a long and arduous road to learn, but every day I am more happy with the result.
I hope to have my site up soon and maybe I'll design for friends in the future, but web design isn't a new found career for me it's a means to an end.

So I can take a picture in Photo Booth, drag and drop on desktop to have it there and then delete from within the Photo Booth application and there will be no signs of it in the Photo Booth folder, correct?
Correct. Why not just test it to find out for yourself? It's quite simple to do.

Saw that but it�s got this in the foot note:
"Requires disabling of hard disk sleep in Mac Pro Systems to prevent drive from disappearing during sleep.
To disable hard disk sleep go to the Apple --->System Preferences ---> Energy Saver and uncheck "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible.�
Any other drives that don�t have this bug?

How many Intel Macs in public release? None.
How many PPC Macs installed across the globe. Millions.
Do you honestly think that software suppliers are going to ignore that market?
By the time PPC software is obsolete, your new G5 will be too.
Agreed...
All in all, there will always be updates, upgrades and changes to come.
The best time to switch? Always "now"
Which system to buy? You can always check the Buyer's Guide (http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/) for help in answering those questions as far as upgrades and cycles.

Don't encrypt!
I mean 10.7 is not even at the beta stage yet and given how easily encryption can destroy your data. Hold off until 10.7 is final

Eww silicone, I'll pass. Still waiting for the stupid overpriced Incase Slider. I was this close to picking up the Belkin Outfit Ice but there's no rubber rails on the inside
Are you talking about the Griffin Outfit Ice?
Are these silicone cases sticky like regular ones, for example, getting stuck in your pocket.
I would assume so. It's still silicone, generic or not.
