Add in the ability to watch movies (which they took out) and I'd buy it.
They need a bigger version, 16 GB is not enough.
Me: I'm not buying any ipod until I can get one with radio and movies.

Blu-Ray + MPEG2 HD, looks like vomit!!! ;)
<]=)
Exactly! I'm hoping that a CRT HDTV will help mask the problems. But I think for obvious MPEG artifacts it's Sky HD who takes the biscuit.

Hello,
I am excited about Lion being released! I am thinking about purchasing a MBP when it comes out.
However, my concern is I also need to run mobile apps (ie for iPad) for my clients. Will I be able to run apps made for iphone/ipad through Lion somehow.. either through a third party program or on the mac OS.
Thanks in advance.

My son has my old 2.8 Dual G5 with a 30' ACD he wants to use After Effects CS5 which will only run on an intel processor. I have a Quad Core Mac pro but never have the free time to let him use it.
He is considering buying a mac mini 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo so he can use After Effects. Has any one had any experience doing this? is it practical solution baring in mind we can use the mac pro to render files over night.
Any thoughts appreciated
Graeme

Apple has dropped major OS X developed into improving HFS+, little 64-bit architecture support for Proapps, lack of Blu-Ray support makes my job with OS X more difficult, no R.I. development, no mid-tower between the top iMac and entry level Mac Pro, spaces went from a useful 3D grid to the iOS 2D format which makes utilizing a system for projector based presentations more difficult (the grid made placing and accessing customized app placement easier for corp presentations), etc.
I understand your sentiment, it is true Apple makes way more money on iOS, but I have some issues with some of your points there.
Take a look at Lion, it's got a new filesystem called Core Storage.
It's got new API's which will make apps even more sophisticated.
Apple is still dedicated to Pro Apps, Final Cut X will have 64-bit and all.
You can't argue that the new iMac isn't pro level, with 2 thunderbolt ports.
The new spaces is a ton easier, since switching between them is now a gesture on my Magic Trackpad. Love it.

Hi. I created this guide, and dont know how to change the title from "my page name" to what I want it to be. "How to Take Apart and Clean Mighty Mouse (Pics)".
Also, I have links to images I hosted and want to imbed them, how do I do that. I tried even just putting an external link, not pictures, and it didnt work either.

Probably some new Apple branded mATX motherboards and a range of GPUs for Mac Pro from ATi and nVidia.
Got my credit card ready for when they are available :D

Hi,
We have an active directory network with over 1000 users. Last year we got 10 imacs and an xserve with OSX 10.5 for a music project . I set up OD and created users, etc. As it was only a small group of selected users I manually did this and they changed the password to the same as their AD accounts when they logged in for the first time. Now, the imacs have proved very popular and we are now getting quite a few more for Media, Art and graphics, which means a lot of students will now be logging into macs as well as PCs.
What is the best way to sync user accounts from AD into OD? I was hoping that I could still bind the imacs to the OD directory server and get the xserve to sync with my AD server to save me the hassle of manually creating accounts. Hope this makes sense.
TIA

Yes, it's confusing. Go to App Store, Purchases, Xcode, then click INSTALL. That won't actually install the product, but is going to put "Install Xcode" into your Applications folder. You launch it, and that installs the new version.Thanks for this. I finished downloading the 4.0.2 update from the App Store and launched Xcode and it still claimed to be running version 4.0. Didn't know what was going on there!

Hey guys, I was just reading about the likelihood of Apple dropping the Classic from its lineup this year due to declining sales.
But since its gonna be 10 years now since its introduction, who else would be really appreciative if Apple released a limited edition iPod Classic? I dunno what Ive could come up with, but a really nostalgic design, in white obviously ;), with a click wheel and maybe a 240gb hard drive to contrast how far technology has come in these 10 years. I would definitely be interested in this, and even though they might not be crazy profitable, if Apple produced a limited run of ~1 million, so that when they're gone they're gone, they could become nice little collectors items.
Anyone else agree?

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.

Ahh bus-powered is the term I was looking for. Thank you for all the informative replies, much appreciated.
Just some final questions.. is there any advantage to using a outlet-powered HD over a portable bus-powered HD? And how much difference will I notice between a 5400RPM and a 7200RPM drive? The difference in size would be 250GB, since OWC only sells up to 750GB at 7200RPM, is it really worth the speed?
Heck, is there a reason to use a portable? Now that I'm thinking about it, it's convenient, but maybe unnecessary. What are you guys using? Bus-powered or outlet?
I don't know technically if there is an advantage of powered HDD's over bus powered HDD's, but I feel better with a powered drive knowing that I am not over-taxing my USB ports with added load.
You will notice a measurable but not extravagant difference in performance in a 7200RPM HDD over the 5400RPM HDD.
Only you can decide if the trade off in speed over capacity is worth it.
I have a few powered HDD's that I use for Time Machine backups, and I do not carry them around. They stay in one place 99% of the time. Therefore I have no need for a more portable storage device other than my laptop itself. Again, this is a decision only you can make because it comes down to personal preference. There are many options available to you no matter which way you decide.

I agree getting to know CSS is the best way to go. And Wordpress widgets are just a nightmare.
Assume you mean Plugins? Actually you can do a lot with them, and if you know PHP you can even combine them to do stuff you want.
You don't really need to know that much PHP because you can basically find a Plugin to do whatever you want and then use CSS to style it.
The WordPress.org forums are great as are any on the sites that you download your themes from.
