I do realise that the VAIO is thicker than the TiBook, but still the point is that the drive has been shruck now to a size where it can fit into any notebook, it's just a matter of time (or technology) until they have it small enough to fit into the TiBook, and my bet is they allready can do this, it's just when they decide to release it....and in my book a 1Ghz Ti w/ SuperDrive would make an ideal launchpad.

Isn't the eMate smaller in size than a Macbook? I doubt the screen would fit.
its possible to cut out more screen real estate to make something bigger fit...

I thought when you sync an iPod to a computer, it would update its time according to the computer/laptop.

Thanks for the prompt response! will give it a go, unfortunately don't have access to another mac, think the screen settings may have been adjusted with the PRAM reset, but could also be that the PRAM triggered the Hard Drive failure?

I always tend to have all at once (not because I'm rich but because I'm greedy) but experience has told me that having a computer, Mac or PC, is more important just because it's more versatile as someone has already stated and can do so much more.
When I was having problems with my G5 and waiting for a replacement I had never known panic like it. With a console (my 360 recently), you just don't notice as much.
And it depends if you like the games on a mac which are somewhat limited to ports of two year old PC games and RTSs - which I love by the way. Consoles do the beat-em-ups, driving games etc.
Mac over everything though. Just make sure your Mac is fully specced for games if that's what you'll use it for. By the way, I found out recently that the Mac Star Wars: Empire at War will only run on the latest Intel Macs. Gutted! That's a lot of Mac users frozen out.

A link to what? A summary of Climategate? I'll let you flex your google-muscles on that one.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climatic_Research_Unit_email_controversy
First result on google.
Well, look at that, overwhelming consensus that there was little to worry about in the leak except for some transparency issues, and that the science behind it is still as strong as ever.

How about a user still being able to log in while on timeout but is unable to post. I say this as then you can still have communication from the offending user to the mods via pm (maybe restrict pm to just to mods during this time) vs using the contact us form which requires one to fill out a form to address an issue

the logic board "IS" the ipod, and it will physically fit right into the older case. so, i guess the answer to your question is "Yes."
So just to be sure:
The 6th gen faceplate should attach onto a 5.5 gen back.
The screen, clickwheel, and buttons will all fully function with the logic board and fit with a 6th gen faceplate.
Everything should work and I'm not going to waste my money assembling the parts to do this?

My 4th gen white "classic" is still going strong too. I hope they never do away with the design-- it's so iconic.
Mine is too :D
Although the only problem I've had with it is when I hook it up to my car's Harman/Kardon... when I disconnect it, it stays in the "Okay to Disconnect" screen and I have to reboot the iPod. :-/

Well I really don't like taking chances after what happened to m other iBook G4 1.42:eek:. And I have to take my iBook to school back and forth everyday. Take it to school and then take it to my Mom's or my Dad's [whose ever day(divorced parents)]. And I really think that my iBook is going to get broken or something is going to happen. So my solution: get another computer. And the computer I'm going to get is the eMac. The iBook will come over if needed, but will primarily be used at my Dad's house. The eMac will be at my Mom's house. She is helping out A LOT - $500. I would use my PC but, she took it away from me as I was bringing my iBook over all the time so she was like, what they hey and gave it to my brother. I can't get it back. So, I'm stuck, and the eMac is the sollution.
Here are the specs:
512MB SDRAM DDR333 - 1 DIMM
160GB Ultra ATA drive
8x SuperDrive (DVD+R DL/DVD+RW/CD-RW)
Internal Bluetooth Module + AirPort Extreme Card
Apple Keyboard & Mouse + Mac OS - U.S. English
1.42GHz PowerPC G4
ATI Radeon 9600 w/64MB DDR video memory
56K internal modem
Integrated stereo speakers
I'm really happy with those specs. I don't mind the CRT. I'm also getting a Mighty Mouse.
Order Subtotal: $1,032.00
Free Shipping: $0.00
Estimated Tax: $64.50
Estimated Total: $1,096.50
What do you think? Will this machine do me good? Should I save up some more for an iMac? (Money is limited)
I only need $351 for it.
Thanks,
Matt

A pic would help. Many people confuse an SE with an SE-30.
The floppy disk icon means that a bootable system could not be found. The reasons for this are numerous. Hard drive physically removed, corrupted HD, no blessed System Folder on HD, a failed HD.
The more information you can provide will assist in diagnosis. Removing the rear cover and taking a few pics and even recording the sound the unit makes (closely mic'd). when powered up.
Creating a boot floppy and attempting to boot from that may also glean more information, or, it may not. :(

I was experiencing the same problems as others after installing DP3.
That is, installation seemed ok, UNTIL it got to to "moving items into place" after which it hung.
I forced a restart, and ended up with the grey screen and spinning gear.
I followed insomniac321123's suggestion:
- rebooted to Snow Leopard
- opened the root Library folder
- opened the Updates folder and located the "lionswupdate.pkg"
Note: it was located in a folder named "041-0870"
The pathway is (root)/Library/Updates/041-0870/lionswupdate.pkg
- double-clicked that, re-ran the installer app.
- this time, when it got to the "moving items into place" segment, the task finished (in relatively short time) and I received "the installation was successful".
After this, I was able to restart and get a "good boot" to 10.7 build 11A444d.
Other observations:
When I _shut down_ Lion the first time after the update, it seemed to take extra time, with quite a bit of disk activity. I'm going to _guess_ that the problem may be due to files that normally get written at shutdown to be read at the next boot. These would normally be read and pre-loaded before the finder loaded, but could not be, hence the spinning wheel that prevented the finder from loading.
After I finally got a good boot after running the procedure above, and Lion corrected whatever it needed to correct at shutdown, subsequent shutdowns are "normal" again.
This was my experience exactly. I've been out of town, so I haven't been able to post very well.
Thats one of the big perks of having a second, more stable partition. Besides having another OS to fall back on, you still have access to the disk of the problematic OS.

The first thing to do would be to read the stickies at the top of the forum. They will have book suggestions. If you are totally new to programming, you might actually want to learn programming before you delve into OOP and iOS programming. iOS development is not something you can just drag and drop a few objects around and have a best-selling app. You need to actually know about control structures, blocks, memory management, etc.. etc..
A good starting point would be to learn C. Objective-C is a superset to C that adds an object-oriented framework (classes with their variables/methods).
As for the hardware : either, it doesn't matter. Programming is not something that is especially hardware intensive and any Intel Mac can be used for iOS development, so your choice here should probably be based on your budget and other needs.
As for design, no, the basic controls are all provided by the UIKit framework. No need to "design" any graphics for basic applications.
