Oh, I see. Bummer. :( Try hiding it under the desk. Or better still, say you have to go to the restroom. That was always my excuse for any urgent business during a lesson.
It's kinda hard to do that in band, which is next. I have like 5 more minutes on here.

And your point is? :D
People are still gonna complain unfortunately:( Its all about priorities. I for one am a huge Valve fan period(hence my interest in the thread)...that said, Im not super enthusiastic about MR threads on "Facetime Updates"/etc. People just care about different things...I dont think thats crazy;) Stay well friend!
I see the point, but there's a bit of a difference between something not being to your taste and telling the people who run the sites that they're geeks who don't know what constitutes a newsworthy site. :)
If I did complain I'd do it in a way that was at least civil, hehe.

This shouldnt be called 3d, its not in any sense 3d. You need a stereoscopic image to do 3d. This is a cool illusion but it is not 3d at all.
Imagine how awesome it would be if this was combined with the 3DS tech, not only to make it possible for you to look around objects like shown in the video (that should be possible with software on the 3DS) but also to adjust the displays to send the two images to where your eyes are, not just straight forward and force you to keep the device still.
Not possible. Glasses free 3d requires very narrow viewing angles, you cant move your head around or the 3d effect is lost.
This would work great with normal 3d glasses, there is no limit to the viewing angle and the glasses themselves will be able to work like the wiimote/move controller and send data about their position creating a much more accurate effect without judder.

That's exactly what i got!!!
I tried the PhotoBooth trick and the noise stoped!!!!
Thx!
But i did not have that BEFORE the efi firmware update ....
:eek:
to bad it returns once you quit PhotoBooth. :rolleyes:
Can you post a link with the standard "remove battery" and do a "P-Ram-Reset" routine.

ooohhh well they may aswell have all your years of personal information on the server farm!
why dont we all just send them our hardrives? then whoever works in that place can do that evil laugh MWHAHAHAHAHAHA! the power all that information!!!!
this is the way of controlling what we do if it gets to us uploading everything to a cloud server.
time machine back up to cloud? yeah? what stops apple cracking that open to see what im up to?

I would love to have a GPS and a few GB of worldwide maps on an iPhone. I'm not always within range of a tower and I don't even want to think about foreign data rates...
This is the one thing I will give Google credit for. Google Earth works really well when you have a fast internet connection. The issue is how to you find friends on the map (based on them sharing their location with you), stores, tourist attractions, and the best route to take when you might not have the best coverage or there are thousands of people trying to use their phones to get data or calls...
Apple could use some of their cash to buy a TomTom or Garmin though...

I don't think anyone is better than anyone else. I simple stated my opinion, if I were in the OP's situation, I would consider a mini... then, I got flamed for it. PPC are still great as servers and for iTunes and web surfing. I apprecaite the PPC, but I feel, the mini is more bang for your buck.
Ah, ok... money seems to be the reason why you would think the Mini... but what if the OP could get a dual core 2.3 for like 250.00 on ebay w/the following:
Dual core 2.3 PowerPC G5
16GB of DDR2 PC2-4200 Memory
2x320GB SATA Hard drives
18x Superdrive
Fully loaded with Mac OS X 10.5.8
Original software/restore discs + manual + box.
Nvidia Geforce 6800
for like 250.00 - would that be a good deal for the OP? I think the Quads are also nice, but you have the risk of it possibly leaking later on.. though when I acquired my G5 Quad two years ago from a recycling company in NY for 1000.00 dollars(I was on a G4 MDD at this point), Apple confirmed that the G5 Quad I got had the "Better" quality grade LCS, and not the DELPHI which plaugued the Early 2005 dual 2.7 and dual 2.5 OF 2004.
I think the dual core 2.3 is a good deal at 250.00 - do you agree?

Anyway, what would be nice (but a long way off) is a thin touch-sensitive OLED membrane of a keyboard. It accepts input and provides visual feedback, but can also provide tactile feedback by way of a series of pins underneath the membrane. The system could cause the pins to raise slightly, forming the outline of keys or perhaps bars for mixer controls or whatever. Like I said, a long way off, but that's the earliest that I can see this sort of idea actually being marketable.
What prevents the entire "base" of the laptop from being able to detect touch input like an iPod scroll wheel - but instead of up, down, left, right and "around," it's a keyboard, and gaming pad, a PDA, a DJ pad, video editing, medical field, education, whatever? Each different input configuration controlled by whatever application you're using.
Dunno, just rambli'...
One nice result would be no marred screens form raised keys (tho that may have been remedied by these latest sunken MacBook keyboards).
Then there is the tactile factor... which is still important (I think). I use a Treo 650 and while I have the option to dial numbers via touch screen, I almost always (like 99% of the time) opt for the teeny tiny little numbers in the QWERTY keypad. Not 100% sure why, but I think it does have a lot to do with the tactile quality of the QWERTY vs. the absolute zero tactile aspect of the touch screen.

They aren't that way all the time. The Moscone is distinctly lacking in other options.

I'm suprised nobody has mentioned 3 TB drives, you can get 7200 RPM 3TB drives for $179 or 5400 RPM 3TB drives for $149 these days, why not reduce the number of bays you need by ~50%.
It doesn't sound like you need incredibly high performance given that it's for archiving video and your internet uplink is only 1.5 MB.
You didn't mention your budget, if it's on the low side, I'd go with a Linux NAS, you could build the whole thing for under $4k.
$335 20-bay SATA chassis http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811219033t
$300 for 2x Intel SASUC8I 8 port SATA controllers
$80 for 4x SFF-8087 cables
$500 for a Mobo, RAM, CPU
$2100 for 14x 3TB 5400 RPM drives @ $149 each
$150 ~800watt quality power supply
$150 misc cooling fans & wiring, dvd drive
Run it RAID-6 with 2x hot spare on Linux. If afpd meets your performance expectations, you're good to go. I have a 10x 5200rpm 2TB RAID-6 linux NAS media server on a 3 or 4 year old low end athlon x2, I get 250 MBps on reads with software RAID-6. afpd is single threaded and will likely be a frustrating bottleneck for writes, it will hang during writes while it syncs to disk periodically. The above config would have no problem saturating gig ethernet during a read and come close to it during a write. Using it as a SAN via iSCSI may allow for higher performance, although you'd need to bounce incoming connections off another server.
So thats your low end, look into redundant X-Serves with DAS arrays for your high end (or EMC if you have a few hundred grand to blow).
Keep in mind RAID is not a replacement for backup, if you are not going to backup to external media at least consider a filesystem with extra space and snapshots, and maybe a second identical server you can replicate to. A higher quality chassis, redundant power supplies, hardware RAID, an X-Serve w/ DAS would be nice steps up.

Yea I was suggesting Linux or Unix for the supermicro build,
3tb are a bad idea for a pruduction environment cos there less reliable slower have far longer rebuild time for raid are more expensive the list goes on

"I think and hope that people are going to understand. There is as price for being an early adopter and your points and feelings are valid (Penello said when referring to gamers IGN suggested would be angry about the new system). But whenever you innovate and change, you have to face this situation. Your same old system is still perfectly valid."
"We could never have done this before, to bring HMDI and 120 GB to the system when we launched in 2005. The reason we didn't do it before was because the HDMI standard wasn't complete. It takes time to develop these things. We started the console earlier than Sony did and when the HDMI standard wasn't done. At the time we were developing, this stuff was in transition."
******* off you couldn't have in HDMI in 2005. MS really irks me with this move. I wanted a god damn HDMI port.... :mad:
I agree. There was already PLENTY of TVs with HDMI connectors in 2005! THE ORIGINAL HDMI SPEC was back in 2002!!! :eek:
Is it just me, or does Microsoft think that us consumers are stupid? Obviously they don't care about the current 360 owners. I can already feel the anger that you guys have...As for me, I'm actually pissed off for you guys. I mean, I've waited all this time to get one, and now I can get an Elite model. But, that means that people who have gotten a 360 a year before...Man... :(
More options to piss of the current customers eh?

They're going to sell a crap load. Thinking otherwise is simply foolish.
