Hey folks,
I was hoping to gain a little insight into DSLR options, as I am looking at getting my first one this year. Been waiting a long time, as the last point and shoot (Nikon) I bought is relatively limited in its use. It does relatively nice macro work (that's what I use it for most), but gets pretty brutal shutter speeds in real life situations and has some nasty barrel effects in all modes. Pretty inadequate for shooting anything with dim lighting or straight lines, which is a lot...
My preference would be to return to Canon, the maker of my previous digital cameras and the older SLR's I have used in the past. Obviously there's a long list of differences, but I did want to point out that I have taken some photography classes during my education so while I do know the basics, I don't have any delusions about being a master photographer either. I'm just a guy with hobbies that lend themselves to photography (miniature painting and buying shiny cars, I do have friends who build and race as well). The fact that I have four weddings to attend this fall also gives me a reason to buy a nice camera.
Anyway, I am looking at the Digital Rebel series and weighing the different options. The T3i, T3 and last year's T2i all have pros and cons, with the T3i obviously having the longest list of features, but it's also got the biggest price tag of the bunch. I also believe that many retailers are packaging the T3 and T3i with a newer version of the 18-55mm lens (though I'm not sure how big of a difference there is).
I would definitely appreciate some input on the meaningful differences between these models. Thanks in advance :)

Steve Jobs and My Life of Crime
Steve Jobs has taught me many things, directly and indirectly, over the years. But one of the most useful and memorable is the correct method of breaking and entering a locked executive office.
It was sometime in 1978, and Apple had recently moved into a new building on Bandley Drive in Cupertino. The building had four quadrants: northwest was Engineering, southwest was Administration, southeast was Manufacturing, and northeast was empty (for the moment) and housed a ping-pong table. Steve was working in the early evening and I was in a nearby cubicle writing technical documentation.
I don�t remember if I heard loud swearing or not, I can�t imagine there wasn�t. But Steve was late for an evening appointment and had locked his keys in his office. The administrative staff (Sherri Livingston) had gone home and he was stuck. I popped my head over the cubicle wall and he said "Espinosa, c'mover here."
What he wanted me to do was to stand on a chair, push up an acoustic tile into the suspended ceiling, hoist myself up into the ceiling space and balance on the aluminum door framing, pop out the tile on the other side, and drop into his office. Though short, nerdy and allergic to sports I was still wiry and limber, and Apple was a such a free-form place I didn�t consider that breaking into the company founder�s office was out of my job description.
It took moments, I didn�t fall and break my fool neck or twist my ankle on the eight foot drop, and after I popped the door open Steve grabbed his keys, thanked me warmly, and left. I went back to my writing with a new job skill under my belt. It came in handy several times over the years when I locked myself out of my own office after hours, and once when an Engineering VP found a large poster of John Sculley Scotch-taped to the inside of his office window. (He had Security investigate for weeks and never figured out how it was done.)
I hope that my readers can appreciate that Breaking Into Other Peoples� Offices Is Wrong and that this knowledge should be used only for good, never for evil. (And I�ve been chagrined to note that some buildings have pony walls that extend a couple feet into the ceiling space to make this trick harder.) But you should also take to heart that in any job there are always new, useful skills to be learned.

Just because we're hearing about portal player making the chips Now doesn't mean that they were just selected now. Who's to say they picked PP to make the chips before the phones were put into production? The sequence of rumors released doesn't indicate the sequence of events apple is taking.
You'd think that, wouldn't you. But not only is that not the case, the reality is actually worse than I said. Apparently PortalPlayer has until 2008 to put together the chip. That's what the article says...
(Actually the EE Times article is awful and literally backs up MacRumor's summary without actually imparting anything that would give you confidence in it being real. The EE Times article mentions the iPhone once and then switches to talking about "the next generation iPod Video"; I think the author is just confused and wanted to conflate the two for the sake of the headline.)

I just bought a new iMac with an airport card. The rest of the computers in the house are pc's. I'm able to network with them with out a problem when I have a physical cable running to the iMac, but have no luck when I go wirelss. I'm able to pick up the signal, but it keeps asking for a password to log on to the network, and we don't have a password to log into the network. I'm running a linksys wireless b router and linksys cable modem. We tried entering in the WEP Key as the password, but it will not accept it. Any help would be great! Thanks

I for one am absolutely in love with the curent iBook form factor, but I would be thrilled with a 13" screen in the current 12" case. Such a cool idea! As for everything else, all I really want is a video bump (maybe to a Radeon 32 mb card) and a processor speed bump. A G4 would be nice, but it's not necessary to sell the line. Still, an iBook with a 13" screen, 32mb video system, and a G4 running around 800 MHz sounds a whole lot like a TiBook. The only way any of this is going to happen is if the TiBooks get a big speed bump along with the iBooks at MWSF. Still, I'm buying then no matter what.

You just plug it in...there are detailed instructions at the top of the main page on the steps required to do a clean install, I used them to pull off un-needed files.

The Sketch-a-Search app is very good. smart intuitive UI, someone in Yahoo is finally thinking outside of the (search) box.
but one thing that really stuck out was that it was using maps provided by Google. Really yahoo?

If your looking for a mouse get an MX700 or MX900, I have an MX700 and it is by far my most favorite mouse. If you can afford it, get the MX1000, it is amazing.

I saw this video a while ago, but I'm first commenting on it now.
The only thing that I didn't like about it is that woman. Who is that woman and why is she there interviewing Steve Jobs? I'm not feeling her at all.

If that happens often, take it to apple, as kernel panics like that can be signs of bad hardware.

DDC is a derivative of I2C and Macs have a I2C bus. The motion sensor is connected to the I2C bus, for example.

Are you using static ip? If so you will need to properly set the dns and default gateways manually to match the setting provided by your router when using dhcp.

Hey folks, got a 2.6 i5 MBP here and at times it gets a bit too hot, especially during Skype of all things? Not a major problem.
I have downloaded and intalled iStat which looks a cool piece of software - accessed via the 'DashBoard' but what I would prefer is to have the temperature, cpu usage, fan speed etc constantly displayed, somewhere on my screen regardless of what I am doing - is this possible?
Thanks
James

I have a desk from Ikea - lustrous white, suits it well. Can't remember it's name, though...!
For me, the 27" display is a work of Apple genius. The first time one sees it, one almost inevitably thinks, 'Christ! That's huge...!!!'. But when you've been using it for a few days, you're sold. Hook, line, and sinker.
Thanks for the desk info...I'll check it out.
I don't know about where you are in the World...
LOL...look at my location under my user name :D
Same 14 day policy here as well.

Hi everyone,
I like to listen to my iPod Classic at night while I'm going to sleep but the lowest volume setting is too loud with the Sennheiser earbuds I'm using.
I know you can lower the volume of the tracks in the iTunes metadata editor, but then my music is too quiet during the day.
Is there a simple software solution to this problem? I'd like to avoid buying some piece of hardware, but I'm aware that an inline volume control of some sort may be the only solution.

You can test the hard drive by removing it and placing it into an external enclosure. Or do you have a access to another MacBook to put the hard drive in?

yeah dont bake the thing in the sun but for a little while or if you take it in and out of the sun that will be fine.
as for if it will work or not i have no idea. all you can do is wait until its totally dry, id say at least a day or two. then try to use it. but dont try to use it before then.
if it still doesnt work you will have to have someone look at it and see whats wrong.
i hope it gets working easily for you. poor lil mac :apple::(
