This had probably being asked before, but I didn't wanna resurrect an ancient thread, so here we are.
How are the entry level 21" iMacs at video editing? I'd be editing 720p video. I'm sure they'd be fine, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience to share to reassure me?
I'm probably going to get one.
With student discounts I can get the 21" with Final Cut Studio and Photoshop for about �1,300. Sounds worth it to me!

I've seen and heard about the Zune's as much the Xoom. I've still yet to see either of them. Like the Xoom now, all the people who were for them would go on about specs. The Zune HD looked quite cool, in a way the only need to fire the guy pushed for the Poo brown color.:D

I'd change the hard drive out too. I've bought six G3 iMacs in the last few years and the hard drive of every one has died after a few months of proper use if it wasn't dead already.
Give it a speedy 80-120gb drive and 512mb of RAM and it'll speed up to no end. They're still very usable computers!

Or follow a nice, easy iPhone dev related Twitter list, which includes all the main players, like this one:
http://twitter.com/Aubin/iphone-jailbreak-teams
This also allows you to follow all the irrelevant re-tweets comex does, as if anyone cares what he thinks about non-jb topics.

Wow, and nobody could have seen this one coming. Proof that the demand is low: I've never even seen one!
Well just another failed product by microsoft.
No, I'm pretty sure Apple canceled the Zune.
This is all so funny. Almost as funny as Apple's total failure in the server market. Remember? They recently cancelled the Xserve product line and they even quietly retreated from developing a standalone server version of OS X. Did you guys laugh so much about that, too?
So, now Zune software is gonna compete with Windows Phone 7?
No. The Zune software is for Windows Phone 7 what iTunes is for iOS.

With the MaxConnect BackPlane Attachment for Mac Pro [2010] Systems (SZ-MACPRO10-MS06) I can't make it out too well from the picture but it appears there's a small adapter attached onto the back of the hard drive ports correct?

This is a really short sighted and black and white viewpoint.
1. Even games that are better with physical controls can be implemented to still be fun on the iphone. Sure, they probably are just going to be ports over from other devices (hey, let's see if we can pick up a few more sales), but they still are fun to play (I've played Assassin's Creed and Prince of Persia on my phone. Both are fun and easy to get over the only having a virtual joystick).
2. Shortsighted because this completely ignores the fact there are many games that you really don't need physical buttons or the gameplay is actually better using something else:

I do I agree, I would love to see starcraft 1 touch on the ipad......but I'll play Red Dead Redemption or Dead space on my tv
Well, as I said before, this isn't iphone against consoles, this is iphone against other handhelds. We should be comparing games we'd expect to play on the handheld devices.
Of course console is going to be better. If we are talking about playing at home and not needing portability, of course the console is a better choice than any of the handhelds.
You're comparing apples to oranges here. You may not be interested in handheld gaming, but that is what is relevant to this discussion, not console gaming. The iphone and other hand helds really aren't competitors to consoles, they serve a different purpose really.

Of course, with some of the functions, a lot of less saavy users would definitely need to read that instruction manual, or be initiated by some other user.That's be no different than the current iPod.

What if the patent diagrams are just cover for what this thing really is, which might-maybe-perhaps-could-be something entirely not-ipod. Maybe, the ipodish descriptions only are to throw us off and it is really a new mini-handheld computer, video player, wireless downloadable from itv-or-your-mac, remote, tv viewer. If apple were to be planning something like that, they would probably want to not let the patent reveal the product. just thinking....

Does the Mac mini accept any other optical media like audio CDs, DVDs or other kinds it should support?
What does it say in System Profiler > Hardware >> Serial-ATA >>> "optical drive"?
You could make screenshots (http://guides.macrumors.com/Taking_Screenshots_in_Mac_OS_X) if you are unsure.

Hello all,
I have an iPad 16GB. I tried to jailbreak with PwnageTool, and everything went smooth with restoring with custom firmware in iTunes, so it seems!
After the restore is complete, the iPad stays in Recovery Mode, and all I get is a black screen (as if the iPad was off), but when I plug it into my Macbook or PC, it shows up as in Recovery Mode in iTunes every time!
I have spent hours trying to get it to work. I've tried 4.2.1, 4.2.1 custom jailbreak, 4.3.1, then back to 4.2.1. Still nothing! I am stumped at this point. I have tried holding the power button, holding the power button as well as the home button, and the iPad will not do anything unless it is plugged into a computer.
I have tried TinyUmbrella's "Fix Recovery," which brings it to a white screen, then says unable to find gbdevlist etc. etc.
I have tried a soft reset, nothing works...
be a new NEWS single soon?

Do you think there will be different jailbreaks for the AT&T and Verizon models being that they're different chipsets?
I hope not it's not like the iPhone where the Verizon version would not only get updates later, but jailbreaks as well.

I scanned in class notes into a pdf file. I then arranged the PDFs in the order I wanted using Preview. Now I can't seem to save the whole thing as one big file, so I can view it on my ipad.
When I click File, the option it gives me is "save as" and will only save that one pdf slide to my desktop.
I need help, I just spent 5 hours doing all this, with well over 600 pages.
thanks in advance
While you have them open in Preview, select all (Cmd + A), and go to the File->Print Selected... or something like that. Click the PDF button in the lower left hand corner of the print dialog.

I was thinking about this the other day- scanning work documents to archive on my computer. Plain text can be scanned in B&W, such that PDF's of your documents are very manageable in size- under 100 kb. For most business documents, I think this would be fine (or maybe 4-bit grayscale.)
It would be great if you had an OCR that automatically generated a PDF file with both the original scanned 'image', and the OCR results. This way you'd have both in a single file, and could toss the original knowing you could correct for OCR mistakes later. Of course, these documents would also be Spotlightable.
Xerox has a scanner which seems to be more focused on text documents rather than images. It has a document feeder, seems fast, and I think it's within your budget (I'm an ignorant American so I'm no sure ;))
