As an 11.6 user it is easy to see why. I have had so many other laptops, including MacBooks and MacBook pros, and the air is my favorite due to build, portability, and performance with the ssd.

Nice to meet you today. Wow did I over estimate demand. Oh well, it was cool being first into the store.

It's not that I have an innate fear of soldering :) the task indeed sounds fairly straightforward and from a rational perspective very little can go wrong but there is just something about connecting 2x $500 SSD's with a cable that underwent some DIY soldering that does not sit too well with me and I can't really test it with a cheapo PC first too as that does not have any backplane cables that have male SATA DATA/POWER header.
It's a better connection than using crimp connectors, and is how your expensive electronics are manufactured (all the components are soldered to the PCB). ;)
Soldering wire isn't as common as crimp connectors due to costs (more labor intensive to solder, as well as more expensive materials and equipment is used).
I believe I will instead purchase the kind of cable you posted a link to and stay away from soldering or using nuts and crimp connectors. It probably won't turn out much more expensive either as I won't be needing that SATA Y splitter, but a regular widely available 2xSATA power that connects to molex will do with a cable like in link.
Either way will work, so it's up to you (soldered version isn't quite as messy IMO).
Also have found this one, but it's 1m long! No info on how long the one in your link is too.

The one I linked was 0.5 meters. You cannot go over 1.0 meters in total cable length with SATA drives, so please keep that in mind (the signal voltage is weak, and anything longer causes stability problems).
And this one, but it has 2x SAS connectors on the main female header so I doubt it will be compatible with the backplane connection cable on the Mac Pro.

i'd have gone for a 15 inch tibook myself, man, but if you don't need the portability, that eMac is a pretty decent hoss at 1 GHz with that load of RAM. got the 1 Gig on my Tibook myself, it really makes things snappy. VP6 is going to make windows really easy for you to let go of though, i hear it's slow as molasses. and i do mean mole asses.

Not working for me.
- I added "# 74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com" to my hosts
file.
- Downloaded iPod Touch 4G 4.1 firmware, and Shift + Clicked the restore button.
- Successfully put my device into DFU Mode (Power off, plug in, Power + Home, let go of power)
but nothing works for me.
I always get an error code (number 3thousandsomething)
Is there a way I can fix this?
I have the 4.1 file if you need it.
So when you go to iTunes, and do Alt+click, you can choose the file.

I downloaded some games for my Android phone. Doesn't mean I play them. I'm sorry, but having a controller is a very serious must.
On another note not related to the above comment, I would like to read the comments from those who have never played video games on this site. Since it's something that I've been exposed to for so long, it's interesting to see how ignorant people tend to sound when they speak of things they are not familiar with.

Technically AM3 CPUs will work in AM2+ boards. Problem is that DDR2 is a dead end at this point. DDR3 is so cheap nowadays I see no reason in not buying it and enabling yourself to use newer CPUs and chipsets.
As far retail stores - vast majority of people working at those stores don't have a clue. Also, not to sound sexist but why would you ask women to begin with? Yes, I've seen women that know about this stuff but they are rare and far between. Of course not to say that I can't imagine hearing such nonsense from a male employee.

Instead of buying Microsoft Office, why not give one of the Office clones a try? NeoOffice, LibreOffice or Open Office
I would try these, nice since it is free. If you don't want to download, have you tried something like google docs?

I have a 2006 mini I use as an HTPC, the fan is louder than I'd like it to be but it's running at a normal RPM so there's not much I can do about it. My sister has a 2010 mini and I noticed it's much quieter than mine, nearly silent. So I was wondering if anyone knows if the fan model used in the 2010 would work in a 2006?

Yeah, try repairing permissions. Or take a look at the downloads folder and see what the permissions and privelages are for that folder. The owner of the folder you download to should be you.

Pop round to your local 2nd shop for lens, on ebay just now is a 18-55is + 100-300 usm for �160 the pair. Some of the older lens are horrid but there are also real gems out there. Just look for a lens and type out its name + review into google and see what people are saying about it.

Ok I did something stupid.
I downloaded the trial of appzapper thinking that I'd actually try to keep my new macbook pro clean and get rid of the "hidden" files associated with other applications. So I downloaded the trial of photoshop cs5 and then zapped it after the trial period was up, and appzapper deleted a bunch of other files associated with adobe. Great, I guess that's what I told it to do.
Now, when I try to open pdfs in Safari (to just view in the browser, and not download them), a dialog box opens asking me where adobe reader is because safari can't read the pdf. I can only download the pdf.
I looked a little on adobe's website and google, but the adobe website wasn't much help and I could only find an apple memo on how to fix it if you're using windows. :(
So I'm turning to my friends in this forum... What can I do to make it better?
Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to help my cousin set up his new dental practice with audio and video equipment. He wants two sources and individual volume control in each room. I'm trying to find a nice way to do this for not a lot of money. Does anyone have experience with this? I could use some help finding the right components.

Apple Stock 5400RPM HDD. 160 GB. (ye, me poorfag)
I have some choices
1. Is a reformat able to get it back to 50~ MB/s ?
2. Is the SeaGate Momentus XT 500GB Hybird 7200RPM good?
3. Is the Intel 302 SSD (80GB) good? Will it have problems with OS X? Or just go with X-25M?
4. Which should I get?
Thanks :)

I'm freakin sick of the ITMS. :mad:
I love iTunes and my iPod, but purchasing music that can only be put on an iPod is crap. There may be a better player out later which I want to go to and then *poof* my ITMS purchased tracks are crap.
www.allofmp3.com
It's (significantly) cheaper.
It's better.
'Nuff said.
Not only is that site a pirate site but I personally know many people who run very small independent record labels that have stuff on there without permission.
Avoid these jokers at all costs.
There are legitimate drm-free places to buy digital music.
dynamicvworking out the key from the lock and pass onto another locksmith to make an exact copy to open a house or allow others to tour your house for free is not wrong? gee, what's the point of the lock on you door? what's the point of any password on your keychain (access)?
Stop trying to fight DRM, ignore it or don't buy the crap in the first place
It's a poor analogy because it's actually my door I'm trying to open (I bought the tracks).
Fair use!
AllofMP3 is exactly how all music selling sites should be. The possibility to choose exact what quality you want is great, no DRM is great, the price is of course also great.
If only the artists would get paid it would be perfect. :cool:
If you're going to "steal" music just use limewire or soulseek. Why pay someone to steal it for you? I don't understand.

I don't think that people here will clue you in as to how to pirate a piece of software.

I have heard a lot of great things about Audacity, although I've never tried it....
Tom, I understand your frustration, but I guess, I'm not sure why you would expect that every Mac come with exactly the same software complement.... it isn't true anywhere else in the computer industry. Sorry. :(

Hi
Sorry this is a rookie problem
When I upload my site using dw it uses the original images and file locations rather than the server relative addresses like this :
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link href="file:///Macintosh HD/Users/David/commissions/currentwork/finals for colin debug/htmldream/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<script type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
Is there a preference or something I should be pressing ??
Thanks

hi david
I made similar mistakes when I first started using dreamweaver, and it was all because I neglected to read the manual...
Dreamweaver works best when you plan your site from the ground up, in other words you really need to have your site structure fairly sorted before you start working. What you need to do is use the site manager- it's in the 'Files' tab on the right hand side of the screen. Click the combo box on the left and select 'manage sites'. You will then be presented with a wizard that helps you set up your site. You should already know what your root folder is, your default images folder etc. Once you've got all this set up, dreamweaver knows where all the images and links contained in your site should point to, and if they don't match, or your try to link to an image contained outside of the root of your site, it will tell you and ask if you want to move into the correct folder.
This is a bit of a vague explanation because you're better off reading the help files to be honest. I know it's boring but the key to successful and problem-free web design is organisation.
Hope this is some help.

Hi,
very new to this, hoping to setup a network between 3 Mac Pros for the purpose of copying video files back and forth.
all three towers are within 30 ft of each other
all three computers get internet via wifi
many of the file transfers will be 1 GB or less, sometimes up to 300 GB.
current procedure is a simple fw800 external that we drop into and drag off of.
looked into gigabit ethernet? would this work? does it need special cables?
can it be running while wifi network is running?
thanks!
