New here, and planning to purchase a new mac mini for next school year. Here are some question, hope someone can help me out. I had already read some of this, but still want to make sure.
I would use for school work, some graphic designing, music composing, and of course a bit gaming.
2.4GHz or 2.66GHz ? Would it be different of the performance?
Would like to upgrade ram, a little question that on the apple website is "8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM (add $300...)", and I saw someone said this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231294
would be work fine, is it?
I had already got a bluetooth keyboard with said work with windows, mac, android etc. could it be work? and might also a bluetooth mouse I use with windows right now.. I know it kind of dum question, but just want to make sure and save some money.
About the applecare, should i buy it as well or not? If not, could I buy it like 11 months after i purchase the mac mini?
Thanks for reading my questions, and all of the answers :)
The processor upgrade isn't going to buy you a lot more performance. Regarding the ram, Newegg would be a smarter place to buy it for sure but all in all, I wouldn't recommend you get 8 gigs. 4 gigs is more than enough for most users. You can buy Applecare 11 months down the road. Any bluetooth OR usb keyboard and\or mouse will work.

This will be great with a Mac Mini and once they get a final release. I hope, if this reaches a good enough release stage, that perhaps Apple could sell it on their website or whatever.

I too will be very disappointed if the scroll wheel disappears from the iPod.
I am also quite skeptical about this 'bezel-touch' idea. That's where I hold the damn thing. I can't pick up my phone without changing the ring tone level now my iPod will scroll to a new track or shoot up in volume.
No thanks.

The Airport card is great. The CD-ROM isn't.
Ya, $400-500 seems to be a fair value for the iBook G3 in question.

I guess I am out of luck. I have no clue how to remove the DRM on the original app. I am so kicking myself in the butt for updating it. UGH.
I dare you to open a ticket with cablevision and tell them their update broke VPN!! :p

He's thinking that the app checks if there is a VPN connection on the iPad. If the connection is done on an iPhone then tethered to the iPad it wouldn't see a VPN connection on the iPad.
So I had my friend try it and iphone doesn't seem to be able to connect to VPN and do mywi at the same time. VPN disconnects after mywi connects and won't reconnect after.
PPTP vpn on my android doesn't work with my firewall so i can't test it either

Half the day has passed. nothing yet!! :confused:
I believe that was suppose to be yesterday, not today...
Today there are multiple sources that now claim 4.3.1 should be out in two weeks or less, and that Apple has fixed the hole in the iPad2!

Hi everyone,
I have Logic Express on my Macbook Pro but now I need a keyboard/speakers etc to be able to use it. I have no idea what to get - to be honest I want the cheapest possible just to get started as money is tight at the moment.
I'm a keyboard player so eventually I'd like a keyboard with weighted keys but it doesn't have to be to start with.
So: what keyboard? speakers? anything else?
You are a keyboard player and you don't already own a keyboard??? Use what you have. You of course need to connect your K/B's MIDI to the mac but just et the correct cable
The cheapest speakers would be those little earbuds that cam "free" with your ipod or your computer's built-in speakers.

I'm fairly sure you're not the only one who has the same concern, especially when iPad threads get derailed.
A few years ago, when the iPhone came out and the iPhone forums were set up, there were also a lot of threads in there about other phones and manufacturers, which seemed to annoy a lot of people and draw a lot of hostile discussion, so much so that I created a poll and placed it as a sticky in there to gauge how people felt about using the iPhone forums in this way.
From memory, after 3-4 months of leaving the poll open, I think it split fairly evenly, with about half of the iPhone regulars wanting to keep it purely iPhone-related, the other half wanting to talk about rival smartphones in the iPhone forum.
There was some discussion about having a policy where we would move Nokia-related threads (for instance) into Community Discussion, a practice that didn't really work out and doesn't seem to have been continued, perhaps because the problem has subdued a little or that it didn't represent an ideal solution either.
So, it's a similar situation and has affected more than just the iPad forums over the years. Perhaps there's scope for setting up a new, broad but carefully limited umbrella or sub-forum for non-Apple tech with a little shuffling around.
Or perhaps it might be best to just ride it out for a while, sit tight, keep an eye on whether this is a temporary thing and see where things stand in a few months. The tablet tide is high right now; what will it be like when the water recedes a little?

I absolutely loved all of today's announcements! iTV sounds AWESOME I personally think.
Some people are complaining that the videos aren't high enough in resolution, but it will take off as is. Think about this for a second. The quality of music in the iTunes store is not near CD, and the movies are "near DVD"....the public didn't mind on songs, and I HIGHLY doubt that joe shmoe down the street will care about his movies. For all he is concerned, he would think it looks as good as DVD...The average user WILL NOT notice that what, 80 pixel loss on the width. I commend Apple, and am awaiting to see exactly what the potential of iTV really is!
As a note: iTunes 7 downloads movies SLOOOOOOOOW, maybe because Apple servers are overloaded, i don't know? All I know is for National Treasure a 1.5GB file, should take 33 minutes and 33 seconds on a 6 megabit connection that we have here. (Obviously, actual speeds are not close to 6, but 2-3 is def. sustainable) Even at 2 megabits, it should take 100 minutes, which is not bad at all. BUT, It has been downloading since 6pm and it is now 11:26pm with an estimated 35 minutes left!!! :mad: Either Comcast is ripping us off or Apple's servers are maxed out (which I suspect, because my internet is running pretty quick)
EDIT:
Hmmm....maybe I have my number wrong. According to iTunes, it is downloading at 565kb/s How many kb is in one gb? The one site I looked at says 1,000,000kb = 1gb. And 1 megabit = 125kb....are those numbers right or was the site wrong?

This means little to nothing without absolute numbers.
exactly
Love how you can just come up with a chart and say anything these days and not have to back it up with numbers (done all the time for both iOS and Android)
"For this year�s report, Flurry once again leverages publicly available market data in the news, released by companies such as the NPD Group (e.g., Gamasutra�s Behind the Numbers series). We combine this data with our own estimates of game category revenues from iOS and Android devices"
so they do not even have actual sales numbers for iOS/Android - I use a report like this at work to justify anything and I think I would get fired on the spot :rolleyes:

I'd like to go for iskin.com (as I did for the previous generations).
but here is what they replied to my email:
seems like they won't make them too soon availiable...
have to pick another one... hints welcome ;)
are any cases availiable, yet?
There are already a few companies taking pre-orders or at the very least have the pages up with cases announced. I now "CaseMate" has two cases up (no pictures nor pre-order) and Griffin Technology announced that their cases would start shipping "Late-Fall" with photos (or at least mock photos) of about 5 cases for the Touch (http://blog.griffintechnology.com/archives/were-getting-ready-to-wrap-your-new-ipod).
Correction: Griffin's still start shipping "Early-Fall" and are up for pre-order.

I don't think there is a setting to have the PB continue to function with the lid closed unless you have an external display connected.
I sure there is a way to do it by disabling the sleep function all together by using the terminal, but I would not attempt that on my machine.

It's not greed. They make a good product that people want and are willing to pay for.
Is it greed because my client list has an addendum that is a waiting-to-be-my-client list? I'm good at what I do, people want what I do and they're willing to pay me at my current rate. ....
No kidding, that line is always so long. But, when did McDonald's stop calling them customers and start calling them clients? Smart move, either way.
