Self follow-up: two reasonable options seem to exist.
The PowerBook Duo supports SCSI Disk Mode when used with the Mini Dock. So in principle I think I could obtain the correct cabling and a USB SCSI interface and directly dump files onto the PowerBook from my MacBook. Since the PowerBook is on 7.6.1 and the MacBook on 10.6, I'd need either to downgrade my MacBook to 10.5 or to upgrade my PowerBook to 8.1 since 10.6 doesn't write to HFS and 8.1 introduces HFS+. Also, USB SCSI interfaces seem to be quite expensive nowadays.
Alternatively, I could get a USB to serial interface and connect the two machines up for zmodemy NULL serial transfers. Per at least one post I've found on the Internet, if I can get FreePPP onto the PowerBook then I can use the PPP daemon built into OS X and even bridge 7.6.1 onto the Internet, allowing it to fetch as many files as it wants or to FTP onto my Pro. USB serial interfaces seem to be a lot more available than USB SCSI, but this doesn't solve the original problem of getting some software onto the machine.

If you've see the keynote stream, then you'll of come across the part where Steve asked some of his employees (marketing, engineer etc..) to stand up and receive a round of applause.
I thought this was quite a nice gesture and it's the first time I have seen this from them.
Good things!! :claps:
Yes, it is a nice gesture-- especially when you imagine how hard of a guy Jobs is to work with/for. But I've seen him ask the crowd to give a hand for the hardworking folks in the trenches of Cupertino on at least 2 other occasions.

Besides a processor upgrade, the biggest upgrade from iphone 4 to iphone 5 is likely to be 4G. But is that guaranteed to be in iphone 5? I don't know.
Anyway, for people who find iphone 4 suits their needs, I doubt 4G is going to be a big sell right away. It seems to be available only in certain markets. I think unless someone is in one of those markets, there wouldn't be a rush to upgrade. Perhaps for those who want a better processor for gaming a need would exist.

4.3.0 sucks bad. Gyroscope isn't recognized by apps that need it, which is a huge bug. Also crap battery life, facetime issues, and other assorted annoyances. I'll take a 4.3.0 jb, but id much prefer 4.3.1.
Not sure what "issues" you're having, but I've had 4.3 (never seen it called "4.3.0" since there's no such thing, Math 101), but I don't have gyro issues, and my battery life is fantastic. I can't say I use facetime much, but when I have I've had no issues. Sounds like you might have a device issue, not a widespread OS issue. When Apple released 4.3, it was widely understood that it was released to plug the jailbreak.... tho it seems for many that "issues" suddenly are realized when Apple releases a "fix" ... I have a feeling that you're the type that if Apple releases 4.3.2 to fix "volume issues" you'll suddenly complain that you hate 4.3.1 because of the volume bug, even though you'd never mentioned it until they said they're fixing it. That's the type of person psychics prey on... lol.
Wouldn't surprise me, it is just a bunch of ungrateful and impatient drones.
This is why I ditched iPhone and went to Android 2 months ago. I got sick of the waiting game for jailbreaks. I have no right to a jailbreak, I just wanted it sooner, and the devs have had a harder and harder time making it happen for every OS release. Android on the other hand, has everything I jailbreak for already built into the OS... widgets, better multitasking, personal hotspot (not ad-hoc crap, etc). I bought an iPad assuming the chatter about "it's almost here" from 3 weeks ago wouldn't be like the Christmas promises that didn't come through till February for iPhone, but again I was disappointed.
Again, I don't feel entitled to something, my frustration isn't with the Dev Team, it's with Apple. They're focusing sooooo much energy on fighting jailbreaking that Android has focused the same time on building the features and OS that users want. If this thing doesn't come out in the next week this iPad is going back. Apple already lost me in the phone business, guess they want to alienate me as a tablet customer too?
Ok, queue the Apple fanboy flamers... it's fine, I can take it. I speak from reality not fanaticism. 1 year ago iOS owned the market, now Android does. Give it one more year and it won't even be close if Apple continues to treat customers like prisoners. That didn't work out well for them in the 80s, which gave MSFT the ammo they needed to permanently take the market, and this isn't panning out any different.

I agree with the current naming scheme.
Would it be worth making an Analysts category rather than using a directory page? Then we don't have to manually update it every time a new analyst is added.
I think that makes more sense.

Tad higher than I'd like, but can probably be lived with (assuming the reported data is even accurate).
Not sure how Partition Magic would work with an array (never tried it).
I just use the OS's ability to partition, or on occasion, Acronis True Image (use it for backup and cloning under Windows, but it also has a partition tool in it).
Oh, ok.
So just partition in Windows, format one partition in NTFS, leave the other one as unallocated space and from OSX format this unallocated free space in HFS.
What is the most accurate temp reading software out for the Mac anywhere? Like RealTemp on the PC gives very accurate reads.
iStat was recommended to me on these forums, though I don't have much confidence in it.
As lazy as I am think I am going to remount. However the way the temperature rises does not feel like it's the CPU making poor contact.
It's like for 3 minutes during prime95 test the CPU temp difference will be in 5-6 degree range, then very slowly the CPU A starts climbing up.

With Lion coming up in the Summer, should Apple offer free upgrades to customers who buy a Mac now? I say that as potential customers could be holding out on purchasing a Mac until the new OSX is released, wouldn't it be better to secure those as customers now and give them the Lion when it's available. I'm keen to get a Mac, I can wait but if I knew I was eligible to get Lion free I'd probably pull the trigger now.
I know a similar thing was offered to Windows users, a free upgrade to 7 when it was released.

Why not just get a Bluray firewire external combo-drive, or superdrive? That way you can add Bluray capabilities to your mac. Just a thought.

In the advent of "smarter" smartphones I see no need for portable systems (for me at least).
Nintendo and Sony should take note (with the Xperia Play it seems at least Sony* have already).
*SonyEricsson really.

Can DVD Jon's DRM be so similar to Apple's that when iTunes updates and goes looking for Firplay protected content, it finds content protected by DVD Jon's DRM and updates that too?
All I'm saying is, if you like to buy music from the iTunes Music Store, it's not a good idea to buy a non-licensed player [e.g. iPod] whilst relying on a hack. If Apple decide you need iTunes 7.2 to use the Music Store then you're stuck waiting for DVD Jon to work some more. Fine if you like waiting a few years to unlock your music, but then why not just buy the CD if you're going to wait that long?
I hate DRM by the way, but personally I think if you're going to this much trouble you might as well buy the music from another online store or just buy and rip the CD...

Disc 1 should have the Core OS on it.. or at least it did with 10.2 and 10.3. If you select none of the other options (printer drivers, xcode, etc...) you should be able to install OS X + BSD subsystem with only disc 1.

So, I've been searching for the best IEMs for many months now. I limited my budget to $200. But I am a value oriented person, so the less expensive, the better.
I have tried various options across many brands- from the lowly $10 SkullCandies to $400 Ultimate Ears Triple driver ones. Tried many big name brands- Bose, DrDre, Monster, Sennheiser, Klipsch, Ultimate Ears, Shure etc
However, none of them make me incredibly excited as the RE0s from Head-Direct.
For people who don't know about Head-Direct(I don't blame you, they are relatively unknown): HeadDirect/HifiMan is brand that produces the "RE" series of headphones. Their products are very highly rated by audiophiles for having the best value. I just recently purchased the higher end of this series, the RE0 for $80.
I must say, I have never known that music could sound so great. These are incredibly detailed, very crispy and yet extremely natural. The highs and mids really come alive from the music. Not recommended for bassheads though. It doesn't have the overpowering boomy bass like the DrDres or SkullCandy. However, it more than makes up for this - the bass is very tight and explodes with every beat.
These really are worth the $200 they used to sell for not too long ago. Very highly recommended
Honourable Mentions:
Over the years, I have tried a bunch of IEMs, and I just wanted to list the best ones, in case you were looking for something else.
$10 - SkullCandy Ink'D
People say bad things about skullCandy. I agree with them. But there is one exception, the Ink'd. These are the best $10 headphones I have listened to. Way better than their pricier alternatives. Good Punchy bass - A bit boomy. Treble/mids - Meh. But for $10, they are awesome.
$30 - JVC FX-66
These are awesome for the $30 range. Clear, detailed. Bass is good too. There are a few harsh treble notes that people may not like.
$30 - Head-Direct RE2 ??
I haven't given these a try but if they are anything like the RE0, then they will sound as good as the best $100 sets. Someone who owns these, please add your input?
$80 - Klipsch S4
These are at the same price point as the RE0. The only reason I would recommend them is the fact that they are very bassy. The bass is voluminous, also fairly tight and punchy. Not too great on the high/treble side though. But If you are into hip-hop etc, this might be a better option for you than the RE0. But IMO, the RE0 is a way better IEM.
I really have one thing to say about Bose/SkullCandy/DrDre. These really suck for the price. Sure they are better than stock Apple earbuds. And they do look very good. But these generally cost $100+ when they really should sell for half that.
I would like to hear what everyone else is using for their music.
tl;dr:
If you have $80 to spend and are looking for incredibly detailed awesome sounding IEMs, get the HeadDirect RE0.
