If you see a person who purchased a mobile phone in the last year, the chances are it is an iPhone.
I am pretty sure this report is saying that if someone bought a mobile phone in the last year there is a 19 in 20 chance it is NOT an iPhone.

Haven't noticed a temperature change but wouldn't care either way.
Is it just me or does is scrolling smoother on a MacBook now? It wasn't bad before, but it seems more fluid now.

So they had it limited intentionally until recently with this update? I don't get it. Why was it limited to 6 until now? It's not like anything was added to the hardware by magical pixies while we slept. It looks like it was intentionally limited to 6 when it could have been 8 the entire time.

If you want to opt out and not provide this information, you can get the OS X version of dyndns.org to manage a domain name that handles dynamic IP address changes.
Or use no-ip.com. Their free service lets you pick a subdomain for yourself, and they have both a manual app for updating your IP, and a background process that will keep the IP updated automatically. (However, their software for Mac is fairly old--it no longer has the option to launch the process at boot. So I add their manual-update app to my login items, just as a reminder, and then I go into its prefs, where I can click to start the "daemon," and then quit the app.)
I've tested it on Leopard in the past, for hosting games. Have not tested with EyeTV and Snow Leopard.
No-ip does still require you to sign up, though. If EyeTV's system works for hosting games too, I might just switch to that! I always have EyeTV running so there would be no need for a background process.

I want to be able to work easily between Windows and Mac file systems easily, read, write and all that, between wireless networks anyway.
For this last, there is currently a simple solution called NTFS-3G; it allows read/write capabilities between your Mac and any NTFS file system.
I understand the vendor now charges for the product but the last free version is still available for download from various sites.

I think Apple would be smart to look at the new generation of Celerons for low-end systems.
The Celeron M 4XX series are basically a rebranded Core Solo with a 1 Megabyle L2 Cache. They're actually not bad performers. Certianly superior to the G4 chips they've been using in the iBooks, eMacs, and Mac Minis up until quite recently.
I've got a Toshiba Notebook with a Celeron M 420 and, with 1.5 Gigs of Ram, it runs the Beta of Windows Vista quite smoothly (ndeed, almost better than my Pentium D Desktop does - and far better than my Dual USB iBook 800 with 640 Megs of Ram has ever run Tiger).
Basically, something like:
Celeron M 420 (1.7 Ghz)
512 Megs of Ram (Single Chip, Please)
Radeon x200
60 Gig Hard Drive
Combo Drive
Could probably ship for $599-$699. No Front Row, no iSight.
Throw in another Gig of Ram off-the-shelf and you've got a system which will run quite nicely - and dual boot, of course. I'd buy one.
The same basic configuration could be put into a Mini for $450ish, I'd guess.

It's exactly what it needs to be. The market is not ready for a full on electric vehicle. Range, charge time, infrastructure, cost, etc is not where they need to be.
I agree the market isn't ready for a battery-only EV, but I disagree that the Volt is "what it needs to be". It's still a dual drivetrain vehicle, and I think that's the wrong approach.
Much better would be a small diesel engine to power a generator. Look at locomotives for the right way to do an extended range EV.

Yes I agree. What do you think the decline has been attributed to?
1: The Big Club. You know - the big corporations and the politicians they have in their pockets, lobbying to get more for themselves and less for everybody else. They do whatever they want because people are ignorant or they don' t care (see below). I'm talking about the bank managers who pay their executives million-dollar bonuses and get the politicians to cover the red numbers with the taxpayer's money.
2: The masses. They don't care about the Big Club because they are too busy watching cheap TV-entertainment while consuming their microwaved dinners - just a modern version of the classical "bread and circus".
Government expansion. Setting up entitlement programs on autopilot which grow 20% faster than inflation indefinitely.
At what point dis we decide that we NEED medicare, farm subsidies, and 50 weeks + of unemployment benefits? And who is naive enough to belief that the taxpayers can keep them afloat forever?
We won't crash because our businesses are too successful. We'll crash because our government is too getting big, inefficient, and we are becoming dependent on it

Ah yes, the old America-is-cheaper-than-the-world problem. You are right, the iPhone *can* cost more in some markets. I was talking about the American market.
And yes, more Android phones are sold than iPhones as long as you lump all the Android phones into one big bucket, including all those Asian knockoffs that are Android in name only.

As it still has a second socket, it must use Xeon 5000-series CPUs. The CPU in the 3797$ SP configuration costs 1663$ alone, whereas the CPU in 2499$ Mac Pro costs 294$.
The Dell CPU costs about $800.
Why is it so damn hard to get it that Mac Pro is overpriced compared to e.g. Dell's offerings?! :confused:
But it's a Dell. :eek:

Not even sure how much benefit the second core confers in an application like office anyway. What it means is that the top of the range mac now available runs the application as well as the same place/priced machine from 1 year ago, make of that what you will.
Here's my reckoning.
It's running an application that was never built to run on X86 processors at comparable speeds to the processors on which the program was built to run.
That's damned impressive if you ask me. Even before when it was slow it was still amazing to me, especially after the deathly slow experience that was Virtual PC on the Mac. Sure, it was emulating an entire OS but the decrease in speed was massive - a 2GHz G5 became a 733MHz PIII under Virtual PC...

I'm on UQ Wimax with an NEC A t e r m W M 3 5 0 0 R router. It's a POS really, I keep losing my wifi connection when I have my laptop AND my Android phone(s) connected. But it's so inconsistent, sometimes hours go by before I get an issue, sometimes it happens within minutes.
I only keep it cuz it's fairly stable with just my MBA connected, and because of the amazing 8 hours of battery.
This was plan with no contract, and flat fee for unlimited (actually really unlimited, this is Japan!) data. �4490/month. With contract is �500 cheaper or something, maybe �1000. Can't remember. Device itself was �5100, and activation was another �2-3000.
Patrix.
Thanks for the info, I need to find a good reasonable price on an iPad sim card (the AT&T international rates are a joke)!
We have a bunch of free wifi hot spots on the bases so my laptops are fine with those but the iOS devices don't play well with them and the ISP doens't really seem to care to want to fix that connectivity...

I think besides the too-short range, another issue that killed the EV-1 was the gigantic size of the battery pack, which really limited the interior space of the car.
However, with the arrival of modern lithium-ion batteries, they've drastically reduced the size of the battery pack so you can get vehicles like the Nissan Leaf, where you can actually seat four people and the vehicle size is quite reasonable.
Another big problem that plagues electric cars to this day is the very long charging times needed; I've read that a number of companies are working in improved Li-On battery designs and ultracapacitor batteries where the charge time at a commercial DC charger is--brace yourselves!--only five minutes. With that little charge time, even if the vehicle is limited to 100-120 mile range it becomes a viable option as a replacement for the internal combustion engine for urban driving.

If I went on a protest in Washington DC or London claiming Tibetan independence from China and that the Han Chinese should leave I would be cheered on, if I went on a protest claiming Kashmiri independence from India/Pakistan and saying that non-Kashmiris should leave I wouldn't be bothered. If I went on a protest saying that the Jews had to leave Israel and go back to Europe I'd be lynched.
If its outrageous to make the Jews leave Israel then its outrageous to make the Han Chinese leave Tibet and I don't think most Americans would agree that the two are equivalent.
Frankly I think that looks like there's a pro-Jewish bias in US culture - and I'm not even looking at the military aid etc. etc.

I don't think you do "get it". I side with the view that whether the victim could be reasonably expected to have acted differently in her own interests or not, has absolutely no bearing on the degree of guilt of the lunatic who drove at over 100 mph with his wife clinging to his car.
I'm not saying he isn't guilty in the legal sense, I'm just saying she's guilty of being a moron as much as he is.
Your opinion of her judgement is utterly irrelevant. As is yours since your view has as much influence on this situation as mine. Why you would point out the utterly obvious is a little confusing.

actually, you only need 2 channels for 3d sound (X, Y .... and Z!!!)

you must listen with headphones though
without headphones you need 3 channels minimum for 2d sound (X, Y)
