Love About.....MENDAL2

PS2, not PSP... and wouldnt a mini PS2 have the same size cds so that all the games that have been released to date are compatible. Although, with my experience, burnt media will usually not play in playstations, burnt cds are simply a no go, and burnt dvds are a toss up.

If you want to listen to MP3s CD or DVDs, just get a cheap dvd player, you can even get DivX DVD players, my friend got a no namer for $100 CDN... and I got a Yahama DivX DVD player for $200 CDN...

Actually, i have been able to play burnt audio cds in my ps2 (I think it is a v4). I was also able to install a media player onto my memeroy card so i can play cds with divx movies and mp3 files on my ps2, but not cds burnt with my PB. Nero created cds work fine.

*Note: what I did does not require a mod chip, but does require alot of patiece to get the cds write.

You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 1.5 GB on later 12" PBs and 1.25 GB on earlier ones, using a 1 GB PC2700 RAM stick.

The hard drive can also be upgraded to (I think) any capacity IDE/P-ATA 2.5" laptop drive.

I don't know of any processor upgrades; you might check Sonnet's website to see if they have any.

Also, video editing and encoding on a G4 is not quite what I'd call "less intensive" use--it can do it, but it'll be slow.

And depending on the processor, Leopard will be OK--the faster the CPU, the better. Leopard on a 867 MHz G4 12" could be painful, though . . .

Are we talking Aluminium or Titanium here?Aluminum. And I got it last May, so its whatever Revision that is.

thanks. I'm looking into this. If it happens again with a different domain, please let me know.

Is a powermac g4 a good mac starter computer?

I think so, however, it depends on what you're using it for.

I wonder if there's a "law" (aka rule of thumb) that defines how far ahead "cutting edge" supercomputer processing speeds are, versus "typical" consumer systems and mobile devices. In other words, is today's fastest supercomputer 10,000X as fast as a current iMac, which in turn is 100X as fast as a typical iPhone. I think it would be very interesting to chart that graph historically -- to see that today's iPhone is perhaps twice as fast as the first CRAY-1, and roughly equivalent to a PowerMac G3. :apple:

17 form factor is killer. People always tell me it is to big....Cool don't get one. I used it easily for travel to Europe and on the road. No problem. The new one with better graphics card and 30% faste CPU thne mine is looking pretty desirable...Might hold out for dual core on the 12th of never.LOL

I Have not installed the last update yet, but, if battery life were to improve as much as people say with every update, people would only have to charge their iPhones once a month... :rolleyes:

Glad to see they are making improvements finally. I don't think that Mobile Me is worth the fee now that the "Find My iPhone" feature is free. :apple:

I did a test when I got the speakers.
I played a cd direct over the speakers with no EQ. I got distortion at the highest volumes.
Most of my ripped music is at 128kbps AAC and some at 160kbps, and the distortion is much the same at high vol.

But mostly what they are designed for is use around their 'medium' volume. I just wanted to see how loud they went and if they couldn't handle it. I am very happy all the same and usually I play stuff quietly when I'm working. I just wanted to give a fuller perpective to VINESWINGMAN, to insure the group a little in case he says "these speakers say 8W each on the box and in my opinion they can't handle this"

Have one what? A MacBook? or a bag? Well yea I could definitely recommend both :)

For the MacBook, what are you planning on doing with it? If you are doing things like watching videos, word processing, maybe a little picture editing (nothing serious) and web browsing, then any MacBook will get the job done.

The MacBook Airs are the smallest and lightest and the lowest spec'd overall, however they do have SSD drives (which I'm sure you can get in certain models of other Macs) but they fare pretty well with average day to day activities.

Since you dont' really have a computer at all though, I would suggest a macbook pro; they all have great specs and whatnot, and the reason that I didn't suggest a macbook is because an update to the line should be coming around the corner any time now.

For a laptop bag? Incase has some pretty good ones.... I like that overall look that they have; if you're into video games and know what MLG (Major League Gaming) is, Astro Gaming has a couple that are great quality; going to get one from them at the start of the summer.

You are so humorous. Of course what i want is a netbook not a bag.:p
I want to buy one online as I think it would be cheaper. What is your opinion?

Last week, my airport express went from awesome (~80% signal strength to my iMac, great speed) to sucktacular (~5% signal strength, terrible speed, when it worked at all). An investigation revealed that a visitor had unplugged the airport, and had stuck it in a power bar between two brick power adaptors (one for the cable modem, and the other for the charging station for some wireless headphones). Obviously, the interference and shielding from those two angry spools of copper were causing the problem - a quick relocate to the original outlet restored my signal to its earlier levels. Dunno if you have the same problem, but if you do, its a quick fix :)

Well it would be intresting to see what others say but

Grunt in perhaps , Dual CPU, lower speed

against

One CPU higher Speed

I wonder if they are going to start selling junk. As someone who posts there, I notice that there seem to be lots of teens on the site that seems to be the type that like (and can afford) to buy things w/logos on them. Offering "Spymac" branded stuff (at outrageous prices, I'm sure) probably wouldn't be a half bad idea...

Really? I think they're great. I've had much better service with them compared to the Apple stores, hands down.

Maybe I just had a bad experience...

Now, once iPhoto has opened/launched, will it operate any faster or smoother if iPhoto is installed on a ssd vs. if it was on a hdd?

Probably not. If your iPhoto library is anything like my iPhoto library -- it would eat up 1/2 of a 256 gig SSD. Same with my iTunes library. And my movies folder.

So your iPhoto library will have to be on the platter drive.

Same people who talk about their "tons of Aperture work with RAW files" -- well those files wont be fitting on a 256 gig SSD.

iFixitdirect looks like they have a quality swap kit, includes everything the white iPhone has. They even mention oem quality parts and no problems with the prox sensor.


buddy's from them had prox sensor issues.

Good morning everyone,
Looks like it is going to be a wet day for queuing.

I'm heading into Tokyo in a few hours, I'll try and keep you posted as to the line at Ginza.
:)

you can't do an upgrade install coming from Tiger.
Yes you can.

We should all post pictures of ourselves so that when we respond to posts people can picture us in their heads. Ill post mine as soon as I'm out of class in an hour! Can't attach files from my iPad since their is no damn filesystem. :)

try the knife or scissor tool and cut the selection you would like.

Those tools are in the submenu with the eraser tool. I always have a hard time finding them!

How long does it take for them to remove them? They're still coming up more than a week later, and I'm tempted to install an ad blocker (though I won't).

Theoretically they should have been removed today. If they are still coming up for you, please post here.

sorry for the trouble,
arn

+1 for the O2 store

What time you heading there for? You think there will be many others?

Thanks Captain Obvious. I was just being sarcastic.

Next time use a smile to indicate sarcasm. You can't tell sarcasm reading from words and I have seen some post like this before and was serious.
