Yes, how did you work that out? I've been in Australia for months and I've pleaded with Rogers to unlock my phone while I'm here. They refuse to do it unless I pay $400 to end my contract and another $100 for the unlock. I've been using Rogers for over 8 years and they still won't help me out.
Never again will I use another Rogers service after this whole fiasco. They are a bunch of jerks.
They seem to be better than AT&T here in USA, :p, at least you have the option of an official unlock.

If I were an MS shareholder, I would be OUTRAGED.
How much did they pay for that? To be fair, I don't recall if MS bought just VPC or all of Connectix, but it hardly matters!
That's got to be a giant pile of shareholder wealth pissed away in a half-assed attempt at being part of (read: smothering) the increasing popularity and utility of Apple.
I would really love to see the numbers on that boondogle.
:rolleyes:
Additionally:
Yes, Parallels and VMware are better products, but that is not the point. Has no one else noticed the number of products Microsoft is canceling for the Mac. I do not believe that Microsoft sees a market for the Macintosh. This of course is purely a business perspective.
I for one think Apple will be taught a lesson in respect. The only logical solution is to kill off Mac Office universal binary support. If they want to run on the Intel platform, they can run on emulation.
It would not be much of a loss if Microsoft decided to pull the plug. Don't think they haven't taught about it. A three percent market share or 19 million desktop users does not even come close to the numbers that still use Windows 2000, never mind Windows 98. I of course don't wish this to happen, but it is one logical outcome.
I actually think that MS will eventually be taught the lesson. Unfortunately for MS, federal antitrust law states that you can't use your power in one market to gain power in a different market.
At first glance to me, killing Office for Mac is probably a violation, since I think that the operation is, in itself, profitable. After all, the "at cost" price for Mac Office that MS charges its employees (yes, they can buy it!) is $50.

I am happy I got ubuntu Linux running under Parallels. It almost emulates the Lab version except for FPC not working correctly for compiling. But terminal works great using GPC. I should be starting on this tonight, with my Top Down Design.

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.

I like my desktop like I like my desk top - clean. I use Quicksilver and Spotlight religiously. Hotkeys are beautiful.
Menubar Applications:
- Quicksilver for application launching
- Dropbox for file project sharing
- iMOnTime for assignment and project reminders
- Caffeine to keep my screen awake
- Shion for controlling the lights in my room
- Facebook Notifications for...Facebook...notifications
- Screensharing Monitor (turned on temporarily, forgot to turn off)

Microsoft has to worry about bigger things than getting their OS to run on macs, how about getting their OS to run on a PC (IE: Vista).
Microsoft was late to the plate and I wouldn't be suprised if they just bought out a company to get back in the competition.

You are basically moving the bandwidth requirements to another server. It depends on what the second host allows.
That sounds promising.
My plan is to host the files from my Dropbox, giving me a good 2GB of space from the 40MB I think I have now. I'm not sure how bandwidth works with Dropbox since it's not a web host. I assume it will work fine, otherwise I'll just have to cough up some money :(

So i just got done taking the second hard drive out of my eMac (Traded out and Optical Drive for a HDD for Time Machine some months ago). Well, i remember that "some months ago" i accidentally ripped the out shell off with no regards to the power switch and it still works, though its less sensitive now, or the time (wait, actually same time) when i kinda "broke" the video connector plastic casing that goes from the CRT Board to the Logic Board, a little of some crazy glue or whathaveyou and i managed to fix my way out of that one too. Combine these experiences with that of my first, err second gen iMac G3 (Same bondi blue, yet no infer red sensor) I even tried to over clock it with my late father's help to no avail, but we were able to undo the over clock and that Mac too is still working. But the real reason for all this is to reminisce on how reliable these older Machines are. Currently, my eMac has made it's way to my Mother's desk as i work on her compaq craptop. Today when i took it apart to remove the time machine drive, after reassembly it wouldn't start. Now usually i'd freak out but after learning all the above, and even some more undocumented instances where i messed up, i learned you need patience. These Mac's just don't seem to Quit working. I've had it to where my iMac wouldn't start, and i changed outlets, and even power cords which solved these issues. Thats why these little guys can be temperamental! Jwhathaveyouust today i had to disassemble, make sure a couple things were fastened (Which i basically just unplugged afew wires and replugged em' in) and then reassemble my eMac. I know I can't be the only one - so feel free to share your story! I love these older machines, they're the most reliable even compared to my new pc (I've had more problems with my new pc than my 5 year old mac) and although they can be temperamental, they never seem to quit.

Hi, I run Snow Leopard natively on my MBP, and have installed Windows 7 on bootcamp.
So, i boot into Win7 and i can read files on my Mac partition but i cant edit/ write to them.
I was wondering if there was any way to edit/write files on Mac partition while being in Win7 partition.
I've done my search and found MacDrive to be an option, but it costs a lot where i'm from. Are there any free alternatives?
Thanks :)

Yesterday I ordered my first MAC: MBP.
So im asking myself, if there will be maybe a "cheap" update solution to Leopard.
Some1?
When I bought my last Mac laptop (an iBook G3), I bought it just before Panther came out (about 2 months before). Apple sent me Panther in the mail for free, without me even asking. Mind you, that was in Australia, and I don't know if the policy has changed.

I'd like the ability to remove one of the voice at a point in time.
iMovie doesn't show the audio as separate tracks, so you can't do it.

This is good but they need to be better about how they treat the developers. The also need to figure out how to better organize the app store. They should have a wishlist and reccomendations.
They already have both of those.

I would say they store them for a month at least. Text messages and call histories are a big part of forensics nowadays. Last week I saw a program about tricky murders in Finland (one case per episode) and SMSs were a crucial part of the investigation. From the SMSs, the police found out that a guy owned several grands to the victim and in the end, that was the motive of the murder.
I don't know if the laws are different there but storing the SMSs can actually be a good thing.

Hi Macrumors,
I was wondering if it would be possible to make an "Alternate OS" thread for the tons of Android/Windows/whatever threads that pop up. Its annoying to come to mac rumors and find more Android threads then anything in the iPad section. A lot of these are nothing more than troll threads with masks on.
By creating an Alternate OS thread if people wanted to yap about Android/Windows/Etc they could go there and keep the other threads clear.

Wow, somebody knows Pete Rocks "TROY" on this forum?
Im in shock lol.
Very disappointed that Apple took Kanye off the webcast though. It was THEM who invited him to perform, and they must have known that most of his songs have some swear words in them. I think the Kanye tie up was just right though - I thought Apple was a company that liked to be bold? The old rock/pop star **** (U2, Madonna etc) is tired and bland. Kanye is now. He is far from my favourite Hiphop artist, but dude is doing what Hiphop used to do - put blacks on the political map. As much as people may shun that idea, he HAS got people talking about what is a very real issue to those in the black community - that the Government doesnt give a **** about them. If action is taken on it at any level, then Kanyes purpose was justified.

I can't say I'm not surprised, but I'm glad we have other options (that run well) at this time. I just hope this doesn't carry over to Microsoft Office (which has a separate Mac team from Vista I understand)

No, it wouldn't. People don't bother to post relevant replies in the proper "mega threads" in the first place (take a look at the daily "Just got my MBP" threads as an example). Plus, Android/Windows/whatever threads are often on different enough topics that merging them would cause accusations of stifling discussion of alternative OSs.
