every time i read these threads i'm reminded why i don't have an iphone. Yeah, i have many other apple devices, including a 3g ipad, but no iphone. I refuse to be a slave to the man. I wish subsidized devices didn't exist in this country. It reduces competition by locking people into contracts and ultimately holds technology back. Yeah, more people can own the "coolest" phone, but imho the ends don't justify the means.

nice to see some action here, thankyou everybody!
my primary use is illustrator and photoshop and even thou
the graphire is 4 and the intous is 2 i'll go for the intous i think,
the intous is about 100$ and the graphire 150$ so it's a step up to the intous 3

Aquisition for Mac OS X is also a very stable, very efficient and easy to use P2P program. I use it to preview songs before I actually buy them on iTMS... ;) Good luck!
I ususally find that the 30 sec preview is enough for me to decide if I want it or not except for the songs where the preview is just the first 30 sec of the song where most of it is an intro and not a clip from the middle.

Hello. So what are people using to simultaneously record both a direct guitar signal plus an amp mic'ed?
I have a Duet, and I could probably do it w/ that alone although there would be latency issues. I thought about a simple A-B-Y splitter. They come fairly cheap but I am sceptical about noise & the signal.
Started looking into Radial DI boxes, does anyone have a recommendation?
Instead of dropping $200+ on a Radial unit (active) they also have passive ones for $99 or so. ART has a unit for $59 or so. Is a DI the best solution or is there something else?
I'm not interested in "re-amping" the signal after the fact so the 'high impedance box' isn't necessary. The Duet's 1/4" input is high impedance anyways if that makes a difference.
Here's a DI by Radial that was recommended for this type of recording:

So those of us that are still using 3gS's (that are on their last leg) should prolly go ahead and get a 4, and then wait for the 6...
Not so awesome news, I shoulda got a 4 a few months back then, oh well, maybe I'll wait to see what the white 4 looks like if its released on the 26th...

Hi everyone - being a newbie the following:
Just installed a bigger and faster new HD in the mini - is there any way to start the OS installation without a wired keybd? (i.e pressing 'c' ) all I get now is some DVD churning sounds and a grey screen telling me to restart the machine.
If there is no way - how would I go about ejecting the darned DVD out of the mini without taking everything apart?
hoping for some good answers.
If you have an unformated hard drive in there then the Mini should automatically boot from the DVD, no key press required. The Mini should look for any available bootable OS's on startup and lacking it's default, choose one.
Are you getting a Kernel Panic screen on boot? A gray screen telling you to restart your computer by pressing the power button in multiple languages? If so then something is amiss, because unless something has changed in the last few years, without a bootable OS the mini should just flash a circle with a line through it (no idea what the symbol is called, but like a No Smoking sign without a cigarette in it).
Are you trying to start up from the Restore DVD that came with the Mini or a retail Snow Leopard DVD?

Congrats on the iBook purchase, I had one a while back and their great machines for what they can do.
In regards to your queries, Flash 10.1 is the latest that can run on PowerPC machines :( and HTML5 is supported in TenFourFox as far as I know, by default. Did you download the appropriate TenFourFox build for your G4?
What specifications is the iBook G4? Is it running Tiger or Leopard?
What "jumpy" flash issues are you experiencing? I use it on my G5 and flash ad's can be abit iffy at times, though never exhibited any youtube issues.

I might be getting a powerbook or an Ibook for xmas and I was wondering if you still have to buy the airport extreme card as I've heard that they now come built in but just wanted to make sure.
I was also wondering if the powerbook came with the built in mic? As I know the ibook does.
Can anyone clear this up for me? thanx :D

Yes, perfectly normal. It saves SHSH for the most recent firmware, regardless of which firmware is installed on your device.
i thought it suppose to save my 4.3 shsh instead showing me 4.3.1 shsh? i have a 4.3 ipad2.

Ah, but being the devil's advocate - When you purchase something containing DRM you are at that moment agreeing to the terms of that DRM'd file. So when you purchase from iTunes you're saying (generalized), "yes, I agree to only use this media in this particular manner, period."
well spoken. If you don't like the terms of the sale, don't complete it. If you buy the music, you've agreed to those terms, like them or not. Sure, I can see that there might be some people who need/want more flexibilty, but perhaps iTunes music downloads just aren't a good match for them. If you see something in a store that you like but you don't think is a good deal, do you buy it anyways? You probably shouldn't if you're not happy with the terms of the sale... Same thing applies to music purchases from Apple.
Now, if Jon hasn't done anything illegal in this, then fine...no problem there. If he has, then Apple has every right to pursue legal action. Like it or not, the license restricts your use of the product, and Apple has well over a billion agreements to that license so far.

Well then in that light, when it comes to FPS or Platforming gaming, I'll stick to a dedicated handheld with buttons/joy stick. And based on the Engadget story I posted earlier, it seems a lot of other people will too. For a mind numbing good time, I whip out the old iphone for a game of Ball Roll DX
And I won't spend extra money on another handheld when I have the iphone and it does have enough games that entertain me (in depth games too though maybe not the latest and greatest).
I think you miss the problem here isn't that people will pick the iphone over the handheld for gaming. Of course if they are just picking a gaming device (and they don't already have an iphone or android), they are going to pick the one designed for gaming that the games they want are coming out for. But that people who might have picked up a handheld for gaming find that the iphone or android they already have is good enough for portable gaming (in some ways better. For example since it is my cellphone, my iphone is with me everywhere so gaming anywhere I want, which is the biggest point of a handheld, it is also smaller and I don't have to carry all the games with me, they're all on my iphone so they all go with me wherever I go. Yeah, there are trade offs, on some games the controls are not as good, but here is the thing. They are good enough, at least not bad enough that I feel I need to buy another handheld just to get the better controls).
And here is the bigger problem, smartphones attract enough business away like this and have less people using the actual handhelds, they also attract developers. You might find new games being made for the smartphones that people can't get for the other devices as there is more money in the smartphones... and in the end, the best gaming device is the one that has the games ;).
Nintendo and Sony need to prove that their devices are so good that it is worth buying them *as*well* as the smartphone the person already has. Nintendo is trying with 3D. Sony is trying to have console like games in a small portable device (I'll say I'm much more interested in Sony's offerings. But I've never been impressed with nintendo's game selection except when I was really young. I really do not get the Mario love here or why people think Mario is any better than Angry Birds, they're both (at least traditional mario scrollers and the racing games) cheesy time wasters that I wouldn't say have all that much depth).
Oh, and the iphone is good for more than just ball roll DX. RPGS do fine with a touch screen. Racing games are better with a touch screen than buttons honestly (more like using a steering wheel, as I said, even on a console I'd buy a special steering wheel over using a d-pad or even a joystick). Gameloft has done a decent job implementing virtual joysticks (not as good as a handheld but I'm certainly not going to buy a DS just to play the same game I can get on the iphone just for the controls).

Android is great for some people, IOS is great for others. I was a die hard w7 guy, always upgrading, cooking own roms, till I used the iPhone 2G.
User experience is unmatched on IOS, and all my android friends agree. They just like open-ness and 'you shouldnt have to jailbreak'.
You cant keeep throwing more and more processing power at something that doesnt work properly in the 1st place, hence why I'm with Apple stilll.
So I would disagree with your comment. I think Android have the best hardware and Apple by far the best software.
:cool:
If Apple allowed mods like themes, widgets, keyboard changes, etc, I'd agree. We're in this thread for a reason tho.

Hello there, thanks for the answer!
I wasn't clear about that but I do want to sell the mini, not just the license! I'll sell the whole package at once.
I guess it will be easier?

I think you should calibrate it straight away because otherwise your battery may get overcharged later, which can be quite harmful in terms of how long the battery will last in years. Remember that you can use your new toy during the entire process though, whether it's plugged in or not. :)
Merry Christmas. :)

What kind of TV? The better the resolution, the hard the Mini will have to work to power it, the the worse it will look.
Does the TV has HDMI, DVI, VGA, Component, Composite or S-Video inputs?(Or if your out side of the US, I know there are a few other inputs, I just don't know there names)
Edit- I now see its an HDTV...what kind of HD? 720p, 1080i or 1080p? I'd go with HDMI, DVI or VGA(in that order) if your TV has those inputs

Clearly you don't travel, it's not like we want these unlocks and bankrupt AT&T to go to tmobile, we use it to mostly travel and avoid roaming charges. It's bull that every other phone can be unlocked by AT&T but the iPhone. I'm not going to buy another phone, or use some crazy gevey sim, or wait months for a software unlock that will be broken once more. Moving to another country is just not an answer.

Oh, the video iPod is coming! :D
But I'd be dissappointed if the circular control of the original iPod is missing.
the click wheel would presumably be a "virtual" one that appears on the screen.

I don't think a touch bezel would preclude the use of a touch screen also.

I know the recording industry are a resistant and mercenary group of individuals, but how much $$$ would they want for just the lyrics, considering you have bought the song already?
That is right where it gets messy. The labels generally don't hold the rights to the lyrics, and the rights needed to get lyrics and sheet music aren't quite the same ones needed to use a song in a recording. :(
