You mean do I respond to overblown media hysteria and people who don't really understand how cell phones work? No, not really.
Sorry but the antennagate is very real.
I went to my local Apple store the other day, and picked up an iPhone 4 and bridged the gap with my left hand. The bars dropped from full to 1.
Now you might say, "who holds their iPhone like that?" well, sometimes i actually do, i hold my iPhone 3G like that sometimes.
I understand that a few phones do the same thing, if i hold my iPhone 3G is an awkward position i can get it to drop bars as well. But the iPhone 4's weak spot is a very common way of holding a phone, that's where they went wrong.
It's pretty clear the iPhone 4 didn't have the media attention, and i believe Apple is keeping the iPhone 5 in secrecy so that they come out with a bang.

A bit OT, does the camera connector work with iPhone 4?
Yes, but you are limited to very low powered devices, I believe it is 10 ma or less, in effect only the SD adaptor works, to use the USB adapter you must add a self powered hub.....

Just found out that GeoHot, aka George Hotz, a jailbreaker is asking for donations. He is being sued by Sony for his PS3 jailbreaking efforts.
You can read everything here, and a paypal link if you wish to donate to his cause.

of course, taking them in to a photo shop is always an option, but for alot of photos, it becomes more cost-effective to buy your own scanner. Was just wondering which was considered to have especially good color fidelity.

Good idea in making this forum arn. Now general mac discussion won't be littered with "why should I switch" or things like that.

The only applications that might use this are military applications. Which are most likely classified applications. But in short, no, a normal application wouldn't use it. ;)

also I noticed in your signature you have a macbook pro for work... as well as home, isn't the point for any laptop/notebook portability lol :P

Hi all,
Just curious to see how many have a apple laptop and and Ipad. Work just bought me a MBP last week and I already have a Ipad 2. Just trying to justify the two, maybe I sell the ipad 2 because I have to keep the laptop. By the way, I love both of them...I use the Ipad 2 for reading books, magazines etc...
Thanks for the comments or thoughts...
I sold my iPad 2 and purchased the MacBook Pro. It's not about money, it had more to do with justification. I will forever miss some of the games on my iPad but that's about it. Netflix looks way better on my MacBook.

The Lightscribe burners aren't out yet but I definitely have my cash set aside for one. They look like such a neat idea.
On topic, the LaCie's are pretty much made for the Mac so I'd recommend them as an external burner. Plus, the cases look really cool.

You'd think they'd actually TEST IT before releasing to the public. I've used Navicat with great success (gotta love that scheduler; though it deletes everything else in cron), CocoaMySQL is good, too, though needs an update.
It's possible that their MySQL Administrator ONLY works with their version of MySQL for Mac OSX. I'm using the original from Mac OS X Server, though don't know what the differences would be.
Really, you'd think they'd test it first. Really.

1. This might be a stupid question, but does GarageBand allow me to compose music "from scratch"?
Kind of like asking "Does a piano allow you to compose music from scratch?" You can play anything you like in GB and record the notes and later look at them on a staff.
2. What's the difference between GarageBand and Logic Pro?
Apple has three products, GB, Logic Express, and Logic Pro.
All three use the same engiine but Logic exposes a much more complex user interface and also comes with many more software instruments.
Stay with garage band until you have some specific reason to upgrade to Logic. Logic will directly import your GB projects so you don't loose any work.
3. Do I need a keyboard or whatever in order to start composing on Mac?
You can used what Apple calls "musical typing" to play music on the computer "qwerty" keyboard. The asdf row acts like the white keys and the qwerty row like black keys. It is clumsy and slow but some people get good at it. Buy a "real" music keyboard and it will be much better. I think also you can mouse click on a picture of a music keyboard but that is just awful.
But you want to play drums. Why not get a MIDI Drum controller and play on a simulated rubber drum head. I know you can play drums on a keyboard but I'd bet it feels un-natural if you are a drummer
4. Currently I only have GarageBand (which comes bundled within iLife). I did a search on Google and apparently GarageBand Jam Pack 4 comes with percussion which includes taiko drums. I haven't been able to find any reviews or videos on this, so could anyone tell me how good it is?
Most of the instruments on jam pack are just "ok". Good enough for your own composing but not good enogh for profesional recording. But there are third party speccialized software instruments that work. Jam Packs are the best bang per buck because you get so many on the disc. but always there is something better.
This is one example of a 3rd party "plug-in" I think there are a few others. http://www.ninevoltaudio.com/products/taiko.html
Put use the jam pack first
EDIT: The link about says you need "Kontakt" (full version) to use it. That is getting expensive but if you need that quality then you need it.

Yes it is a dual 500gb drive system. Both are set up as single drives, not RAID. Never been cloned. Yes I am using snow leopard server that came unlimited with the machine.
This change in name came from the server software somehow. I was able with no issues change it back to the way it was using the server admin software and going in as remote user. No issues. It has since stayed in this setup as it had for over a year now. I double checked all the machines in the home and all the devices the kids come over with, ipads, iphones, laptops etc. and nothing is even close to the server names. I just don't have a clue as to why it would all of a sudden report that another machine with the same name was on the network and then allow it and change it's own name. It seems to me that it would have not allowed the other machine period until IT changed its name.

I have five things that could derail Apple:
1) Meteorite strikes 1 Infinite Loop. Steve Jobs is great and all, but let's face it. He's no Apache Chief. The laws of probability say it's just a matter of time until a meteorite crashes into Apple's Cupertino campus. We'll just have to see what happens then.
2) Alien contact brings new technology. Aliens-- we know they're out there. It's only a matter of time before the Government agrees to public disclosure. When that happens the market will be flooded with technology so advanced that nobody will be caught dead using Apple products. Why have an iPhone when you can have a ;3ant409aus.
3) Rick Santelli inspires a whole new anti-Apple political party. They'll takeover congress and the White House and shut Apple down.
4) Data shortage. All those ones and zeros, they come from somewhere. China and Russia is currently buying up much of the worlds resources of the foundation of our digital empire. Soon we may have to switch to twos and threes, but they're more expensive. People won't be able to afford Apple's products anymore.
5) Pack of Tyrannosaurs attack. Yes Apple security is a well-oiled machine, but could they hold their own against a tyrannosaurus rex? I don't think so.
Hire me CNBC! I can write great articles.

Well, at least yours is ... um ... musical.
Neither is exactly in my tastes, though I could imagine a dot-matrix "song" that might be interesting in the way trained seals playing bike horns is interesting.

Nothing stops them from trading with you as a free-lancer� and as far as HMRC is concerned as long as you pay your taxes�
Nonetheless, I've also encountered companies whose explicit policy is to only deal with other companies, not private individuals or sole traders.
It's a daft restriction, but it's also trivially easy to set up a limited company -- the small business advisor at your local bank will probably be able to help you with it if doing it yourself through Companies House seems a bit daunting. There are definite benefits over sole trader/self-employed, not least being the fact that no-one can come after your house in settlement of trade debts!
You should absolutely look into it more�
Cheers!
