Quick, think of .... accounting <no! tax cuts>... anything else... washing dishes <No! Knives>... Bowling <NO! Pins>.... ok, my LP collection <Aargh! turntable has a needle>
Ulp!
<covers mouth, runs broken-field pattern toward bathroom>
Ugh, that's exactly how I feel. Girls' ears=fine I guess (still not crazy about it). More than that, like a million in your ear, or huge wholes through your ear is pushing it too far. :( Yuck.

Because you were becoming irrationally exuberant - I thought that you needed some balance ;) .
I also wonder about this Intel diagram:
http://www.geekwithlaptop.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/intel-thunderbolt-3.jpg(click to enlarge)
If this applies to the Imac TBolt ports, then the two TBolt ports in fact share bandwidth from the single PCIe x4 connection. The combined max throughput of the two ports would be no better than that of a single TBolt port.
Another moot point, though, since no TBolt devices can be purchased.
Why would it be shared? There are 8 empty lanes so couldn't there be two x4 slots for TBs so both get their own?
TBH the 27" IMac is sounding very tempting with the double TB and SB
why on earth is the HDD not sata-3
i was planning on copping an IMac for my family home, as my parent and sisters love my MBP - but i really do not care if the IMac CPU is 10-15% faster, when the hdd only links to sata3 - as i would of put an owc ssd in!
Guess i will wait for a 2012 re-fresh when apple finally recognises sata-6
i hope, rather than giving us TB - which i love, but at this point in time is a little redundant as there is no TB equipped peripherals available - hopefully a next gen apple cinema display with OLED and TB would also get my cash!
You can get Thunderbolt SSD once the enclosures start to arrive in a month or two.

My point exactly. Square institutions like Princeton and Yale are well known for, well, being square. It's no surprise a distinct minority of students there are Mac users (even if some of the rest are switcheurs). Take a walk around an Ivy League school with a student population in command of a more comprehensive understanding of aesthetics--Harvard, Brown, or especially Columbia with its boho-beat appeal--and you can't help but notice the difference. Students at these schools, unlike those at Princeton, are natural-born Mac users.
That, in short, is why it's wrong to paint all Ivy Leaguers with the same broad brush. You're not a bigot, are you?
I'm surprised you had so much time to attend every Ivy university in your 4 years as an undergrad, that's impressive. I guess you also know the ins and outs of every club, group, team, dorm, and department at Princeton as well. That really is impressive, I didn't get close to that in my 4 years there in engineering.
Having attended an institution that is so impressive (harvard, columbia??), as you undoubtably have, you should have been able to pick up on the fact that the 45% was not the university wide "market share" of Apple. It only refers to this years sales by OIT. Sure that's been on the rise, but many students purchase computers outside of OIT, as they prefer more custimization. OIT is a great part of the University btw, and they are very platform nuetral (I worked there for 2-3 years).
Anyways, I hope "mac users" such as yourself are on the decline. I'd prefer to see stuck up, snotty, bigoted, prejudice @$$holes such as yourself be drowned out by the masses of "Switcheurs" as you call them. At least they enjoy their macs instead of putting down people for their choice of University or their lack of "purity" as a mac user.

I am just curious as to how the roadmap for future iteration of iPhone will go.
If iPhone 5 is late-September early-October, does it mean iPhone 6 will be the same time in 2012, or skip to Summer 2013?

Me too. Yeah that Psych Pilot was originally tranmitted in HD 16 x 9. So I was shocked to find when I opened it that it is in 4x3. An excellent looking encode. But the completely and lamely wrong aspect ratio. Really shocked me to find nobody caught that on the way in. Looks like the encoders never watch TV.
I downloaded the Pilot as well. Very impressive. I blew video up to the size of my screen (almost "full screen" mode) and it still looked great!

I'm going to MacWorld. I bought a user pass a few weeks ago. Dad followed suit since I've been home from school (30 mins from SF). So he got us tickets for 1 night at the Marriott down the street from Moscone! Paid BIG bucks for the hotel room thought...I felt kinda bad...
Oh well...Stevenote alone should be worth the sacrifice. I'm really exicited..

If you do this, make sure you use very, very, very reliable fans! The fans fail, and this system is toast. Literally!
Nice thing is, this all fits in 4U, so it's cheap colo.
Thats pretty cool, but you'd probably be better off with an off-the-shelf case for this project. Fans, that is an area where you will see a difference in the quality of case design. If you look at mid-high range rackmount equipment you'll see they often have rows of fans two deep for redundancy, if one fan fails there is another one right behind it; and the ducting is designed to provide sufficient and even airflow over all critical components. Like jtara says if a fan goes and you don't catch it, components can heat up and excessive heat is a killer.
If you go the Linux route, you'd be wise to run smartd to monitor hard drive temperatures and email/sms you if the temp hits an upper limit.
You should also choose a chassis with good airflow design (ie: ducting such that the air blows evenly over the drives, and also covers the other components appropriately). Too low of temp is just as bad as too high of temp for drives, a poor chassis design will result in some drives being too warm and some being too cool. Check out Googles study for details on this, it's a must read for anyone interested in DIY RAID.
You can also look into fan speed controllers, to keep airflow from being excessive, some are thermostat regulated. This is the type of thing that is built into a high quality rackmount system, one of the reasons they are so expensive.

As opposed to TV, which have a....fake 3D effect on a 2D screen?
as in they were designed for 3D, whereas this app is a nice way of getting around it

Runs smoothly at low settings on my iMac that barely meets the minimum specs, so I am very happy about that.
Played some Co Op with a PC-owning friend and had a real blast - such a fun and funny game.
And it is so exciting to see a same day release of a major game for both PC and Mac. Nice one Valve!
P.S. Comparing Portal 1 and 2 isn't really fair. Portal 2 is so much bigger and better than it's predecessor that comparing the two is like a trailer to a full movie.

Hi Guys,
I wanted to get your opinions on something.
Recently, Apple added a whole bunch of free online seminars on it's seminars page (you can get there from the Hot News page).
In a number of the seminar descriptions, they speak about the "awesome power" of the "Power Mac G5 Quad" (which is true), and they keep calling it "new" on more than one occasion (it's close to a year old now).
This is interested to me since there's speculation that the "Mac Pro" will be unveiled at the WWDC (hoping). The release of these seminars, and the fact that they promote the quad and call it "new", means that:
a) They're desperately trying to sell as many of these machines as possible because they haven't sold enough of them and before their Intel counterparts are released, and/or,
b) The new "Mac Pro" quad will not be coming out until the year end - perhaps only a mid-range "Mac Pro" will be unveiled @ the WWDC.
What do you guys think?
Regards,
Filmguy
Those seminars come up periodically. I think they're just on an automatic reload when it comes to the right time.
Apple won't give anything away before an event, especially not days before. The best leaks come a few hours before the event kicks off.

Sales are determined by model number. Inventory control is calculated by part number.
Keep trying, though. I'm quite amused.
Actually, if you want to peruse "Press Releases" and cite them as definitive, that's your choice. It just reeks of amateurism and would get you laughed out of any meeting that I attend.

Hmmm, I'm not seeing any improvement in ppd even though the gtx 480 is humming right along. Foldingmon indicates it is doing about 14k ppd so I should see some difference, I will have to triple check to make sure I'm listed a the donor and not anonymous, hate to be loosing that many points :eek:
yeah i would double check. you never know. are you running the console client? or the system tray one?

Increased marketshare is good, up to a point. Also, if world marketshare is staying the same, but the US is increasing, somewhere in the world apple is becoming less popular.
There is zero logic to that assertion. It sounds like it came from Fox News.

About 18 months ago, I switched to Mac mainly because of visits to the retail Apple store as well as the online one. I guess I was just persuaded. I was upset with Windows because of everything about it (it wouldn't let me update at all, I get an error message every 5 minutes, takes 5 minutes to start up and 30 seconds to open an application, some apps stop working). After I did switch I felt ecstatic. Truthfully, they just work.
I'm not a developer or an advanced Mac user, but there are a few smudges in Mac OS X that needed to be cleaned. Just a few minor details.
Grid stacks need smaller icons or at least adjustable. When fanning out they seem a little choppy (slow frame rate).
With the smaller and smaller screens like the 11 inch mba, the right side of the menu bar should be changed to allow more icons to be visible without eliminating them. idk how though.
I never use dashboard. I think because it's just not easy to use. For example, the calculator on dashboard has way less features then the calculator app. The translator widget doesn't work the same as google translate. Dictionary widget isn't as good as dictionary app. The clock is useless. So change the dashboard some how.
I've heard complaints about spotlight. I guess that could use a refresh.
I've had troubles with subscripts and superscripts. Is it possible to get a simple keyboard shortcut to get any character as a sub/superscript when typing into anything. I understand there is this for iWork but I want this available in any app.
I want to be able to work easily between Windows and Mac file systems easily, read, write and all that, between wireless networks anyway.
