personally I would use that $40 to buy a small bluetooth dongle.... and few cups of starbucks.
This has crossed my mind. I wonder if I'm OCD, though. The thought of that cable being detached, or not having functionality native to the Mini, drives me bonkers. I haven't ruled out a dongle, though.

Maybe you don't know so much about color management.
Ever heard about 8-bit bottleneck?
DVI could use 16-bit colordepth (lsb on second link), but nobody uses that and there's not enough bandwidth with 2500x1600 resolution.
Displayport (or hdmi1.3) solves that problem without having expensive hardware LUTs in monitors (that ACDs currently does not have).
Oh really? Care to enlighten me then grand wizard. You show me sources that broadcast in the deep color realm (30,36,48-bit color depths), and THEN you show me the displays that support that color depth. Why do you think there is such a big argument amongst displays/component manufacturers on the merits of HDMI 1.3. If Anthem, the maker of my $6500 Statement D2 video processor, didn't feel it was necessary to add 1.3 support, then I think that's a pretty good indication of the progress of deep color support. HDMI is the same exact thing in terms of video transport as DVI - smaller connector, with a different pin mapping.

8-bit(24bit) is plenty, for a long time.
...and besides, this discussion was about DisplayPort and it's usefulness, when we already have HDMI. Maybe you don't know so much about topic discussion.

hey 100Teraflops glad your getting some good advice, the good monitor is a must for photography, check the dell 2209wa (i think it's still about) or the HP 2310i, both nice monitors, but the internal raid i have is a software raid 1 mirror, works well for my needs. Are you really sure you want to wait for the 'latest' Mac Pro? do you need the latest chipset? there are plenty of great deals on used machines, ideal for photography, save the $$$ on the MP and spend the rest on some quality Lenses, I know a photographer that uses a G5 with no problems :)
remember as firestater states, raid is no back up plan, I use a raid 1 external system as it suits my needs.
Buying an older machine has crossed my mind. I will checkout the monitors, as I am not very picky, at least not yet. Thanks for clarifying your RAID 1 setup, as I am finally grasping the concept of RAID let alone when combined with the Mac Pro.
Also, I have not thought about a used Mac Pro from e-bay etc.., as an Apple refurb is nice, because I have a piece of mind with the warranty and I want to buy one-to-one in order to receive 'accredited' instruction pertaining to OS X, iLife, and all the included goodies. But you are right, I can save a lot of money and buy a camera, some glass, a case, and extra memroy cards on top of a Mac Pro. Food for thought!
I have to contact Apple regarding one-to-one, because I need to know if I can add it after my purchase. I know the web-site says something similar to this: "...with the purchase of a new machine...," but Apple reps have been known to bend the rules. ;) I want a 6 core or 8 core, but I am still thinking that a quad core will suffice for my editing, photography, and software needs. The difference between the aforementioned machines is measured by seconds, for the most part. Did I just talk myself out of a 6 or 8 core? :) Ultimately, I have to decide before Thunderbolt is replaced by Lightningbolt! LOL

My 3GS is still like new, and I'll keep it until it starts sucking. I'm on 3.1.2 jailbreak, so I have all the features I like and want. I also am one of those people that doesn't recharge until it dies completely, so the battery still lasts two days at a time, unless they update Angry Birds. Then it dies pretty quick while I 3-star everything. (:

So, recently moved to a 2011 Unibody MBP from a 2007 Santa Rosa MBP. More significantly, moved from a single-button trackpad to a no-button trackpad.
I am having some difficulties with drag and drop over on Windows 7. There don't seem to be such issues on the OSX side.
Namely, drag and drop is really difficult since I need to press the trackpad and drag. I would usually just hold the button and drag - and on the OSX side, I seem to be able to press and hold one finger and drag with the other.
Not working on the Windows 7 side.
I tried the drag lock option under BootCamp settings, but it is terribly cumbersome to use.
Any thoughts?

Yuck doing multi-touch gestures on a crappy plastic trackpad... The experience won't even come close to the glass MBP trackpad ;)
not exactly new. They have been doing the multi touch track pad for years now and now you think they re ripping off macs.....

Hells to the yeah. Only in AAPL since around 330, from around January, but a profit of well over the price of a fully loaded Mac Book Pro makes me one happy person :D :D Only wish I could have gotten in sooner. I know people who are practically wiping their bums with 100 dollar bills thanks to apple stock.
Now for the earnings party :apple: Free apple martinis on me:cool:
What I want to know is who are the 3 idiots who disliked this topic :eek:
Apple to 1000 per share. Lets go!!

I currently have a iMac, a Time Capsule and an Airport express that I have used to extend my wireless signal. I has been working perfectly for about 6 months. Now it has stopped working. The Time Capsule will not recognize my ethernet connection and is flashing yellow. I know my ethernet is working because my kids computer can get on the internet fine. But I can't get on the internet from my iMac. I have tried resetting the modem, unplugging, soft reset of TC as well as hard reset and no help. How can I get the TC to recognize it is connected to the ethernet? It may be simple but I am computer challenged. Any help would be appreciated.

In my experience I just want one source that will familiarize myself with a particular API, just to let me know what's available and the common classes and uses. Then from there it's just a matter of reading the documentation to work with the specific uses I have in mind. For objective-C it was the first few chapters of Hillegass, then for iOS it was the Stanford Courses on iTunes U, and for cocos2d it was this book.
The thing with programming books is that they become outdated pretty quickly, so the documentation is going to be a better place to find information. What I do find useful about programming books is to point me in the right direction to get started. For example with cocos2d I learned the basic building blocks CCNode, CCScene, CCLayer, CCSprite, CCDirector. Then once I knew those classes existed, I knew where to look in the documentation to write my own code.

Well it's �29 online so I'm taking this back tomorrow and re-ordering it online.
Whats absolutely great is I get to play this for hours and scratch it down to "research". I mean these graphics are absolutely inspiring. And the co-op is second only to Streets of Rage 2, which really needs the VC treatment.

Nice clean design. Pretty much what the others have said already.
In the main top navigation bar, assuming those are all the links, I would center them in the bar. Doesn't look right to me having them left justified.

It all depends what you�re looking to do with it. For simple anonymous browsing, some providers offer this for as little as $5/month, or even for free. But if you want a total Internet traffic anonymizing experience, a premium VPN account is a better way to go - there�s no IP numbers to configure into the webapps, and no software to install - just set up the VPN and it�s done! Other VPN selling points include:

Looking really good! Things are shaping up nicely and I like the idea of separtating the 'rumors' threads, makes more sense. I know there had been talk about a game catagory, did that not make the cut? I think it would be a huge boost to the site.

Speaking for arn, yes, we absolutely want to be notified if things aren't working for you. The best thing you can do is continue to provide screenshots of the page - a picture is worth a thousand words. ;)
I just checked IE 5.0 in OS 9 and I didn't see what you described, only the tab issue you already alerted us about. IE 5.1.7 has the tabs right and it shows the left and right columns.

i'd love to know what sentence he wrote with the word "mutter".
and what sentence would make a guy go berserk with a word "nutter" in it.
i can imagine, the sentence would not make a lot of sense.

It is real easy, the sidewalk along the road behind the Apple Store (west side of the Gateway) you can stay there all night. I have for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 and iPad. I always bring a chair and food and stuff and a extension cord for power. Sometimes people bring a projector for movies on the wall but I don't know if they are coming in the night again.
It is actually quite fun. I have nothing wrong with staying the night.
I would love to do that, but I have to work tomorrow :( Maybe i ll just stop by and chill, i dont know.
Disclaimer: im hearing impaired haha.
