It doesn't even really look that great. You have to purchase an entire kit (hd, kb, mouse, DVD,...) just to run linux on there :(
A good point. By the time PS3 is out, it might even be cheaper (at least not much more expensive) to just buy a G5 mini ;) and set it to Fold 24/7. Just hate to think of that h/w sitting in my closet doing nothing...

MS seems to have lost out on a nice little market due to dragging their feet so long with VPC. That being said, I think it's great that we no loger have to rely on MS to keep Windows (and other os's) running on Macs.

Apple will release newly designed ACD's along with the newly designed Mac Pro, and since they just released a Mac Pro, I wouldn't think it would be released for maybe another 7 months to a year.
Don't hold your breath. The current ACD's are amazing.

If you're waiting for a jailbreak, why would you update? If you have done the SLIGHTEST bit of researching on this forum or any jailbreak forum, you would know NEVER to update until it is clear that a jailbreak exist for the firmware that you are updating to.
If the jailbreak doesn't support 4.3.1, you have NO ONE to blame but yourself.
Thanks!!!

The new minis share video duties with the ram so I could see them having problems pushing graphics too hard...

I have a iMac and use mobile me for my email. I am wondering if archiving my email will speed things up in the mail section or the mac overall. I have a ton of email that I keep in folders that are years old. I keep them for serial numbers for software I bought and so on. Then there are attachments to some emails such as family emails. I have about 10 GB in my mail folder under my library section under my user name. Should I consider archiving my email and how does that affect the email searching , say if I wanted to look up a email for a serial number? What are the steps on how to do it? Is there a article or can someone tell me how to do it?

Why not just buy the Mac version of AutoCAD?
I downloaded AutoCAD 2011 and can't install it because it said my macbook version is not supported.. I have Macbook 4.1 and AutoCAD 2011 for Mac system requirements is 5.1 or later.. Autodesk just release the Mac version last year..

hey i have a 3gs FW 4.3.1 BB 6.15. i'm not sure if its new bootrom or old bootrom but the serial num is 880270893NS.
everything is working but i want to restore to factory settings so do i need to restore with a custom firmware? is there a way to restore without having cydia on it? does anybody have a custom firmware that will work on my 3gs without installing cydia?
Thanks
Because you have the iPad baseband, you can't restore it to factory setting. Baseband can't be downgrade.

The iTunes Phone Driver is for current Motorola phones not for the iPhone, you can read about it in the software update when it's installed, it was in the Software Updates as of a week ago.

I have a friend with a similar machine where I think the graphics chip is getting flaky -- replacement logic boards are surprisingly expensive, though I found a couple places that will fix it mail-order for around $350 US. Apple might even fix it for around that price too. I'll be interested to see what you come up with.

Ah, I think this is the issue I'm having! I also want to jailbreak and unlock. Does anyone know where I'd find the iPad baseband files for a 3GS on 4.3.2 running 05.16.02? Thanks in advance!

I still can't believe you lot in the USA have gone for yet another incompatible-with-the-rest-of-the-world frequency for your 3G network meaning that anyone coming to the USA won't be able to use your 3G network and your 3G iPhones will be about as useful as a one legged dog outside the USA.
It's interesting that the T-Mobile guy thinks that the prime use for 3G in the USA will be email and other user generated content and not music though. Personally the last thing I want is content rich email on my mobile phone.
Considering that T-Mobile is part of Deutsche Telekomm I'm not sure why they're doing it that way. Sprint, on the other hand, is using CDMA, so it's broadly incompatible anyway.
While I've looked at the mobile video on my phone, without the ear buds, it's unpleasant and even with them, it's rather not so useful unless you're riding in the back seat of a car bored to death.

if i may piggyback onto this question, as i'm in the same boat currently.
given dante's comments about the color inaccuracies of non-ACD monitors (like the HP specifically), I'm wondering whether the built-in mon on the 17" hi-res is accurate?
i'm planning to upgrade out of both a 2.0 coreduo MBP and dual 2gig G5 PM into a single 17" 2.6/8 hi-res MBP and add a 30" monitor to that for home use. If the 17's internal monitor is respectably accurate for printwork, obviously I'll be able to save a few sheckels on the 30" by going HP (enclosure elegance be damned); on the other hand, if the 17 is not accurate it'll make more sense to spend the dough on an ACD.
your thoughts appreciated!

Hi Vic,
I have a 17" MBP (latest version, 17" 2.6ghz, 4gig ram, high res matte screen, etc) and can comment but first let me clear up your characterization of some of posts when you said "given dante's comments about the color inaccuracies of non-ACD monitors (like the HP specifically), "
Let me be specific, It is not that Non-ACD monitors in general are not color accurate, it's just that a few of the monitors mentioned within this post may be display a wider gamut of colors than SWOP (general characterization of Offset and Web Printing, usually CMYK ink) can actually print.
Some of these wide gamut displays do not calibrate well due to a complex process of color interpolation at the video card level, and some do. The HP LP3065 is one that does:
http://www.anandtech.com/displays/showdoc.aspx?i=2950
Just wanted to clear this up so as to not bash HP un-needlessly.
Now for the 17" MPB -- it is good, but not great.
First off a thing about the MBP's -- All their displays are 6bit, and not 8bit like the signal going from a Mac Pro to an ACD. Basically this means that the color range of a MBP is not the same as as that of an ACD or other monitor comparable to an ACD. To make up for the less colors, the drivers dither between the comparable colors.
This makes image edit a bit less accurate for sure.
As far as color accuracy, the Matte MBP's are pretty close to a SWOP gamut, especially in terms of brightness and the feel of "paper."
As far as a MBP being a substitute, I guess it really depends on the level of accuracy you need: photos and art for a newspaper are different beasts than photos headed towards fine art, etc.
I hope this helps a bit.

What would be the alternative? Put some Dr. Dre head phones in the box and have the iPod cost $80 more? To what end?
Very few people care about the quality of the headphones that come with iPods. For those that do, they can buy nice set of headphones and not worry about the 10 cent ones that Apple puts in the box.
If Apple put in a half decent set of headphones and increased the price by, say $20, the folks that want even better headphones would complain that they have to pay an extra $20 for headphones they'll never use.
This is exactly my point--here we are saying that tons of people would complain about paying an extra $20 for headphones that weren't total garbage, but we are also saying how great it is that Apple sticks 6 billion dollars in the bank for three months' work, free and clear. So which is it? You want to line the pockets of the richest of the rich further, or you don't want to pay the extra $20 for decent headphones?

I have taken the plunge and ordered my new BTO iMac.
Specs:-
3.4GHZ Quad core i7
4 GB Ram. I have ordered 16GB from OWC
2 TB Serial ATA Drive
AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2 GB GDDR5
Wired numeric keyboard
Magic mouse
Applecare protection
Due in a couple of weeks as it's a BTO. I can't wait for the beast to arrive.
I'll post unboxing and benchmarks videos A.S.A.P.
Cheers....

If the new mini gets sandy bridge it will be 50 percent faster then your machine at a minimum, more like 80 or 90 percent faster.
I was thinking of waiting then I looked at Apple's website and for what I use the Mini for, they have a 2010 Refurb with a 2.4 and 2 GB Ram for $599 witha new 1-year warranty. I am not a big fan of the intel integrated GPU and I am not sure they will offer anything more than an i3 and i5 so for this price, I am going for one. I have a 4GB Ram kit to toss in, and I have a great HDD and monitor, as well as external storage, so if I can not play COD on high res, I will just tune it down, I use it mostly as a media server anyway.
Thanks for everyone's input though.
