it's great for 'sketching'. a lot of pro musicians admit to using it as a recording studio on the go. but for serious production, its limitations become evident once you start mixing down your work. i'm not sure about GB 9, but I think GB tops out at (a mixdown aiff file) 24 bit /44khz audio.

How can you expect OSx to install applications to an Android phone?
If it works on windows then the installer is written for Windows and obviously isn't going to work on oOSx.

could be. but honestly i don't think that's a good thing. it just makes the equipment more expensive, clunky and less capable than dedicated devices. after all you don't need that feat all the time. only once in a while and then you bring the extra gps. cramming a gps in nowadays small P&S or even DSLR's is just expensive and complicated.
my two cents.
Every cell phone sold in the US has to have a working GPS device in it, and the GPS has to be "on" at all times.
Cost and power consumption are hardly issues. The only extra cost is adding an interface to the GPS unit to get the latest location data (which might be the front door of the building you're in if you're inside). The only extra power consumption is that needed to initiate and react to that poll, which is negligible (obviously).
But, yes, adding such a feature on a straight digicam or DSLR wouldn't necessarily make much sense. However, compared to the cost of an external GPS, which records "breadcrumbs" constantly (instead of just when you take a picture, because it doesn't know when you take a picture) and has enough memory and battery to hold said breadcrumbs throughout a, say, two-day road trip, integrating a low-power GPS into a camera doesn't sound all that far-fetched. But, I don't see camera makers doing that until GPS-locating of photos shows signs of taking off, which it doesn't, yet.

I don't know but, speaking of songs, did anyone else lose a bunch of album art in the upgrade to iTunes 7?
-Squire
I didn't lose any. You can force iTunes to get brand new album art for your entire collection. See this (http://theubergeeks.net/2006/09/13/new-album-art/)

Except of course for those who want to listen to music. Touch screen and features are rather useless to me in the car. And the iPod Touch is much too big, compared to my iPod nano.
Has anyone ever explained the meaning of "gross margin" to you?
Sorry.
However, their profit margin (not gross margin) is around 25%. Profit for 2010 was 14 billion, revenue was 65 billion. Operating income was 18.4 billion.

What a news story. Closest the "article" comes to a source is "supposedly".
Why would he release a jailbreak for 4.3 tomorrow when 4.3.1 is imminent? A vulnerability was found publicly at pwn2own that needs to be patched by Apple. Burning another vulnerability would be dumb. Sorry, just sayin'. It's not gonna be tomorrow.
As someone posted earlier, why would apple release 4.3.1 when the pwn2own exploit doesn't work on 4.3? Charlie miller said it himself that it doesnt work on 4.3 due to ASLR.

It's a better connection than using crimp connectors, and is how your expensive electronics are manufactured (all the components are soldered to the PCB). ;)
Soldering wire isn't as common as crimp connectors due to costs (more labor intensive to solder, as well as more expensive materials and equipment is used).
Either way will work, so it's up to you (soldered version isn't quite as messy IMO).
The one I linked was 0.5 meters. You cannot go over 1.0 meters in total cable length with SATA drives, so please keep that in mind (the signal voltage is weak, and anything longer causes stability problems).
Skip this one.
Thanks for all the invaluable advice. I am now pretty much ready to put the order in for all the parts and upgrade this thing to 2x X5690, 2x SSD, 4x 3TB in RAID5 ,1880 Areca controller and the MaxUpgrades kit. The mac is already here, some company went bust and I picked up a new, boxed 2010 8-core machine for 2.7k with apple care which is sure as heck cheaper and less burdensome than building one from scratch.
It's a damn shame about not being able to boot off more than one volume that is on the 1880 controller as I ultimately wanted to have 2x 240GB 6G mercury drives each with a different OS in pass through mode, now it looks like I will go for a slightly cheaper SATA2 SSD for the Win 7 install since it will be off the onboard controller.
I suppose I could still RAID0 2x 240GB 6G Mercury drives and use bootcamp to install on a 240GB partition dedicated to Windows 7, but this would be a riskier setup since I would loose access to both OS if the RAID0 played up. The Mac would not have trouble booting two OS off a partitioned RAID0 volume would it?
The mercury drives do sound reliable though, do you think a RAID0 with the 2x new 6G Mercury's is viable option? Or should I get those RAID edition Mercury drives, what makes them more suitable for RAID anywhere?

How does the MP3/M4A sound played in iTunes compared to played in Quicktime and opened in Audacity?
Well this is interesting. I opened all three (QuickTime, Audacity, and GarageBand) to compare the quality of one song. Now, all of a sudden, GarageBand plays the song normally without altering any sounds. You'll have to take my word on the fact that at one point it did convert the song and remove bass, which is strange, but it now works as it should! :D
Thank you for all your help, everyone!

Woke up. My radio was set to a talk show (was funny, now isn't) but it was just some lady saying "...and now we return to the channel 8 news broadcast." [Channel 8 and this radio station share a building] Which I thought was really odd, and I just heard a bunch of seemingly unrelated people saying the word "god" a lot.
Got ready for school, went downstairs. Turned on the T.V. which is something that I never do and still do not do. That day was different. As the T.V. came on the first thing I saw was the second plane hit. Mom told me (and rest of family) to keep getting ready for school, but she was sad. At school we had an assembly. In class the teachers tried to teach but not much really could be done. My 4th period teacher got the CNN.com live feed to work so the class just watched that. (There are projectors in the classrooms)
I can remember nearly everything in extreme detail. Odd how that happens with major events. Also interesting to see where other Mac users were at the time...

I know someone who has an original iPhone 2G 8GB still sealed and may be willing to sell it. How do I tell if it's a refurb? Or if it's an early or late production model? The box shows all the old original icons and does not show the App Store or iTunes Store on it as an app.
I am thinking about buying it to collect (and leave it sealed) but I want to make sure it's something worth having.
By looking at the serial number on the back of the box, how do I tell if it's a refurb? What country was it sold in? When was it made? What information can I get from it?
No, I do not have the serial number at this time.
