reports are indicating that the remaining lineup of macs will be refreshed within the next couple months.
Not knowing when is that "next couple months" is very painful... :(
They better not, I just bought mine 3 days ago!
You should've read the buyer's guide page first.
This will be my first MAC too.
The macbook should be updating soon but I personally would rather develop on a macbook air rather than a macbook. Only problem depending on how much code you have to write is the small screen with the entry level macbook air.
The reason I would rather develop on a macbook air is simply because it runs mundane tasks at a much higher speed than the macbook. I would assume you are going to use xcode which does not take much cpu power but it does take a use a significant amount of Hard drive usage.
If you do get an air make sure to buy the 4GB of ram as it is not user upgradable.
I agree with the small screen.
Even though I'm always "on the go" but small screen will not be so convenient.
After re-thinking my decision I end up ordering a Macbook Pro instead, the cheapest I can get plus I'm eligible for Education discount since I'm a university student. :D

I used to have a Palm m500, my brother has a Zire 71, my dad has a Tungsten E, and none of us feel they were worth buying. Honestly, I'd just use a cell phone for mobile use. My Nokia N-Gage QD was free with a new plan in February, and it syncs with iCal and Address Book perfectly over Bluetooth using iSync. No drivers are needed, either: OS X automatically sends an iSync agent to the phone, it gets installed, and everything works perfectly. If I needed, I could install any number of Symbian OS applications on my phone and it would do just about everything a Palm could. Inputing new data on the go would be more painstaking, though.

iFixit.com carries them and ships to the UK. It also is cheaper than eBay which is rare for proprietary Apple parts.
However, given the obscene prices of Motherboards. It would likely be cheaper to buy a working 2006 Macbook, swap out the hard drive and RAM if needed and sell your current unit as is for parts only on eBay with a good description of the problem and pictures.
Heck it would most likely be cheaper to do the above and upgrade to a Lion compatible Late 2006 Core 2 Duo Macbook. Perhaps even move up to a Santa Rosa or Penryn Macbook. You'd be shocked as to what a defective Macbook will fetch on eBay.

It does seem as though people are putting so many guesses out there that one is bound to be right. I wouldn't be surprise to see a longer cycle this time as it must be getting harder each year to make big leaps in functionality rather than just refining and upgrading what is already there.

I played AC4 to death when it came out. Haven't touch any others for more than 10 minutes when a friend happens to have one. Not sure why...maybe I burned myself out. I will give this a shot if there is a demo so I can say I at least tried it.

I have a 5th gen iPod. I forgot to unplug it after it finished fully charging (30 more minutes to be exact), is that fine? no issues with the battery?
thanks!

HDMI isn't an issue for me as I watch movies on my TV and don't have time to get into video editing etc. ;)
I only have room for one display, and need something that will run Mac and consoles... currently settling for a 1366x768 HDTV :( would love to replace it with an ACD... component and HDMI would fix that...

I bought a new charger for this machine around a week ago and for some reason, the battery will not charge. I bought an aftermarket charger, entirely on the basis of costs due to my apple one dying after a good few years. The light on the button to open the lid of the laptop was shining for about 3 days, but has now turned off completely.
Whenever I try to charge the laptop with the new charger, the laptop makes a slight buzzing noise (It's quite hard to explain what it actually sounds like). Today when I inserted the charger, the laptop did emit the turn-on bong but then switched off about 3 seconds after wards.
If anyone has had a similar problem or knows of a cure, please reply below.
Thank You, Matt. :)
is it a genuine charger? I saw somewhere someone else did buy a non-genuine charger and voltage was not the same thus making lot of problems, check the DC-inboard.

i wanted one of those lifted bed/desk underneath things so bad when i was in first year :(. you're lucky.
ONE kid had one on our floor (had no sink, though). we used to go and build beer box forts underneath it and what not. man, i miss residence.

I don't think it hurts that much. Or maybe I've just grown used to it. People compare the sensation to snapping a rubberband against your skin. That seems about right.
Last year I had my doctor start blasting another nearby tattoo -- one much smaller that I never had covered up. That one has been lasered four times, and it is almost gone. You know what they say..."results may vary".

What about Tandy's Deskmate? I used this in the mid-80s on the 12MHz Tandy 1000 TL/2 running MS-DOS 3.3... I think we even had a mouse with it. :)

Personally I don't see the point of having a 24'' screen if the res is the same as the 23''. It's more about resolution than size for me. If they are the same I'd rather have the smaller one.

Hi, I've got a plist file with jpeg photo data in it. I need to get that photo out. I can read the plist file into an NSDictionary and can access the object at the key "jpegphoto". The problem is that the object returned is an NSCFArray that I have no idea how to work with. I can print it and I see a nice stream of octets come out, but that's all I know how to do. How do I get this NSCFArray into NSData or a byte array?
The CFArray when passed to NSLog like so
NSLog(@"%@", [data_dictionary objectForKey:@"jpegphoto"]);
Spits out hundreds of line similar to
5ed15ee6 df44b2ff 00899699 0dd23b58 dccdcadc 6c8d04e1 8b3e1940 af76953e 7c0e1b56
I know that it is a CFArray b/c I did
NSLog(@"%@", NSStringFromClass([[data_dictionary objectForKey:@"jpegphoto"] class]));
And got back
NSCFArray
Thanks

dXTC likes this too. If my budget would allow it, I'd get a MBP right now. Then again, if my budget was the size of Woz's, I'd already have a couple of them. (And a new iMac and a Mac Mini Server for my iTunes library and...) :)

I was at work ~2pm, at the time my brother was working for the same company and away on business. He called to ask if I was listening to the news as he was now stuck in chaos at Gatwick because of the attacks. I tried to get news form the web but it had ground to a halt and I had to go out and find a radio.
I remember saying to the guys at work that even if they never found the guy who did it (at that time it hadn't been linked to anyone and I'd only ever heard of Bin Laden from a chapter in an autobiography from a BBC reporter who's name escapes me right now) they'd have to go to war with somebody just to vent their anger.

thank you, I think I will wait...
As for the fan issue--when I watch a YouTube videos the fans go crazy, it's really the only time I use the Air that I ever hear the fans.
I know I'm not the only one who has this problem, as I've read on this forum about the issue but have not seen any fix for it yet.

so will there be a new one and what will be the changes... (dual, superdrive,...)
would like to know that
once again i hate to burst your bubble but you definately won't see dual G4 powerbooks for heat reasons and definately wont see a superdrive until they change the size of the powerbook or release a slim dvd burner, both of which would take at least a few months to develop. Paris Powerbooks would steal the glory from the new top of the line powermac. apple wouldnt do that, look for new powerbooks after new powermacs actually come out.
listen folks the theory of apple releasing new computer hardware at every macworld has to end especially at the Tokyo and Paris shows. look for jaguar demos with ical and isync, and maybe another digital hub software update. maybe maybe a new LCD monitor or price drops on their LCD prices.

Mainstream rap today is pretty pointless already. I mean, you could only make so many different variations of the dance club, jewelery and spinny rims. Even people who are portrayed to be above the norm (ie. Kanye) still have to rap about materialistic things. He's the self proclaimed "Louis Vuitton Don" :rolleyes: . It doesn't get any more ridiculous than that in my humble opinion.
The only rap that I personally listen to today is, as someone stated above, Eric B. and Rakim. The old stuff is where it's at but even that's wearing out on me.
What the heck are you talking about?! Aren't you feeling Mike Jones and 50 Cent?! :p
At the moment I'm really into MF DOOMs stuff, Masta Ace's 'A Long Hot Summer' and 'Disposable Arts', and Common's Be and Resurrection.
I really need to listen to ATCQ more, haven't given Midnight Marauders a spin in a while :(
