HOLY CRAP!!!!
Ordered Wednesday - received today!!! Just got back from a meeting an it was waiting on my desk!
Opened up the brown shipping box, already thinking " wow the new box must be small", but on opening the actual iPod box was within another box!
The new box is tiny (due to the lack of power adapter :rolleyes: ) - it must be around a third of the size to the old box - 16cm x 16cm x 6cm. Remove the sleeve and you're greeted by the typical Apple clamshell packaging, the inner of the top section holding the headphones, USB2 cable and beltclip - the bottom (under the mini)holding the manuals etc. If anyone is bothered I may put up some pics when I get home...
I ended up going for the silver, and to my eyes it does look slightly darker than my current mini. I'll check when I get home if this is true before it goes off to its new owner.
Not sure if this is new, but there are operating instructions actually on the clear wrapping plastic surrounding the mini itself - I don't remember seeing them on my other iPods....
I'll be doing some real world testing on it tonight after I've given it a full charge and see how long the battery does last for....
I'm still amazed at the speed of this delivery! Nice one Apple!
Update: Just got home, and the new box is just over half as big as the old box, and the instructions are in fact on the back of the old mini wrapper too.... strange I've never noticed! The colours are identical - not really that surprising for the silver I suppose! The only obvious difference is the inclusion of the 6GB sign on the back of tne new mini...

There's a video of a Verizon iPhone 4 running on Sprint. Thought I don't believe it lol.
Verizon iPhone 4 Unlocked for Sprint (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJr7P5P0QRM)
Something about it doesn't sound right...
Would be nice if Apple would just open up the iPhone to all carriers so people don't have to hack the phone like this.

Ok so I have a 2009 uMB which has the OS Installer Disk and Applications Disk, then I have a 2009 Mini which has both OS Installer and Applications, however I am trying to reformat my new HDD to use in my uMB but I can not find the disk, is the disk that came with the Mini the same application installer disk until I find the other disk, I need to get iLife 2009 on the uMB and that is what is on both Application installer disks.
I am just not sure if Apple has different software by machine, or they are all the same.

I know how the peeps around here like their music (**cough** free **cough**). And I know this may not be the most up to the minute post, but I searched around and could not find it posted earlier on the forums. I came across this guy by happenstance and really liked his finger-picking style of guitar.

My eyesight is not great. From time to time i use my iphone 4 while not wearing my reading glasses. My issue: web sites like yahoo, mac rumors, etc have a iphone-friendly format of their sites to fit a lot of content in a limited landscape. I get it. But what I don't get is why I can not use the pinch and expand gestures on these sites so that I can expand the text size so that I can read the damned pages that are rendered like on other sites.
Is there a remedy for this issue?
:eek:

Nothing at the moment, but I read articles from Wired.com sometimes.
Just today I read an article about MilBloggers, bloggers who are serving in the military as they blog, and another article about people using bots on the online casino websites. If I were to subscribe to a magazine it would probably be wired, but I'm okay with reading online for now :).

How is your server connected to the internet? Do you have port forwarding/NAT/Port redirection enabled on your router to route traffic received on your external address to SLS?
eg <public Ip address> port 25 NAT to <192.169.1.2> Port 25
your A host address on GoDaddy may send the SMTP mail to your router, but the router needs to know where to deliver it on your LAN, ie what private IP address the server sits on.

Minor video editing, get the macbook pro.
Pros on going with the Pro:
It was just refreshed
The 13" offers good enough work area to do minor video editing (I was running on a 12" Powerbook G4 for years before I had to sell it).
It's priced competitively if you're comparing the entry level 13" Pro to the Macbook and MBA.
It's still lightweight, even compared to your Dell notebook.
I know people are telling you to consider the Air but when I was comparing the two I still think the MBP is still the way to go if you're going to perform some editing (Photo or Video). At times I feel some jitter/lag when editing photos on the MBA 11" and 13" base models. People might tell you to go towards the Ultimate for it to perform better but at that point you can upgrade your MBP to outperform the MBA for less.

Thanks for sharing your set up. So do you have to each one separately to see what is due, what you need? Or do they somehow overlap each other?
michelleYou've got to set up each independently.
I use Todo for projects, and I use Due for small stuff that I'd likely forget to do on time (clothes need to be dry by tomorrow, so as soon as I get home I should start the laundry) and things I might forget doing altogether (like taking my meds). What's great about Due is it just keeps beeping at you every minute till you either do what you need to do and check it off or postpone it ten minutes, one hour, or one day in case you can't do it at that time.

Can someone please tell me how to crop (zoom) and move a photo in Final Cut Pro, like you can in Sony Vegas or iMovie? I'd appreciate it greatly.
Double-click the image in the Media Browser or on the timeline to put it into the Viewer window and then click the "Motion" tab in the Viewer. There, you can set scale and position.

Anyone else going to the Clarendon Apple Store?
I'm pretty sure I'll be heading there, but I'm also considering going to Tysons Corner. Any guesses on which store will have a shorter line?
I'd assume Tysons will have the longer of the two lines.
Have you given any thought to the Fair Oaks location? Just curious. I have no idea what the line there would be like.

Anyone here going to grab a sealed ipad 16gb model to keep as a collectors item? 10-20 years from now, I have no doubts it will be worth much more then its current asking price.
No, already spent the money on a sealed original Mac Mini... ;)
(had an Apple Store coupon for $30 off over $300, so I used it on that - back when they gave out that sort of thing... $469 :D)

Yeah, it seems to happen periodically with the 'mote and nunchuck that came with the Wii, but not the ones I bought after.
They've figured it out now so they know what to do in case it happens. Pause the game and unplug the nunchuck. Is that mature :p?
B
It's more mature than throwing the nunchuk through the TV while swearing like Andrew Dice Clay. :D

One of the cultural phenomena which has damaged our perceptions of what is cool and what is lame.
Its not the worst offender.
Not as bad as Hip-Hop or rubbish like that.
But it's in the same breath.
You know you're getting too old when you think "everything was better before all this rubbish" :)

Thanks, while that was some good background info, I guess I need to ask more questions.
What is a good yet inexpensive turnkey ISP? I mean turnkey like they have tons of templates I can manipulate, they can reg my domain names, and offer enough bandwidth to take care of a start up nothing site, I will not sell anything from this site, it will be more info about me and what I do.
I want to "Brand" myself so to speak.
I will offer links and post testimonials or recommendations from others.
I want to keep this inexpensive, but not afraid to spend where it needs spending.
Should I use a .biz domain?

Anyone know where to find an Incipio NGP case for the new iPod Touch?
I have one for my iPhone 4 and love it. Now I wanna get one for my son's new iPod touch.
Thanks in advance!

Since max_altitude's Warhol (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=167926) didn't make it to the finals, it has to be Lacero's apple carving, no doubt about that... :)
I hadn't seen max_altitude's initially, thanks for the link. That is indeed a cool one, but Lacero's 3D masterpiece is the clear winner in my books. Obviously all the others are great as well, (everyone is far more talented than I, that's for sure!), but that one is simply impressive. :cool:

I know this is more of a 'current affairs' thing but...
There are some amazing photos coming from Egypt at the moment, ones of defiance, strength, unity etc. Some really amazing scenes.
I wanted to create a thread to showcase some of the photos taken.
I'll start by showing this one:
A Muslim man holding the Koran and a Catholic man holding a Cross. Egyptians standing united.

Anyone heard of this? It is touted as a general fitness program - you should see the muscle-up exercise - and there seems to be an active community on their forums full of people who were happy with the progress and results.
I'm thinking of trying it out. What do you think of it?

It works great. The first preview raped my air, but this second one seems to use system resources much much better.
If you have any worries about it, developer preview 2 runs great and much better than 1 if you had tried it out.
Right now I have Safari open and nothing else, system seems to idle just about where SL did.
