I am trying to decide between a brand new MacBook or a MacBook Pro for my new laptop. Right now, I have a 14 inch Dell Latitude D630. It takes about 5 minutes to start up, and I have to turn it off every night. My dad bought an iMac about a year ago, and it still works like a charm. Plus, with the MacBook Pro, I can brag to my friends that I have a MacBook pro with Thunderbolt and a backlit keyboard. Anyways, getting back to the subject, here is what I will need to be doing:
HEAVY Web Browsing (including videos)
Some gaming
iTunes
GarageBand
Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.)
Some minor Video Editing
PLEASE READ BELOW IF YOU WANT TO POST A COMMENT!
If you post a comment, please specify:
If you want me to get a MacBook, please tell me how much RAM, hard drive space and RPM.
If you want me to get a MacBook Pro, please tell me what screen size, what processor, how much RAM, how much hard drive space and RPM, and display type.
Thanks for commenting!:)

I'll be there around 4ish- would someone mind updating the line info with rough estimates?
If you can find the time- that is ;)

Vocals could've been a great way to distinguish this from the Tap Tap Revenge style games. That said, I'm surprised that Tap Tap hasn't already included a true vocal mode.

So i ran a port checking tool and these are the results. I expected port 80 to be closed because I disabled the web service however mail is on and smtp is enabled with ssl and yet 587 continues to be closed as if nothing were listening on that port.

Thanks very much, I would like to store the videos externally instead of leaving them on the MBA but not lose the HD. Sounds like the Superdrive is out, so if I store it on an external hard drive, will it maintain HD at 1080 or even 720 when playing back from it on my MBA or TV?
Hope I made sense
Thanks much.:)

How would you be able to use it in your truck? Don't you need a WiFi connection or something?
Sorry I'm clueless lol.
Well I presume he also has an iPhone, in which case he can link them together through personal hotspot and it would work.
That would be the only plausible explanation that I could think of.

Eso, I like the thoughtful work that you've put into this and that you're willing to put an idea on the table, especially with some consideration given to try and work around the 'popularity' argument which comes up time and time again when reputation systems get discussed.
However, in many ways, the metric of how many times someone gets a rumour 'right' just isn't that important to a large proportion of forum members, especially many long term members who have their own ideas about who is worth listening to on any given topic or not. Many of them might read the news threads to find out what's going on and what people are thinking, but rarely participate in the scrum.
Personally, if we were thinking of the reputation of people, I would rank forum members who actually directly help people out with technical, software and hardware problems and follow through, far far higher than someone who clicks on a button to express an opinion on a rumour.
Besides, many news articles may not be about rumours but instead might be about actual substantiated news, so it would seem pointless to employ opinions on these as meaning anything useful. Someone voting on whether a OS release is a good or bad idea hardly qualifies them to get a higher ranking than someone who doesn't vote.
Another problem is this idea:
When the time comes that the rumor is confirmed true or false, MacRumors can award points to a user's "Reputation" based on their affiliation.
What if the rumour turns out to be partially true? What if there are currently no technical means to retrospectively award 'points' to almost half a million members? Is this where Arn and co should be spending limited time and resources to develop this system or would attention be better spent elsewhere on other forum and site features? Also, enabling contributors to clear their slate for $25 per year would make the idea of a reputation system completely redundant, how would you know who to trust?
Just from my experience, these are just a handful of problems with your idea that immediately come to mind. Keep the ideas coming, though.

HI,
Any idea how I can make is animation view more modular?
I have several UIViewControllers and they have buttons that will call a sliding pickerView. The dataSource on the pickerView would be different but everything else is the same.
Right now I have an animated view in one ViewController but I'm guessing the other ViewController will have problems calling this and it appears when other ViewControllers are active?
Thanks.

I think it could be somewhat analogous to member titles based on a user's total number of posts. Most people probably don't care what their title is. Some people will take "newbies" less seriously than others.
In either case, member titles, avatars, and join dates are form of recognition for members of the forum. Points could be used in much the same way. Just like member titles, some people won't care what points a poster has and others will. Perhaps the term "Reputation" isn't the best. Maybe "Rumor Rank" or something (or "Gullibility" :D).
In other words, the intent is to award a specific recognition for members (that want to participate). Just like member titles are known to be based on total posts, this would be known to be based on 'rumor' stories. I didn't really mean a system to rate a user's general contribution to the site. What I meant by "giving weight to user's opinions" was just in context of discussing rumors. For example, given the track record of Kevin Rose and John Gruber - when both weigh in on an rumor, which are you more likely to believe?
Besides, many news articles may not be about rumours but instead might be about actual substantiated news, so it would seem pointless to employ opinions on these as meaning anything useful. Someone voting on whether a OS release is a good or bad idea hardly qualifies them to get a higher ranking than someone who doesn't vote.
Right; news items wouldn't be appropriate to include a vote. By the same token, some rumor items could have multiple votes. Let's take one of the recent stories, for example. iPad 2 with High Resolution Screen and SD Card Slot, iPhone 5 with A5 Processor? (http://www.macrumors.com/2011/01/14/ipad-2-with-high-resolution-screen-and-sd-card-slot-iphone-5-with-a5-processor/) There's essentially three major features up for discussion:
1) Will the iPad 2 have an SD slot?
2) Will the iPad 2 screen have a greater resolution than the current iPad?
3) Will the iPhone 5 be a dual-mode CDMA/GSM model?
Out of the 346 posts, 21% of them either directly said aspects of the rumor were true/false or posted with the assumption that it was true/false (that includes you up there, Apple OC ;)) The percentage of unique members making such a post is higher because many of them posted several times in the thread, obviously not saying what they believed of the rumor every time.
How many of these particular posters are likely to be interested in some kind of poll/vote which can potentially earn them a badge or point for their profile? Of all the other posters that discussed the rumor without saying they believed it or not, how many of them may be interested in voting on the rumor for fun?
It difficult to say how broad interest in something like this is, but I don't think it's insignificant. Currently there are awards based on seniority/posting history: avatars, member titles, forum access, etc. Since a large portion of the website is rumor-centric; having a rumor-centric award system could be a popular addition.
What if there are currently no technical means to retrospectively award 'points' to almost half a million members? Is this where Arn and co should be spending limited time and resources to develop this system or would attention be better spent elsewhere on other forum and site features?
That's certainly is a concern. I'm also aware that forum software is basically a package deal and it could be difficult to add. I have, however, used several forums that use point-based system for members. One gaming forum in particular works in basically the same way as this system would work: members have points that they can use to vote on who they think will win a match. If they are right, they are awarded points; if they are wrong, they lose points.
Also, enabling contributors to clear their slate for $25 per year would make the idea of a reputation system completely redundant, how would you know who to trust?
Hopefully I have explained what system I imagine a little bit better. Contributors being able to clear their points would be more analogous to being able to use the "MacRumors Demi-God" member title.

I've decided to test "My Living Desktop" in the second Lion's preview and, for my surprise, it is running. But when I try to register it says that I can register only as Administrator ( well, I am the administrator...at least I think I am... :) ). The pop up says that I have to log off and log on as administrator...How can I do that?...I mean How can I install a software that says that I can run it only if I am the administrator?...:D
I'd run a bug report on that, doesn't sound like it's actually working..

hey guys:
'
I tried getting Windows to install via Bootcamp on my iMac and it was a no go. So I'm trying Parallels out . Got Windows 7 installed and I installed the Parallels tools.
Problem is I'm trying to update my Zune 80 and everytime I try to login to my Zune , I get error message: Cant access the server. Make sure your connected the the internet and there are no firewalls or proxy servers blocking access to the Zune service. Then try again.
I have tried turning off the firewall in Windows and Mac, tried to configure the right connections through Little Snitch and through Sophos and I'm still getting this message.
any ideas? I'm using the latest 21.5 iMac.

Use the Cycle jQuery plugin. You can find the info and download here.

Easy to configure, and plays nice with lots of other scripts.
