Everytime I upgrade to a new version of LR I try Aperture, I tend to find it struggles badly on my Mac Mini - Lightroom doesn't set the world on fire in terms of performance - but it works.

For me LR is a more polished application, I have no issues with the interface (used it from Beta version) or the need to switch from Library to Develop modules.

Are you sure your computer isn't saying "Could not load MySpace, Reason: It's for 13 year old losers."? ;)

I'm sorry, I can't stand that site.

Some of us are much older losers, thank you vefy much. :D

That's a nice tip. Thanks! But does anyone know if MS ever plans on releasing WMP10?

I'm sure they'll release WMP10 for Mac about the time WMP12 is ready for Windows. ;)

Work Units.

Wow those pictures are beautiful!

This makes a lot of sense. I suspect we may see this transition far faster than we think. What if Apple were to announce an AMD powered Power Mac at MWSF? From a software standpoint it seems almost unthinkable, but if they've found some way to do it with a minimal impact..... hmmm....

How big is your dorm man?

Just get a 25ft Cat5 cable and you'll be set.

I don't think you really need to drop 130 bucks to go wireless in a 12' x 12' room.

I dunno, just me.

Like I said, be cautious. Just be careful so you don't dish out a bunch of money and get nothing in return.

If one of those new supercomputers had a few minutes to spare it could solve all possible protein folding configurations, cure all neurodegenerative diseases, and still have time for a game of Jeopardy!.

My Uptime - 12 hours :p

Do you pay your electricity bill?

Also that is one sure way to fry your Mac. Power surge can happen at any time.. Do you really trust those $100 surge boards for 24/7 use or do you have UPS.

Also think of how much dust gets in there...

Not smart to leave your computer on 24/7.

Are you kidding? The OP is just making a point about how good a mac is vs. a pc. If I even think about leaving my pc up for two days it will shut down just because I had that idea. The OP also stated that he had to leave it up to run a project for that amount of time.

Wow that's amazing. How much did it cost roughly and how long did it take you to collect so many?

I started collecting DVDs in 2001/2002 (can't really tell exactly) and bought my last one in 2009. Before that I bought laserdiscs (still have a nice collection of those, too). Here in Germany it was quite difficult to get movies without dubbed sound (Germans dub everything) and I absolutely hate not hearing the original actor's voice. We're talking pre-internet era here, early to mid nineties. So I went for (expensively) imported LDs. When DVDs were introduced it was a dream come true. Next to the German dubbing almost every DVD contained the original sound and was much cheaper compared to an LD, plus the picture quality was way better. I sometimes still watch an LD, though, because the analog audiotracks rule. ;)

Summing it up: Nine years, lots of cash, no regrets. Now I'm all digital with a Mac mini and 6TB connected to my flatscreen. It's really comfortable.

Since both drives are internal, you can indeed dedicate one drive to Windows.

If you plan on using it frequently and feel like opening it, you can upgrade the ram and stick an ssd in for a significant boost in responsiveness.

Other than that, you could put Plex on it to replace the AppleTV, or use it as a file/webserver, etc.

Did you fight over who got to be Mac?

What would you like the title of your ad to be in the contest gallery? Apple's "PC and Mac" ads have titles, and yours should too.

Read the link I posted in post #3 if you want to remove all traces of an app.

thanks

Try restarting your machine, FileVault should ask you if you want to optimise, and will then recover the HD space in your Home folder.

I've been using FV for a while, it seem to work fine as long as you remember to point audio and video apps at a external FireWire drive.

Apple and every other computer maker is going to be held back. Don't you think apple had sandy bridge based computers in the pipeline

The biggest difference is others started shipping/advertising those computers before apple

If you think you'll be playing the next pokemon(like after Black and White) or think you might want any other new games in the future, I'd say go for the 3DS...if you're buying new, the extra 70 or 90 dollars allows you to future proof your purchase.

For the battery life, the physical battery is larger on the 3DS, so the fact that its dyes quicker relates to power usage for 3DS games, for DS games, you can expect better battery life that the 3+hours for 3DS games.

But if you're buying used, go for a DS lite for like 70 dollars, then sell it once you beat Pok�mon.

I've learned over time that zooming is really something you shouldn't do often. So many people think they can make amazing videos by zooming in and out all the time when really the zooming just hurts them. The panning and tilting was nice but needs to be much smoother and also I'd recommend not using copyrighted music without the proper permissions.

Updated!

I went to the Covent Garden store today and the employee(s) I spoke to said that the store will 'most probably' open at 8am instead of 9am next Friday for the launch *g*

What time were you planning on arriving? :)

again if you actaully have read the past articles you wont have to this is just a bonus type of deal good lord.:rolleyes:

So you pay some money to Sony and you get access to bonus things? That sounds an awful lot like paying for a service.

I have sent an email to my manager here at Gateway with a link to that article to see if we can get iPods to keep up with Dell. I will be interested to see what they say. "Ah... well ...hmmm... maybe if we hadn't run those ads bashing the iMac... damn."

Guess maybe you should be careful who you go around trashing on TV. :cool:

As for as I know, it's extremely unlikely for someone to brick an iPhone or iOS device. You can certainly mess up during the process if you are careless, but you would just have to restore it or go into DFU mode. So I wouldn't be afraid.

YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

E-PL1 support finally. :D

I was a little skeptical at first with the ipad, but I bought one for my dad and after using it more and more on the side, I've found more and more uses for it myself.
