If the majority of this forum (not adressing or insulting you) would take of their Apple glasses, they would see the reality or at least the potential of the Windows Phone. I love my mac, but I am not biased to some cult.
Windows Phone launched in November, since then they managed to deliver 10k+ apps (and no, 70% of them aren't spam) ! Faster than both iOS and Android app growth rate when they launched. Of course, Microsoft needs to play catch up right now but they surely DID deliver an almost bug-free system right out the box.
Add that (apparently) they managed to sell around 600K+ phones only in February and the total is now around 2.5 million .. NOT bad for a starter, eh ?
Microsoft spent half a bilion only on advertising. They also "bought" Nokia for 1 billion. They basically bought the best hardware manufacturer (IMO, a smartphone in 2011 with a price of >400$ made of plastic is a cheap joke! No wonder about that 500$ laptop Steve quote ..) thus being able to penetrate markets worldwide much faster. Nokia is still #1 in terms of popularity at least. Agressive to say the least..
Have you actually used a WP? Every single time someone watched mine or played with it they went totally wow. Updates are coming and scheduled already.
Joe Belfiore (the "chief" of WP department) was invited to AllThingsD and while being bashed by that old man Apple fanboy he kept his calm and also stayed totally pro also providing a 2-year time to become a big player.
Android is now where it is because of the time they hit, not because of providing a better experience than iOS. They were the first to fight iOS while others were still cooking their own OS or were still using Symbian lol. It's still a laggy OS even with dual cores for crying out loud.
I am not saying WP is going to beat iOS in 2 years, no way but I see it as Microsoft most ambitious project since 360. And look where that got.
That's one way of looking at it.
Another would be that Microsoft managed to fumble away a substantial foothold in the mobile marketplace before delivering WP7, while watching Apple and Google stake their claims.

Completing my Final Cut project tonight. I have been down the last few days because for some reason F@H will suck away power from FCP, even tho it is not supposed to (same with F@H and Pro Tools).:confused:
Anyway, hopefully I will be back up tomorrow and booted in Windows with bigadv and GPU to make up some lost time.;)

ben sent me this image, figured I'd post it here, since I don't think he can from his iphone.
That's why we need a MacRumors app!
I'm a little sad that I won't be lining up this year. I've lined up for the iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPad, and iPhone 4. But not the iPad 2 :(

Congrats on the iBook purchase, I had one a while back and their great machines for what they can do.
In regards to your queries, Flash 10.1 is the latest that can run on PowerPC machines :( and HTML5 is supported in TenFourFox as far as I know, by default. Did you download the appropriate TenFourFox build for your G4?
What specifications is the iBook G4? Is it running Tiger or Leopard?
What "jumpy" flash issues are you experiencing? I use it on my G5 and flash ad's can be abit iffy at times, though never exhibited any youtube issues.

A handy link is this one (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=1&day=15&year=2008&hour=9&min=0&sec=0&p1=224) from timeanddate.com, which shows a wide range of cities.
I'll add that link to my main post.
You forgot the most important time zone:
1:30 - Newfoundland
I'll add that time to my main post aswell.
EDIT: Before I add it, is that PM or AM?

You do realize that Microsoft bought Connectix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connectix) out entirely. They're part of the Borg now. It's all Microsoft's decisions now...
B
Actually, according to that article it looks like MS bought their last viable product and they then de-established the company. A technicality, but different than being bought by MS.
Virtual PC and Virtual server emulation software of x86-based personal computers for the Macintosh and Windows (sold to Microsoft).
With the sale of Virtual PC development and support, staff were transferred to Microsoft, including Chief Technical Officer Eric Traut, but not including any of the Connectix board members or Technical Support. Its Macintosh products, including DoubleTalk, CopyAgent and RAM Doubler, were discontinued.

The NVIDIA 320m isn't "6 year old tech." Nor are the Toshiba SSD, HD screen, glass trackpad, or OS X 10.6. Get past the mindset that the CPU defines the computer and you'll see that the MacBook Air is a modern device. That said, I would like to see Thunderbolt in the next revision, and undoubtedly it will get Sandy Bridge sometime this year.
Even the 'Core 2' isn't 6 year old technology, its no more '6 year old technology' than Sandy Bridge being little more than a 'extension of 6 year old technology'. The Core 2 is as valid today as it was when it was first released, fine tuned, tweaked, and perfected - to me I don't see it hanging around for 6 years as being bad, I see it as an example of good design that can stand the test of time and deliver great performance to this day. Today the Core 2 is still being sold but under new brands, new names etc. but it is still very much the same.
It will be interesting to see where Sandy Bridge fits into it - whether Apple is waiting for the Intel refresh later this year named Ivy Bridge which will hopefully bring a GPU refresh as well :)

I have the same problem! just took my G5 to the apple store and they tried alot of things... booted from an external by holding option... checked the drives, which were supposedly fine according to Disk Utility.
I figured it would either be ram going bad or the drives. so I've switched out the drive and all the ram, and tried to run it off of a friend's drive, but I get a (no smoking logo without the cigarette) in place of the :apple: when booting . I'm guessing it is because the OS installed on the hardrive is 10.6 and thus not supported by the PPC G5.
Now I'm waiting for the disks to get here to troubleshoot with those.
Any ideas guys??

With Lion coming up in the Summer, should Apple offer free upgrades to customers who buy a Mac now? I say that as potential customers could be holding out on purchasing a Mac until the new OSX is released, wouldn't it be better to secure those as customers now and give them the Lion when it's available. I'm keen to get a Mac, I can wait but if I knew I was eligible to get Lion free I'd probably pull the trigger now.
I know a similar thing was offered to Windows users, a free upgrade to 7 when it was released.

I really like the idea of this app. If it is executed right, this can be big. Just imagine buying a Mac mini, hooking it up to your TV and stereo and be able to watch movies, listen to music, or browse your pictures.
Great idea. I have an older Mac and I would love to make it work with this application and setup.

I didnt have the machine until yesterday and my post was made before i got it. It handles 720p files fine but would like better performance in Plex with the Aeon skin hence my post about upgrading RAM.

huh? i got my iphone 4 at tmobile and got it unlocked for 100� after explaining to them that i'll be uproad for some time and need to use a foreign sim. was no prob at all. u cant expect someone to use their sim in australia for example. ud be broke after usin the net for 5 mins ^^
I did the same right after i got my new iPhone 4 and they refused to do it referring to the 2 year service agreement. After 2 years you can unlock it for free, within the 2 years you cant at all...at least thats what they told me.
Lucky you i guess :D
