The next Mac Mini will probably have i3 Sandy Bridge CPU's, however, the lower end i3 SB CPU's have Intel HD 2000 integrated graphics, which are inferior to the current NVidia 320M GPU on the Mac Mini. Only the higher end SB CPU's have Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics, which most reviews say is about the same as the 320M, but I can't see Apple putting the most expensive i5 or i7 CPU in the Mini.
So the next Mini might have a faster CPU but inferior graphics, which they've done before when they dropped the Radeon GPU in the early Mini's and went to an integrated Intel GPU.

I have my Xbox doing 1080p thru component and it looks fine. I have not tried HDDVD yet but assume it will be OK.
One thing I did notice, When I had it set to 1080i and a played a DVD, the TV would IDENT the source as 480p, now no matter what I put in the Xbox it IDENTs the source as 1080p.

There is always a race for the latest and greatest, but I think systems have become so powerful that anything bought in the past year or so will now be viable for many years to come. Kind of like cars...... dramatic changes in the first 30-40 years........ but progress kind of leveled off after that....... or at least slowed to a point where a 20-30 year old vehicle could still operate on a highway without a problem......sort of like my mint 1980 Jeep CJ7:cool:
Just got an e-mail saying the Dual G4 Quicksilver is sold out. Back to the iMac!:D

From the chart, I'd say that this statement applies to people who owned a Kindle and got the iPad as a 2nd device. Or people who got the iPad and got the cheaper 3rd gen Kindle became available, etc.
I don't think Android tablets are common enough at this time for such a significant number of people already owning more than one.

definitely a good call.
it would be just plain stupid. looks like we are either stuck with moto or IBM is having alot of fun teasing us with their new proc.

I just unpacked my 20" iMac last night after work and all I can say is, "OMG, it's big!" You don't really notice it in the store next to all the open space and the other computers, but it's definitely bigger than I expected. But it's SO awesome! Before I even plugged it in, I stuck an extra 1GB of RAM in it and then transferred all my files over from my PowerBook. That's SO slick.
Then I went through all the system updates and played around with some Photoshop and InDesign files and they opened nice and quick and looked gorgeous on the screen.
I also bought an iLugger bag since I'll be using it for DJing on occasion with tomorrow being the first time. I know it's a bit big for that but I wanted to upgrade from my PowerBook and didn't see the need to get a new one until the next major revision. The iMac will tide me over just fine.
It's hard to go back to my now little PowerBook's 15" screen after gazing at the vast amount of real estate on the iMac. Definitely a sweet upgrade.

If you're a fan of the old command and conquer series, they released Red Alert. It's pretty cool to play on a touch device. Graphics are good too. Gameplay is not as crisp as the original so I'm hoping for a new C&C to come out. It's still worth the $4.99.

Opps N/M this is a Cydia thread :o my iPad isn't even JB.

I have run accros many of these in my area. I always send an email asking to meet somewhere so i can check it out. So far i have always gotten an email back about how they are currently out of the country, but they want to do the transaction via some escrow service. I guess i am hoping someday i might get lucky, but probably will never happen.

Anything that requires more disk access will lead to more wear and tear. Secure erasing, which generally involved overwriting "blank" areas of the disk with a series of information, will always be more effort, and hence more wear and tear, than simply removing a directory entry and leaving the data on the drive.

Does this script run for an unusually long time or something? I believe the default timeout for MySQL is around 8 hours.
Your code below is calling mysql_ping, but your error message is for mysqli_ping, make sure you are using the right type of connection.
mysql_ping will not do automatic reconnection, however mysqli_ping will if you set the mysqli.reconnect option in php.ini or your code.
Sorry, I just typed up the test cases I had used from memory quickly and copied and pasted (poorly). It is actually using mysqli_ping in the real tests. Thanks for pointing it out. I corrected this in my original post
8 hours is far too long of a timeout for our busy website. We are running a 30 second timeout right on the database out of necessity. Otherwise the resources sit there and are never released and aren't reallocated and used quickly enough.
I know mysqli_ping won't auto-reconnect (at least in some versions of PHP no matter what option you set), I just use it to test if the connection is still open. If not, I grab a new connection. Even if the ping worked and autoreconnected, the code would be fine. I just can't figure out why sometimes it tosses that error, or how to test for it beforehand.

There is a minor difference - the new iMacs have an ambient light sensor which will provide ideal brightness whether you are in a dark or well-lit environment.
If you manually set the brightness, does it return? Perhaps the display was set too bright/dim for the conditions?
From Apple's site: "To conserve power and relieve eyestrain, a built-in ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the screen brightness on MacBook, MacBook Pro and iMac to suit the ambient light of whatever room you�re in."

There is probably an easy way to do this but I can't seem to figure it out. I have Toast 6 installed on my non admin user. Do I have to re-install it on my admin user to use it there or can I somehow access it? I have music on my admin that I want to burn using Toast but didn't want to install again if I don't have to. Thanks!

Hi,
so I am going to be working from home, and so will be typing away at my keyboard from 9 to 5 everyday. My current keyboard is the Apple pro but my enter key is not as smooth as I wish it to be, it seems to get stuck halfway and I will need to exert more strength to press it. Also I do not feel good typing on it. Therefore I was looking for an enjoyable keyboard. I like the feel of my powerbook keyboard, I can type fast although with errors as sometimes I press to lightly as I kind of underestimate the strength needed. I am a touch typist so I type pretty fast. I also found out about the Matias tactile pro, although I have never tried one of those mechanical keyboards, I will imagine it to be a real pleasure, especially the sound when you type fast. It will be like making music while you code. However I am worried that over long hours the tactile pro will cause my finger to ache as they seem to imply that I need more strength to type. On the other hand, the icekey should reduce aches when you type long hours as you need to use less strength.
I do know that they are both extreme ends of the range of keyboards, shallow vs deep, soft vs loud. But I can't get my hands on any of them in the shops here in the uk, and so have to rely on your kind souls who have experience with them to advise me as to which one I should go with.
Thank you very much. Sorry for my long long post. :p
