Just wanted to ask while i wait for my new 27 imac, if someone has noticed there hdd rumbling, or if its gone.
I remember the 27 1tb had the most problems so would love to hear from the new owners
That depends on which HD you get, some are louder than others.
Played Black Ops today for a while and the system never even ramped the fans, hit 70C max on the CPU.

I bought a refurb 27" 2.8 i5 Quad Core, 4GB, ATI Radeon HD 5750, 1GB memory in the last month. I called Apple yesterday asking if I could swap it out for one of the new models and they gave me the ok. So now I'm looking at the base 27" 2.7 i5 Quad Core, 4GB, AMD Radeon HD 6770M, 512MB.
Is there going to be a major difference between the two video cards? I'm not sure how much better the 6670M is than the 5750. Dropping half the memory sounds like it could take a hit in performance. I was thinking of jumping up to the 27" 3.1 i5 Quad Core, 4GB, AMD Radeon 6970M 1GB, but I'd rather spend the cash on a 2TB HDD instead since I've almost maxed out my 1TB.
I'm not a heavy gamer. Mostly Civ V, Starcraft, Diablo III when it hits and the Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic MMO via bootcamp when it releases. I'll probably throw in a few other titles here and there as well. Other then that I use handbrake a lot, Pages, and iTunes to stream to my AppleTV 2. I also do some minimal video editing on it as well.

Mac2sell isn't always accurate. The 1.83C2D pops up as a refurb for less than that. PM sent.

Yes. Parallels allows you to use the Bootcamp partition as a virtual machine. Create a new VM, and you will see an option to use Bootcamp as the VM disk. I believe it's described fairly well in the Parallels documentation.
The only caveat is you can't suspend, as you would a standard VM (with disk virtualized too).
When you restart your Bootcamp install natively, it will configure itself to use native hardware. When started through Parallels, it will configure itself using virtualized h/w. Also, the first time you start Bootcamp Windows through Parallels, it will automatically install drivers that Parallels needs.

I was coming back from visiting my parents over the weekend and I noticed a strange line of aircraft lining up to land at O'Hare. I was thinking that the planes were way too close to each other to land safely. Upon closer inspection I noticed that they were helicopters, usually when you see more than one helicopter in Chicago either the Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup or President Obama is in town. Here are some pictures I snapped with my iPhone, you can sort of see that they are helicopters, I think Obama is in one of the two choppers on the right. Anyway, Happy 49th Birthday Mr. Obama (belated)!
The last photo was taken sometime in May (I think) Obama was heading south down Halsted right by my apartment!

Entry Consumer Desktop (under $1300 USD):
I would have to say the emac 700 with the combo drive. You get a 17" monitor, a G4 and it is just over $1000 dollars.
I would like to see this model kept to replace the classic imac for perhaps...$899 after the next revision???
Consumer Desktop ($1300++ USD):
If I wanted the best system for the least money then the emac 800 SD would be my pick.
I think that the best value for the money and what you get is the 17" imac SD however. You get so much for the $500 more: a great FP widescreen monitor; a better designed computer; better videocard; more HD space...
Consumer Laptop:
12" 600mhz; 12" 700 mhz or 14" 700 mhz
My pick is the 12" 700mhz with the combo drive. I think that it is a better put together machine than the 14" and has a little more power to be worth more than the 600mhz of the 12". I don't think the 14" is worth the extra $$. It may be if it lets say had a 800mhz G3...something to differentiate it!
I am curious to see how Apple will update the form factor when they do!
Pro Laptop:
667mhz or 800mhz Powerbook
Tough call...depends on how much one wants to spend...I'll say the 800 simply for the reason that if you spend the kind of money the PBs cost you should get one that is better in every way than the consumer laptops (especially speed)
Pro Desktop:
dual 867 mhz; dual 1 ghz or dual 1.25 ghz; maybe even 17" imac SD
I like the dual 867 mhz model...simply because these seem to be stop-gap models and I think that you get an excellent machine for $1699 compared with the 733 G4 and 800 G4 (the past entry level models). Why pay the big $$ when you get a great dual for $1699.
and what the heck:
ipod 20GB for $499- $100 more than the original for 4x the space + case and wired remote = great deal!

Have a 3G iPhone. The battery wasn't holding a charge, so I decided to try another phone on AT&T - not really happy with it so want to go back to iPhone. I took to a mac repair store and they changed out the battery. The battery works great and it connects to my home network (which is working), but I can't seem to get it to run off wifi. No service plus wifi doesn't seem to work. Still have the SIM card. Have tried resetting phone, network, network settings, running in airplane mode, etc - nothing seems to work. It seems to get a full signal on the network, but it won't actually pull in data (load pages, etc.). I want to make sure the wifi is working properly before I go through the trouble of having AT&T reactivate the phone.
Any suggestions?

What you want is a book on unix shell programming. The oreilly book "Learning the bash Shell" is decent.
When you run terminal you get a unix shell. Most likely the shell you're running in is called the bash shell. It might also be called sh, but the two are similar.
Open up a terminal and type the command:
ps
The right column in the output will tell you what shell you're running. That's the subject you want to learn about.

if you have craigslist in your city, you can find these for 200 easily.
Brand new and not a scam? I doubt that... They retail for $300!

Personally, I'd go for an Apple display. It's only once it's sitting on your desk you realise how incredible this thing is. It looks and performs brilliantly, and matches the Power Mac perfectly.
Apple displays all the way - even if they are hooooogely expensive in comparison.
Cheers,
andy.

I love Woz. I've met him once, he's one of the most down to earth and humble people you could ever meet. IMO only the Dali Lama has him beat. He's the exact opposite of what I would expect SJ to be.
I wonder how Woz would have responded to the iP4 antenna issue?
-Don
He would exchange all of them for new iPhones in a heartbeat which would be followed by the company going out of business.

if you already have wired connections to the 2 remotes it should work with the linksys.
make sure you have the same SSID and security settings on all 3 routers, you have to pay attention, since the security terminology might be slightly different and you need to make sure it's the same setting even if it's a different name.
also make sure you have the expresses in bridge mode.
your device will automatically pick the strongest signal.
also you won't be able to "connect to the linksys" as you will pick your network name, and won't know which of the 3 bases you're connected to*.
*you can figure out which one you're connected to by option-clicking on the airport item in your menu bar and looking at the BSSID and comparing that mac address to your airports and linksys.
Unfortunately it doesn't work quite so seamlessly at the moment. I can tell when I'm connected to the Linksys, because on that router the network printing and AirPlay do not work for some reason. The settings are as identical as I can get them, but as you say the Linksys uses slightly different terminology so maybe they just won't work together.

Thans guys,
I tried spellign out with yarn (first thought before I created this thread), and that avenue didn't work out so great. I ended up hand drawing everything (ball of yarn and the needed text), and that turned out well. Thanks for the rope brushes!

Here is your problem. The disk you are using is (probably) specially made to work only with the hardware it was sold with. Apple does the same thing with the disk that come with their computers, it will only work with a computer of the same model that it came with.
sigh..i knew it had something to do with being configured for dell pcs but i was hoping it was just a simple driver that i could find and get on a flash drive..so im pretty much screwed then i suppose

If I recall correctly, that system has 64-bit, 33MHz PCI slots, not PCI-X. I believe the first machine to have PCI-X was the 1.8GHz G5.
