I have a Rev. A and I just love it. No problems at all, no noisy fans, in fact, the machine is so quiet it's scary. Go for it!

It takes 578mhz to do one w/u a day. Therefore that would mean an 867mhz would do 1.5 a day (accurate, thats what my PB does) and a 266mhz would do one every 2.1 days, also accurate. Someone compare my equation to their computer. All you do is take your CPU speed and divide it by 578. It *should* give you roughly the w/u you complete in one day.

You know the screen is 27" diagonal, and you know the width, so the height of the screen is the third side of the triangle.

OP, there's is a program I use called Tagalicious. You just open it, select songs that are missing information, and it attempts to dig up the information on that song. Once finds the information you're missing, you can choose what to send (e.g., send lyrics, but not artwork, etc) to your iTunes Library. It's been able to identify all but a few of the 400+ songs I have in my library...it was even able to get tags for songs with no name, album, or any information on them whatsoever.

How does it compare to an alubook keyboard? Does it have the same feel to it? I'm a bit worried that the keys will not feel as 'soft' as the alubook's.
I tried this one, and it really feels horrible (like a VAIO.. *shudders*) : http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Logitech%20UltraX%20Keyboard%20Keyboard:1991330435
Thanks for the link, I'll try to find a shop carrying it in Europe!
Don't think you could go wrong with this keyboard. As to comparing it to the AluBook????? I don't have one and my experience is limited to a few keystrokes at an Apple retailer. HOWEVER, it does seem to compare very nicely from my limited experience. Trust me, this is a nice keyboard especially if you are used to laptops. Finally, I think you might be in luck. I believe I did a Google search and came up with some European/Japanese sites that carried this and/or had some reviews of it. I could swear that in a review I came across some info that you could get a BT version of the IceKey. If they sold it here in the states I'd get one as my G5 is BT. My goal is to "cut the cord" so to speak. I highly recommend the Icekey.... good luck. Cheers

I'm thinking about buying a ib or a pb for university. I'm not really happy about the ib cause it only has 14inch screen max. But the pb costs a lot! (especially since I live in canada). Is it worth the investment to buy a 15inch pb? I figured one with superdrive would cost 500$ more than a ib 14inch with superdrive. I wouldn't even think of buying a pc laptop because after I got my iPod, every machine with windows looks so damn ugly, but they do seem to have a better price.

most TVs don't include an audio in port for the HDMI.
you can use something like
this (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10114&cs_id=1011405&p_id=5369&seq=1&format=2) - a dvi and digital audio combiner, that outputs HDMI.
and one of these (http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10229&cs_id=1022902) toslink to mini cable to connect audio from your computer to the box.
and one of these (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10209&cs_id=1020901&p_id=2685&seq=1&format=2) dvi cables to connect your computer to the box.
you'll also need an HDMI male to male, to plug the box into your TV.
also look at your TV manual, or if you're using an external stereo that has digital inputs. the toslink to mini cable might come in handy.
FWIW, I use that specific box (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10114&cs_id=1011405&p_id=5369&seq=1&format=2) referenced by waw74. Works just fine on my Mac Pro.

Stick it to the recording studios... as long as the prices don't increase to compensate their greedy little pockets.
I think you mean labels not studios. Most of the people working at studios work very hard for not much pay.

My mouse (Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse v2.0) show far less mouse acceleration in Lion compared to Snow Lion.
I haven't read anything about this so I guess it's something on my end? Or does other people get similar behavior in Lion?
No problems with my Magic Mouse.
Crazy question, but is it still slow after adjusting tracking to Fast in system preferences?

Interesting article. It's fascinating and funny how computer technology progresses.
James Lileks, a news columnist and news ephemera Website owner, has a little section of his Web "museum" (http://www.lileks.com/institute/compupromo/index.html) with pictures from vintage mainframe computer advertisements, replete with his signature offbeat commentary. One depicted a Control Data 3500, and his final comment on it was: "Remember: your iPod has more storage capacity than everything in this room." :D

I think the song Gold Digger is fine. I think Kanye West is fine. However, that song for that crowd wasn't fine. I think another song would have been better, like "Hey Mama." Can't argue with that song. Lots of people in that room wouldn't have look so "Mike Myers-ish" as Kanye rapped that one.
How about Dave Matthews Band? Sure, people do love them, but if they sang "Crash Into Me," that would be a bit disturbing, wouldn't it? "And I come into you-oo-hooo.........in a boys dream."

I would only transfer OS X and apps so in Migration Assistant, simply don't include the users folder and whatever takes a lot space. After migration, move the other data from the other computer/external to the HD.
You can also point your Home folder to the HD which makes managing an SSD and HD pretty easy.

The PC version is only $29 so the Mac version will be the same. The console version is $39 but it's still an ok price. This game is wonderful. I downloaded the demo and played it on my PC and it played like a dream.
After you complete a level you have a 'free-play' mode where you can change into different characters and walk around. It's fun being an enemy droid and sneaking past the bad guys without them knowing.
If you haven't seen screenshots or the trailer for the game I say you should look at them before you judge the game itself. At first I didn't know what to think, but after looking at the screenshots and videos I downloaded the demo right away! Heck I even submitted this story and reserved a copy of the game myself! :)

EDIT: Here's a screen from 3Dgamers.com, yeah it looks much better when all the settings are on high though:

Safari 5.1 on Lion for me is, without exaggeration, 4 times faster loading pages than 5.0.3 on SL. It's insanely fast loading anything from HTML5 to Flash content.
It's not just snappier, it's in a different realm.

Somehow, someway. It would take this site to a whole new level. One thing I don't like (in any forum) is having to scroll through a thread to see if someone replied to my post or search my username to do so. I wonder how difficult it would be to implement something like this.

An actual news worthy Mac malware story:
http://m.krebsonsecurity.com/2011/05/weyland-yutani-crime-kit-targets-macs-for-bots/
Apparently, this malware toolkit, referred to as "Weyland-Yutani Bot" (WYB), is capable of aiding the production of malware to turn Macs into bots. But, this is not the most dangerous aspect of this toolkit. WYB also facilitates form grabbing, using a man-in-the-browser technique, to collect usernames and passwords during Firefox or Chrome browser sessions. This is basically the Mac version of the Zeus toolkit.
This is a more significant threat than MACDefender, a recent rogue AV malware, because WYB collects data from browser sessions rather than by tricking the user to give up their credit card number. Also, WYB allows more rapid development of malware variants so the amount of malware for Macs will increase at a faster pace as this toolkit and others like it that target Macs become more prevalent.
Malware derived from WYB needs to be installed with elevated privileges to be able to collect sensitive data. The malware uses social engineering to trick users into authenticating installation. As with any malware, suitable exploits could be used to facilitate installation if found.
Privilege escalation exploits are rare in Mac OS X so exploitation is unlikely to be used to completely install WYB based malware. Some degree of social engineering will be part of the installation process. This is also true for Windows malware generated from similar toolkits. But, Windows does have more privilege escalation vulnerabilities so exploitation is more likely to negate the need for social engineering to install malware even in properly configured Windows systems.
The developer of WYB is selling this toolkit for $1000 via internet forums. Let's hope the malware made using this toolkit is not profitable for those that purchase WYB so that developers of such toolkits are not able to maintain a market for their product. The only means to guarantee the lack of success of such malware that relies on social engineering is user knowledge given that AV software is never a complete solution.

thank you for replying! but i think im doing it wrong. i tried to follow the link you had but its not working for me. can you please help walk me through it or anyone else who wants to help me? i started up my mac with the mac os x dvd and went to the disk utility but my bootcamp partition wasnt allowing me to repair it ( grayed out options ).
That link is for getting an OS X install up and running if it won't boot. That link won't work at all for windows. Flopticalcube was talking about putting the windows install DVD into your computer, and running windows startup repair from that disk.
