Anyone knows how the GeForce 7600 GT compares to the Radeon X1X00 series?
Similar to the X1800 GT?
Must be better/faster than the X1600....
On par with x1800, about twice as fast as x1600.

I use one with my MacBook Pro, I just feel it is cleaner and easier to use than a mouse and more convenient than the MacBook's (when at a desk).
Huh, easier is usually the word I'd never think I'd hear when a trackpad is compared to a mouse. I may have to play with one...

Well, I certainly have a "problem" with the notion that a publicly funded military needs to be maintained in order to protect privately owned enterprises, who by their own free will have set up operations in foreign countries, often at the expense of American jobs.
Amen.
And no matter how mighty our military, it seems irrelevant when the commercial interests are in stable, sovereign nations. In unstable nations, we really have no business injecting our military on account of this notion, unless part of a larger peacekeeping force.*
*Please note that I am suggesting that the peacekeeping force should require our participation as an equal member of a team - the peacekeeping force should not be an afterthought solely used for validating an American military action.

He can take a screen capture of a widget in the dock (I could photoshop that in seconds) yet when it comes down to iChat all he can say is "The interface is different, I can't explain why it just is?" No screen caps? Riiiiiiight.

The closest apple store to my town (population 48k) is over a hour away - we have two radio shacks. How is this low? an elitist much? This is great! - Ipad 2's are the same price everywhere, except AAFES where its $10 cheaper and tax free. - Now many people can save their hard earned money as gas approaches $4 a gallon under this administration. Besides some people have radio shack credit cards -and earn rewards. They may prefer to buy from there.
Oh you poor people paying $4 a gallon � We pay over DOUBLE that in the UK.
I do agree with saving money where possible though , and I don't think it matters where you buy a product as long as you are happy!

Users don't care about flash, they care about websites. Some site developers seem to care more about Flash than about their users. Therefore, we get crappy Flash "websites" that don't work for the users. Who is at fault here? The developer.
your argument is subjective. while i agree with you that some flash sites can be a bit heavy, there are a lot that work very well. some even have quicker load time that static HTML/Javascript/CSS/Images. here's a site i've developed earlier this year which i like to believe is fairly light weight (http://www.deskguise.com) (click the character's nose!), it allows for back/forward, deep linking and SEO functionality, while including animations that are currently not possible with HTML/CSS.
HTML/CSS will not compete with flash in the future. however, WebGL certainly will. WebGL is going to be great!
It's the developer's job to use technologies that will be future-proof and well, not suck.
technologies change all the time and the best developers learn how to adapt to the constant change using the best production tools they can. so while (as i mentioned) WebGL will give adobe a run for their money, it's unlikely that adobe will simply quit development for flash, which by the way has been around since the mid 90s. flash will only become more advanced.

This makes perfect sense - it fits in well with Apple's iPod/iTMS business model.
I have a ton of eBooks, but i never end up reading a lot of them as I dont like sitting infront of a computer to read them. I was just thinking the other day how i wanted someone to make a stylish, lighweight eBook reader that i could take with me and view in public without looking like an uber dork reading my laptop on the bus etc.
I think Apple may be able to pull this one off. Hopefully the support current formats like .pdf and .chm (also .cbr for comic books) so that i can use my own stuff, as well as some DRM'd apple format for the iTMS content. Much like how we have mp3 and aac support for the audio.
Please apple, something lighweight, long battery life, thin and portable, scratch-resistant, and super high res/high contrast screen (OLED/eInk?).
:)
edit: also magazine support for those macworlds I have in the Zinio reader format would be awesome

Perfect � Not Only Is Vista Frickin' Buggy Inferior � It Cost $110 More Too :eek:
Leopard will eat Vista for breakfast. :)
But then again, you could run it on dirt-cheap generic PC, whereas Leopard needs a Mac.

oh my... will the nano do ebooks?
Dear God! i hope not! That would practically be an exercise in utter futility!
Good thing my upgrade cycle is coming along... Hmmmm... wait for the 4 core Conroe or not... :D
This large screen iPod (Newton 2? ;-) has potential to become many many things... Interesting times we live in.

Oh come on... wireless ipods make so much sense...think of the iTv,would deffinately go good with a wireless ipod,and a sharing option wouldnt be so bad too.As a uni student the itunes share function was really good for when i wanted to listen to new music that i would have otherwise never listened to.Oh and the whole chick thing...man you have to be pretty lame to try and pull a chick with either of the options lol wireless or wired,tech rarely pulls anything lol

No, it will most likely be shown on apples sight 2 hours after its ending however MR will keep up with the details of the event.

is this really a big deal?
Seriously, The Beatles were great, I would think by now most people have their songs.I'm often surprised to meet a new Beatles fan who "inherited" their interest from their parents. And the publicity surrounding an iTunes debut would add to that interest.
I wonder if they'll have a "complete catalog" package?

Really like this one Jason. The lighting is right on, and I love the concept of the photo. The fact that your model is stunningly beautiful doesn't hurt either.
May I ask as to the strobes you're using, and how you have them placed? I have a two light strobe system but am still learning to place them for greatest effect.

They kept the same pixel size as from before, but made the sensor larger to increase the number of pixels. It's also uses backlit illumination, per Steve Jobs.
