Posting this from my new 27" iMac, purchased from Best Buy!
I got the lower base 27" model for $1615 + tax, so I'm pretty happy. The $85 I saved will pay for an extra 8GB of RAM :) Going to have some dev VMs running on this sucker with no problems.

I got mine ordered as well! i went with the high end 27", with the sale going on it cost me $2038 including tax. i read a forum post on macrumors that said that the imacs are having issues with screen yellowing. i'm starting to worry about it a little bit haha

holy crap you're a genious :) it actually started computing now i think, though it errored out right away with an 'unstable machine' error. first time its gotten that far at least. here's the log
it was trying to use core_15 earlier which was probably the issue. i wasn't forcing it with g80. i'm still not sure from those linux instructions what all we need to do on os x with the wine dll wrapper and stuff though. maybe its not actually seeing the card who knows. thanks for the help:)
looks like it might be an issue with the nvidia cuda driver and 10.6.5? http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=185332
well hey, it seems you are getting somewhere! yeah if you have a core_15, you gotta delete the everything except the fah app and the dll files, and it will download a new core_11.
don't give up! you might be able to get there!

Are "some people" your parents? It's relatively easy to fake a broken computer without actually harming it if you think about it -- but your request sounds sketchy to me.
The new i5 13 inch MBP performs better at some games and worse at others when comparing them to the previous generation. It's a compromise Apple had to make with this generation in order to get the Sandy Bridge processors. If gaming is important to you and money is tight I'd go for a PC with discrete graphics.

I was given some Harman Kardon soundsticks for Christmas but they stopped working after 3 months, and they were too quiet anyway. Can anyone recommend some 2.1 speakers that do not pick up mobile phone interference please?
TIA

The late 2008 models run with Core 2 Duos, right? I don't think Core 2 Duos use DD3. They use DDR2, which would mean that you wouldn't be able to use it in your old MBP. Just look under "About this Mac" and it should say what memory it uses.
Yes. I'm 101% sure that my Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro has a Core 2 Duo processor in it. Later models of the Core 2 Duo processor is capable of DDR3. As long as the OP has a 2008 unibody MBP, it should work alright. I'm not sure if there are compatibility issues with the 1333mhz ram, though.

Forget Parallels, VMWARE Fusion is much easier to use and less buggy.
The OP claimed Parallels 7 was already installed in the first post.
marshallbedsaul, read the Parallels documentation or find a guide (http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/02/02/how-to-install-windows-7-in-os-x-using-parallels-desktop-a-complete-walkthrough/). Installing and using Windows within Parallels will be FAR easier that what you were trying to do in your first post.

The mediocre (at best) games keep rolling in... I hadn't been looking at this game so i'm not that disappointed at it but more the Wii market in general. Also on the IGN wii page is their less review of Cooking Mama which got a similar score, 5.8 overall. While i expected this score, the game had tons of potential to be great.
It really is a sad time for the wii right now. I haven't touched mine except for once in about 2 weeks... I borrowed my friend's excite truck and didn't find it too fun, Red Steel that i lent him was entertaining for a bit but i lost interest, beat Zelda, and conquered much of Wii Sports. What else is there? A bunch of lousy games with decent playability and lousy graphics but nothing thrilling. Until Paper Mario comes out i don't even really think i'll play Wii all that much! It's just not captivating me like it should and it's sad.
Come on developers, stop making games with half-ass graphics and weak playability. Look at games like RE on the GC and the type of graphics you can do on last gen machines, it's time to actually TEST the machine!

^Awesome to hear, thanks for the update. It seems like an SSD is a no-brainer if one wants to do an upgrade. I've used a few SSDs in netbooks and some PCs and the difference always amazes me.
Planning on picking up a Mini at some point and putting an SSD.. looks like its quite the process. Wish it was easier to do in an iMac as well.

Yes it is. My background is a light grey colour so it shows up on that. And the fact that I know it's there means my eyes are drawn to it.
Best of luck trying to get it replaced, but don't expect them to do it mate.

Under the iChat preferences on the Video tab, at the bottom there is an option for audio from the internal mic or Line-in. It may say none too if you don't have an internal I think.

So you pay some money to Sony and you get access to bonus things? That sounds an awful lot like paying for a service.
again the person i was replaying to seems to think that this will be like XBL and have to pay online this is just a Premium option that will expand features on the PSN. and yes this was confirmed http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/sonys-kaz-hirai-confirms-premium-level-subscription-coming-to/

These "sellers" on Amazon are already guaranteeing one, at a price:

I wish I can just go and get one for my videogame system collection, like I did for the XBox Halo edition - I just walked into a store. No eBay sellers to compete with, etc.
Now with "resellers" - forget it...:(

Congress appears to disagree with the President
You mean, the Republicans appear to disagree with the President.
Shocker.
And as a previous poster said, they are wrong. I'd love to know the marital status' of all of those supporting the DOMA. I wonder how many divorces they have between them.

I have read all the threads, links, and intimations. Some of the links are a bit dated.
What is the best format to record video on that plays nicely with the MAC?
I need to shoot some video content for my website and get it edited up for use.
Thanks.

I was wondering if we could get an iOS forum as well, since there's one for Mac OS X, and none specifically for iOS (unless i'm blind). It seems that a lot of people are talking about iOS updates in the iPhone or iPad or iPod Touch forums.
What do you guys think?
People discuss iOS in general when there's a news story about it (in the matching discussion thread) or from a programming point of view (for which there's a forum). Otherwise, they post about it in the forum for the device they are using. The question is whether they'd really switch to discussing it in a single iOS forum. I think some people would use the new forum but many others would not, so we'd end up further fragmenting those discussions. But you need a crystal ball to know these things for certain.

Okay, I'm no newbie but I am stumped on this. Just got a new iPad 1. It came loaded with 3.2.2 (blow out pricing at Verizon). From all my reading, I can't jb this firm version. So, I dl'd the iPad 1,1 4.2.1.ipsw file so I could utilize the Greenp0is0n app (which, I gather 'used to' work on 3.2.2 but now requires 4.2.1). I shift-click (PC) to install that and Apple won't let me (natch, cuz it isn't 4.3.1). Since this is new, with unbreakable current firmware, I have no shsh blobs I can reference saved. So, changing the hostfile won't help me as there is nothing a cydia I can retrieve.
Question, in short, what do I need to do to jb this? :confused:
