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/

Nope. It appears their are none available.

Hi all,

Can anyone give me your personal thoughts on the 20" iMac? I'm currently using an old Powermac desktop (It's a 4 -1/2 year old, dual 1 Ghz Quicksilver). If the Intel switch wasn't around the corner, I'd have a new desktop already. My main work is in Photoshop, Illustrator, and occasionally some 3D programs.

Anyway, I was thinking of getting a 20" iMac to hold the fort while I wait. Would I notice any bump in speed for graphics programs? (My desktop has been reliable but occasionally quirky). I'm also considering using the 20" iMac after it's out of date as a TV or as a display at exhibitions to show video or Flash movies of new products.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

I've gotten a g4 imac power supply off ebay before without any hassle but it could be a crapshoot. It seems like these guys sell imac parts- http://www.mac-pro.com/Mac-Pro-Online-Store/G4-iMac-Parts-and-Accessories

I keep reading on various posts that some people use a wet application method on dry films (PS and SGP).

Can you share your techniques and experiences using the wet apply on these films? Also is the adhesion as good as when applied dry?

I am interested since I have never had problems with dust, but I do have problems aligning it properly.



Aslo some questions about the SGP oleophobic:

1. Meltdownblitz mentioned in another thread that now instead of the single large speaker/cam cutout they have two separate ones. Do you have any pics? That single cutout was the only thing keeping me away from the oleo.

2. Why there is no back protector version of the SGP Oleo?

Not sure about your wet apply methods to dry apply films but I do know some people have been doing that. I personally had a friend at Att install my film for me because I am horrible at it. He aligned it perfect and went on easy without dust.

And about your question about the 2 separate cutouts for the oleo film, I'll take a pic for you of mine and edit this post and post it here. I'm still loving my oleo film though. And not to sure why they don't have a back oleo film, I'm sure they will soon though, another company just came out with a oleo back film that larry greenburg just reviewed recently, but if SGP comes out with a oleo back, I'll pick it up.

The only good thing I can say about the new Spymac is that it seems to be a lot faster. Apart from that, I really don't like it. The old layout was better.

I'm hoping it's about phenomenon but I seriously doubt it.

Thanks for posting

Thanks for the review. :)

Not to be pedantic, just ignorant:

I understand that the punctuation marks go inside the quotes (um, not parentheses... maybe you do need him ;)) when part of a quotational reply. However, when used to mark a single word or phrase, it seems as though contemporary "correct" usage allows for the quoted word/phrase to be used as an indivisible object, meaning punctuation would go outside.

But, hey, I'm a programmer geek. I'm happy just to be able to communicate at all.

AP says no. :D

Sorry :p let's hope the 2009 and later macbooks don't start cracking on everybody:(

Yeah hopefully. It's definitely been a slower process than the previous generation MacBooks. And it probably doesn't help that I'm a college student who probably doesn't treat his computer as nice as he should :p

Totally depends on what software you want to run and expected number of users. Also does it have to be OSX?

Mac Pro isn't an ideal full time server since you are spending money on video card, Bluetooth, I/O ports,airport, etc.

1. Go here: http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/

2. Scroll down until you see "iPhone / iPod touch / iPad"

3. Click the drop down menu and look for "iPod Touch __G 3.1.2 7D11" *

4. Download the file and save it somewhere you remember

5. Open iTunes and plug in your iPod Touch normally.

6. Go into the iPod summary page and look for the "Restore button"

7. While holding the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard, click the "Restore" button

8. A window will pop up asking to locate the .ipa (The file you downloaded)

9. Select it and open it. It will now downgrade.

10. Congrats you are now on the faster 3.1.2!

*Fill the blank with the generation number.

If you have a flat back, then it's the first generation (1G)
If you have a curved back, and MB model number, it's the second generation (2G)
If you have a curved back and MC model number, it's the third generation (3G)

All 3.1.2 firmwares will be 7D11.

Hope this helps.

haveu tried reparing permissions? and checking the mic/volume settings? I've been able to use ichat AV, and itunes on with 10.2.6 running perfectly and i have the same computer

Eager to hear some first hand reviews of the new Kinect. I'm still on the fence.

I found this interesting:

Notebook Owners
Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. You can extend your replacement coverage for a defective battery to three years from the date of your notebook purchase with the AppleCare Protection Plan. However, the AppleCare Protection Plan for notebook computers does not cover batteries that have failed or are exhibiting diminished capacity except when the failure or diminished capacity is the result of a manufacturing defect. Apple offers a battery replacement service for MacBook Air and all MacBook Pro notebooks with built-in batteries. You can purchase replacement batteries for late models of Apple notebooks directly from the Apple Store.

So what constitutes defective. Is there are criteria for measuring this that is disclosed or it it up to the repair tech?

The way I view this is that it essentially means 99.99% of the time the battery is not covered.

Wow, it's nice of Apple to provide a little explanation there!
Does this mean they might change the appearance more drastically later, instead of just re-enabling Graphite?

It could mean that, or it could mean they just haven't updated the graphite versions of the buttons/loading bars/etc yet. I would love to see them offer more color options, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being just blue and graphite again. :o

thats about when I plan on getting there too, I didn't think a night out on Park Ave was a good idea...

iGary, I think you do need the help. I mean, just look at your signature. ;)

To me, winning an eighth Tour will do nothing to dispel the rumors of Lance doping in '99. Spite would be best served by digging up some dirt on the French press and embarrassing them with it.

Okay, so I've restored the drive to one partition, but now when i try to download the window support software I get an error message telling me "the support software is not available".

Surely it's not usually this difficult?

Reminds me of Soundsmith on the Apple IIgs. How I miss that program and all the songs I made with it.

Calibrating your battery is just that. It will not improve battery life, it will only make you percentage more accurate.

Play with your settings, restore as new or take it in for a checkup. Those are your options.

This is a new one I have never seen. This happens in both Safari and Firefox, so I am assuming it is an issue with my computer. Starting a few days ago, I noticed these little yellow tool tips or popup boxes appear with news clips. You can not click on it and they only show up when you refresh or start a new page. It does not happen always when you over over a hyperlink either!!

This is the strangest thing I have seen and I can not find anything online about this. I am annoyed by this and have no idea how to make it stop!

Any advice??
