Try a Thinkpad T-series. Best-built for the money, with user-replaceable parts (try finding that on most machines today), and a keyboard that puts all others to shame.

ThinkPad displays suck, otherwise a nice computer. Huge mistake on Lenovo's behalf imo.

Answers:

Will the proximity sensor work?

It depends, there are companies who know how to fix it and there are companies who do not. I have the five star shaped screws and in most cases with these screws, the proximity usually never works. Mine on the other hand works flawlessly so once again do your research and see which company can resolve that issue.

Will the earpiece work?

Im not even sure why people are heaving earpiece problems, i was watching the whole process of my iPhone being converted (Asking questions, being nosy, and annoying) and there nothing to do with the ear speaker being connected, removed, or disconnected. I do see something that might be a problem, the new speaker mesh i have in my white kit has glue on it so it might clog it up later on with dust.

Are these faulty in all white conversions?

You need to do your research and you have to really go into detail with each of these companies. If i was you, i would not trust anything below $200 unless its a kit.

How bad is the camera really?

I think over the time that i have been on these forums, i have heard so many issues with the camera and primarily because people forget to remove a film on the back or on the camera lens it self. Camera should not be an issue unless you're missing the flash diffuser, if you miss that then most likely you will have white bleed through. The only way a part can be missing a diffuser is if its really cheap quality.

Hope this helps

very well... I made the mistake of learning on WYSIWYG and now i'm kicking myself for not being more intimate with it....

THEN

learn flash... people want it, plain and simple, but nothing beats the foundations...HTML.

I find the whole Flash scene to be nuts. I block flash at my browser because so much of it just ads anyway.

plz brands. going to order tomorrow from my friend.

I bought a new one for $399 under a renewed contract, Then i went home and had some Pancakes.

Its still here. But you need to have a minimum number of posts before you can post or view it. I think the minimum is 250 or 500 posts.

When you access the track editor there should be a checkbox to follow tempo and pitch, see if it's checked, if so uncheck it.

I (technically) have to be at work at 9:30 although I've informed most of my co-workers I might be late. Anyone from previous Apple events at the grove have any idea how long the line can be? I was in Boston for iPhone 1.0. Anyone planning to go to an ATT store for faster service?

I really like the griffin elevator but im looking for one where i can use the laptop comfortably while its not connected to a different screen

Has anybody powered an FW800 drive from an FW400 port?

Because the time I tried to power FW400 from FW800 it didn't work.

There are so many threads on this general topic, that, ugh, please just search for them? But on the specific issue of TBE not working on your Mac, what do you mean? This sounds abnormal. I use FF and love it on my Mac. And I have TBE, and it works fine. The only thing that's flaky for me in TBE is closing FF and re-starting and having tabs resurrected on restart. That has never worked properly for me on PC or Mac. But TBE behaves the same for me on both OSes.

OTOH, I definitely do agree that a number of themes behave strangely on FF/Mac. Try Safarish -- http://www.aroussi.com/article/11/firefox-osx-safari-look -- if you like the way Safari *looks*. NOIA Xtreme worked pretty well for me on my Mac too.

Seagate, or anything well reviewed WITH A COMPARABLE WARRANTY (which you won't find, so get a Seagate)

Hello Everyone on Macrumors,

Just wanted to say that I am running a Developer Preview of Mac OS X Lion and it is pretty cool. There are a few bugs here and there but otherwise it works great. Has all the features that they Demoed in the Keynote in October (those are the big ones) they also changed the look of all the buttons (They look cool and more modern because the buttons have been the same since 10.0)

If anyone wants to ask me anything about it I will be happy to answer any questions

Posting a Screen Shot of one of my favorite features.

Macdude2010, in the Text-to-Speech menu under Lion, is there a pre-assigned keyboard shortcut for having the computer speak a preselected text? In SL, one selects the keyboard combination when activating this feature in the Speech Preference Pane under System Preferences. There is no preassigned key in SL.

HTC 16 Megapixel handset incoming? (http://www.t3.com/news/htc-16-megapixel-windows-phone-7-handset-incoming?=55525)

Hopefully they wont ruin it by putting cheap, knock-off lenses in.

Well one thing that was discovered later after a lot of the reviews was people were not remove the little plastic film over them. They assumed incorrectly that because there was a cut or for it that it was not on there. After you remove the the plastic film it worked great. (film is a lot like the plastic one on the iPhone when you first get it)

Yes a keyboard will be useful but the most important thing in a studio is sound. If you can't hear what you're doing it's so frustrating. If you're just starting out you may think that having ok sound will do the trick but it won't be long before you're not sure if you're hearing your mix or your speakers when you're mixing on bad speakers. I'd much rather make house music with good sound than a keyboard.

For good speakers, you're looking for near field monitors, they differ from standard speakers in that they try to reproduce accurately the sound you feed them, standard speakers try to "sound good". There's a pretty big difference between the two, sounding good usually means a compressed sound with not a lot of middle frequencies. For house, you'll probably want a sub.

Either way, a keyboard is nice to have, if you don't have any previous experience with keyboards, you might as well just get the 25 key (get it velocity sensitive especially useful for drums). M-audio have a pretty good value.

yeah but this is why i suggested he gets a set of klipsch promedia 2.1 speakers, which are thx certified and fairly accurate (good for checking mixes).

but for his main mixing he can use sennhesier hd280 pro headphones.

plus bottom end in house is a major concern, and he is not going to be able to afford a good enough set of monitors thats going to hit the lows he wants. cheap monitors do not get very loud nor have much bottom end to them which is why i got the klipsch and sennhesier headphones until i can afford a good set of monitors.

edit: plus hes obviously not insanely serious about production just yet which just further justifies my suggestion.

A service bureau is way to expensive in the long run. I have over 25,000 slides of my Grandfather's to scan for a gallery show/book next year. Getting them pro-scanned would break the bank. I think I'll be buying a couple of dedicated slide scanners. I'm leaning towards Nikon's scanners - that digitalICE software is great.

I'm looking for a nice skin or slim case for my MBP. My bag I use is well protected but I'd like something to protect it from maybe something at my desk falling on it.

Any ideas?

I saw some people just took the Leopard T-shirts and left the store.

How to: Download YouTube videos in Safari (http://mac.blorge.com/2010/03/04/how-to-download-youtube-videos-in-safari/)

Yup, found that while googling but it doesn't seem to work when using YouTube 5.

We should stop talking about this so much. As it is, when I close my eyes tonight, I'm pretty sure I'm going to see iMeowbot's avatar. :eek:

I have found what I feel is a great solution for people with slower G4's or people that just want the site to stop hogging all their CPU. I recently discovered a great free app called "Mactubes" and have quickly fallen in love with it. Using this on my G4 1.8GHz I have watched video of all different quality/resolution and the CPU consumption ranges from 17-36%. The even better thing is that you can watch, search and download every video on youtube without ever going to the website. Gives you a great player window also that makes it much more like watching vids in VLC or something.

These results I speak of require one specific setting in the apps preferences..

1. Download Mactubes here. (http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/28608/mactubes) It supports 10.4.2+

2. Launch it then open preferences. Set the player type to Quicktime like the image I have attached shows. The window mentions near the bottom you need Safari 4+ but that is only for the "Video player" mode which uses html5 but without actually launching Safari. QT player setting uses even less CPU.

I have also tried the flash and video player setting and they use more CPU. The quicktime interface takes flash out of the equasion all together which is amazing. Virtually every video on youtube is a lowres h.264 with a flash (.flv) wrapper. The QT setting ignores the wrapper and plays the h.264. Even a G4 400+ can play low res h.264 without the flash crap.

Please share your results if you try this. :)

Enough. :rolleyes:

The marketplace is not the soapbox.

you can also run two instances of folding on a machine with hypertreading, that could possibly be more easy.
