I find it quite amusing that so many people think MS is doomed. Especially since they are killing VPC. I don't think it was or ever will be a big revenue maker for MS, so it probably cost them more to keep it around then to shelve it.
I certainly think it would be great to see them lose about 40% of their desktop market share to OS X and Linux, but if that ever happens, it wont be a long time to come. All this MS is doomed and has messed up crap is nuts. Funny, but nuts.

Searching for a used MacBook with CS5 MS already installed (they are out there, but I semi question the legitimacy of some as they have no media included, just preinstalled), and I am starting to also question on whether finding one with CS5 is really important if my main purpose is to learn Xcode, write iPad apps, and teach my oldest girl how to do the same. For those of you with CS5, how useful is it for App creation? What other applications should I be looking at with those goals? I have found I can get a decent 2.4ghz dual core with 4GB ram plus HD for around $400 (without CS5). Thanks!
You don't need the Master Suite at all. There might be an argument for getting Photoshop and Illustrator but anything else is a complete waste of time.
Having said that if you ever plan on branching out into web development the Master Suite becomes more useful (although personally I'd go with Web Premium in that case).

I'd like to get a new 17" MBP and I'm wondering what the verdict is on SSD's... are third-party drives still a better option than the ones that come stock from Apple? If so, which brand/model is best? Also, what's the status with TRIM support and garbage collection in all this? Does Apple's current OS/hardware have either of these yet? If not, will Lion have TRIM support?
I have 4 SSD's.
A 256 GB OWC, in a 2007 BMB.A 64GB OWC in a 2008 BMB, both are mission critical, and I run my business with them.
I also have 2- 1.6 GHZ 4/64 11" refurb MBA's, that I am in the process of installing 360GB OWC Aura's in each.(one more to buy)
All OWC SSD's have performed as advertised, and have been problem free.
I have spoken with Hellhammer, and he has advised against the hack to enable TRIM on each, I
believe Apple supports garbage collection, on their own drives,but not others, but Lion will
support Trim, so I am waiting for Lion before I activate the MBA's
I have been very happy with all RAM, and SSD's purchased from OWC.:cool:

I purchased a new western digital my passport essential external drive.
It keeps powering down/ejecting on it's own.
It's the kind that is powered by the USB ports on your computer.
I formatted it with fat32 but I also tried Mac formatting and it did not matter.
I'm using it on a late 2008 MacBook pro.
I tried a different USB cable with no benefit.
It shuts down at what seems like random intervals.
Any ideas on what this can be?
Thanks.

I was at the ATL airport teaching a training class for our employees. We heard something about a plane and checked CNN online, from there is all went downhill fast. I remember calling to check on friends at other airports to make sure they were OK. I had friends at JFK, and EWR that were all very involved.
Being a the busiest airport in the world when all of the planes were grounded was very bizarre. I went up to the Tower and there were planes everywhere on the ground, but none were taking off or landing, which is absolutely unheard of in ATL.
I knew that day that my life was changed forever, and that our industry was in a fight for its life. The airlines have never recovered, and may never. Not just because of 9/11 itself, but fuel (which is a by product) and other factors.
We will probably file bankruptcy this week, and more job cuts and pay cuts are coming.

Start the bidding at $100 and see where it goes. People love original 1st and 2nd get iPods. I know I've seen some used 5GB models sell for about that and they were a little rough. Otherwise I would just recommend watching some similar ones on eBay to see what the auctions end at.

I'm not sure, if you check around there are some other threads about this topic, you might want to check w/ Dell or Viewsonic too.
Sometimes you hear about blurring issues when people use LCD monitors as TVs, I don't know if it's a refresh rate issue but on my Dad's 19" Sony LCD w/ a PC tv tuner card the image is alright but nothing spectacular.

How tall is the stand? Could be the stand height plus the height the iMac display is at. Try just removing the monitor stand and have the iMac on the desk by itself since the chin of the iMac sort of raises the viewing of it a bit

I would like the 3d fad to be just that....a fad. It gives me headaches, as does virtual reality. Spend the extra dough to make a better game, not 3d that does nothing for the product...like Avatar.

I agree with what some posters have said in that this new device might not be a 6th Gen iPod, but a seperate device for those of us who want video, games etc.
Then there would be a choice of iPod for those who just want music, and ...er... 'vPod' for the people who want more of an iLife-portable.
That would certainly satisfy a lot of people with such a choice.
MA.

1.) Is it possible to search Google from the address bar in Safari like how it is in Chrome? If so, how?
I don't think so. The google search is right next to the address bar. I personally like this better since it retains the last search entry even if you go to a different address.
2.) Is it possible to remove the Google search search bar on the top right of Safari? If so, how?
Yes, goto menu View -> Customize toolbar and make things the way you want.
3.) What are Keychains?
Keychains are a Mac OS X native mechanism for storing passwords. Goto /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access to view and modify your stored passwords.
4.) Is it possible to make the tabs in safari have a bigger "x" so that they're easier to close? If so, how?
Not that I know of.
5.) Is it possible to move the new tab button right next to the last currently open tab? If so, how?
You can click on a tab title and drag and move it anywhere in the tab bar. Is that what you are asking?

Interesting, I use Westpac (although I'm in NZ, not Australia), and I haven't had any problems whatsoever with Safari.
With both Mozilla and Safari (don't know about Firefox), there are undocumented procedures to enable a "debug" menu which will (among other things) let you configure the browser to lie about its identity.
In many cases (but not all), this is enough to make an unfriendly web site work. Many times, the site contains scripts that simply check a browser version, even when the actual page content will run everywhere else.

I was at work. People were talking about the first plane crash so I ran to the cafeteria to see the second plane hit on TV. I must have sat there and watch it for an hour or so. Eventually, they sent everyone home because no one was getting any work done.
One lucky coworker of mine was on a plane that was forced to land in Hawaii. He got to spend 3-4 days in Hawaii on the company dime.
Another unlucky coworker was on a plance that was forced to land in Winnepeg, Canada. They kept everyone on the plane for 8 hours. They only unloading the plane when the toilets started to back up. Everyone was herded in a room where they had to stay for ~24 hours.

thanks for the response!
can you recommend a brand of switch?
I am seeing numerous options in the $25-$50 range, are these good quality or does something more expensive work better?

you could always focus your site on the powerpc aspect of macs, since that is your domain name, just an idea though
otherwise, its totally up to you, if you put a lot of effort into the site and everything it might end up being another great mac community, who knows
its up to you in the long run what you want to do with it though....just remember to have fun no matter what, otherwise it really isnt worth it if you ask me

This is getting ridiculous. Seems like every day we are getting new reports from different analysts GUESSING when the believe the phone will be introduced.
Um, that's their job. An analyst is supposed to do research in order to make educated guesses about the future behaviour and performance of a company...

I recently discovered Pages. I think it's a great app and well worth the money...but not as a Word Processor. I use Pages as a budget version of Adobe InDesign. When I want just straight text, I stick to Word.
Excel, however, is a different matter. The line of work that I'm in has just implemented an Excel solution to help our customers fine prices on items (over 4000 items)....This relies heavily on VBA scripting to work, and I've already had some incapatibilities that if it weren't for me (as the Mac guy) wouldn't have gotten solved and left Mac users behind.
So Numbers/Lasso/Charts/whatever will likely be fairly useless to me withouth VBA. And yes, I'm aware that MS is dropping Mac support of VBA, and yes, it does make me very angry..
