Top-10 positions are all well and good, but I want to see some real hord-core unit figures that fully show the penetration the iMac G5 is having.
Obviously I won't get that, but it's what I want anyway.
Pointless rant aside, it is pleasing.

I use the MX1000 and it's a great mouse. I also use a Logitech Mouseman Dual Optical (has 2 optical sensors), which is much better for quick response use (ie games), but for general desktop use I prefer the MX1000.

Hmmm... the low lite thing is a little troublesome, as I plan on mostly recording my and the guys I play with on gigs. Sometimes the lighting's not too great.
I wonder if the Zi8 is any better? Similar feature set but without the waterproofing.
They don't really give much specific information about the lens on the Zx3 on the Kodak website...
I think you'd be better off with a real camcorder. They have much bigger sensors/lenses and hence better low light performance.

What kind of movie would you be watching where it would be useful to be hands free? :p
BAHAHAHA!!!! :D Priceless reply!
Don't know if I'd ever buy or use it, but you have to hand it to the guy for marketing it. It's like something I'd see at my kid's science fair! :p

Same here! I was using an app that provided me 20% on a merchandise and the sales asked me how I got it on my "iPhone." :rolleyes::D
what was the app? sounds interesting.

I received a $20 PlatStation Network card the other day and I spent $5 of it on LittleBigPlanet DLC. I'm trying to find a game I would like on the PlayStation store for under $15. What would you guys recommend?

Will I be able to put the retail version on a flash drive? Because my dvd drive is pretty much busted.
Yes, I did the same for my flatmate's 1st gen MacBook whose drive is also bust.
Would it be possible just to clone my Macbook 6,1 HDD and restore it to the HDD on the 1,1?
I'm not sure if this can be done without any problems.

just an update.. I thought best buy was supposed to be doing the ticket system at 10am ?
I just called them and I was told that she cannot confirm on any of it .. except that iPads are being released tomorrow
arrrgh
no concrete information even though launch is less than 24 hours away?
sheesh
apple store @ pacific centre said they are doing ipads at 5 but don't know the quantity/stock ...
this is so frustrating I should've just gotten the ipad from the states last week or something
i guess they do, it's just marketing.

I heard you just wasted 5 minutes of my life. Had to respond to even make that time worth it.
Yeah. Same, instead of actually wasting my time, I'm going to say no.
There will be no red iPhone Pro released anytime soon. Certainly not this year.

Hi everyone
Ever since I saw a 12" PB more than a decade ago I've been fascinated by it. I never bought one because at the time I didn't have the money for it but I'm now considering buying one just to have it (sounds odd perhaps but why not; it's a beautiful piece of equipment and why not save them for posterity?).
I am not very familiar with Tiger and the earlier OSs and therefore wanted to run Leopard on it. I've read posts here and also articles at Lowendmac about Leopard performance on the 12" PB. It seems that performance would be "ok", at least for less intensive tasks (like video editing and encoding).
So I'm wondering what upgrades (well, beyond adding RAM) are available for the 12" PB (processors, logic boards, harddrives etc) these days?
/p

Ok, listing everything would take far too long, but last year i bought a lot of ibook pieces from another member here, picked out what i needed and fiddled with some of it.. and now I am going to be moving in a few weeks and want to get some of it cleared out.
ALSO - any of the bottom or lcd cases can be dyed or custom painted (inside for g3s and outside for g4s) before being shipped off to you for an extra 20 for g4 painting 30 for g3 painting (have to remove the white paint on the inside takes longer and more supplies) and 40 for dye - as it takes a lot longer and dye costs the most.
See my website http://web.mac.com/katyelizabeth -> other art - computers to see examples of painting!
I have TONS of 12inch ibook g3 and g4 top cases
a few bottom cases of both as well and a FEW 14inch ibook g3 cases
They are in various stages of painting, some painted, some plain , some clear, some primed, some normal - bunch of experiments
I have 3 batteries, all hold a charge, but some less then others
i have a powerbook 12 inch battery that holds a bit of a charge
some logic boards with various problems
screws gallore!
inner frames gallore!
3 harddrives 10gb and 20gb
a semi working optical drive
Random bits of ram
Cables, cords, random bits
fans, more cables,
KEYBOARDS (g3 ibooks) AND topcases (trackpad etc) (from both g3 AND g4 12inchers and i think a 14incher in there for a g3)
An original airport card SOLD
hinge covers, a complete top case with LCD - may or may not be functioning, looks to be in good shape though.
thin metal sheets that go in side and over the back of the top cases and more...
I have a bunch of other stuff, and will post some pictures of the piles... but if you have an ibook g3 or g4 and are looking for a replacement part or just want something from one of them, let me know, i probably have it!
PM me an offer or drop one here with what you want and your offer (including shipping please)

What about this one (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002B3E5U/ref=cm_mp_wli_/026-4247034-3749250) from Amazon.co.uk ? - no audio but only about �30.
Thats absolutely perfect Steve!! I'll order it as soon as I get in from work :)
Thanks for all your help guys.
:EDIT: i took the plunge and bought it, i'll let you know how i get on. I never think of checking amazon for computer goods! I still think of Amazon as a Book/Music/DVD store!

1) The ongoing offer (open every day, a lot of stock) can be seen as a hidden price cut.
2) Clearing out stock may be a sign of updates coming... :rolleyes:

Hey everyone,
I read most threads in this forum about overheating, but it turned out that's not at all a concern in a daily basis. What is a concern, however, is the instant fan noise whenever the laptop gets under load.
It is constant when running games (always at 6000 rpm). I've tried Call of Duty IV, and Starcraft II. Also Crysis II via Boot Camp.
It may happen under Facetime.
It may happen if you leave a flash animation running in a tab.
it may happen with AirVideo Server (serving to an iPod).
Turns out there's really no middle ground for this fan. It is either audible, or isn't. With 2000 rpm you know it's there, but frankly that's barely a concern. Sometimes it turns on suddenly and goes to maximum speed in seconds, stays there for a minute or two, then drops down.
So I guess that ANY heavy load will come with fan noise. Here's what I need to ask then.
- Is this a given for Sandy Bridge?
- Do you have this kind of noise in your C2D MacBooks (Air included)?
- Is it better when you have more fans involved (larger MBP's, iMacs..)?
Like I said, it hasn't been that much a concern for most uses, because they stay under the radar. The MBP gets hot but that's not even a problem. What I get is there is a clear threshold between what you can do (silently) and what produces noise. I stopped playing games because I really cannot do with that much noise. Turns out the GPU can roll with a lot of games, but I thought the noise wasn't included. Plus I'm afraid I'll damage the laptop if the fan is on for so long.
I'm thinking I'd rather have lower processing power and silent operation. I can take a longer iPhoto import if I don't hear this fan. Help?

camera stabilizer would be awesome... im on a cheap budget..
If you're on a budget then look into a DIY stabilizer. Google or check out the DIY section of DVXUser for advice/instructions. It shouldn't be too hard to get something decent to control such a small camera.
