Site looks ok but seems more aimed at a young professional than someone wanting to out tech there kids.
Optimise your images and JavaScript the page is very slow.
Even just a quick save to web from Photoshop CS5 on header_ip.png took it from 332KB to 33KB with no visible quality reduction. Other images are also large in file size for what they are that could do with improvement.
The page is also making far to many requests for my liking, once again optimise by combining images ether into composites, sprites(for nav. Better still replace with css styling.), and combine your JavaScripts into one minified file.

I've got a 1G 5GB iPod, still in good working condition. I really don't use it much anymore, so i'm looking to sell it. If anyone's interested, make me an offer. I'd be willing to do some sort of trade as well.

In my experience I just want one source that will familiarize myself with a particular API, just to let me know what's available and the common classes and uses. Then from there it's just a matter of reading the documentation to work with the specific uses I have in mind. For objective-C it was the first few chapters of Hillegass, then for iOS it was the Stanford Courses on iTunes U, and for cocos2d it was this book.
The thing with programming books is that they become outdated pretty quickly, so the documentation is going to be a better place to find information. What I do find useful about programming books is to point me in the right direction to get started. For example with cocos2d I learned the basic building blocks CCNode, CCScene, CCLayer, CCSprite, CCDirector. Then once I knew those classes existed, I knew where to look in the documentation to write my own code.

Yeah, I read both links but still don't really know what's going on haha. All I know is that it is for a good cause, so I'm down. Plus, their not testing on animals so it's a big plus for me.

I agree that they'd be better off bundling iWork while it only consists of Pages and Keynote, as a taster for the eventual suite-scale upgrade. I have absolutely no use for Keynote anyway, so as far as I'm concerned, the money is just for Pages, which is not much of a sweetener compared with the Educational version of Office.

Asleep on a buddies futon in LA. He came in, woke me up, told me what happened and turned on the TV. He saw 2nd plane hit the tower live and that's when he woke me up.
I basically stayed glued to the news and internet sites/forums the whole day.

I don't know specifically about the jailbreak but I'm guessing that if you go in to the Apple store for your broken home button, they will give you a different phone (refurb).
That may make this a moot question.

Glad somebody posted about this. He was an amazing talent for sure, though frequently overshadowed by former bandmate David Sylvian.
He also played bass on a Kate Bush album and put out quite a few solo records. The Dalis Car record was a fascinating fiasco but Karn and Murphy were in discussions to produce a sequel this year. Unfortunately they were trying to put it together after Karn received his cancer diagnosis.
It's a shame he and Sylvian fell out and could never really work out their personal differences. The Japan "reunion" (Rain Tree Crow) in the early 90s produced some underrated material and I would have loved to hear more of it.
I was a huge Japan fan in high school, though that was in the mid-to-late 80s so I never did see the full band perform live. At least there's a lot of YouTube clips out there.
RIP Mick

Want to put up a 4-disk RAID5 array (not to boot off, just storage, boot drive will be from an SSD) into the 4x drive bays on the Mac Pro 5,1 and don't want to use the Apple RAID card that takes advantage of the internal drive channels as I herd bad things about it the apple card and its not too hot on specs either.
So I am pondering whether to go for something like the:
ARC-1880LP
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Areca/ARC1880LP/
With this card I'll have 4x 3TB drives in RAID5 and 2x SSD in 5"25 with Multi-mount adapter. Will probably have to use the two onboard SATA2 ports for the SSD's considering there's only one set SATA power/data connector set left that I can use that was intended for the ODD. Or is there more sata/power connectors there or can I buy/connect more?
Or use something like the Areca ARC-1880-ix-12 that can be connected to some 12x internal drives via SAS expanders. With this card I can connect both the 4x 3TB HDD RAID5 volume and 2x 6G SSD (non-raid) to it at same time.
Does anyone have any experience with any of the above cards? e.g ease of setting up, bugs, reliability etc. Also does it get messy cable wise when you don't use the apple raid card and run the SAS expanders to the drives? How did you go about flashing the card to EFI firmware ?
Which other 6G RAID cards can you recommend that I can connect 4x HDD in RAID5 and 2x 6G SSD's (non-raid) to, if there's a good one that takes advantage of internal drive channels it would be a plus.

Hey guys -
I narrowed my choices down to these two. Just need a little more input to make my final decision. Thanks all.

Could you drop a URL ?
Here's (http://www.artists-first.net/) one if you're interested in selling music yourself. Mostly indie acts on there, linking from their own web pages. 320kbps MP3 is common.

I see you are back in full force. I have been avoiding the whole 6G thing since the performance of most multichannel cards with standard drives is fine. If you are running an array based on SSD drives then I can see the value at this time, but no mechanical drive is going to max out 3G (SATA II) at this time. BTW Nano, running an xserve now, made life so much easier. Have two Sans Digital SAS Chassis, 316X2, dual SAS connectors for 2400MB/S performance, and it has made dealing with raid simple. No more time out errors, no more hard drives dropping out, nothing. Not sure if plunking down $2500 per chassis is worth it but for me with no headaches it was.
Peace,

The 6Gb/s cards are still faster than their previous 3Gb/s counterparts with the same disks (i.e. 1680 series vs. 1880 series running the same firmware revision, v1.49). Moving to 6.0Gb/s has both marketing as well as performance implications though (particularly in the enterprise market as SLC based SSD's fall in price and hopefully become more prevalent). I would expect mechanicals that run 6.0Gb/s controllers will run faster as well, even though they can't saturate the interface (native = no shifting backwards for compatibility). For a new storage solution, it would be best to go ahead and get the 6.0Gb/s compliant gear (allows for future growth by only dealing with drives and enclosures, assuming the port count isn't under-planned).
So if the existing equipment will be sufficient through it's planned lifespan, there's no need to rush out and buy 6Gb/s gear.
As per the equipment you used, the ease of use is why it costs so much (the software was already loaded, configured <save user settings>, and tested with the hardware) . I'd recommend keeping it until it no longer meets your needs (gets the job done and doesn't waste funds = keeps boss happy and your job secure :D). ;)

So, recently moved to a 2011 Unibody MBP from a 2007 Santa Rosa MBP. More significantly, moved from a single-button trackpad to a no-button trackpad.
I am having some difficulties with drag and drop over on Windows 7. There don't seem to be such issues on the OSX side.
Namely, drag and drop is really difficult since I need to press the trackpad and drag. I would usually just hold the button and drag - and on the OSX side, I seem to be able to press and hold one finger and drag with the other.
Not working on the Windows 7 side.
I tried the drag lock option under BootCamp settings, but it is terribly cumbersome to use.
Any thoughts?

I'd imagine they added some major infrastructure to support the movie downloads, so, I'm betting the downloads overall will be a LOT faster with their upgrades.
Yeah, plus 4x the resolution on all videos.
They probably installed those new Intel Xservers.... I heard they are 16x as fast...:D

Apple's market share of desktops is pretty small, and smaller in the enterprise, but it's high on laptops, very high on the upper end laptops, very high on smartphones, extremely high on portable music players, extremely high on tablets.
And in any case the question is: does Apple make money?
The answer: Yes.
Yeah they're selling tons of MacBooks, 13" MBPs and Airs!
