Apple were going to make the Facetime protocol an open standard. Its up to others to pick it up. Personally, I'm surprised Apple haven't already made a Facetime app for windows.
I've been waiting for an announcement of them opening the standard for a while now but it still hasn't happened. As a cross platform standard I'd definitely be interested in using it but as of now, I can't.

Get the Dropbox app but BE SURE to download their free desktop software too(Mac or PC) and set up a folder on your computer. The app is really only useful if you have that as well.
You really should search this site, there are many other past threads like this that will give you a ton of ideas. But until then, here's a bunch I like.
Dropbox (To sync with your Desktop Dropbox folder)
iTorch4 (flashlight)
AwesomeNote (Can sync with Google Documents)
NewsRack (IF you use it to sign into a Google-Reader Account)
Files Pro (to copy files using USB through iTunes)
Apple's Remote (if you have an AppleTV)
Angry Birds (There are 3: orginal, seasons, or Rio)
Twitter/Linkendin/Facebook/Wordpress (Whatever you do, they probably have an app.)
Harbor Master
Netflix or Hulu+ (if you subscribe to either)

How do you expect me to remember where I was Sept 11? It's not like the day JFK died or anything... oh wait it was... hmm... I must've been walking down Elliot Ave. in Seattle when it happened. I didn't find out what had happened until a 1/2 hour later when I got to class only to find out the school was shut down since it was right next to the WTC in Seattle.

I just had an Art Director for a Stop Motion Animation Movie Company leave our shop. We ran a bunch of 3x6 foot fine art prints for her for the Sundance Film Festival (we are in Utah).
She and her art team created the posters digitally from a series of still photos taken with a Nikon D-300. The still photos were of painted sets and set characters. The paints they used were very pastel-like and bright. They then pushed these prints and added text in RGB format in Illustrator and Photoshop.
Their display was a Dell 30" high Color.
We showed them proofs on a calibrated high gamut HP LP3065 and then on an ACD 23".
Our printers for this job are fully calibrated (closed loop color) HP Z3100, Colorspan Displaymaker, and HP DesignJet 130 both with EFI Designer XL RIPS with full Spectrophotometer Support.
The art director was highly bummed that the InkJet Prints would not match her Dell or our HP LP3065 (both very wide gamut). She had no background in Color Management and no understanding of RGB versus CMYK, if you can imagine this!!
She kept moaning that she needed to find a way for the print to match her display. We kept telling her to refer to the ACD 23 for a more realistic expectation as to how the prints would look in final form.
It was amazing to me her lack of understanding of color gamut and how cmyk printing cannot match today's HC or High Gamut Monitors.
I offer this to this thread as there are a lot of people complaining that Apple's ACD's are "out-of-date," etc.
Actually, they are not: they are simply technology that is very targeted at a group of professionals that Apple use to covet as its "own:" print professionals and print-based photographers.
While Apple has moved past this market heavily into entertainment and broadcast video, their monitors have remained focused on this area. Surely they will update them. But for now, please understand why Apple's ACD's remain as they are and that they still have a large user base that actually needs and prefers these gamut specs.
I am of the belief that a creative shop should have many monitors as we do: some high gamut and some standard SWOP gamut, like ACD's.
We moved far beyond print a long time ago: we focus now on Video, CMS-based web development and broadcasting, and Flash. High Gamut is great for this (though not without its risks even for this market as many end-users have older, low gamut LCD's).
But to call Apple's ACD's out of date is just pain misinformation and lack of knowledge on a complex and tricky subject.

Sorry about late reply, crazy hours at work.
It shows that your only 22! language acrobatic funny rappers have more lyrics than the original hard core rappers?? what?
[snip]
Damn Need I go on to school you?!!! :D ;) :cool:
well i was more thinking about hip hop/rap in my own language ;) and in german it's sounds like hypocrisy singing about ghetto and the whole gangsta thing .. most are simply copying US ones
(i didn't knew a single rapper you mentioned, not interested that much, after all i'm more the rock'n'roll guy ;) so you would need a lot of cars to drag me into hiphop-school)
about age: try finding lots of (male) hiphop fans older than 20 over here... they are the exception and not the rule.. for me hiphop is still teenager music stuff simply because of the people who like it over here .. if you don't grew up with it you won't like it later

This looks like just another sim overlay solution. Nothing is done to the phone. They use a small IC and just trick the phone into thinking it has an authorized sim in it.
These are not new.
...what are you talking about? This involves using your phone's IMEI number and putting it into Apple's database of unlocked iPhones.

Only the quad has it from the last few months. Mines working perfectly, I'm not about to pull it apart for pictures.
Does it resemble that of the two big black boxed one? Thats the one I have, but having had this Quad 2.5 years back I never had problems with it. I also read that the Quad's failure rating is around 1 percent compared to the dual 2.5 from 2004 and dual 2.7 from early 2005 - am I correct?

Its not going to work that way. cablevision fixed their 1.0.1 app that it doesn't connect via ipad's VPN. how is it going to work while being tethered to your iphone?
He's thinking that the app checks if there is a VPN connection on the iPad. If the connection is done on an iPhone then tethered to the iPad it wouldn't see a VPN connection on the iPad.

Concur. Never once saw a Zune.
I get the sense MS is scrambling to catch up. They are a software company, and Apple is a hardware & software company (and I'll concede in many cases hardware = gadgets). However,they are all driven by a few streams of software which they continue to improve upon.
Sounds like you need to get out more.

You posted just as I was finishing off my post. Just wanted to agree with what you said. I've got a 2G 20gb model (nearly full) and if it wasn't for the fact that I'm saving up for an iBook I'd have bought one already.

I've been waiting for a reason to stop using MS office but I don't see that happening even with this update. I really want to buy iWork but I feel like I'd have to relearn everything and end up with an inferior program.
I think it is sad how much Apple pushes the fact that Macs can run MS office. It's a slap in the face. Seeing that iWork only has two apps it's understandable they don't mention it in the commercials.
Btw, what was the glitch with Calculator? How do you screw that up?

One of the things that irritates me about iTMS is the fact that I can't play my purchased tracks on anything other than an iPod.
This doesn't currently affect me as I own an iPod but I would like to be able to use them on other devices as well (such as AAC compatible phones etc.) . This restriction means that I do not purchase as much from iTMS as I might otherwise.
I am wondering how much extra money Apple gets from locking users of iTMS into the iPod system.
Would 'de-regulating' FairPlay in this way encourage owners of other players to buy from iTMS and would this extra revenue offset that losses from lower (potentially) from iPod sales?

That seems like a really cool program, especially if you are looking to create a gif from your favourite TV show, or something.
What are you wanting to do with the program, though? Because you could always pause the movie or video you are trying to cap from and press control+shift+4, this brings up a box which makes a cap of only the parts of the image that are selected, and conveniently saves it to your desktop.
I understand if you are trying something a little more complex, though, that this would be a tedious and inappropriate way of going about it. :)
thank you for your advice.

My colleague has one and I have to say that I am impressed by the Zune. It's as good, if not better than any portable media player on the market and I loved the brown shell. The problem is that Microsoft doesn't know how to play from behind the competition, especially with a device that only serves one purpose and can't really be improved enough to catch people's attention. It was a silly decision to jump in the market so late in the game. Apple's market share in this sector was insurmountable.

Hello All,
I'm pretty new to the Mac and was wondering how to change my background color to a solid color other than the few that are available by default. In Windows, in the absence of a desktop picture, I can specify pretty much any color to be the background color. All I see are the several swatches of color and no way to get more colors.
Are these background "colors" simply little pictures that are tiled? How do I get a true background color that's not already there? Any help appreciated.Well... you could just go into photoshop.... and use the Paint Bucket tool to make your own color... save a jpeg.. and drag to make it your desktop. What color are you looking for?
