Remember you're talking about the low end of the Mac graphics lineup. Most of the better games require a lot of power that low end video solutions don't have. I bought a G4 tower that came with a Rage 128 Pro 16mb graphics card that couldn't play games for crap. That was the low end back when this machine was new. I have a Radeon 9700 in there now and games run a lot better. Unfortunately, the mini can't be upgraded, so you're stuck with what you have. Be sure you read the system requirements on any game before you buy it in the future as it may not run adequately, if at all, on your machine. If gaming is your goal, you need a machine with a better graphics card in the future. My brother has a 24" iMac with the 7300GT graphics card and that's not even high end for games and graphics work although it does work well enough.

As long as both iBooks are the same size 12" or 14", the battery is interchangeable. Only way to find out if the battery works is to try it out. But like already mentioned, it will probably be severely degraded and who knows, it could last 5 minutes or 3 hours. Just try it and find out.

Argh! Looks like I'm in trouble here! My Gen 3 iPod (30 GB) has about 16 GB of music, many of them with ratings. I seem to have trashed my iTunes music directory, and now I want to get the songs off of my iPod back onto my now bare iTunes. Problem is, most iPod utilities I've tried can't transfer the ratings back along with the song file! I know this sounds like a minor little problem, but I took DAYS getting those songs rated and I would HATE to have to do that again! The songs ARE still rated on the iPod; I can see the ratings when I click the iPod icon in the "source" pane on the left. How do I get them all back into iTunes?
Thanks for any help!!

Meh. Canadian airsoft are required by law to be transparent. I don't have one, but they look very cheap compared to black ones, even if the insides are the same.

I have found 1 link http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum/iphone-sdk-development/10094-adjust-image-brightness-contrast-fly.html its worked also for Brightness but its not working on iPad.
So Suggest something that i can start with my Image Processing Logic.
Thanks

$1800 is an extremely good deal for that system.
It was $3500 new.
Is it still under the AppleCare Warranty?
What are you hoping to accomplish with a stress test?
I have a similar setup and can encode video, render 3d animation, browse the web, run itunes, and have 2 windows VMs running. My machine never seems to miss a beat.

I have an apple sticker on my car. I'm thinking of getting license plates that say FF0000 since my car is bright freaking red. I'm aware that very few people will get this. :cool:
that would be awesome.

oh yeah, i forget you need 8 cores. but the new i7-860 will do it, right? will any amd quads do it?

Guys - what do you think the expected turnout is for the iPhone 4 launch? I showed up for both the 3G and 3GS and was underwhelmed by the lack of line (that's a good thing!) but with all the attention the iPhone 4 is getting, you'd think there is going to be a lot of attention. I am planning on showing up around 4 or 5 am with plenty of coffee, wifi hotspot (to share :D) and some entertainment. Anyone else with me?:confused:

I've got a wired Mighty Mouse I have no need for. It's barely used, which means the scroll ball is very clean. I'm looking to sell this for $20 shipped. I accept PayPal and will ship to the lower 28 states in the US. If you want me to ship it elsewhere, you will need to cover the extra expenses.
Send a PM my way if you're interested.
I am semi interested in the mouse, but more interesting in the 28 states thing. Is that common knowledge that the lower 28 states are cheaper for shipping? or....? lol

^^and i should probably add that it was a dell OEM copy, but in my defense when i bought it i had no clue what that meant lol
Here is your problem. The disk you are using is (probably) specially made to work only with the hardware it was sold with. Apple does the same thing with the disk that come with their computers, it will only work with a computer of the same model that it came with.

I've been out of the loop... I was running DDR3 1600 on a Core i7 920 seems like years ago. That official support was 1066 I think.
The official limit was a response to why Apple is using 1333MHz instead of 1600MHz. It has always been possible to run higher clocked RAM with certain CPUs and chipsets.

For anyone else on here I just found my answer here it is below.
the Wi-Fi radio will power down after 90 seconds, and the hotspot will no longer broadcast its availability to Wi-Fi devices. Just unlock the phone, and navigate to the hotspot settings screen to wake it from its slumber. In testing, I occasionally also had to toggle the hotspot switch to Off and back to On to reactivate it.

Powerbook Review
I�ve owned my new Powerbook 15� for around 3 months now, I think it�s a little short of that but no need to be precise. I will be breaking the traditions of a standard review by putting my negative views first, thus anyone reading the review will finish on a good note.
And finally, Enjoy.
Negative Views
Fortunately my Powerbook has given me very little quibbles and has generally gave a very good impression, first of all the usual complaint, it gets a little too hot for comfort and by that I mean the comfort of my legs, work these things hard and they get really hot! Moving on from that which I consider very insignificant, the standard RAM of 256mb was a little less than I would have liked to see for the price and as we all know buying memory from Apple is hard on the credit cards but a simple purchase from Crucial managed to get me a nice 1GB. Lastly on negative points, the price, I think it could be a little bit lower for what your getting its difficult to justify the price but I�m not complaining!
The Packaging
In usual Apple fashion the packaging is impressive, the box was sturdy on the long traipse home and it has a little handle although I didn�t take the risk and use it. On opening it is clear that this has been design well and everything is neatly arranged for convenience and protection. I must note that it comes with a polystyrene keyboard cover; I think this is worth keeping for future use.
The Powerbook
Now we�re onto the good stuff, too be a little more exact on my specs I bought it on 80GB 5200 rpm hard drive, 256mb RAM, and it�s the 1.33Ghz model, unfortunately I opted out of having a backlit keyboard. After a few days I decided it needed more memory for what I wanted to do with it so I purchased two 512mb sticks from Crucial.
The main use for my Powerbook is graphics and print, so I use the standard programs, InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator, usually all running at the same time, the Powerbook performs very well and isn�t sluggish at all although the rendering of large InDesign documents can be a little slow. Along with those programs iChat and Adium are always running and I have never experienced a problem with any of them.
Boot up times are quick, and just for the record it is yet to Kernel panic on me and I have never had to force quit and application, but the Finder has crashed a few times but this seems to be a problem with Illustrator saving into an open folder.
I know a few issues that I wanted covered when I was looking to purchase so I�m going to try and cover them now, firstly the battery, I personally believe that the battery in my Powerbook is very good and with Airport on, brightness full, Bluetooth off and running iChat, iTunes, Safari and Adium I can easily get 3.5 hours out of it and even run over the 4 hour mark. Things that are a little more processor intensive can severely knock the battery life but it has never been an inconvenience to me and I do travel around a lot and use my Powerbook.
Wireless signal, I use my wireless connection almost all the time and on a second note at home my wireless base station is an Airport Express, I heard rumour that the signal in the PowerBooks was quite poor but I find it to be the exact opposite, it is absolutely excellent and through several walls I can easily have full or close to full signal from my Airport Express.
Other little niggles, I read about it being a G4 processor, I purchased my Powerbook being confident that a G5 Powerbook is a long way off and any revision would be in January 2005 and that didn�t bother me, I also know that Tiger will run well on my system.
In terms of size and weight I cannot commend Apple enough on this one, it is truly amazing how thin my 15� Powerbook is and the screen size is perfect although I will be purchasing an external monitor to help with those large graphics and more important work colour wise.
Conclusion
This was easily the best computer I have ever owned and certainly best Mac, if you are a design, musician or general computer use I highly recommend this too you, it performs well and with enough RAM can churn through almost anything you throw at it.
Well I�ve finished this review in record time and its quite late so I�m sure I�ve missed a large amount of stuff out, if you are looking to purchase I hope this review has been helpful if you need to know anything else I will happily add to the review, send me a note or mail me at abrooks@spymac.com. Finally thank you very much and good day to you all.

Or is it really just tailored for OS X and iOS development?
Yes, this one. IMO the reason to use XCode is if you're doing Cocoa or Cocoa Touch development. It is nice, so I guess large-scale C++ or maybe even C work might be worth trying, but it's going to pump out code for various procs (PPC <before 3.something>, x86, x86_64) in Mach-O format. There may be a way to work out a build environment using makefiles, usw. that will result in a cross-compilation toolchain being used to build for linux, but this isn't an "out of the box" feature as far as I know. They want you to use it to make great Mac software. They don't really want the same great software to be available on Linux and Windows.
