switched it up again - this time some Slightly Stoopid with Angelo Moore from Fishbone. This is a shot from Slightly Stoopid's Flickr, taken at their Lundi Gras show in New Orleans at the House of Blues. Great damn show indeed it was!

Of course they weren't going to release two in one year. That was all just wishful thinking. Even if they did then to me it would be unsound as a business strategy as they'd then marginalize the iPad 2 and make less profit. And I'd assume the R&D would cost a big chunk.

Didn't read them then, won't read them in future.
Useless publications of the old age where magazines were catalogs with fluff articles. In the internet age they better supply real content and not half-ass excuses for information.... they'll tank, no doubt: their focus is on sales, not service.

Piercings and tattoos have been related to childhood trauma (mental).
I know that is not all true, some people just like to do it. Do you think that is true?
Don't think those cosmetic lasers will get those tattoos off. You'll have to have it done many times and it will leave scarring. A lot of people think that you can just laser them off, but it is really only to a point.
no trauma for me, and i will never want to get my tattoo's lasered off, they mean too much to me.
to BV: its amazing how much dealing with any physical pain is mental, though, i have respect for women and childbirth, its not something that i am capable of doing, so i dont know the pain of it. but i have had my fair share of injuries that would make most people howl.

I have two concerns for Cond� Nast's iPad publications.
1) They are big and appears to be in image files, not htmls. They may look beautiful on iPad/iPad2 but what will happen when we have a retina screen iPad3? It'll be 1/4 the original size, scaling will make it look ugly.
Does it not depend the PPI that the image is ? If they have made the image at a PPI that the the same as the iPad 1/1.5, then you may have a point. However, if they made the image at a higher PPI, say 300+, then your point is moot.

I tried it out at the store. There's like a .5 second delay in registering your movement. So it doesn't seem to work too great with twitch gaming as you have to anticipate your move too much.
The fitness one is pretty cool though since it doesn't really matter than much. Didn't get to try dancing, and didn't see anyone do that either since it appears everyone is too shy. But I imagine its similar to the fitness game in terms of operation.
The Playstation one is better for those twitch games imo.

The microsoft marketing guy says that the parts will be the same except for the bigger hd and hdmi output... So I guess that means it will still be as noisy and likely to break as the current models.
And that means I'm keeping my x360 pro.

Ahh, that makes sense.
I have no problems with Sleep issues or Booting...Should I really run the firmware update? I really don't want my system running any hotter then it already does.
I'm the same, I don't think I'll run the update. As the saying goes "if it aint broke, don't fix it."

I built a new system with a gigabyte x58a-ud3 and stock cooler, which is massive. It can handle 2 x16 cards, I probably didn't need all that ram though for a single cpu and I already had a 650 psu but if that isn't enough power I will have to swap the 480 into one of the other systems which have 1200 watt psu's.
I have one more 650 psu that I want to use this fall for another build so that I can put the 275 gpu's into the 650 psu builds and 2 each 400 class gpu's into the 1200 watt machines, does that make sense? Anyway I will end up with: 2 builds with 650 watt psu's and 4 gtx 275 gpu's and 2 builds with 1200 watt psu's with 4 400 class gpu's.
My goal is to reach 1 million points per week!
oh ok. so you will primary fold with just 4 systems, or 5?
right now i have 4 primary systems that i'm folding with, and i would love to build another, but not right now with the heat. maybe when it gets colder. sometimes i wish i had a basement to put them!
just so you know, you can fold with a 200 series and 400 series gpu in the same system. it took a little for me to get it to work, but it does.
let us know when you start building another rig. and how the overclock is coming!

Can whoever the first person to get a call from best buy to schedule an appointment post it on here....
I want to know when the first best buy gets their phones in so that I can guess as to when mine will call me.

As it was said tons of times, privacy is important. If something is being done to "track" me (no matter what other fancy terms they use for "track" or how much they down play it as some technical necessity) they are still tracking me. Period. Where that data goes and how it's used and how I am tracked should 100% be written in plain English before purchasing said product.
Have you read the user agreements? Now, if you rail against how long they are here is another question. What information would you take out?
The unfortunate truth is that there are a lot of things that one could claim is important for Apple to tell you. One of those things is that when you use tracking functions that yes, the iPhone does indeed need to somehow access such location data. Another is that McDonald's coffee is indeed hot.
The only issue that conflicts with your right to not be tracked is that there was a bug that didn't turn off the location cache when you turned location services off. That rightfully needs to be fixed. Claiming that Apple never said this anywhere because you don't want to read the user agreement is not an issue with Apple but an issue with society as a whole.

I think this is the #1 reason people don't switch; They think that the difficulties of windows are how computing is supposed to be, namely, complicated, expensive, and time consuming.
I have to fight tooth and nail at my company to use a mac because, and I quote my "IT Professional"; "Macs are too expensive, they get too many viruses, and they're too hard to network and support". Now, granted, this woman isn't bright and was "promoted" to network admin from some receptionist job at some point, but this is how most companies think.
When she sits down at my mac to "fix it" (break something), she spends minutes looking for the complicated way of doing something instead of checking a box or pushing a button. The Principals of my company are the same. I'll do presentations in Keynote or make marketing movies or DVD's that the rest of the company loves, but since it's not supported on windows, the initiatives go nowhere. It's a mixture of ignorance and IT weasels looking to hold on to their jobs. If we had macs at work, she'd be out of a job and she knows it.
I hope Princeton's policies are platform agnostic, otherwise all the new mac users could find themselves in a difficult situation.
The only problem with some switchers is that they're so used to doing things the complicated way. I've had most of my friends go out and buy iTunes, some to switch to the Mac, but it seems like they're not used to the fact that their OS works for them rather than the other way around.
For instance, one friend organized his entire iTunes library in playlist. For each artist, each album -- he wanted one click access to every album. I then told him about the "Browse" feature and he was pretty pissed. It also seems like people aren't used to the fact that iTunes organizes your music files for you -- they want to go into each folder and name things themselves. SO DIFFICULT.

Apple just needs to buy Nokia and then put them out of their misery.
As a Nokia phone user (I've 3 Nokia smartphones), prior to the Nokia/Microsoft deal I'd have said no as all that would happen is you'd replace Nokia's open platforms (Symbian / Maemo / MeeGo) with Apple's control-freakery and the phones would get more expensive with less features.
But that's what we get with Microsoft too. :(

Your company's I.T. "professional" is obviously not keeping up with things, but that's all too common in the industry, unfortunately.
Still, I'd say that honestly, there are far more businesses out there staffed by I.T. people who do know what they're doing. Despite being a Mac user at home, I support a Windows PC network where I work. At this point in time, a switch to Macs really isn't feasible. It's not that we couldn't use newer Macs here. (Well, we couldn't before Intel Macs came out, because we rely on several proprietary software packages that are made for Windows only.) But reality is, Apple isn't really ready for "corporate America". They're inching ever closer to being there, but it's just not a market-segment they've concentrated on in the past.
It's easy for a Mac user to get "smug" about things, and say "Look how much easier I can do this!" with a task. But in the corporate world, there's usually more to it. They may be under an expensive service contract with an existing software package, so switching means flushing tens of thousands of dollars down the toilet for that pre-paid support plan. They often need to be able to make use of proprietary hardware or interfaces that just can't attach to a Mac. (Quite a few industrial controllers have been designed to plug into PCI or ISA slots on a PC, and they don't make a USB version!)
There's also a lot of interest in the ability to easily service one's own equipment, at least in smaller companies. Many I.T. departments like the generic, standard components found in most Windows PCs. If a power supply goes out, no problem. Grab any ATX supply from the shelf at CompUSA and drop it in. Back in business. Need a video card? They're sold everywhere. On a Mac, you're stuck waiting on a part from Apple themselves - and paying a premium for it.

You can make an avchd edit and then when you have a picture lock, go back to the original, transcode automatically the footage you need, do your color correction and effects with the better files and export a pro res file or whatever you need.
The only benefit to transcoding prior to effects/grading would be to aid system performance. It will not result in better image quality.

I guess they would have to start releasing what I consider "real" games for it, before it becomes even remotely interesting to me.
(I'd also have to own an XBox I guess....but at least this is a problem I can remedy myself - the lack of games out of my control!)

I think none the white (plastic) macbook ever supports 8GB of RAM...
The mid 2009 white MacBook has the same chipset as the late 2008 aluminum MacBook. Aside from Apple restricting the mid 2009 white MacBook via intentionally crippling firmware, why wouldn't it be able to support 8 GB RAM?
