mmmm doesn't like streaming from tvcatchup.com
new frame twice a second but sound is ok. Vid card is radeon 9000 with 64mb.
Is that the issue or the paltry 512mb ram?
My guess is RAM is your biggest issue. I run 1GB in the system in my sig, and while that is adequate in OSX Tiger you're best off maxing the memory.
As for video cards, the Radeon 9000 is probably OK if you're not gaming, but if you are or if you want to take advantage of Core Image functionas then you need something better from this list (http://guides.macrumors.com/Core_Image#Supported_graphics_cards).
The Radeon 9800 Pro is the default choice for this machine based on performance, availability and cost. If you can find one of the rare OEM Radeon 9700 Pros you'll get a small performance boost. Plus, there are plenty of PC cards out there you can flash (I am running a GeForce 6800GT in my Digital Audio G4). Good luck.
I don't know if this has been mentioned before, or if you're already aware, but G4s can't really handle HD video playback, no matter how many upgrades you install. 480p is fine obviously, but even the fastest G4s fail to deal with 720p video. The G4 CPU simply doesn't have the oomph. Just something to consider.

Dang! I can't tell you how many billions of dollars I spent on these games as a yout. Ha. Now I could have them all for $15. But too late I guess. I downloaded Tempest for old times sake. It was my fav in the arcade. I don't know if its my age or the iPhone but just not that fun.

I'll be going in tomorrow morning to give blood, conveniently my school has organised a Blood Drive at the same time as MacRumors! Hopefully all goes well and someone will benefit from what my organs have to offer.
I will be giving this week as well

I had the original iPad on unlimited plan. Bought iPad 2, and followed the instructions from ATT rep ... just switch the sim cards.
I switched the sim cards first thing ... there was no plan associated with the new sim card before I switched it.
So all went well. My iPad 2 picked right up with my original unlimited plan.
But, my original iPad ... after the new sim card was inserted in it ... showed 3G service, with antenna strength reading. What was going on? I turned off both devices, did the switch, and turned them on ... I would have assumed booting up the original iPad would have recognized the new sim card, in fact, Settings -> General -> About -> Cellular Data Number was listed as "unknown", so it definitely should have been using the settings from the new sim card ... yet I had 3G access!
Did I only have the remainder of the current cycle's plan on the device? Could I have had unlimited data on both iPads?
Since I was selling my original iPad .... I did a reset to return it to factory settings .... however, when helping the buyers set up a 3G plan on the device, I saw that it really did not clear EVERYTHING out associated with my original plan .... as I had the two options: USE EXISTING PLAN or START A NEW PLAN.
That made me nervous ... they started a new plan of their own on their credit card, and, after that, the option to use the original plan seems to have went away.
All seems well ... and I was selling to relatives ... BUT, I'd like to know more details about all of this .... have others have similar experiences? Thanks for sharing.

weren't there other rumors regarding an "os x lite" edition earlier in the year?
I think the consensus is that Apple abandoned the idea of building a phone completely from the ground up, which was their original idea. The question is *what* exactly they abandoned. At some level it makes sense for them to use Symbian or some other existing OS in order to get the benefit of 3rd party app availability.
Then again, that rather un-Apple like, since I would think Apple would want to have total control over the interface. Maybe Apple *will* come up with a real-time "OS X Lite" operating system, and the 3rd party apps will have to be Java apps, basically. If Apple makes sure that Java performs well on the iPhone then that would be their best strategy...

Funny how NC law forbids the sale of handguns to anyone under 21, but you're 21 and you already have 2 expensive guns (and the iPhone you took the photo with). And yet you have to run a racket to be able afford a guitar.
He's probably a professional thief/conboy(hence not a man)/racketeer.
Hence his paranoid need for self defense, he's probably scare of the poor people he's SCAMMED.

Its never a good thing when the guy behind the reason we buy Mac's leaves. :(
For the user who mentioned that he was behind OS X flaws (you mentioned iTunes bloat) - you are wrong. iTunes isn't run directly by the Mac OS development team, it has its own department. There's probably a little crossover however generally he wouldn't have much input on iTunes.
It is kind of sad but I'm sure Apple will do okay. And there are a bunch of reasons why I buy Macs. Software is a big part but the design was another (having solidly built hardware is nice). If software was the only reason I'd be using Windows because at this point Windows 7 isn't bad and they frankly have more software for less (the Mac App Store game section compared to Steam is a great example of how little software there is and how we're generally getting ripped off...it isn't just games with this problem either).

Hello,
Does anyone know a way that i can make a gap in the border...
I want to create a 3px gap in top and bottom of the Right Nav Left Border line..
This is so that it won't touch the other borders.
How do i do that in CSS?

As a verizon customer, I didn't run out and get the iPhone for 2 reasons:
1. I figured the iPhone 5 would be out in June
2. Verizon isn't as lenient about moving up your New Every Two date as they used to be.

One of several in rotation. I use SnowTunes for the dark menubar (among other things), DarkDock for the dark dock :p, and Float for the indicators. Bowtie provides the album artwork, and I have a matching Adium theme that I just hid so I didn't have to go in and blur out the names.

Considering Christmas is just under 3 weeks away, I decided to switch to a Christmas wallpaper (will keep this for the rest of 2010) :)
I found this wallpaper about a year ago and it originally had the words "A South Park Christmas" at the bottom (which I digitally removed in iPhoto). It's amazing how fast 2010 has gone but then again, everyone says that every year :D

Fancy having a Keynote dedicated to a gadget that won't be seen until 2008 :( Oh sure the U.S. will get it in June but the rest of the world (and there is one outside folks) won't get a chance to see it until later this year or next. I just don't see the point.
We have been keenly waiting on the details of Leopard only to be kept in the dark. Perhaps Apple Inc has gone the Adobe way. If this is a sign of things to come (and some of us remember the downfall during the Newton) then Apple Inc might want to start learning how to write music instead.
