I think Pros on Final Cut have every right to be worried. While indications are that the pro apps are perfectly profitable it just seems Apple can't be arsed with it all when you can just slap some clever electronics inside a little box, let the sheep lap it up and make a mint.
When Final Cut DID start marching into the fringes of the high end a few years back and Apple started buying and including things like Motion and Shake it did seem like they wanted to own that space. Now? I'm not so sure. Maybe they'll merge Final Cut and Final Cut Express and politely ask pro users to migrate over to Media Composer 5 - perhaps they'll sell it in the Apple store or Mac App store.
Logic, too, looked like ProTools was being increasingly targeted a couple of years back but, again, Apple will probably think keeping the old Emagic AKA Logic operation going as a bit of an anomaly.
Aperture, well, that doesn't really have much of a point with Lightroom around, good though it is.
I just don't think Apple want to be an Adobe or Microsoft anymore, otherwise they would set up a proper semi-independent software division a la Filemaker for the pro apps and give it the resources to grow.
It's all a bit ironic as there's a lot of corporate backing now for iPad and iPhone, which Apple are happy to meet, but they seem to have giving the bird to professionals that kept them going in the lean mid-90s era and more recent converts who thought going Apple meant they were buying into emerging industry standards.

Glad I get .Mac for free. I like the look of it, but please Apple do the following:
- 4 GB iDisk
- New Killer Feature
- Lower the price to $79
- Better integration

This is rather amusing. People rush out to buy cheesy $30 iPhone Bumpers that cost .10 to make or some other overpriced case and have no issue. Many even buy multiples before they decide on one.
But ATT raises the cost of a early upgrade phone by $50 and people go bonkers.
1) It's an early upgrade. Do you really need to upgrade your phone sooner than every 18 months? If you do, that is your decision as a consumer. You certainly have no God given right to a cheap upgrade though. Stop whining.
2) Inflation is here. Deal with it. Have you been to the grocery store lately? It's the price we pay when the Fed prints money like Chinese knock-offs.
3) Last I checked the government enacts laws regarding the cell phone industry and also regulates the frequencies. There has never been anything stopping either congress or the executive branch or independent commissions from imposing rules to require cellcos to unlock phones after x months of service or to require them to sell unlocked phones.

I wish I could have just 1/10000 of that right about now!
12pb. That's an awful lot. I hope we start hearing some solid details on this service soon.
Are Apple only going to have 1 data center? Google seem to have 30-40.
Seems a bit silly to have a single point of success in this day and age.
Pity those who live a long way from the server, ouch! I notice a difference when I switch content providers from Manchester to London (I'm based in Manchester) on Steam. I don't think this data centre is for use outside the US...

Welp... Got Notes 7.02 today.
Where did you "get" it? Is this something you went out to the store and got, or does IBM provide your company with it, or is this an update and/or a download you find on the IBM site that anyone could install?
I've tried to navigate ibm.com to find patches and updates and stuff, but the site is a maze of bad design and hard-to-find information...

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.

Quicksilver also has a lot of pretty useful plug-ins, which you have to download separately. For example, a pretty handy address book module which allows you to display telephone numbers/addresses etc in large type through Quicksilver. Development is very active, the developer is already talking about how Quicksilver is going to be incorporated into Tiger and best of all it's all free.
There is a steep learning curve to get the most out of Quicksilver and unfortunately the documentation isn't great. But even if you only use it to invoke apps it really is a great app and highly customisable. I find it preferable to LaunchBar, although Quicksilver doesn't 'learn' as well as LaunchBar does. So check it out!

This keynote was a huge letdown for me. Sure I think the iPhone looks amazing and it has me considering a switch to Cingular to get one.
When I saw that the keynote was going to be 2 hours this time, I was super stoked. I just knew it was going to be jam-packed with new products, speed bumps on the computer lines, demos of leopard and iLife, etc. he spent 2 WHOLE HOURS talking about 2 products. I simply can't believe that. I know Steve wants to pimp out the iPhone as much as possible, but come on. Where was the "one more thing", etc? Sure there were really 3 things with the airport basestation being thrown in there without an announcement, but NOTHING that was discussed is available for immediate shipping.
I've been anticipating this for months since the announcement of quad core processors in hopes of getting an 8 core Mac Pro on order today. I've been saving up and keeping my credit clear just for that purchase and I've been extremely disappointed.
My only hope now is that since the quad cores are being released this week that they'll do a refresh soon down the line.

I really like those apps too but they aren't free... $25 for Little Snitch and $50 for Dvd2OneX.... isn't this a "free" apps/tools thread? On Windows, i use DVDShrink which is similar to Dvd2OneX but completely freeware... anything like that for Mac? And Little snitch functionality is in many free firewall programs for windows (Zonealarm for instance)... any on Mac that are free?

I hope one of these versions is CDMA. GSM would be more practical from a non-locked, carrier-agnostic perspective, but I'd find it hard to give up the EvDO.
Don't hold your breath, at least we haven't heard anything about CDMA

First off congrats on your new purchase!
On to your questions..
Can I use a Sata drive run from a PCI Sata controller card as the boot drive?
Yes you can. I am booted from a SATA drive on a PCI card as I type this. For your needs I recommend the 4 channel PCI SATA card FirmTek sells.
Will the power supply be up to running 6 hard drives inside? (4 in standard locations and one in each 5.25 bay)
Yes. The Dual 867 has a 400 Watt PSU and can easily handle 6 drives. All modern drives consume around 12-15 Watts so even 6 would only be around 75-90 Watts. Unless you want to use more than one SATA PCI card you will have to make 2 of the drives PATA.
Are there any perennial issues with this model I should look out for?
The MDD is the most troublesome G4 tower but keep in mind the repair/recall on these was only for about 6% of them which is very good compared to G5 towers that range from 11-32% of systems needing repair. I have owned 2 MDD in the past and based on that and other research I have done the Dual 867MHz is the most rock solid of them all. The MDD's main issues were fan noise and some of the PSU's die after just a few years. There are a few guides around though on how to rig a standard 24 pin ATX PSU to power an MDD.
Considering it's about 8 years old now and still running you definitely have a good one.
I want to give it a good going over before I get it up and running. I was going to clean and reapply Arctic silver to the CPU/heatsink interface, upgrade to 2Gb RAM, replace the rather noisy fan with a higher CFM quieter version and anything else you guys can recommend

Oh, and by 18, the kid really should be old enough and responsible enough to be able to sleep over at his girlfriend's place. As other have said, they'll have sex irrespective of whether they are allowed to sleep at each other's houses. :)
