I'm just about ready to make the leap to Apple/OSX from the PC world.
I'm the computer "guru" in my circle and seem to spend most of my time doing preventative maintenance and disaster relief on friend's computers from all of the crap that PC's are prone to. After a few dozen full re-installs, virus excorcisms, spyware-ectomies, in the last few months, I'm just finally sick of it.
It makes me sad that one has to be a "guru" to effectively run Windows for any period of time. They have made a huge leap from Win98 to XP, and I like the interface, but the bloated underbelly is still a wretched piece of work. If you look anywhere for tips on how to run Windows, you'll find that you are directed to all sorts of tweaks and registry edits in order to make it do what you want. Bah!
I currently dual-boot WinXP Home and Mandrake Linux, so I can see the benefits of a Unix based, ported OS like OSX. I have also messed around with a relative's iMac (which I recommended she get for photo editing), and I really like what I see.
I also just bought an iPod, and am in bliss with the new Windows iTunes, further clinching my decision to switch.
The new iBooks came out just a bit ago, and while they are compelling, I'm gonna save up and do it right. I'm going for a PowerBook, but haven't completly decided on the size.
I'm thinking 12" PB, since a laptop/notebook is supposed to be small. If I need a bigger display, I can always hook it up to my 17" Planar w/ DVI.
I'm going to use it for all of my mainstream computing needs, ie. email, surfing, office, photography, music. I'll keep my screamin fast PC for the games, like BF1942 and HL2 whenever it comes out, but once I get the Mac, I'm going to do a minimal re-install of XP so the gaming is as fast as it can be. I'll use the rest of the HD for storage for my Mac stuff, being on a 802.11b network. Kinda like a server that you can play games on. :)

[QUOTE=thermodynamic;12493443I recently bought Drive Genius 3 ... has anybody tried the defragment utility? If so, is it worth the time to use?
[/QUOTE]
If the time it is defragging is when you're asleep, then you won't notice how long it takes. Apple says there's no need to defrag, but I do it, and it makes a difference at least in the number of fragments, if not performance.

i have an M Audio Axiom 49 (2nd Gen) which was about $350. I was a great step up from my old M Audio Radium 49.
i think m audio makes pretty good controllers however their audio interfaces i have not had the best of luck with. I had a Fast track ultra that broke after a year and a half. I pre ordered a Apogee Duet 2, so i'm waiting for that.. :apple:
edit: i now see your budget is ~ $250 usd
check out the "M-Audio Axiom 25 2nd Gen". I'm not sure if 25 keys is sufficient for your needs tho

I've found it now.
It's under Energy Saver in System Preferences.
You can use Caffeine (http://lightheadsw.com/caffeine/) to temporarily override your Energy Saver settings, with a single mouse click. And as has already been stated, you don't need anti-virus software to protect your Mac from malware. Read the Virus/Malware link that simsaladimbamba posted.

exciting but this is going to use A LOT of power, especially with new generations of GPUs possibly approaching 200watts
Watts the problem when you want to be first? ;)
People have been calling for the Cell processor to be used for folding. GPUs obviously have really great floating point capabilities and they can even speed up poor (s)Tinker code dramatically.
Of course, with Vista following Mac OS X in using the GPU for certain effects, that GPU is going to be busy.

I have this back and like it, except for the fact that it's SLIGHTLY thicker than original. I was wondering the same thing about the sheilding though. How easy is it to get off and put back on. Obviously the back is extremely easy but curious about the shielding...

That's kind of a tough question to answer since you haven't stated what you want to be doing with your ipad. Offhand your options are to:
1. Manage your video and music library a bit better and trim them down to size a bit. iPads have good battery life, but you won't listen or watch EVERY song and/or video between charges.
2. If size and your available funds are more important than the modest speed increase, return your ipad if it's within the 2 week window and get a 64 gig v1, either online from the applestore, or possibly craigslist.
3. If you need more storage and speed, return your pad if possible, and wait it out until you've got the funds and the ipad version you want is readily available. Once the 2's ship for a couple more weeks, supply and demand will even out a bit and slowly bring an end to the ipad 2 feeding frenzy that's currently happening.

I want both the USB adapter and the HDMI adapter for my phone. But instead of paying way too much for the official stuff, and instead of buying multiple units, would it be smart to buy one unofficial adapter adapter that supports both usb and hdmi? Or will they be trash that breaks and gives bad transmission/picture quality?
Found this for instance.. http://cgi.ebay.com/Dock-HDMI-USB-Ad...#ht_4354wt_902

Well, I have 8GB of RAM so is OS even an issue? My biggest concern is the fact I'll have it running the majority of the day and I pretty much have 0 experience with Parallels and how hard it will work my machine.
I am actually leaning towards Windows 7 now since I sometimes like to Boot Camp over to play some games and the Direct X support is nice. Just want to make sure I am making the right choice >.<

I have a 51 inch HDTV. I was all set, as the earlier threads suggest, to buy the 12 inch powerbook so that I can run the DVI to my tv with blootooth mouse and keyboard. After reading for the last few weeks, I am scared to get the powerbook for so much money until the intel switch. I need a new computer and figure I will get a 12 new or 14 refurbished ibook. I know that running the S-Video to my TV will be of less quality and resolution than the DVI but I want to know if anyone has worked on their TV with this and what they think. It seems like the iBooks are the better value right now. I figure I will get one with my employee discount and sell it for 4 or 500 next year and grab the new powerbook. Im betting that the Intel switch is going to be balls out for Apple. Im guessing they bring out all the stops and start making this race with PC serious.
FYI: You can get a whole lot more than 4 or 500 next year for an iBook. People are still fetching prices in that neighborhood for G3 iBooks.
The market on eBay is crazy for Apples. People will pay for more than computers are worth.
(You could probably make money buying Macs with a student discount and reselling them on eBay)
EDIT: I really have to agree with the point about Apple kicking it up a notch with the Intel switch. Now that the playing field is level, PC makers should really be scrambling.
