When I did folding@home on a computer I did it on an 1.42 ghz eMac, nothing compared to what you guys use now :p but it was the only thing I had at the time.
Right now I use my PS3 running 24/7 as my folding machine.
I've never been big on Folding@home, I'd rather donate money or my time to an organization (I'm not bashing Folding@Home though, I think it's a great thing, it just doesn't interest me personally).

Sorry but that's not the case, created an account just recently to provide my input on this issue on another thread. I am 3 iPads down with problems and still hoping the 4th will arrive with no leakage or dead pixels. I'm glad yours is "absolute fine" but if you do a search or just ask around you will find this is a widespread problem
Mine is fine. No bleed. I'm not sayin it does not exist, but mine is fine.

So ridiculous dude. Just embarassing. Do you really think anyone has the time or desire?
I am on my second iPad 2 and this one has far worse bleed then the first did which is just sad..
If this is not an issue then the thread with 108,000 views would like to have a word with you..

My bad if this is for real, it just sounds so much like the iPhone Antenna issues threads that started last year. I bought in to that whole garbage hook line and sinker at first and there were tons of newbies posting on the problem.
When I finally got to see a few actual iPhone 4's (never bought one since I am still under contract for 3GS) -- I could not replicate the problem. Over the past year I must have tried on about 20 iPhone 4's of friends, many times in areas of really bad coverage and compared it directly with my 3GS -- but no antenna issue could be discerned that was any worse than other smart phones and it consistently out-performed the antenna on my 3GS.
Clearly volume of posts (108,000) does not make the problem real since the iPhone 4 Antenna got more posts than I can count on more threads than I count. But it certainly lends some credence.
I also find it a bit hard to believe that Halebopp has managed to get 3 iPad 2's in the two weeks that they have been out and that he is waiting for the 4th given the production shortages. Unless Halebopp is going down to the Apple Store every morning at 7am and waiting in line for it to open so he can exchange the unit before the stock disappears. Maybe Apple Store is willing to hold one for you if you call the day before and tell them about the problem you are having and that you need an exchange. But I remember when folks where exchanging their 27-inch iMacs that had screen problems that it took quite a while to get replacement units.
So maybe it was/is a bit presumptuous of me to assume that since mine was fine that this was a repeat of that whole Antenna-gate thing. If so then I apologize, and I will reserve my judgement until there are enough iPad 2's out there in circulation for me to test with a dozen or so units of friends.
With regards to whether or not I think folks have the time or desire to post fake problems with regards to Apple products, I believe the answer is "yes" based on what I have seen. Does it mean that is always or usually the case, probably not.

Based on murmurings and mooings on the pro sites, I reckon Apple will lose some customers to Avid, if they had originally come from Avid some time in the last 10 years. They're talking about going back to Avid, not to Avid.
I also reckon every kid who has used iMovie in the last few years will start using FCP X in about July. This is the next generation of video editors, and they will far outnumber Avid users. They will be making movies for web distribution. They will be flooding the film schools. They will also have the mad skillz (look at me, sounding like a teenager :D) to turn things over really quickly, something which is appreciated in today's editing environment.
Apple has built FCP X for people who have never used film and probably never will so the metaphor needed to go. Bye-bye bins, hello "smart folders". And a big hello to the do-deca-core, 8TB, 32GB Mac Pro everyone can now justify purchasing.
i second this as well.
as a side note, most of the editors i know don't think twice about switching back and forth btn fcp and avid based on the project /client requirements regardless of their particular preference.
ultimately the result of apples move will only come to light after the software is released and peeps get their hand on it. everything now is just looking at screenshots.

yes.
you guys keep in mind that ONLY FCP is 299. I think Final Cut Pro STUDIO will be around 500-600 Dollar. Still a "Pro-User" pricing so to speak. So most Pro's will go for the suite anyway. I think it's great that Apple is selling the programm itself for this price. It keeps Final Cut Pro alive and I hope that it will be updated more frequently because hopefully more people will use it.
So, are the days of "buy the full version/suit once - get a upgrade for 1/3 of the price with your license" over?? You have to buy the bits and pieces of the FC Suit seperately from release to release - although a bit cheaper - but far from the good deal the upgrades used to be...??

Based on your assertions, it would appear that the wife's temporary lack of judgement is inexcusable, but the husband's abuse of a controlled substance is an excuse for attempted murder. If the husband was under the influence of an illegal drug at the time, then that sounds like an additional charge to me, not a defense.
Assuming the husband had never reached speeds above 5-10 mph, and the wife tripped and broke her ankle when climbing off of the car, I'd tend to agree with your assertions that the wife is partially responsible. However, no reasonable person drives a car at high speeds with an unwilling person on the hood. I don't see how the husband's violation of additional laws can justly be used to place blame on the wife.
I am in no way saying that because he was under the influence of drugs his behavior is excused. You said she may not have known she was putting herself in harms way. I'm saying when you are dealing with an angry, possibly drug addicted man how can you not think you would be putting yourself in harms way? It's an even better reason for her to let him drive away. Not jump on his freaking car.
The guy is guilty, and will be convicted. But, come on. That doesn't change the fact that he was trying to remove himself from what was probably an already volatile situation. And she wouldn't let him.

Yep, there was a story in the paper last week about how the National Australia Bank (we're talking billions upon billions of dollars, they've got fingers in pots all over the world, massive corporation and they employ thousands) has only just got around to rolling out XP over the old 2000 Pro systems. They won't be looking to upgrade to Vista for a few years yet.
I dare say it's the same for most big business, they don't want to risk anything by upgrading to the latest and greatest until it's had years of real-world testing and updates.
I work for a multi-billion-dollar, multi-national corporation that employs tens of thousands and has tens of thousands of computers, and the IT department recently sent out a memo that they are beginning the transition from Windows 2000 to Windows XP, to be finished sometime in 2008 (my desktop is scheduled to be upgraded to XP sometime in 2008). They spent 5 years of testing and tweaking their systems for Windows XP; it'll probably be at least 2012 before they upgrade to Vista.
I recently spoke to one of the CIOs, and he said they already have concerns about Vista because it incorporates functions into the OS that the IT group already uses third party software for. That means even more testing and tweaking than normal, and possibly a delay in adopting Vista while they wait for contracts with third-parties to expire.

This is a huge nothing issue and the press is making a big deal about it because they are all libs and they hate corporations. They will do anything to make them look evil and out to get everyone. They also like to down success in any way possible.
I have 2 iPhones, 2 iPods, 1 iPad and 2 MacBook Pros they can track until their hearts content if they want. I'd also like to track them myself so I'll keep those services turned on!
I'd like to note that i know that Apple does not gather the tracking information. I am just saying if they wanted to they can, I don't care.
Wow, this is so incredibly ignorant I can't even believe it. They can track me wherever I go, I don't care, they can grab my genitals at airports, I don't care, they can take all my money for bailouts of private banks, I don't care, they can abandon democracy, so what? I have a white iPhone, I'm the coolest!
Face it, corporations do evil/ unethical things all the time, denying this is nothing but ignorance.
But Steve says it's fine, he always speaks the truth since he's a rich billionaire ceo.

Macworld reports (http://www.macworld.com/2006/11/firstlooks/rosetta/index.php) that based on their benchmarks, Apple's Rosetta PowerPC emulation technology for Intel Macs has seen up to 30% improvements in the latest version of Mac OS X (10.4.8). Rosetta is the technology that allows Intel Macs to run PowerPC applications (such as Photoshop and Microsoft Office) which have not yet been released as Universal Binaries.
Apple released the Mac OS X 10.4.8 update on September 29th, 2006 and incorporated a number of improvements (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304200).
Meanwhile, Apple is continuing work on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and provided developers with a new seed today (Build 9A303). This latest Leopard build provides ongoing performance improvements and bug fixes, but continues to have a long list of known issues.
While Leopard is officially expected (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/08/20060807161421.shtml) to be released in Spring of there has been some questionable speculation (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/10/20061030141713.shtml) that Apple may be targeting an earlier release. Apple's Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) release will certainly draw comparisons with Microsoft's upcoming Windows Vista release. According to the BBC, Vista will be available (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6130604.stm) to retail customers on January 30th, while corporate customers will be able to get the newest version of Windows starting on November 30th, 2006.

Yes, it does, because I am one of those people. :)
Market share is overrated. As long as Apple continues its 2-5% share, they are fine.

Stream worked well for me - h.264 goodness all the way through - although it did stop a few times, pausing and restarting fixed that.
I changed my homepage to the Apple events last night, and forced myself not to look at any other web pages before I watched the whole stream. It would be like watching "the making of" a movie before watching the actual thing.
The surprises were much more exciting to watch the stream first :)
I'm actually really happy with what we saw, and that guy "Scott" who shared the feature demos with Steve was a very good speaker and presenter - perhaps Steve's sucessor? :cool:

Concerns about cost aside...
Is anyone else looking forward to how people hack this into being a peripheral for interfacing with computers? After seeing the Wiimote multitouch demo (http://www.ted.com/talks/johnny_lee_demos_wii_remote_hacks.html) at TED, I've got my hopes.
I think this will have a profound effect on robotics. There's a sensor that does the same type of ranging like it now, but it's like $9000. It's called the Swiss Ranger (http://www.acroname.com/robotics/parts/c_Sensors.html). For electronics projects, this is pretty damn expensive, especially for small scale research at the university levels and hobbyists. But like the Wii, reverse engineering a mass produced item might bring about some interesting things.
I guess that's how it goes sometimes. Technology becomes "practical" when there's a consumer application and you can apply economies of scale.
