I've been going through many threads and can't decide on a particular setup so I thought I'd open up a thread and get some opinions.
I'm currently doing my masters in aero. engineering and also fly planes on the side/am working towards my commercial license. After I'm finished (in about 4 months) I plan on potentially doing med. school and continuing to fly. I've currently got the 27" i7 iMac at home which I use quite often, but can't decide on whether or not to get and keep a 11" Macbook Air (upgraded 4gb) or iPad 2 (64gb wifi) (I picked up both and have about a week and a half left to return either one).
I've been leaning towards the air since it seems to be the more versatile option, but on the other hand since I have a regular desktop/full mac at home I feel like having something low power on the road to be the better option.
Well, it really depends on what you want/need to do on the road. If you're looking for content consumption and a little bit of e-mail, the iPad seems like a good choice.
If you need a full computer on the road for...? Looking at the applications in the Dock of my MBP, Address Book, iCal, Mail, Safari, Text Editor, iTunes, iPhoto, DVD Player, iChat. Well, you can do most of that with an iPad pretty well and either via cable or MobileMe sync, the data would sync with your iMac.
But then I run Windows in a VM almost all of the time and sometimes need VPN (Watchguard custom) and connect to multiple computers via RDP, the iPad doesn't go there.
So, light duty computing? iPad! Full on computing? MBA 11"!
Cheers.

[SIZE=1]One advantage of jailbreaking with greenpois0n is that you can have a custom boot logo :D greenpois0n is VERY fast and easy. If you google it, im sure you'll find a good tutorial :P
You tube has several good videos of jailbreaking with greenpois0n.

WHY ARE THERE NO BOT OR MACRO APPS FOR THE IPOD TOUCH?
Someone really needs to make one,and because there are no others they would make hundreds of dollars selling them on cydia, I would make one myself but I have no idea about making apps...GIVE ME YOUR INPUT PEOPLE,I want to hear it!!...btw if you don't know what a macro is it is a program that records your mouse movements and keystrokes so that they can be replayed and automated,it makes life alot simpler...it can be used to automatically log you in to a website or as an auto forum poster,anyways tell me your thoughts...
The closest app I've found resembling a macro is called auto web and is on the app store for free,it just records your web logins with http URL and stuff...so far I can't find anything to actually mimic the touch screens touches...

Assuming the above code is in a .mm file (not a .m file) that should be fine. I don't know about connecting an action directly to C++ method, I don't think that would work. But you should be able to connect it to an objective-c method, and inside that use C++ code, including being able to create C++ object and call C++ methods.
You know Objective-C is an extension to standard C, right? Objective-C++ is the same extension applied to C++.

If the 7457 is on schedule, my guess is they will migrate the PM lineup to the 7457 early 2003 and follow up with the other models as soon as Motorola can produce enough of them.
Assuming Apple adopts the 970 from IBM, the PM should migrate to the 970 late 2003 - early and the remainder of the iMac/eMac/portables will stay 7457.
I'm assuming that IBM is not going to be able to shrink the power budget on the 970 much. As a result, I don't see how it would make sense to put a 1.2GHz 970 in the PB in place of a 1.8GHz 7457.

Or just install ClickToFlash and you can decide what Flash content you want to load. Many people, including me, use that plug-in with their laptops, it's very useful.

Apparently Infinidock does not work on iOS 4.3 for the iPad, at least for me. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing works. I'm guessing it will not work until an update is released, but I figured I'd ask here if anybody else is having the same problem? And if there is a possible solution other than waiting for an update? With so much iPad 2 hoopla going on right now it has become a little more difficult to find anything using search. I'm having these issues on my iPad 1 (Classic :cool: ) with a tethered jailbreak on iOS 4.3 just to clarify.
I did the original Sn0wbreeze 2.3b1 and had Infinidock working on my iPad running iOS 4.3. I installed Infinidock first, I have just upgraded to Sn0wbreeze 2.3b3, and this time I installed winter board first, now Infinidock no longer works, I'm hoping this is related to the install order? I had also installed the mobile substrate update after Infinidock, and still had seven dock icons...

Sounds like this was the stumbling block.
I don't think you're being unreasonable as it is frustrating but I wouldn't cancel.
Get back onto Apple and try to sort it out. It'll all be worth it hen your shiny iMac arrives!

I was reading through some archives on mac security and came across an article detailing a trojan hidden in an mp3 file that surfaced 2004 and could affect mac operating systems.
This got me wondering about the way such threats can be packaged across all platforms and then dragged this question from somewhere out of my paranoid subconscious:
If an mp3 contained any kind of malware (trojan/virus, thinking cross platform here) and it could play music what would happen if it was burned as an audio cd and then ripped back to mp3 file?
Would the malware remain intact and just take up residence in the newly ripped file or would it be destroyed?
What if it were to be burned as an audio cd then ripped back into a different file format, flac, aac etc.
Would the malware survive that?
Converted from mp3 to a different file format, how about that?
In fact, would it be possible to create an audio cd from an infected file without the burning software crashing before it was done?
Any ideas, theories or :eek: experiences?
This isn't a specific mac question, more of a general cross platform just kind of wonderin' if anyone else has thought of it question.
I haven't got an infected mp3 file to try else I'd give it a go on my old windows pc to see what happens.

I've been having this issue for over a week. I just noticed it, since I had to take my MBP (LAte 2008 2.4 MHZ unibody, 4gb) in to the Apple Store for a repair, and wanted to remove any passwords so the tech wouldn't have any problems working on it.
I couldn't access the Accounts pane. It freezes for a bit, then the entire window closes, giving me the option to ignore or tell Apple about it.
I had to remove the password from the Snow Leopard disk. I was told to remove the prefs file, the plist file, and cache files; nothing worked. I was told to reinstall a clean system. That didn't work, either. I upgraded using the combo updater to 10.6.7. Still no go.

try going to the utility folder and open a programm called "audio-midi-konfiguration" (I do not know the exact english naming on your mac). Maybe you find that there is a setting to be changed.

Given that multi-tasking is relatively new and that iOS is still primarily focused on a single active application, it would make sense that NSProxy has not been implemented. My guess would be that this is the opposite of "deprecated": expect at some point down the road that these things will be implemented. In the meantime, you will have to work with what lower-levels are available to suit your needs.
