Hmmm... the low lite thing is a little troublesome, as I plan on mostly recording my and the guys I play with on gigs. Sometimes the lighting's not too great.
I wonder if the Zi8 is any better? Similar feature set but without the waterproofing.
They don't really give much specific information about the lens on the Zx3 on the Kodak website...

The way alot of those people were treated today. My heart goes out to them. It makes me want to never support another Apple product again and actually glad I didn't give that Apple store my money for a Iphone 4. I arrived like alot of people at 6 am. That's exactly what they told us when I came 2 days earlier to double check. There were already thousands of people there in both reserved and non-reserved lines. I was almost to the very back of the non reserved line.
I waited in that line until 10 am. A full four hours, and we had not moved more than 50 feet. They kept telling us that the wait time would be around 5 hours estimated tops. I did the calculations in my head, that if we spent the last 4 hours (3 hours actual store open time) to move 50 feet, how the hell were we going to move 400+ feet in 5 hours. Our line, the non-reserved line wasn't budging. It moved probably 10 feet every 45 minutes.
I decided it was physically impossible to move all the way to the front in only 5 hours the way the lines were going. My greatest fears were proven correct. I asked one of the workers up front why our non reserved line wasn't moving and he told me they had to keep doing recounts to ensure everyone in the reserved line would get their phones. Talking to people closer to the front, they said the people being let in from the reserved side to the non reserved side was like 20 to 1. I left the line, went to Best Buy and asked for an Evo 4g, a phone I had been trying to get for weeks and which I was on several lists. As plain dumb luck would have it, they actually had a few. I got one, which I actually coveted way more than any Iphone and checked back in multiple times as I had errands to run, with the people I was standing in line with.
I ****** you not, the last time I checked in with them, it was 8:30 pm and they still had around 300 people ahead of them. With no indication of getting a phone anytime soon. They literally spent an entire day there waiting on a cell phone. And the kicker is that I asked one of the workers when they planned on closing, and they said 9 pm. He then told me that people in the reserved line would probably get a voucher and the people in the non-reserved line were s-o-l. There entire day was wasted for nothing and now if they want to get an Iphone, they have to repeat the process again tomorrow.:mad:
This was piss poor planning by the Apple store that made alot of people suffer with the only hope of getting an Iphone to hang on. I realize that 99% of you who got your Iphone today will probably not care because you feel like those people waiting in the non-reserved line should have reserved. The problem is, most of them DID try to reserve, but thanks to At&t's and Apple's website crashing, that was nearly impossible for them. Alot of them actually did reserve but never got the confirmation email.
If you ask my opinion of what should have happened, I believed that Apple should have scrapped non reservations all together like Att, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Radio Shack, because they clearly did not have the infrastructure to handle this amount of people. Alot of people suffered waiting in line the whole ENTIRE day and came away with nothing! I know nobody held a gun to their head, but Apple should have made EVERYONE aware of how they would be handling this mess instead of keeping people in the dark and repeatedly lying about the hopes of getting an Iphone.
They handed out drinks, and bagles, and sandwiches in line, but why not have somebody go through line with an armed security guard and ring up people actually OUTSIDE of the Apple store with those Ipod Touch Registers. Those who pay cash would have their money placed in a Safe Deposit Box again with the armed guard present. People could then get their Iphone right there with the worker activating their account on a laptop equipped with wi-fi. If they need more workers to carry that out, hire some college kids on Summer Break for a day or get some Att employees who were twiddling their thumbs all day in their stores. There may be some holes in my solution, but it's better than the crappy way they treated their customers today. Apple makes great products, but their arrogance and neglect is overbearing and I've just about had it with this company! They can go make their money off some other loser.:mad:

Nice collection, freaking jealous. Good to see you have 4 seasons of the office. :)
As of right now, I only have all the seasons of That 70's Show, taking a pic of a small collection isn't really pretty :(
Nice collection everyone :D
Thanks, I got Seasons 5 and 6 of the Office on blu in one of those cubs somewhere. The packaging of season 6 sucks, so I removed the discs and put them in separate cd holders. I had to do the same thing for Back to the Future.
You should post a pic anyway. No matter how many you got...Obey the thread! :D

congrats to your iMac G3 , they are such cute little computers and not only Tiger runs well ,it is surprisingly fast if you consider that the computer is nearly 10 years old , i just love these little buggers , they are like pets but dont wee on your carpet :D
Thanks to you MacHamster, and 92Ward. My friend got it from a school district and since he is leaving for service in a week he decided to give it to me. I'm sure you could find an iMac G3 or a few for sale or just given away by the school districts. I know the local school districts has a company auction off palettes of them for cheap.
The iMac G3 is still amazingly usable in these days. It's a great iTunes server, and a wonderful web browsing machine. I love the iMac G3.

The resolution is set at what the monitors are. I am not sure what you mean by setting it to "the same as the computer"....?
This issue happens regardless of what programs are running. The program you see on the screenshot is Safari, with www.purple.us (the site has an embedded video). But this problem happens when Safari isn't running at all. In fact, it happens when I have quit out of all running apps (aside from Finder, obviously)
I would love it if the cause could be discovered before I do a reinstall.

Nothing stops them from trading with you as a free-lancer� and as far as HMRC is concerned as long as you pay your taxes�
Nonetheless, I've also encountered companies whose explicit policy is to only deal with other companies, not private individuals or sole traders.
It's a daft restriction, but it's also trivially easy to set up a limited company -- the small business advisor at your local bank will probably be able to help you with it if doing it yourself through Companies House seems a bit daunting. There are definite benefits over sole trader/self-employed, not least being the fact that no-one can come after your house in settlement of trade debts!
You should absolutely look into it more�
Cheers!

MacRumors has always been very fast, delivering every requested page in a short amount of time. But over the past couple of days the site has slowed WAY down. Sometimes the pages will load just as fast as always, but then suddenly it'll be REALLY slow, taking like 30 to 120 seconds to fully load a page. I'm pretty certain that it's not being caused by my computer or internet connection, because I'm not seeing this new delay at any other sites I visit.

+1 for OWC. They are an excellent place to buy from. Good warranty, good customer service. And yes, all memory is just rebranded from the original manufacturer. Apple memory isn't made by Apple. OCZ memory isn't made by OCZ. You get the idea.

best advice- talk to an insurance agent who knows the details of their plans and what is avail. No one on here can speak accurately as all plans as they all work different for diff companies.
I would start with your parents agent.

Ok, listing everything would take far too long, but last year i bought a lot of ibook pieces from another member here, picked out what i needed and fiddled with some of it.. and now I am going to be moving in a few weeks and want to get some of it cleared out.
ALSO - any of the bottom or lcd cases can be dyed or custom painted (inside for g3s and outside for g4s) before being shipped off to you for an extra 20 for g4 painting 30 for g3 painting (have to remove the white paint on the inside takes longer and more supplies) and 40 for dye - as it takes a lot longer and dye costs the most.
See my website http://web.mac.com/katyelizabeth -> other art - computers to see examples of painting!
I have TONS of 12inch ibook g3 and g4 top cases
a few bottom cases of both as well and a FEW 14inch ibook g3 cases
They are in various stages of painting, some painted, some plain , some clear, some primed, some normal - bunch of experiments
I have 3 batteries, all hold a charge, but some less then others
i have a powerbook 12 inch battery that holds a bit of a charge
some logic boards with various problems
screws gallore!
inner frames gallore!
3 harddrives 10gb and 20gb
a semi working optical drive
Random bits of ram
Cables, cords, random bits
fans, more cables,
KEYBOARDS (g3 ibooks) AND topcases (trackpad etc) (from both g3 AND g4 12inchers and i think a 14incher in there for a g3)
An original airport card SOLD
hinge covers, a complete top case with LCD - may or may not be functioning, looks to be in good shape though.
thin metal sheets that go in side and over the back of the top cases and more...
I have a bunch of other stuff, and will post some pictures of the piles... but if you have an ibook g3 or g4 and are looking for a replacement part or just want something from one of them, let me know, i probably have it!
PM me an offer or drop one here with what you want and your offer (including shipping please)

Hi all, I recently rebooted and have noticed a small blue "bubble" on my screen. It is transparent and turns opaque when you mouse over it. If you click on it, it activates the function usually assigned to the F10 key for Expose. I can move it around the screen like something from Konfabulator. I do have both Konfabulator and Growl installed, but they are both off right now.. and this thing still won't go away. Any help?
That's the "Expose Blob." Do you have Cocktail? If so, Cocktail can turn that on and off.
If you don't have Cocktail, download it. It's shareware and you can use it for free for this one time. The best thing to do would be to spend the $9.95 for it in case the blob ever comes back.

I've been carefully monitoring the processor loads on my c2d macbook (the black one) to see what kind of processor I would be needing if I buy an air. The decision is really between the 1.86 and 2.13
My loads are:
1.03 .93. 87
These are with chrome and itunes and terminal running along with ical and the likes. nothing too heavy.
Any advice on which processor?
