Been hearing of people who use power splitters to power two cards, but don't know much about it.
It's been done before, but users have to be careful due to how much current is drawn from each rail (+12V). Pull too much current from any rail, and you will trip protection circuits at best, and possibly even blow the PSU. If the latter happens, you could damage other parts of the system.
What makes this harder in the MP, is I don't recall any information as to what the current limit is, or trace out which rail is which.
Anyone item in itself will is not going to be worth $1000.00, but you start to include all these items, it adds up pretty quickly.
Aluminum is a lot more expensive metal then steel & plastic.
Aluminum may be more expensive than steel, but there's not enough of it to remotely justify an additional $1k on an SP Mac Pro. Not even adding in the cost difference between the PSU's (btw, you can spec out a larger PSU in the Dell's, and it's mandatory with some options IIRC).
In terms of reliability, we're talking about workstations, which are designed to be more reliable than desktops (tend to see things like better cooling, layout, ... vs. desktop counterparts).

I'm getting the same whine/slight vibration from my macbook since updating. I have a few questions.
1. How do I downgrade this update? If I can't downgrade, will a clean install of os x do the trick?
2. What temp. should my macbook be running?
3. Does anyone have a link to a temp. app/widget?
I have exactly the same ******* problem!
Damn ...
The last firmware update cured my rsd and made it run really cool - everything was perfect!!!!
NOW - it's HOT again AND i have a strange "WHINE" sound - just like you!
Grrrrrr ...
I think i read somewhere that you can't downgrade!!!!
:eek:

First, Netflix doesn't work any more on my Macbook pro. It keep crashing and asking me to delete and reinstall Silverlight. When it did that multiple times in one movie, I just stopped using it.
Second, Netflix doesn't work any more on my iPad. The app just stopped working.
Third, when Netflix did work on my iPad, the picture quality was terrible.
So yes, I'm all in favor of Apple launching a competing service. A low cost is hardly a bargain if it doesn't work on any of my devices.

I swear to God, I hope iDVD isn't gone completely but more integrated into iMovie or something along those lines. iDVD is one of my favorite applications in the iLife suite. :mad:
The 64-bit rewrite thing is pretty awesome though. Hopefully iTunes will be a part of that (doubt it though).
NO WAY iTunes will be part of the 64-bit rewrite if it happens to iLife. That would have happened with iTunes 10 if it was going to happen!
Agreed. The transition to 64-bit is long overdue and iDVD is a great application.

Well we can look forward to one thing after the announcement...People immediately speculating when the next update to the product line is...

That's one of the things we have to live with, being Apple fans. It's part of our Religion!

The Japanese have a very high social contract. They live and work in tight quarters so they follow the rules as to not offend anyone. It's part of their culture. I don't see the connection with this and healthcare.

Yes it's a small screen, but subtitles would benefit many people not just deaf people.

i love my apple tv 2, i would be very interested to see apple's subscription service, if they kill netflix ability on the atv2 i'll be pissed. i don't like the idea of apple buying money on netflix because i want competition, and i'm sure apple wouldn't allow third party devices, ie-bluray players, game consoles, etc, to get in on the action. they don't allow itunes renting on third party devices now.

Fake?
Anyone else think it's a fake? I don't see how the front facing camera could possibly follow his head _way_ off to the side the way it does... but I could be wrong (don't have an iPad2 to see how wide angle the lens is)
Not fake. This has been demonstrated on the Wii and the DS. Very simple to do actually.

It would be interesting to separate out the corporate vs. personal computer purchases. It is hard for Mac to get much above 5% when corporate puchases are included. BTW, it would be interesting to see how many of those "computers" are just dumb terminals used in stores and schools etc.
Remember, there are lies and there are statistics. :rolleyes:
The survey was a consumer survey, not a corporate procurement department survey. So that 18% figure for desktops and 17% for laptops appear to be the percentage of consumers that are considering a Mac purchase. As a poster pointed out above *planned* purchase doesn't necessarily translate into *actual* purchase, but it's definitely an encouraging sign to se 15 to 20 percent numbers for consumer purchases. I think Apple would be ecstatic to get 15% of
the consumer market this holiday season. I don't think Apple is even considering any significant corporate push now. Apple knows it has a much better chance of success in the consumer market.

No one knows yet. My guess is that they will not work w/FCP X, but only time will tell.

Do u know about transitions?

Man, even after midnight PST, the stream is unwatchable. I can't go >1 minute w/o some significant multisecond complete stoppage or major video glitch (where only the audio comes through). The results are equally bad on both my PC and Mac. I'm going to have to either wait a few days or start looking for a torrent.
I think last year's keynote was this bad too or worse the first day.
Maybe Apple should rent some time on Discovery Channel at ~3 am like TiVo does for "Teleworld paid programming" (for their clips) so that PVR and VCR owners can at least record it. It might even save on their bandwidth bill to Akamai.

Let's call things what they are....
Sure, lots of people out there realized they could magically "become a student" at some area school in order to receive an Apple discount on some hardware. It's deceitful - but if the practice was actually costing Apple money, you'd have seen them auditing all edu. purchases long ago.
The fact is, the edu. discount has generated quite a few new Apple customers who probably wouldn't have purchased one otherwise. And even at the discounted prices, they're high enough that Apple's still making a profit on those sales. Just not as large of one as they think they can usually get from the general public for the products otherwise.
I personally know a guy, for example, who bought a quad G5 tower using an educational discount, even though he's been done with school for quite some time. He had to scrape and beg to get the cash together for that system, even at the edu. price - and it involved selling his other Windows PCs too. He was convinced by the "Mac faithful" that it was a "better way" to do things, and at the edu. price, it was just *barely* possible for him to get it.
What good would it do Apple to punish him and lose a new customer forever, vs. give him a couple hundred bucks discount on a $3000+ machine?
Oh come on .. Well know why this was done. Just go read the post about when it was released. I could see this coming a mile away. Either a they would do this or b they would start doing the audits they talk about with educational purchases. There must have been atleast 50 people who blatantly posted about abusing the discount on a "public forum" and hundreds maybe thousands more who thougt of it. Lets say I owned a store and I saw a forum online where 50 plus people said they knew a way to rip off my store, do you think I would leave it vulnerable? I dont know ... maybe this is the reason or maybe it isnt but I think ts great they did it. Because now all the people who thought they could do this and thought its no different from walking in a store and walking out with out paying for an item, will have to mow a few more lawns or bag a few more grocerys and pay what the rest of the honest people out there will. I know I know I am sounding uber negative here but not nearly as negative as someone trying to justify stealing on a "public forum".

are your finder window's translucent? How did you do that?
It actually is a terminal window. (The application in Applications/Utlities)
I only wish I could make my finder windows transparent...

I'm not sure how many people would want a smaller macbook.
Depends on what you mean by smaller. If you mean thinner, lighter and generally less bulky then count me in.

If they do something like that, I'd expect that iLife and iWork '07 won't work with Tiger and that would be a shame.
I wouldn't make that assumption. Just because iLife ships only with new Macs of the same model year doesn't mean that you're stuck with iLife '05 on your 2005 Mac. It could easily be the case that iLife will be optimized for Leopard with enhanced features, but will still be compatible with Tiger (remember the days when software was optimized for Altivec but didn't require it?).
Of course, it's not impossible that iLife '07 will be Leopard-only, especially if it doesn't add anything to iLife '06 functionality. I can't think of any obvious new functions for iLife to add. More themes, some reorganization, etc. would be new features, but not breaking any new ground.

Another question based on a difference I see to Katrina - why am I not seeing any animals? After Katrina there were lots of rescued/abandoned dogs etc. Are pets not so prevalent in Japan?
And a lingual question - why the use of the word 'prefecture' all the time? As in Chiba prefecture, why not just Chiba? Isn't it unecessary, like saying 'Caifornia state' or 'Los Angeles city/county' all the time?
PS. I didn't see USA right at the top the chart at first. Maybe a big arrow to point it out. Anyway, how is Finland and Sweden etc healthier than Australia and Greece, do they not get more colds and flus than we in warmer countries?

ˆhuh? :confused:
Anyhoo... all went very smooth today, despite the earlier issues. Got to the store just before opening (10AM) and was out the door in 20 minutes.
For those keeping count, the employee helping me did tell another customer that their store only received 20 phones. This was in Long Beach, CA.
Sorry to hear that some of us have to wait 'til the next shipment. The stories here can lead one to believe something diabolical, or irresponsible at least, could have been going on in some places. :(
BTW... half of the dozen or so people waiting outside with me, prior to opening, were there to see if there were any iPhones available for those who hadn't preordered. They were quickly turned away once inside.
