If the school confiscates your laptop, you go to the police and file charges. FOR WHAT, ENFORCING SCHOOL RULES?
And the school is in big trouble. Technically what they did was stealing. They have absolutely no right confiscating anything. THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO CONFISCATE ON THEIR PREMISES IF THEY BELIVE ITS A RISK TO THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE.
What they can do is prevent your access to the building if your are carrying something which they deem "against the rules". But taking away a $1000+ notebook? That's a serious offense HARDLY
and I wouldn't let it go so easily. File a complain with the school administration, if they don't react, go to the police. I am serious. There are some things which you just can't let slide. THE POLICE WILL TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE, FACT.
You don't have a clue what you're talking about do you...?

I'll get slammed for this - but I don't care. Apple is playing a big part in the dumbing down of (some of) society by taking control/options away from users and keeping a walled garden.
Making tech simpler and more enjoyable to use for everyone is *helping* society. You shouldn't need any kind of extra training to use a "computer."
Apple's "walled garden" is the REASON for their success. Didn't you know that? They've been doing the walled garden thing for over a decade. The result? Exxon Mobil's about to occupy second place. Apple has more spare cash than the total worth of a lot of not-insignificant tech companies. And consumers time and time again have given their consent. Apple's approach is a *good* thing for everyone. Their results show pretty clearly that consumers have said YES to Apple's approach. Yes in good times, yes in a recession. It's been constant, some would say totally unprecedented growth for Apple. That's huge. Both because a lot of their gear tends to be more expensive, their ecosystem is controlled, and they usually don't license anything out to anyone (I thank my lucky stars for this last point every day.)
We don't need more "options." There are so many options out there it's absolutely staggering. What we *need* is simpler, usable, enjoyable tech, for *everyone.* Throwing an ocean of options at the user is not the answer. Having a ****-load of options available purely for the sake of having them available, is not the answer. Making tech easy, accessible, and as worry-free as possible is the answer. That means you can't take the stuff you make and let other people mess with it. That means closed licensing. That means actually paying attention to what is done with the tech. That means keeping a tight rein on who can alter it and how it's done.
This is why Apple is so successful, usually by doing the opposite of everyone else. Which, in turn, prompts everyone else (with a few exceptions) to move more in Apple's direction, ironically.
Now your mom and your grandma can use tech and look like experts doing it, thanks to Apple. If you think that particular perspective doesn't matter, you're in for a huge surprise over the next few years.

Ah yes, the old America-is-cheaper-than-the-world problem. You are right, the iPhone *can* cost more in some markets. I was talking about the American market.
And yes, more Android phones are sold than iPhones as long as you lump all the Android phones into one big bucket, including all those Asian knockoffs that are Android in name only.

The only benefit to transcoding prior to effects/grading would be to aid system performance. It will not result in better image quality.
Yes and no, as I understand it. A smart guy said "sure when you transcode an 8bit 4:2:0 file to ProRes you won't be getting any more bits in the bucket, but you get a bigger bucket to swirl them all around in." (I paraphrase)
Every time you hit "render", your file gets rendered in whatever you have asked FCP to use. If it's an 8-bit 4:2:0 format (even DV) then the calculations applied to those colours may shift them away from the rest of the footage (or to use that metaphor, swirling the bits in that small bucket will result in losing some). Render a clip over and over again (say, text overlays) and the shifts may become noticeable. You may also get compression artefacts sneaking in.
ProRes is high bitrate, 4:2:2 10bit colour so more subtle variations of colour can be rendered in, rather than the crude 8bit steppings you sometimes see in things like DV.
Flipside, I reckon editing AVCHD directly is fine if you are usually a "cut this, butt that, overlay this, trim that" kind of guy. And I am.

So 1 in 20 people who have a cellphone have an iPhone. Not bad at all.
The amazing part is how many models the companies above them (and below them) are selling to get to where they are.

I propose that you have veto power over what is discussed from this point forward. If something is too cool or brought up too frequently you�ll be responsible for calming down and silencing the rest of us.

I�d like to back CoffeeDrinker here. Referencing software a specialized software packages. Most of them will meet a long list of requirement, including (1) access and download of citation data and original documents to a dozen or sometimes more than a hundred paid or free databases, (2) managing large sets of references, often including the PDF of the original, in a meaningful way, and (3) create citations and lists of references in new texts, according to one of dozen (sometimes >100) formats prescribed by journals. This is all complicated because scientific disciplines are very different in terms of ways to cite (often for good reasons): medical researchers quite different form historians, and economics quote different from electrical engineers. With this complexity and with the widely diverging user needs, it would not make sense to me to have this all integrated into an office suite like Office.
While Endnote is certainly among the best known, there is a wide range of such programs, ranging in focus, functionality, and price (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_reference_management_software).
I�d like to highlight Bookends, a Mac-specific program that is very reasonably priced and has served me and many other enthusiasts for already quite a while. Its developers offer great support and regularly implement needs expressed by their users. For students and other users that are on a tighter budget, Zotero offers a good open-source alternative.
All the best, Rudi

Whoops, missed that.
Well, why wouldn't a Mac recognise 32TB? Of course it will, however, you only get 32TB of usable storage if you configure that device as JBOD or RAID0 (which is bonkers).
But to be honest, the probability that everyone here has got a Mac with that very unit, so that he can tell you specific details is almost zero.
So your best bet is to call the Dulce and ask them anything you want to know.
For $5000 (does it actually include drives? If not, add another $3000) I definitely wouldn't buy that thing without knowing every little detail about it.

Obviously not.
The point is, Apple doesn't need to release the iPhone 5 yet. They think can keep wooing us with a third iteration of the iPhone 4.
Exactly... they know they have majority of the market share.

Makes sense. That's probably one of the biggest uses of the ATV and Apple doesn't get a cut of that action.
That being said, Netflix inclusion is the only reason I bought the ATV2. If they cut Netflix, I'll by another product.
Apple should just buy Netflix.
I doubt it. There would be an "anti-monoply" uprising so big that it makes the AT&T/T-Mobile merger look popular.

You do realise that Vista's thunder is only being stolen amongst the Mac users. Don't kid yourself, the release of Vista is going to be the biggest thing in software releases in the world's media this year. Leopard is small change compared to the massive amounts of press that MS are going to drum up for Vista.
My list of releases in terms of press coverage:
1. Vista
2. Office 2007
3. Adobe Creative Suite 3
4. Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard
Don't get me wrong, I'm a great Mac fan but you just can't seriously think that the next release of OSX is going to steal any press thunder from the long-awaited new version of Windows. The press will eat up anything MS feeds it, they'll hail all the features we've had for years that have finally made it into Vista as the most innovative and fresh ideas and this is why Apple won't be releasing until at least March.
Come March, any press stories about Vista troubles will be at their peak after new adopters have had it on their systems for a month and any bugs will be showing themselves. It's then that Apple need to get OSX into the mind of the public.
You are 100% correct. We will be bombarded by the MS media blitz. MS has always been a better marketing company than a tech company. Nearly every app that MS has was bought, borrowed, or stolen from somebody else. They are successful due to much better marketing of their product.

If you always have lots of active threads, and you're concerned about overall throughput and not how fast each thread runs, then the Sun T1000 might make sense. It's similar to the Blue Gene, in that it has lots of slow processors. (The T1000 is 4-way Hyper-Threaded per core, and most of us understand the issues with hyperthreading.)
The Woodcrest has much faster performance per thread, but only has four cores (threads) per dual socket system.
Also note that Sun's power, performance and heat claims haven't been updated - they're still comparing their systems to Netburst Xeons, not Woodcrest.
