This is so weird. I mean I have an iPod touch 4th gen, DS, PSP and I've got all my handheld consoles stored away. But I just can't get into iPod gaming. Your fingers get in the way most of the time and it just doesn't feel like a fully polished experience for 99% of games on the App store.
That's because touchscreen interfaces are still a new thing and it's going to take time and trial-and-error to figure out how to best use it for gaming. We're already seeing little moments of brilliance here and there. Have you tried Super MonkeyBall or Myst on iPad? They're right at home--better than in their original platforms.
But most game companies aren't looking at that yet. Right now, we're dealing with a lot of game companies wanting to impose virtual buttons or joysticks on the screen, which IMO, is a kludge. But then a game like Angry Birds comes along and it's a huge hit because they work with the hardware instead of trying to tie it down to the old way of doing things. Imagine playing Angry Birds on a console. What a painful experience that would be. And yet on a touchscreen, it's a pure joy.
Give it time. This touchscreen gaming thing has just started, and it will continue getting better as game companies figure out how to work with the hardware instead of fighting it.

Hi diddly-ho neighbors- Alright- I have had PCs until recently and switched over to Macs. I now have 3 macs! Geez, I am crazy! Well, my ipod wants music and I want to make my new ipod happy so where is the best place that isn't expensive to download music for a mac user? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch.

Hi guys, so I have a 2010 13" 1.86 GHz 4 GB RAM MBA and was wondering if you think it will run Lion smoothly.
I don't really do anything intensive with my laptop. 95% of my usage consists of internet browser, Microsoft Office apps, email, calendar, HD videos and iTunes. I was just wondering if I'll get the same "smooth" performance I get now running Lion.
Thanks!
Yes it will run Lion smoothly. Even better than SL.

More info required: When you scroll to the bottom of the Cydia front page, what does the version number say? 1.0.3222-73? And are the apps you got in Cydia still there? Can you add a repository to Cydia? Do you have iFile and SSH? And you aren't using any cracked apps, are you?

Start the bidding at $100 and see where it goes. People love original 1st and 2nd get iPods. I know I've seen some used 5GB models sell for about that and they were a little rough. Otherwise I would just recommend watching some similar ones on eBay to see what the auctions end at.

I have an ultimate 11 inch machine. 4 gigs, 1.6 processor. The 4 gigs is perfect, but
1) I would like the processor to be a little bit faster. Some apps that I run, are just a "bit" laggy.
2) I would also like 256 gig SSD. I actually think I need about 200 gig.
3) I would also like a bit more physical screen size.
It's almost perfect.
If by "a bit more physical screen size" you meant a bigger display, you have just described the 13" MBA, 1.86GHz with 256GB SSD and 4GB of RAM, $1699 ($1799 with a 2.13GHz processor).

I agree completely.
Once you hear "analyst" in a report or rumour you know it has more to do with them trying to buy or sell some shares than anything based on fact. I don't think I have seen one comment from Piper Jaffrey or other analysts being factually accurate unless they are reporting from an official press release, and even so you have to be careful. :)

Wow, didn't see that coming. Caught me completely by surprise!

Given the alternatives on the market and in development, I'd just as soon see somebody else take a crack at it and let M$'s POS die.

Ok - so the Ipad 2 jailbreak will be released in as little as a day and it will be as simple as going to a website like the jailbreak.me that was done in the past. I expect someone with an Ipad 2 and Optimum 1.0 to help us all out!

All that needs to be done is to have the Macs that are not part of the "original" all-in-one series (128k, 512k, Plus, etc.) moved up in the heirarchy so we have
68k Desktops
Original (I'd include the SE, SE/30 and various Classics in here as well)
Macintosh II
LC series
Mac TV

Apple considers the warranty invalid. But if you should have any issues with the iPhone I would just restore the whole iPhone back to its normal settings and bring it in. But I'll be honest with you, ever since I've jailbroken my iPhone I haven't had any issues with it. I hope there are others out there who can attest to this too. But from my personal experience I haven't had any issues.

not that anyone cares, but I (and some Apple employees) found the problems. Apparently Sandy Bridge machines HAVE THE EXACT same problem has I have. They loaded a TIFF file from my machine onto a floor model, same deal as I have. They loaded the same file onto a pre-SB machine, loads A-OK.
So they are sending in my logs to the software engineers to make them aware of it, as I am assuming this is the first case they have encountered. I am wondering if old NEF files (such as D2x etc) have the same problem?
In anycase, lets hope they can give me an answer in the next few days.

That's a pretty slow HDD to begin with, maybe not 20MB/s slow, but my 7200 RPM 320GB drive gets around 70-75MB/s, which should be considerably faster than a 160GB 5400, due to both rotational speed and data density. You may just have a slowly dying HDD, so it may be a good time to upgrade it.

Agreed, but the latest nano is pretty poor, was surprised, seems very unapple-like. There is room for a good ultra portable small music player (gyms etc, I see so many ipods) and for them to please, please make a good quality headphone as standard, the ones that come with ipods (of any price) is pathetic. So, let's see what they do.
I bought a new nano specifically for the gym, I have a 160gb Classic that stays in my car, and an iPhone. Still love the dedicated for music iPods.
