Seems that everyone always has an issue with Apple product except for me. I guess I should consider myself lucky?
No, I believe you should find yourself in the majority. The minority lives here at MacRumors -- users that notice every small issue.
For example, I didn't notice the OpenGL slowdown with 10.6.4 until someone mentioned it and I ran a benchmark. Why? I don't play very many games and my computer has a Core i7 processor. Had I not read about it, I wouldn't have even noticed (probably).

Ive actually had decent results with the GoPro as far as a cheap camera goes. With your above requests that camera would suffice. However I wouldnt use it for ENG, Docs (well maybe as B-roll) or anything thatll need low-light.
Now of your budget is over 1k then we can talk better cameras ;)
Currently testing a Sony PMW-F3. Its the new Sony HD camera that can handle all kinds of lenses (PL yada yada).
We generally use the high-end stuff here at work e.g. RED MX but at times we have to purchase and assess lower end cameras for other depts.
If you need something to be safe around or in water, you cant go wrong with the GoPro. It impresses me more every time I use it. It isn't the most user friendly, but "bang for your buck" is, IMO, off the chart.
Ive been playing with one for a little over a month and it does some awesome stuff. Since I've had it I have seen them on TV several times, from Mythbusters to racing shows, to bizarre foods, to a new one about the bike couriers in NYC.
I have a GoPro as we speak. I will use that camera right away but need to familiarize myself with the hardware.
My only issue with that camera choice was the inability to replay the footage and see what needs to be shot over or the ability to play it back over a TV or similar.
I have the GoPro HD.
Is there a way to use the camera without the fish-eye lens? Everything I see with with the fish-eye look which is not preferable in my case.

Just ask them for a phone number and their address so you can come check it out.
If they say: My address is: blah street, come on over this afternoon...bring a parent and see if they really have it. (if you're interested)
If they say: HELLO THNK U 4 EXPRESSING INTEREST IN ITEM. I CURRENTLY IN NIGERIA SO ITEM WILL SHIP FROM THERE WILL ACCEPT PAYPAL OR WESTERNUNION......then you'd better abort mission. :) :eek:
Hey, leave my Nigerian friends alone. :p

I just found a vulnerability in the OS X password security. I can bypass the exact password as long as the password is correct up to the second to last character. For example, if the password is "Macintosh", the system will accept any of the following as valid:
"Macintos"
"Macintosh"
"Macintos[char++]"
"Macintos[int++]"
"Macintosh[char++]"
"Macintosh[int++]"
"Macintos"
"Macintosh"
"Macintos[char++]"
"Macintos[int++]"
"Macintosh[char++]"
"Macintosh[int++]"

It sounds like he was recruited into the gaming Mafia or something!Well, the gaming community definitely gets intense in their er... 'hobby' or lifestyle. They take things �berseriously. Like the person who stabbed someone w/ a screwdriver at one exhibition event. :eek: And come on, who wouldn't take a 'game' seriously if the prize was sponsored gaming set ups from big companies and free games/software/hardware and even beaucoup cash?! :p

Hey uknick, firstly welcome to MacRumors ;)
Yeah, I'm going to wait and order mine. I'm not rushing in to it. I'll order mine online also, unless I have good reason to pop in to town and buy the iPad2 from the local Bristol store. I'm still wondering if I really need it or not. Still deciding, but temptation is strong! :rolleyes:

Yep, basically every Apple product does this.
Confused. Turning the phone off and on again?
Yeah, I would power it off all the way and then turn it on

I'm imagining a scenario like this and wonder if it's technically doable and if it's a reasonable approach. Note that I'm a web programmer but not an iOS programmer.
A 12-person team is out in the woods on a scientific scavenger hunt for bugs. They stay in wifi range of a Mac that's running a web server with a web app I'll write. Each person has an iPad or iPhone running mobile Safari.
When one scavenger spots a gromphadorhina portentosa, he/she types its name in a web form and submits it. (Maybe we'll use abbreviations for the names!) The web app checks if a gromphadorhina portentosa has already been spotted and recorded, letting that person know. If it hasn't been spotted before, the scavenger takes a photo and collects other scientific information about the bug, which can stay on the local device until later. The purpose of the central web server is to prevent two scavengers from taking the time to record details about the same bug.
Optimizations could include using AJAX to check for matches as the user types.
Is this a practical way to do approach this problem? Are there smarter approaches I should also consider?

Drag the .app to the trash. Don't use cleanmymac, appzapper, appcleaner or any crap like that.
Ugh, I just bought CleanMyMac. Could you elaborate more why these products are bad to use? Thanks
Nevermind: I see someone just addressed my question as I was posting.

I'm waiting to see if it's region free.
I plan on buying one from Play-asia with Dance Central, Kinectimals, Joy Ride & Kinect Sports as Asian version is only �28 as opposed to �50 here. USA version's are region free - so I'm hopeful.
Though i also bought Playstation Move = that's pretty much doing nothing with my Wii for company at the moment. :rolleyes:

If I buy a family pack, can I get 5 shirts (if I have 4 people with me)? We're planning to be in line really early (school being closed kinda leads to intense boredom). UTC's answering message kinda implies they'll open for the Leopard release.

I have upgrade my iBook OS, from OS922 to 10.3.8.
(iBook G3 800 MHz, 384 Mb SDRAM, HD 40Gb, ADSL256)
Before I erased all data on my hard disk to zero. Clean installation also.
After that, as a result, I have a corrupted display and a freezed iBook!
(see attached...)
BUT, if I boot the iBook without extensions, (safe boot),
it's ok....
I have no ideas how to solve this bug. I tried to re install twice, no more success... I run Disk Utility, TechToolsPro, DiskWarrior, nothing special...
I think to understand a System log could help.
What does <The "HasShadow" window property is obsolete> mean?
How, and where learn to use those system log?
I usually manage well my troobleshootings, but I'm not at all experienced in Unix, BSD, and System log.

Is ATY the culprit? But how to debug this?

Hi, thanks for the responses.about the canon lenses: I use Nikon so my lenses are all black.
I'm not so sure I'd want to insulate my black lenses. An Inland Marine insurance policy is probably a much better deal.
