meh...it's just to entertain. :)
that must of taken a lot of work :)
I hope not to see this thread turn into a 'MacRumors vs Spymac' war, or a Spymac-bashing thread. :rolleyes:
At the end of the day, we're just mac-related sites full of mac-lovers.
I wonder whether MacRumors will make a trailer? ;)

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor came to Speaker John Boehner�s side Monday, promising action by Friday to defend the Defense of Marriage Act, now that President Barack Obama has said he won�t.
�I stand by [Boehner�s] commitment to make that happen,� Cantor (R-Va.) said Monday afternoon at a press conference, promising to outline their plans in detail Friday.
Cantor said the Justice Department�s refusal to defend the law is a problem separate from the substance of the law itself, which allows states to decide whether to recognize same-sex unions in other states. The Justice Department has called another provision, that bars same-sex couples from receiving federal-worker benefits, unconstitutional.
�Again I do believe that this is a case that is distinguishable on its merits and to have the administration take the position, the president take the position, that he�s not defending the law of the land, is something very troubling I think to most members of the House,� Cantor said.
When pressed on what House Republicans planned to do, he demurred.
�I think you�ll see that on Friday,� Cantor said.
In a taped interview posted Monday, Boehner (R-Ohio) said the GOP-controlled House could appoint a special counsel to defend the law commonly known as DOMA, a suggestion first made by former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.).
�It�s an option being considered. �� Boehner said during an appearance on The Christian Broadcasting Network. �I�d be very surprised if the House didn�t decide that they were going to defend law.�
His office is currently researching several legal options and seeking feedback from other Republicans to determine how to proceed, Boehner said. A decision likely will be made by the end of the week.
�I�m really disappointed in the president and the Department of Justice in the fact that they�re not going to defend a law that Congress passed overwhelmingly. It�s their responsibility to do that. �� Boehner said. �But if the president won�t lead, if the president won�t defend DOMA, then you�ll see the House of Representatives defend our actions in passing a bill that frankly passed overwhelmingly.�
While taking legal action doesn�t require a vote in the House, the lower chamber could decide to pass a resolution reaffirming their support for DOMA and reiterating their justification for passing it in the first place.
A handful of Republicans, including House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas), have already filed friend-of-the-court briefs, backing the law in a number of court cases where its constitutionality is being challenged.
�We�re working with leadership to examine all the legal options before Congress,� said a senior Judiciary Committee aide.
But gay-rights activists say there�s a whiff of hypocrisy from the GOP�s pledge.
�Republican leaders have been claiming to want to focus on the economy, yet their insertion into this case would represent a hypocritical departure from that position,� said Michael Cole-Schwartz, a spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign, a gay-rights advocacy group.
That�s the same argument Republicans made last week as they criticized President Barack Obama for ordering his Justice Department to stop defending the 15-year-old law that defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman: Why was the president wading into a hot-button social issue now if his top priorities are jobs and the economy?
Anticipating that Republicans will mount a rigorous defense of DOMA, the Human Rights Campaign has been taken steps to fight back. Its leaders sent e-mail alerts to thousands of its supporters, launched a petition seeking to block the House from intervening, and have been huddling with Capitol Hill allies to develop a strategy.
�We�re all prepared for [Republicans] to intervene in some way,� Cole-Schwartz said. �The question is how do they do it, how do they roll it out, and what kind of political hay they want to make of it?�

At our store, they were yelling to the people in the hallway at about 7:00, "anyone want a free t-shirt?" So there was no need to buy one and the people at the store didn't seem to care about it, either.

Not only that - it looks like those in Congress who want to take up the case want FRC (SPLC certified Hate group Family Research Council) to partner with them on the cases. Congressional Republicans may want to rethink that as nearly all their research and positions will not hold up in a court of law (for example, a child does better if his or her same sex parents don't divorce, so obviously that must show a child raised by two members of the same sex will damage the child, no study on that needed!).
Yep. I actually think this will be a good thing for same sex marriage. It's a blessing in disguise.

send me an offer for the batteries and i'll let you know. It depends where I have to ship them to, but i'm not really sure what these go for now :)

Although it's over a year old I would speak to Apple as this would appear to be a manufacturing defect.
I'll prolly end up doin that.

if so, should i just wait that time and see if there more rumors about it?
If you aren't buying it now, then your only option is to wait. When you have the money, then take a new look at the buyer's guide to see if there are any new news about the ACD.
also, im just curious, what can apple improve?
Thunderbolt, possibly with daisy-chaining.

They are in the northeast, not the west coast, so I don't think 108 years qualifies as necessarily historic. This issue has nothing to do with historical preservation societies.
The original owners should have disclosed this fact and should be sued. I don't care if there is a law on the book requiring the specific disclosure of whether the house was used as a drug lab -- the house is hazardous to their health and that alone seems like a material fact that should be disclosed during the buying process.
This is why there are laws. People don't always do what is in the best interest of others.

Hi.
I tried to install and make use of USB network adapters as faster alternative to the classic Airport.
The first was an Asus WL-167g. The second was a D-Link DWL-G122. In either case, after installing the drivers, when trying to connect (or, in the case of the D-Link adapter, just after plugging it in), the computer gets blocked and I have a message saying in several languages that I must restart the computer.
Any ideas?
I noticed that both adapters share the same chipset (Ralink RT2500); may that's the problem? Any experience with working network adapters?

The biggest drawback with your current machine is the 3GB memory. Lightroom is much happier with 4GB or more. I used to have a late 2006 MBP15 and LR was sluggish with 3GB.
I should think the faster CPU will have a much greater effect on performance than the GPU. GPU speed is really only relevant for games and video rendering.
I have a personal preference for matte displays. I used to own a black Santa Rosa Macbook and I was not happy with the display. It was largely useless unless you were in a location where you could control reflections and glare. The added screen real estate in the 15 is useful too, and I felt constrained by the resolution of the 13" display. I have traveled with my MBP15 to Asia a couple of times, and its size and weight are easily manageable on trips.

Because they are using the illegal tethering issue to force people off grandfathered unlimited data plans. And to collect the legal tethering fees. You just put a block on there and they've got no leverage.

Although it runs like dirt on my 3Gs, it is an absolutely great app and had to grab it for .99$ so I would have it when I upgrade to the next iPhone.
Also I have seen and played with this app on the iPad 2 and all I have to say is you could DJ the best house party ever with this app and your iPod music.

Solution: download from here http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php
I wrote about the fail here: http://obamapacman.com/2011/05/fail-apple-itunes-mac-download-link-broken/
Update: I've tried OpenDNS and google DNS, flush cache, rebooted, still getting errors. But others are saying the Apple page is working for them.
I went to the website and checked as far down as iTunes 10.2 but they are all listed as being for Windows. Any for the Mac?

Does anyone get sound from the ipod (any gen) and from headphones when pulled in? I thought maybe it was a setting to have both at once. There is no decrease in sound on either device and it is the same when using an aux cable thru a sound system. It is not actually a problem it is just annoying!!

I have one and it works great. Video files (H.264/MOV) can be used in iTunes and iMovie, and you can Airplay them to your Apple TV 2 with excellent results.
I don't know about the battery life. I don't seem to have to charge it very often.
This could almost replace a "normal" camcorder but for two reasons:
(1) No optical zoom
(2) Poor low-light performance
For me it's a good supplement to my normal camcorder.

Yeah, this display is the newer and latest model (old was 2405wfp) and features adjustable stand, upgraded panel, usb hub and CF and other memory slots on the side built in.
i have this model and can add a 'highly recommend' for what it's worth. bright, amazing stand (up/down/swivel), and due to the extra inputs, i'm also currently using this for my PS3 and it looks amazing for games.
great price. if i didn't own one, i would buy this. best of luck.

My brother-in-law pre-ordered online for he and his sister. We are going to the store around 4pm Friday (after work, travel, etc..). If the phones are there, they're there. If they're not, they're not. I'm on the fence of whether or not I want to go with the 3Gs, but the two of them are dead set on it. i am more interested in checking out the new MBAs while I am there, and quizzing the staff to see if any of them have a clue about the 1.5G/s SATA issue on the MBPs :D
