Apple really has a problem on their hands. The old displays are good, but the technology has been leapfrogged since.
Expectations are so high, OLED or LED backlight don't seem feasible at the sizes required 24", 27", 30" ?
The old/current matte displays look so lifeless, compared to new glossy displays. My new iMac has serious colour gradient problems, but I wouldn't trade it for a Cinema Display.
And that was indeed the choice I made...
I was prepared to go the more expensive route... 23" ACD & MacMini, if the ACD could be used as a monitor for a blu-ray player. But next to the glossy displays, no contest.
And nobody's going to pay the prices asked, for such old tech. no matter how good the quality... seemingly so close to an update, no matter how far away it is.

Hype often makes a good product look worse upon release. Nothing new there.... But why would people get excited over Apple releasing a cellphone, despite having no real info on the details of it yet?
Simple! Most of us are frustrated with the horrible user interfaces on cellphones, and the lack of usability. I've owned several that made dialing numbers on the keypad too much of a chore. My Razr I use now is decent, but even it has horrible engineering flaws - like putting small buttons down the side that always get pressed accidently when the phone is on a belt-clip. You end up accidently changing the settings for the ringer, etc. My Treo 650 had serious problems with call volume being too low. Almost every Treo owner had to pay extra for a shareware program called "VolumeCare" just to fix that! I'm just hoping Apple can overcome a lot of that, and build a cellphone with an elegant but logical UI!
You are going to be so disappointed when they announce the phone and you realize that they just released a phone. Yes, the phone is designed by Apple and has a nice UI, maybe one somewhat unique feature, but you're essentially going to be getting a fairly regular phone with a feature that most people would never use often.
I realize that it hasn't been released yet, but the iPhone will never live up to the hype. The number of people who have said they're waiting for it to be released in order to buy it is staggering.......and a bit scary. I wouldn't be waiting for a product when I haven't seen a photo of it, when I haven't seen a features list, a technical specs page, or even a release date. That's crazy.

This is a total no-brainer. T-Mobile doesn't have it's own network, it rents its airtime from Cingular... Apple and Cingular are already in bed. It's a trickle-down effect... T-Mobile wants their own iPhone. Not surprising, really. (and yeah, release the Cracken! (err.. iPhone!)...
T-Mobile is an independent network. It and Cingular have rented infrastructure to one another at various times in the past to mutually help with each other's coverage, but T-Mobile is a real mobile phone operator. (It's what used to be Voicestream.)
I'm not entirely sure why people keep propogating this myth. It makes no sense on the face of it.

While this is true in your area, it doesn't contradict what I said.
T-Mobile, contrary to what the person I was replying to said, does have its own network. In most areas where it operates, it is not using Cingular's network. In some areas, it uses Cingular's, and in others Cingular uses its, but in most areas, they're both independent of one another.
T-Mobile is the aggregate of most of the independent GSM operators that were coming online in the late nineties. Most of them were bought by Voicestream, T-Mobile took over Voicestream and then bought Powertel.
True. I had an Aerial phone from 1999-2000 and toward the end, the company was bought by Voicestream, which must have gotten all 15 of Aerial's towers in the U.S.A. ;) Verizon got the little purple alien's phone company.

The first adapter is what I use to connect to my MB i7 now (i.e., going from Dual-Link to MiniDisplay). Unfortunately, the PC is a laptop with a VGA port (no Dual-Link DVI). So I guess that offers a second option, which using a Dual-Link DVI female to VGA mail adapter. Would that work?
no, for at least a couple of reasons
i) the mini displayport to VGA adapter is passive, it means that it's designed to hook up vga displays to a mac with mini displayport and nothing else.
ii) VGA resolution is limited to 1920*1200, while the cinema display is 2560*1600
plus, if your video card has only one VGA port, it's probably too old to push so many pixels smoothly. Consider an upgrade.
EDIT: I've just read that you want to connect your laptop, not a desktop. sorry, there no solution in this case. :(

1st off, I like the new design aesthetically speaking. It looks more professional and elegant despite having so much content.
One problem for me however is that the left and right columns are of fixed width while the center column is of variable width.
This is superior when I'm viewing the site in a very large browser window on a desktop set to very high resolutions. However, at 'normal' sizes (I'm defining 'normal here as a browser window that takes up about 2/3 the width of an 18" screen set to 1024x768) the center column is unbearably narrow. In fact, when I make the browser window a bit smaller the center column completely dissappears (being wholy eclipsed by the side columns)!
I should note that I'm viewing the site from a Win2K box using IE6 (a fairly common setup even for a Mac-centric website I should think).
Anyway, thanks and keep up the good work.

I figured I'd get blasted for this after I post. The thing is, the share feature is incorporated into iTunes and lets you listen to other peoples music. I want to download their music so I can put it on my iPod. I'm still only listening to it and not selling it or making money off it.. I dunno.
That's still stealing music. They buy it. You take it for yourself. Stealing? Yes.

The VPN server is an AVM 7270 router/modem/voip box.
So you think she has to manually connect to the ip adress of my MacPro to be able to download files remotely?
How would I do this? Is it done in Finder somewhere?
In the Finder:
Menu Bar > Go > Connect to Server > Mac Pro IP or what ever the name of your machine is called Mac-Pro.local
And your done, might even bookmark it if you use it often.

OK then, a little advice.
What would be a good looking way to get an ad out to clients....
Just something quick. I don't want anything fancy or interactive, just something I can fire off in an email....
?
Ok what email client are you using? From what I read it seems that Mail.app doesn't have any options to send HTML emails. Though it is possible with that apple script posted earlier or perhaps a plugin of some sorts. (See you need to be able to change what type of email you are sending from text to html, which you can't really do in Mail.app).
You might want to try another client like Thunderbird. I read that there is an option to send email as HTML. Then all you would have to do is writeup a little html code to display your banner or whatever and then send it.
Of course the images would have to be stored on a server somewhere since sending the images as attachments won't work since most people won't bother opening the attacment.

At work. Someone I work with was on the phone with a friend at home watching the morning news and she heard about the first plane. Then the news about the second plane. At that point we figured this was more than an accident and a group of of went down to the cafe where they have a TV. There were already about 200 other people crowded around the one little TV.
Sigh...very sad just thinking about...

A genuine wow moment today. I was working on some small, everyday little project with a client for whom my every action on the machine was a minor miracle. Watching her react reminded me how genuinely cool the beast in front of me really is. Sure, primarily it's a tool that allows me to do my job, but there's passion and attention to perfection in there that seems worth pausing to appreciate.
So, WOW dual 2.5. And thanks for kickin butt for me.

NetBeans is pretty good, but is a bit of bloat. It will show warnings and errors in your files while editing them just like when programming Java. Personally though I just use a text editor (BBEdit), then as mentioned browser tools like Firebug can be great for debugging things.

The longer you keep hold of it, the less people will have a Mac that will require the older card (as they upgrade, they'll be wanting an Airport extreme card, or whatever comes along next to replace it).
Your best bet is probably just to pop it in the post to me � it'll go nicely with my G3 iBook. I won't charge you anything for taking it off your hands, seeing as how it's Christmas. :p

Hi. I'm a freelance designer...I guess I'm still just starting out. The holidays always make me think about trying my hand at designing prints for wrapping paper and gift bags. Most wrapping paper designs seem like something a competent designer could do with relative ease in Adobe illustrator...simple yet fun 2D vector designs of snowmen, snowflakes etc. I was wondering if anyone out there has tried this and if it's possible to successfully shop your designs around to manufacturers? Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Phil

does it have a vanity mirror?
Now there is an interesting twist. The display could turn into a mirror but instead of reflecting what they look like it could reflect what they want to look like. The computer would use something like Photoshop FL edition (For Ladies) to make them look like Kate Moss, Suzanne Summers, Petra Verkaik or their favorite star. A brave new world...
