Can we talk about the disparity between the dificulty levels? I played the game through the first time on heroic and I am not trying to pat myself on the back or anything but it wasn't that hard. I played the first level on legendary last night and I'm pretty sure I died at least a billion times. Whats the deal? I don't remember Halo 3 being like that.

I'd confirm it, I've been suffering almost half the battery life since updating. I worried it was the battery but my device is only 6 months old, I hope 4.3.1 does address the issue and that it's not really my battery.

My point is, the ping-pong effect, when it was used, was deliberate. It does sound strange now, but I remember when these albums came out people listened to them on headphones and thought the effect was cool.
I'm no Beatles historian by any means, but correct me if I'm wrong: weren't the first albums recorded in mono? The stereo versions were later, rather crude simulations of stereo, which is why they never made it to CD.
You are correct sir. I'd also agree with you that Rubber Soul and Revolver are the two best albums. They should not be interfered with.

Looks like the guy sold the app to the apple and made lots of money.

2 180watt strobes softbox covers, one in front of the model slightly above and 45 degree angled down and another on her right, but that wasn't firing and was only just for fill. My stupid cheap wireless trigger (the part that plugs into the strobe) busted so it wouldn't send a signal to the other strobe so I was going with just one flash.
I found the best and easiest strobe placements to memorize to start with are in front like this, and the classic rembrandt position. One light 45 degree off the model and then the light angled 45 degree down pointing at them. Google would probably have a diagram for the method.
It's hard to believe that girl had 4 kids. I can't wait to shoot with her again!
Thanks Jason. I have 2 150watt strobes, softbox covers and umbrellas as desired. Do your strobes have light sync? One trick I've discovered is to mount a flash on my camera hotshoe (facing up or away) and it's flash will trigger the strobes. I have a sync cable to one flash and use light sync for the other anyway.
Thanks for the placement advice.
4 kids?? !! R u kidding? wow

Update:Nope, still hasn't shipped. Darn me for custom ordering it... ;-)
Yeah, I first put an 80GB HD instead of the standard 60, and it wasn't due to ship until the end of the month. I completely forgot that customizing it would pust it way back. I immediately called Apple to cancel it. They said I was in luck as there usually weren't any people in to cancel orders at that time, but one guy happened to be in. Within a few minutes it was cancelled and I re-ordered it without customizing the Macbook nor iPod (engraving).
That phone call probably made sure my goods will arrive 2 weeks earlier than originally. Phew.
I too was hoping to get an upgraded iPod, but hey, no worries. My first iPod and I'm lovin it. Be nice if my MacBook comes with a Core 2 though >.> (wishful thinking)
If they upgrade the MBs substantially I will chew my bloody leg off. Don't get me wrong: while immensily enjoying my Core Duo Macbook. But still...

Oh come on. How often do we actually have to access our optical drives? While you may do so often, many of us almost never do and would be happy to attach an external drive every now and then or even access the disc we need over the network.
The optical drive in my laptop broke a few months ago. I haven't missed it much. The one time I did need it, I hooked up my external drive, so it is necessary to have one.

i don't understand why some people would long for 12 inch ones when macbook is 13 inches. don't tell me 1 inch will make that big of a difference.
and I also don't understand those who bash Apple for not making ultraportable laptops....only Sony makes the true ultraportable (TX series) and it is ultra-expensive. Other so-called ultraportable laptop makers usually lack media drive.
by the way, macbook is the best value of all laptops in the market, period.
finally, to those who would bitch about macbook not having a videocard, Apple is not a charity. They don't give you laptop for free.

steve is right, the basic thing is the ipod works well, and it is very simple to use. Itunes helps everything by being a first class program that is always getting frequent updates.
only thing is, apple needs to let record labels/artists come up with variable pricing.
so catalog albums will cost less, and labels can get money from singles.

Bad day for Apple. Worse day for Sony. Seriously though, Sony just needs to realize that hot electronics are not good. Playstation 2's have always had problems overheating and now Sony's laptop batteries are blowing up. And think, the new Sony Playstation 3s have a souped up G5 (Cell) chip in them. You should be able to barbecue on those things! It plays games, blu-ray disks and cooks your breakfast!

it does not even make sense to put a phone there, since when can phones do RSS? Its just really fishy tt it is placed alongside the ipod and itunes.
Quicktime delivers mobile content and that is decent 3gpp phone. The phone is just one possible device Apple's software ends up compressing for. Woo-hoo scalable HD video!

1. You are not married.
2. You don't understand wives.
-or -
1. You and your wife must fight a lot and you just do it anyway.
2. You rule your house with an iron hammer
-or -
1. You have a relationship where you guys have enough money that neither one of you have to worry about negotiating purchases.
2. Your wife gets whatever, whenever she wants.
3. You only make one purchase for yourself ever 2-3 years.
Trust me in a marraige, it is never as easy as "I am going to buy this." Sometimes to keep the peace, you just gotta say "yep" and do what she wants.
'nuff said
Get married, and own a home or have a kid or two you would will figure it out.
I agree with you 100%, well said.

I've downloaded the dmg and the installer has a customize option. In it there is a greyed out option to install "iTunes Phone Driver"... is that just the Motorola Rokr driver?
I noticed this too, and came to check this thread for someone mentioning it.
Jeej!

Guys.. and I know this is a stretch. Remember the big uproar Jason O'Grady started with his fake stories of LCD screens from Apple around the NAB timeframe if memory serves. I suspect it was a typical O'Grady tactic to drive eyes to his site.. however if you think about it.. the 23" iMac with improved Front Row and VESA mount, could serve as this type of thing on a smaller scale obviously. It will not compete with my Mac Mini via DVI to a 50" DLP.. that just rocks.:D
Has anyone suggested that the 23" iMac could be that long awaited "30th Anniversary Mac." Unless of course they're waiting on releasing a mini-tower with Conroe and dub that the "Mac" making a return for their 30th anniversary year. One or the other, I wouldn't be suprise if they bring back some of that 30th anniversary year fanfare for the release of one of those two. A 23" iMac would definitely be claim worthy of the name, especially if they could squeeze a conroe in it and put it in cinema display aluminum enclosures. Oh well, just me dreaming I guess. Oh, and a sub-$2000 price point wouldn't hurt either! I do want to see conroe inside some mac before this time next year though...

That's because Best Buy stopped showing iPad 2 availability online a few weeks ago (and Milo requires this), because they are currently trying to fill their backlog of orders and reservations with every iPad they get. They stopped taking orders at the same time. Once they fulfill all their orders and start having stock, I'm sure they will switch the future back on, that let's you check local inventory.
On a side note, I went to an Apple store in Indianapolis, at 9:30am at the end of last week and there were about 150+ people in line. I didn't realize they were still opening the store an hour early every day to sell the iPads they had received in the previous day. I wonder how long this will go on for.
I dont know that this is correct, I've been checking their online local inventory every day, and availability shows up in patches all over, unfortunately all I have called about say it is for reserved units.
But the point is that when they got them in, it showed in the database.

Do you have any idea of how racist and xenophobic that sounds?
Why is it racist and/or xenophobic to point out unpleasant trends?
In the US, black offenders make up nearly 30% of all arrests despite comprising only 12.5% of the general population. What's interesting is that if we break it down into pre-and post age 18, the percentages are roughly the same. (sources from 2008-9 data - wiki and FBI (http://www2.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2009/data/table_43.html)
The trend continues if we go across the pond - (source - BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/6753695.stm)) I had trouble finding figures for adults, but:
Black people make up 2.7% of the UK population aged 10 to 17, but represent 8.5% of those in that age group arrested in England and Wales, the report said.
Now, let's look at Sweden. It's difficult to get precise statistics because of the way Sweden records criminal activity, but this article (http://super-economy.blogspot.com/2010/04/immigrant-crime-in-sweden.html) extrapolates the crime rate attributable to immigrants in Sweden. To wit:
The over-representation is even higher for middle eastern citizens, who are 6.6 as likely as Swedish citizens to be in prison.
Lastly African citizens are 10.9 times as likely as Swedish citizens to be in prison.
We see the same pattern in three different countries. It doesn't behoove us to simply cry "racism" when confronted with something we don't want to see. We do better for everyone, not just the affected group, to attempt to find the root of the problem and properly address it.
Britain is very class based, and is probably racist too. Black people here are generally poor and don't do particularly well at school as well.
While I appreciate the correlation between poverty and crime, that doesn't adequately explain why Sweden with its incredibly generous welfare system trends the same way as countries with less extensive benefits.

Heh. Those were the days. 2001 where the only forum I frequented was a nirvana one and my small compact music player was a Sony mini-discman. Still have it and works to this day. Have dozens of minidiscs in the cupboard, full of old radio shows i used to listen to. Unlike those old cassettes, they sound fantastic still! :)
