This pisses me off. He ran this past Tour de France as his last race, and claimed he would retire afterwards. And everyone gave him the whole "bye, Lance, we love you" treatment.
This is almost as bad as Michael Jordan's TWO fake retirements or Barbra Streisand's endless "farewell" tours. If you say you're going to quit, quit. But don't say you're going to quit, act like you HAVE quit, and then say "I'm coming back".
If he comes back, I will lose all of my respect for him. He's been a man of his word up to this point.

Here's the situation...
Going to a party. The room has power, but the house does not have internet (believe it or not...), and the area doesn't really get strong cell/data signals.
Are there any speakers that I can simply plug into a power outlet (or use batteries) and then can talk to my iPhone (or MacBook) wirelessly/bluetooth, and the sound can fill a room maybe 45ft x 60ft (doesn't have to be super loud like a concert, more like background music). I would like there to be 2 (or more) speakers in the room so everyone can hear clearly. Portable speakers with an iPhone dock (like a Base SoundDock or or Logitech S715) I don't think will cut it - I don't want to have to have it cranked up by some people just to folks on the other side of the room can hear ok.
Fine if I have to get something to plug into the iPhone/laptop, or some main "controller" unit that I have to plug into them that then talks to the speakers. Basically I'm envisioning something like a Sonos S5 that doesn't require an internet connection (which it seems to from all the material I have read). I'm flexible on dollars - just can't have any cords running across the room. Or like a Jawbone JAMBOX, but have the ability to set up 2+ speakers at the same time (doesn't have to be stereo, which I'm not sure would even be possible anyways).
Thanks so much everyone!! :apple:

I agree completely. Enjoy your new Birthday gift.
No one but Apple knows a date, what SB will or won't bring or anything at this point.
To many uncertainties ... now the speed is good, so is the heat and fan noise ... best we've ever seen on the Airs.
Have fun.

Wow, that was sweet!
But yes, make that Apple logo appear for an extra 1.5-2 seconds or so. :)
Well, yeah - I played around with that, I just thought it went well with the music as it is, but maybe I'll re-hash it and add a 24" as well...
it won't load for me - anyone else with that problem?
D
i don't know why that is, it seems to take a lot longer than last night when I uploaded it.
I've mirrorred it on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MdW-X0L_-U), but of course it's nothing like as good quality, and to make matters worse it comes out in the wrong ratio!

Call your local discount broker's office- TD Ameritrade, eTrade and ask them if it's possible.
+1
Getting advice on the internet about whether its possible is not going to get you what you need. Calling a brokerage firm will quickly enough confirm if this possible.

So when are you planning on doing this? Don't see anywhere in the top 100 :p
and my G5 gets a bit of a rest instead of folding 24/7. It uses a lot of power and am trying to cut down my electric bill.
If i told you then it would not be a secret. I lost another work unit to the beta client.....however i still am getting decent daily output. I will tell you when i am in the top 100......o and by the way i am not folding under trainguy77.....You may already know what i am folding under but if you don't.....I will tell you when i am about to overtake you. :D
EDIT: by the way I may be a couple thousands points behind you so it will just be a long steady haul.

Didn't get the ad screen for me but I've stopped visiting SpyMac a loong time ago.
And yes I hate those animated adverts, makes me vow to never buy the product that's being advertising. Had an odd situation on another website awhile ago, where the page would never render correctly in Safari when a Microsoft Office banner came up. If it was any other ad then the page would render fine, if it was Microsoft's turn then I would have to use Firefox...conspiracy I tell you! :eek: :p

If it is your first, then buy either the base 21.5" or ultimate 27". From what I have been reading here, those two are the best so far since the base model of the 21.5" is such a large upgrade from any of the previous models. Since you aren't going to do anything crazy like many of us, you'll be pleasantly surprised with an iMac.

I'm doing a website that will have some Flash animation in it. Is there a way to have it to where the browser can be checked to see if it has the Flash Player to view the Flash animation, then if it doesn't have it, a JPEG or GIF of the same dimensions as the Flash animation will be put in it's place?
Any help is appreciated :)

This does look like iOS4 is turning into Apple's Vista. I've begun noticing odd quirks with my iPhone 4. Frequently, the screen refuses to shift into landscape or portrait mode when I turn it. The only thing that seems to fix the problem is a re-boot of the phone. Reception is still wonky. In the exact same location it will shift from 5 bars of 3G to 1 bar of EDGE, then 1 bar of 3G and then to 3 bars of EDGE. I've had several bizarre syncing problems when either iTunes or iPhoto reported simply, "An error has occurred."
When it works, it's great. But it certainly has been more finicky than my old 3G, which was rock-solid.

From the One to One Terms of Service (http://www.apple.com/retail/onetoone/terms.html):
That's interesting. The way I understand it is that I can buy my Mac somewhere else and then go to Apple within 14 days to buy the 1to1. Am I understanding that correctly?

I'm not being snotty...
I'll be snotty for a moment...
Designers can get overly focused in on fonts. I know, because I was once. I have spent waaay too many hours searching through font libraries, trying to find the perfect typeface for this project or that. All the while creating crappy design because I wasn't paying enough attention to the hierarchy of information, letter spacing, kerning, leading, composition, scale, contrast, rhythm, color scheme, negative space, photo selection, or photo color correction. There are so many more important aspects of design than font choice. I could design with nothing more than Helvetica and still create compelling design.
My suggestion... get yourself a handful of workhorse typefaces, and work on those other aspects of design. It will do far more for your work than the latest font ever could.

Oh, you mean the title of the browser page says "Hi" up the top, and then what they read in the actual web page is your Green writing?
I never knew it was that simple in code... I only did it by filling in the appropriate box within GoLive.
but there seem to be layers and layers... there are CSS things I have no idea about that do involve code. We should "Matrix load" our different skill sets to each other (if only I could lie in that Matrix couch for a few days... I would upload so many things.):)

thanks for the thread link. i have seen the apple page, and need more info, as it only lists achievements rather than talks about them. thanks again.
What are you talking about? The first link gives an overview. The last link goes into great technical detail. You have to click the links and read more than just the first page.

For the people planning on showing up at 2 am or 5 am or any time before 7 pretty much... is it because you don't have a reservations, or because you need to get your phone before work at 9? Or is it for any other reason? Do you not believe it will be possible to get a phone if you show up at say 7 or 8 am?
If I have a reservation and I show up at 8 am, do you think there will be a phone for me? Personally showing up at 8 am and waiting 3 hours would be much more pleasant than showing up at 4 am and waiting 3 hours and getting the first phone at 7.
Is it just because people need to have their phone at 7 am that they camp out, or because they are worried they will not otherwise get one?
