I've got an iBook G4 1.2 and use FCP on it. In fact, FCP HD. If you know your way around the FCP's Media Manager, you can compress your DV footage down to something the iBook can handle. It won't look as good, but for straight editing with no effects and so forth, it works terrifically. Then you transfer your edit "file" back to a faster machine (in my case, a G4 dual 533) and do all your uncompressed DV renders in there.
So my answer is this, yes, the iBook can handle FCP if you:
1) Don't use exotic effects -- just straight edits
2) Use Media Manager to compress your DV footage to smaller, faster files
3) Use another, faster machine to handle the full-on rendering of the original, uncompressed footage
Now, having said that, I've used the same technique on an iBook G3 600 ("son of Pismo") with the same great results. On that machine, it TOTALLY maxes out the processor, but it still works.
Hope that helped...

Thanks for the informative video. Do you think it would be possible for the user to trim those two areas (home button and light sensor) with a sharp pair of scissors?

There were several stories on that a while back. (http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=google+dns+slow+apple+downloads&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8)Don't recall the outcome.
FWIW, I'm on OpenDNS and I just installed Tiger from scratch on 2 machines and downloads were very fast.

Why would I not want to use an FM transmitter? what would you recommend?
Oh, hmmm...., sorry, maybe you would. I was guessing it was beneath the level you're shooting form because the sound quality won't be quite CD-level... But it's the cheapest, easiest solution. You get something like the Griffin iTrip, and maybe a powered antenna for your receiver to strengthen the signal? Then you just select a station in an unused portion of the radio bandwidth and voila.
But again, not CD quality....But it might not be so bad either. It depends on the music you listen to, and how much of an audiophile you consider yourself. If you take relatively "quiet" music -- anything acoustic, especially baroque or chamber music, but even someone singing over a guitar, I think you will probably be able to notice a small amount of hissing or static if you concentrate, vs. a wired connection.
Griffin iTrip: http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/itrip/
Powered antennas should be readily available anywhere quality receivers are sold.
As far as the iTrip goes, there are often deals for it on dealnews.com -- you can also use it to listen to your iPod in the car.

Could you describe what values you're trying to teach children by designing an old fashioned newspaper?
Why not try to develop a new kind of newspaper or service?
You're not going to print it out on an old-fashioned press after all.
So what's the point you're trying to make?

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.

I save a Pages document in Word format and when I open it in Word there are 2 extra pages, the original document has 2 pages full of word lines.
Word is seeing the document with 5 extra lines for each page, therefore the two page document is now 4 pages in Word.
The paper size is the same: letter.
The margins are also the same.
The formatting seems to be the same: font size, paragraphs, bullets and tabs.
The versions I am using are Pages '09 and Word 2011.
My question is if you have any idea on how to make the document the same in Word with only 2 pages.
I need to create this document in Word.

It looks like Apple may not be doing pre-orders or reservations this time which makes me think I'll have to go Thursday night. Anyone else planning on staying over Thursday night or going really early Friday morning?

If I were an MS shareholder, I would be OUTRAGED.
How much did they pay for that? To be fair, I don't recall if MS bought just VPC or all of Connectix, but it hardly matters!
That's got to be a giant pile of shareholder wealth pissed away in a half-assed attempt at being part of (read: smothering) the increasing popularity and utility of Apple.
I would really love to see the numbers on that boondogle.
:rolleyes:
The connectix deal wasn't a 'boondogle' at all - connectix had other products than VPC. MS Virtual Server is based on the code they got from connectix. The server virtualization market is absolutely huge compared to VPC's potential market. I'm sure to Microsoft, VPC was a drop in the bucket in terms of revenue, and if I were a shareholder, I'd be happy as hell that they dropped it.

No problem. I have windows 7 installed on my MacBook Pro. In the weekend I'll boot to windows and figure out a window solution.

No, that pic is way pre WW2. That's around WW1 by the looks of it.
Uhhh... The USS Missouri (BB-11) was commissioned in 1900 and decommissioned in 1919. She was part of the Great White Fleet, and had her cage masts fitted somewhere around 1909.
Ship's names get reused, y'know. I'm not talking about the Missouri you're thinking of.

I downloaded BOINC, made an account, it says that it is running. Joined the MR Team.
BOINC is for other projects, like SETI. macrumors does have a team.
Passkey? So I downloaded the file on that site and opened that Fah6 thing, and it is asking for a passkey. Do I have to do anything else other than that? And how can I have it run automatically?
you can get a passkey, but you don't have to have one. since you're just starting, i'd just leave it blank

So let me get this straight:
1: ATT will not unlock your iphone no matter what
2: Foreign carriers are not allowed to unlock my ATT iPhone
3: I'm better off buying a another phone when I go to Europethat seems to be the gist. Hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong. I'm heading on sabbatical in the UK soon. I have an old JB iphone 3 but would rather use my iphone 4 of course.

I never really understood resolution independence. Can someone explain it in layman's terms?
A screen is made up of little dots called "pixels". A button is, say, 35 pixels wide. I just made that number up, but just pretend.
As screen technology advances, more pixels get crammed in per square inch, making for sharper graphics. Unfortunately, buttons would still be 35 pixels long. Everything would get smaller.
Resolution Independance means that the size of stuff on the screen does not shrink as more dots are added - instead, they simply become sharper, staying their existing sizes.

People were curious on how they relock your device. How is this possible? Isn't once it is unlocked it's unlocked? I guess apple does it differently than other phones like I suspected.

Do you have Office 2004 installed? This brings huge font problems, so this might not have anything to do with 10.3.7. Just an idea.
Don�t know about thie iTunes thing, though.

I was a freshman at Purdue then. I was walking from class back to my dorm. I suddunly heard the national anthem playing from someones dorm room probably on the 6th floor or so, and I looked up and saw an American flag hanging out of a window. I thought that was kind of odd to see such patriatism in the middle of september. Then I noticed campus was pretty quiet, there wasnt the hustle and bustle of kids going b/w the dorms and the other buildings. when i finally got to my building and my floor the entire floor was sielent except for a quiet murmer of a tv down the hall. i looked in the door from where the tv was and my friend said simply "you have to see this" and when i say it, i was completely shocked. the first tower had been hit was smoking. minutes later all sorts of speculations were going around. i shot over to my computer to check the internet but the major news sites were all down with a simple text page that stayted what little was known. i remeber watching the second plane hit and thinking how much it looked like a fake scene from a B grade horror film. (remeber all the live pictures where taken from long range so the picture was grainy and shaky) b/w that time and the collapse of the towers i got an e-mail saying my lab at the end of the day had been cancled. it all was just shocking.
