How does "Yes" translate into "will be available soon"? Did I miss/overlook something.
Ugh, I had seen their facebook post and took it for face value... then I just actually read the link...
Where does it say 4.3.1? All it says is "YES" not "Yes, Soon"... and not "Yes, Soon, 4.3.1" ... I hate when "tech news" sites assume things just because they want them to be so. How annoying is that. Sure I'm guilty of reading too much into the headline, but it's annoying they wrote the article based on this one word "YES"

It's not that I have an innate fear of soldering :) the task indeed sounds fairly straightforward and from a rational perspective very little can go wrong but there is just something about connecting 2x $500 SSD's with a cable that underwent some DIY soldering that does not sit too well with me and I can't really test it with a cheapo PC first too as that does not have any backplane cables that have male SATA DATA/POWER header.
It's a better connection than using crimp connectors, and is how your expensive electronics are manufactured (all the components are soldered to the PCB). ;)
Soldering wire isn't as common as crimp connectors due to costs (more labor intensive to solder, as well as more expensive materials and equipment is used).
I believe I will instead purchase the kind of cable you posted a link to and stay away from soldering or using nuts and crimp connectors. It probably won't turn out much more expensive either as I won't be needing that SATA Y splitter, but a regular widely available 2xSATA power that connects to molex will do with a cable like in link.
Either way will work, so it's up to you (soldered version isn't quite as messy IMO).
Also have found this one, but it's 1m long! No info on how long the one in your link is too.

The one I linked was 0.5 meters. You cannot go over 1.0 meters in total cable length with SATA drives, so please keep that in mind (the signal voltage is weak, and anything longer causes stability problems).
And this one, but it has 2x SAS connectors on the main female header so I doubt it will be compatible with the backplane connection cable on the Mac Pro.

I dunno; the way these articles make it sound, people had to buy their iPods because they already had large iTunes accounts, and it was the only way to listen to their music. But of course it was the other way around, that the store was the result of the iPod. I suppose it would be nice to have the option to put my purchased iTunes mp3s on a different player (although I don't see myself doing it), but I agree with everyone about the integration and ease of use keeping the iTunes market strong. And unless other mp3 players can be easily synched with your iTunes playlists and music, the whole DRM thing seems pretty moot to me. The iPod is iConic (couldn't help myself :p ); it'll take a lot of great word of mouth and aggressive marketing by other companies to even take a real bite out of Apple.;)

I'm in the process of redesigning our local access station's web site. I'm just about finished, except for a program guide system. Currently, the "program schedule" page is simple HTML, but there are a number of problems with this system.
First off, the person who updates the schedule is by no means a web designer, and the page slowly deteriorates as tweaks are accidentally made while updating.
Secondly, the new site is designed to show the current day's program schedule on each page. It would obviously be a royal pain to update this manually using HTML, so we're looking for some sort of PHP calendar system to integrate into the site.
What we need is a simple PHP/MySQL calendar system that will allow us to integrate a daily schedule into a sidebar, and set up a program grid on the main schedule page. (See http://www.ictv.org/sections/schedule/schedule.php)
As in the above example, we'd like the program name to link to that show's page.
I've looked around for a few days trying to find a good system, but haven't had much luck. I don't know if there are any PHP "program guide" scripts out there, but I would think there would be some sort of calendar that could accomplish this job.
I should note I know a little bit of PHP/MySQL scripting - enough to do some *minor* tweaking to a simple script, but I'm by no means fluent with it. Bottom line- the less scripting I have to do, the better.
The current version of the site can be viewed here (http://www.parhosting.com/~cctv/). (We haven't transfered our domain to the new server yet, hence the subdirectory setup.) The weather sidebar is a placeholder for the program schedule. I appreciate any suggestions or advice, so thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction! :)

Add trophies to the mix and this just became yum yum.
Bless
I would personally be pleased if trophies and achievements were dropped. At the minimum, don't pop up on the screen that I got one. It bring me out of the experience.
I hear a few games are actually more helpful with 3D from what I read GT 5 utilizes it like you can see a little better who's behind you etc and NBA 2k11 shows of pretty well especially during replays.
3d wouldn't necessarily help to see who is behind you. It has the possibility to help you see how far behind you they are.... I really doubt it will make ANY game better. It sure didn't make Nintendo's Virtual boy good :-D

don't dropbox require you to verify your email before you can complete registration?
That's what I'm thinking. They actually need to sign up in order for that box to appear for them as a user.

Lockbox is good because it stores all your passwords and information.
Pandora is amazing for music. Crackle is cool for movies. Shazam is helpful for music too.
Angry Birds (all 3), Plants vs. Zombies, Fruit Ninja, Mega Jump, Tiny Wings, Bloons Tower Defense 4.
Flixster is good for movies, yelp is good for restaurants. Whatsapp is a nice messaging app. Alarm clock is self explanatory, groupie is a cool social networking app along with skype. Otherwise it is all your preference. I recommend browsing the top lists for each category and going from there.

Reasons why I'm waiting. Note these haven't been confirmed, but I'm thinking
With Thunderbolt connectivity they might:
Add a FW 400 and 800 port
Add USB 3.0 Ports
Add ethernet
Get rid of the USB connecting cable since it could go over Thunderbolt.
In other words, make the ACD almost into a dock.
I'm in the market for 2 ACD's when the revision comes out.

true, That's what I am expecting to happen.
They lowered the iPod prices and that opened room for the hi-end Video ipod priced at $400 or $500.
So it might happen. The big question is if they are ready for this on the holiday season or later maybe at MWSF. We'll find out in 2 to 3 weeks if they do not announce it a week or so before Thanksgiving.
There was a post earlier that suggested it was just a marketing hold-up. This could very well be a production hang up. They don't want to announce it until they have 5 million of them stamped out and in containers in a warehouse in LA.
If they get them produced by some deadline(Late November most likely) then announce either just before black friday or then. Otherwise push back to Jan

If it's an apartment complex there's a good chance you won't have much of a choice when it comes to picking a provider. You're likely going to be in a situation where the apartment management has a deal with one provider and you pick whatever plan you feel like paying for.
Or make a deal with your neighbors and share their wireless network.

I have a 08 iMac and a new MBA. I use my MBA 95% of the time. Having a iPad and MBA seems more odd then a iPad and iMac. Since you are getting a free ipad I would consider pairing it with the iMac. My 2nd choice would be the Ipad+MBA+24" Dell display. Again this is just personal preference and it is really what you want :D
Thanks I think I'll stick with ur choice - ipad&imac

That really surprises me that they still had some. About how long or what time did you get in the doors?
I got in line at 4:15PM and left with an iPad at about 9:15PM. When I was walking out, the last few people were getting ready to go in.
I could see there were still a few iPads left. Probably those 64GB Black Verizon models that this thread reported earlier. I'm sure some people got 2 tickets, then just bought one iPad when they couldn't get the 2 models they wanted.

To be honest, I have my doubts about how many contacts Nick & Co have left. It doesn't take that far of a leap to come up with these conclusions without an Apple leak. In fact it takes a lot of common sense. The lack of a full consumer productivity app to replace Appleworks is a disgrace. Windows users are able to get light word processing, spreadsheet, database functions, and presentation functions from MS Works. iWork has more promise, but it's incomplete, costs extra, and with Pages the interface works much better with creative page layout type projects than it does word processing. So, what could be done to fix iWork? You need to make it complete with at least a spreadsheet app with a database being a definite plus. Apple dropped the ball in '06 so it has to come in '07. If it doesn't, someone really needs to be fired because it'll look like they're either clueless or incompetent. As for Pages, the easiest way to keep it as a good light page layout app, but make it a better word processor is to introduce some kind of mode. Click a tab and it transforms to a traditional word processor type interface.

lol 1 last question is is it 1 cable or do i have to buy the adapter? i looked online for just one cable but i keep getting the adapter instead of 1 cord. but my guess is that you have a regular optical cord then plug the 1 end into the adapter? :S
It is one cable, as shown here:

A great place to grab Jag for cheap is OWC, or eBay.
Jag never shipped on DVD-ROMs, unless they are the system restore discs, and even then I believe it was CDs.
The Wallstreets are a nice machine if you have enough RAM and a big HD in them. And if the person who sold you one didnt really screw you over by selling you a dying machine. -.-
