If only Apple would just tell us. If the Iphone 5 doesn't get a bigger screen I am going to shop around. It pains me, but the phone is too small for me at its current size. I want a slightly bigger screen.
I'd rather buy Apple, but HTC is sneaking up quickly.

looks like there's gonna be no iPad 2 jailbreak today. Looks like we're waiting another 7 days before release.
How come 7 more days to wait..? :/

And I won't spend extra money on another handheld when I have the iphone and it does have enough games that entertain me (in depth games too though maybe not the latest and greatest).
That's a personal choice. Your definition of in depth is subjective. Mileage may vary.
I think you miss the problem here isn't that people will pick the iphone over the handheld for gaming. Of course if they are just picking a gaming device (and they don't already have an iphone or android), they are going to pick the one designed for gaming that the games they want are coming out for. But that people who might have picked up a handheld for gaming find that the iphone or android they already have is good enough for portable gaming (in some ways better. For example since it is my cellphone, my iphone is with me everywhere so gaming anywhere I want, which is the biggest point of a handheld, it is also smaller and I don't have to carry all the games with me, they're all on my iphone so they all go with me wherever I go. Yeah, there are trade offs, on some games the controls are not as good, but here is the thing. They are good enough, at least not bad enough that I feel I need to buy another handheld just to get the better controls).
That's fine, your not/no longer a gamer. What you do is called killing time.
And here is the bigger problem, smartphones attract enough business away like this and have less people using the actual handhelds, they also attract developers. You might find new games being made for the smartphones that people can't get for the other devices as there is more money in the smartphones... and in the end, the best gaming device is the one that has the games ;).
A sad possibility. Touch will never equal tactile feedback.
Nintendo and Sony need to prove that their devices are so good that it is worth buying them *as*well* as the smartphone the person already has. Nintendo is trying with 3D. Sony is trying to have console like games in a small portable device (I'll say I'm much more interested in Sony's offerings. But I've never been impressed with nintendo's game selection except when I was really young. I really do not get the Mario love here or why people think Mario is any better than Angry Birds, they're both (at least traditional mario scrollers and the racing games) cheesy time wasters that I wouldn't say have all that much depth).
I highlighted your problem in red. This is why IOS games are good enough for you. You've lost your gamers edge. This statement alone is proof of your non gaming affiliation. Since you imply that you are 'older" perhaps you attention span for the more in depth games is just not there anymore.
Compare Angry Birds to Mario? Cheesy?
Take a look a this game list, that is the epitome of chesse: Appshopper Games (http://appshopper.com/games/)
Any 5 year old can play Angry Birds, that's the audience. How many 5 year olds can beat a Mario game?

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.

Don't underestimate the power of javascript. There is a lot of good stuff out there but there's also a lot of "hello world" type dross. If you're serious about it, an excellent resource is JavaScript: The Definitive Guide (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/jscript4/). Online there's The Strange Zen of JavaScript (http://jszen.blogspot.com/) and the legendary and incredibly useful QuirksMode (www.quirksmode.org/).

I recently discovered Pages. I think it's a great app and well worth the money...but not as a Word Processor. I use Pages as a budget version of Adobe InDesign. When I want just straight text, I stick to Word.
Excel, however, is a different matter. The line of work that I'm in has just implemented an Excel solution to help our customers fine prices on items (over 4000 items)....This relies heavily on VBA scripting to work, and I've already had some incapatibilities that if it weren't for me (as the Mac guy) wouldn't have gotten solved and left Mac users behind.
So Numbers/Lasso/Charts/whatever will likely be fairly useless to me withouth VBA. And yes, I'm aware that MS is dropping Mac support of VBA, and yes, it does make me very angry..

It was my birthday so I was really looking foward to a good day, but then everyone in my class (I was in 5th grade at the time) was leaving early and I thought that maybe there was a huricane coming (I live in florida is its possible) but then I got called to go home early and my mom then turned on the radio in the car and I heard it all.

What? The iPhone 3G was not a "Complete Redesign". Internally, it used the same CPU, RMA and chipset as did the iPhone 1. The only difference was the addition of a 3G radio and a plastic curved back; hardly a "Complete Redesign"
Seriously - people think that an exterior update is more significant that the internals...? The 3GS was serious update over the 3G - faster processor, better camera with video, better BT, faster 3G, better screen, higher capacity, etc.
The 2G > 3G update was the lamest of the bunch so far (especially since a lot of people agree the metal case was a better decision than the plastic)

It's a US Navy Battleship of some kind, my initial thought was part of The Great White Fleet, but I'm not sure.
I think you're right - check the bow.

I'm laying money on the USS Missouri (BB-11) before the cage masts were fitted.

OK, I'll bite. Why spend anything at all? Why not go down to the library and use their computers for free?
The homeless bum thinks you're crazy for spending $600 on a computer when you can get the same experience for free.
You think we Applites are crazy for spending $1,200 on a computer when you can get the same experience for $600.
I can do it in my house that's why. Minimum cost to do this IN MY HOUSE. Cost plays a major role in most people's decisions to buy things. Generally I've found that once you cross a threshold price, your computer has much less problems (read the reviews and stuff to make sure its still good).

I also read that the Quad's failure rating is around 1 percent compared to the dual 2.5 from 2004 and dual 2.7 from early 2005 - am I correct?
Not correct at all. Even the most reliable G5 ever (dual 2.3) has a failure rate of 11%. The worst is the first gen. dual 2.0GHz at 32%. No G5 model could ever even dream of having a single digit failure rate.

Hey,
So I am looking to buy a used/new iPhone. It has to be in good/working condition, has to be 8GB version, and you have to be willing to ship to Canada (which isn't a big deal). And PayPal is a must.
I am offering $370 Shipped OBO.
Either post here, PM me or email me at william@williamwilkinson.com with your offers.

I'd probably try a simple update instead of a clean install.
And considering that you've got a decent backup of your system (right? :D), it shouldn't be a problem if that goes wrong. You can still do a clean install in that case and migrate your data from your backup.
whats the risk if there isnt a backup?
