It's theft disguised as charity...
It's not theft. He's reverse engineered the DRM and is now offering a Fairplay compatible alternative DRM to companies. You may as well say that Apple "stole" Adobe's PDF format when they reverse engineered it into OSX.

Well then in that light, when it comes to FPS or Platforming gaming, I'll stick to a dedicated handheld with buttons/joy stick. And based on the Engadget story I posted earlier, it seems a lot of other people will too. For a mind numbing good time, I whip out the old iphone for a game of Ball Roll DX
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).
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).
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 ;).
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).
Oh, and the iphone is good for more than just ball roll DX. RPGS do fine with a touch screen. Racing games are better with a touch screen than buttons honestly (more like using a steering wheel, as I said, even on a console I'd buy a special steering wheel over using a d-pad or even a joystick). Gameloft has done a decent job implementing virtual joysticks (not as good as a handheld but I'm certainly not going to buy a DS just to play the same game I can get on the iphone just for the controls).

Hello All,
I'm pretty new to the Mac and was wondering how to change my background color to a solid color other than the few that are available by default. In Windows, in the absence of a desktop picture, I can specify pretty much any color to be the background color. All I see are the several swatches of color and no way to get more colors.
Are these background "colors" simply little pictures that are tiled? How do I get a true background color that's not already there? Any help appreciated.

are cell phones not working across all the country ?
I did say that.
Most of the system was overloaded with calls, every time we tried it was a pre-recorded "system busy" message (Tokyo area).
We had much better success at using Skype and Yahoo to talk to friends the traditional phones/cell phones.
Of course areas directly in tsunami area would have neither, because it was all simply destroyed.

There is no need to use a "Standard" account (what you call "user"), running the Mac as an admin is just fine. Many do this and experience no problems. I have run Mac OS X for seven years via admin accounts and have had not any problems with that.
If something needs access to system critical files or folders, it will ask for your admin password anyway.

Did Apple finally release a product that is too secure for the current jailbreakers? Maybe it's time for a new batch of them to step forward and show how it's done ;)
No, comex did it, so its possible. As said a million times before, he has not released it because it contains proprietary code which he does not own, and it as of now it does not work on other than 4.3 (one of the multiple exploites he used was patched).
Im hoping that d0nfyxn's jailbreak is real, allthough its probably fake, i think its our best chance at a jailbreak within a month.

I've got a 1G 5GB iPod, still in good working condition. I really don't use it much anymore, so i'm looking to sell it. If anyone's interested, make me an offer. I'd be willing to do some sort of trade as well.

Use Console (it's in the Utilities folder in Applications) and search for events (you want to search in the "All Messages" log). By default it will show everything just like event viewer does but unlike event viewer it allows you to search for something specific. This will narrow down the list tremendously. On the commandline you'd do something similar with tools like grep, tail, head, view, less, etc.

I can't believe AT&T still won't unlock iPhones: In the UK, O2 will unlock anyone's contract phone for free (you just need to ask), and a PAYG one for �15 (plus the loss of the free web bolt on you get for the first 12 months).AT&T still is the exclusive GSM carrier in this country. Nobody knows how long this exclusivity will last. Since AT&T purchased T-Mobile, AT&T has no motivation to unlock the phone. Since our politicians have been bought off by lobbyists from Verizon, AT&T, etc., there's no motivation to advance our interests.
Jailbreaking doesn't unlock it and many iPhone 4's cannot currently be exploit unlocked.+1 Too many ignorant people don't understand that jb is dependent on the iOS, while unlocking is dependent on the baseband.

I have a full collection of Apple service manuals and found this in the dual 2.7 take apart guide. The photos are not very detailed but it does show the 2 different cooling systems.

The revision 2 is what I have.. the delphi you have pictured here is NOT what I have.. but even so, the person whom I bought the G5 from never ever had LCS problems at all, compared to those with dual 2.5 2004 and dual 2.7 early 2005 models.
What about the different versions for the G5 Quad or late 2005 model? I, too have the service guide for my model G5, and no mention of Panasonic is in the manual.. only the revision 2 and some other one is listed.

I am using maxell , I heard verbatim are the best but I dont want to waste the money when I am not able to burn them myself .
unfortunately, finding the best DVD-R is more of a "sample until you find what works". don't invest in a spindle unless you've tried a few of each and know what works, and what doesn't.

Much appreciation for the hard work, but I agree that this design is cluttered and disorganized. If nothing else, I believe a unified color scheme is crucial. Presently, the new front page is difficult to view.

OMG! That would be awesome - a phone that's a GPS Navigation that you could load where you're going in the phone with relevant picture pointers 'you are now passing MacDonalds on your right handside' and picture flashes up on your phone of the location taken by another user of Googlemaps... while you're driving in the car...
That's way more than I thought the iPhone would be... if it is the iPhone.
If it is then Apple will have pulled another 'miracle of modern technologies' off!
I think this is good thing!
