I just got an LG VX 7000 as a Hanukkah present, (my parents said - pick a new cell phone under 200, get a new contract, we'll buy the phone) and I feel the need to review this product as many people don't know much about it.
I grade cell phones based on the following:
Ease of use/menus
Graphic interface
Battery life
Audio quality
Screen quality
Quality of additional features
Design
East of use/menus: The LG VX 7000 uses a creative tabbed menu system that sometimes reminds me of a web browser. While completely uncomplicated, you might have to go through a multitude of menus to find what you want.
Pro User: A
Grandparent: B
Graphic Interface: The beautiful and crisp GUI really enhances the value of this phone. The startup graphics are incredible, and this displays pics well.
Pro User: A+
Grandparent: A+
Battery Life: For a color phone, this is a big improvement on earlier LG models. It will definately get you through the day and evening on a charge, if not last through the night and the better part of the following day depending on usage. Also, there are four battery bars instead of three, which makes it easier to have a range without guessing where you are.
Pro User: A
Grandparent: A+
Audio Quality: The audio is clear and beautiful. The ringers are loud and you can certainly hear them - no need to use vibrate unless you're at work/school etc. Calls are excellent, but that's also partly Verizon.
Pro User: A
Grandparent: A
Screen Quality: The screen is large enough for anyone to see and you have options for text size. It is clear and crisp. The outside screen is of a slightly lower quality, but unless you're displaying photos on it, it's not going to matter.
Pro User: A
Grandparent: A-
Quality of Additional Features: The phone is just that, a phone. Verizon's mobile web works nicely but is not very impressive - I don't use it and cancelled that service. This is a phone, not a camera, but if you're lucky, you might get a nice shot or two for your background. The video records audio nicely if you're close enough, and 15 second is enough for a decent clip.
Pro User: B
Grandparent: A
Design: This phone is sleek and stylish. There was a blue model, but now it's just black with Verizon, and the phone seems to be of high-quality and fairly durable material. The only major design flaw is not having a way to close the lens on the camera, we'll have to see how well that holds up....

I don't know about "often," but you never know until you test the market. The only thing that could potentially drive up the value to real interesting numbers is if it were completely new, as in never unpacked or used, utterly virginal. "Proof," as it were.

Premise: Capping income as described above would DESTROY the entrepreneur spirit. True or False? What is it that motivates human beings??
I'm think what motivates people like Bill Gates is that they enjoy their jobs. I'm pretty sure that almost every billionaire got their for one of two reasons, either they worked hard because they enjoyed their job and were good at it which combined with a little luck means they make a lot, or they inherited their money. No sane person who is working just for the money would keep working much after the first billion or two I'm sure even they know that they can't spend that much money.

Sounds like a lot of us are waiting for a serious MBA update in terms of Sandy bridge etc.
Hope it comes before the end of the year. Summer would be nice, I'll get it with my iPhone 5.

I appreciate the time and effort you put in to get this document together. Now I need to figure out a workable solution in windows.

^^^ I agree with the above comments ... you will need the software to edit.
My advice ... because Illustrator and InDesign are not Applications that you can learn overnight.
Buy yourself a Tutorial Book on Illustrator and then download the Free Trial version of Illustrator from Adobe. That may be enough to learn how to edit the layers the Designer has created.
Leave the InDesign part to the Printer and just supply the Printer with "print ready hi rez PDF files.
again ... you will need to buy Illustrator as the Trial version will expire after 30 days.
good luck :cool:

I think what you are saying is that you want to share your purchased music with others in your office that didn't purchase the music, but I'm not sure. Try rewriting your post. Assuming that what I think you are saying is what you are actually saying, the issue of not being able to share is not something that is broken, and therefore can not be "fixed." Not being able to stream the music is part of the DRM of the iTunes Music Store. You are allowed to play the file on up to 5 computers, not stream it to an unlimited number.Well under preferences you have the Sharing option. You can listen, but not burn, copyr or download music from another person on your local network. So why couldn't you share purchased music.. That makes no sense. You're not cheating what's already there, you just lack the control that you would normally have from a purcahsed CD that was ripped into your collection.

Finally. I've been flip-flopping for months over whether to get a Nook or a Kindle. I liked the Kindle more, but not being able to borrow library book almost nudge me towards the Nook. With this piece of news, Kindle is the clearly the reader for me.:cool:

The speakers are built into the body of the CD player and to make a disc play, you simply pull the cable gently.
I'd rather listen to one of those waterproof radios you can take into the shower. I mean, that new stereophonic invention is going to be completely wasted when the speakers are so close together, not to mention with the 1" cones it must have to fit in such a space. The 3400c would prolly sound better without the amplifier!
Oh and... pull a cord? Pull a cord?!? :eek: :confused:

From my experience, yours, and the previous generation of iMacs have great, loud sound. I'd guess the eMac's speakers are just mediocre. Try using headphones.

You can buy from a non-university/college network, but it requires that you're 18, and therefore it most likely only applies to university students. Or others in further education past the age of 18.
Edit:Just checked, it also requires that you have a valid student card, so I'm assuming this backs up the above thought.

Hi all,
Background: I have an iphone 3G and a MacBook Pro. Have had both for over a year, long term Mac user and have had a good relationship with both products, we have up until recently been a happy family.
Problem: On the last sync between iphone and laptop, I seem to have ended up with duplications.
- Artist List: I can have an artist listed twice, for the same song.(note this is not consistent across the board just for some).
- Song List: I can have songs listed twice, for the same artist.(note this is not consistent across the board just for some).
- Songs duplicated in albums: Song 1 will be in there twice, thus a playlist within that album will run as song 1 followed by song 1 again, song 2 followed by song 2 again and so on and so on. Not fun if you just want to hear an album as an album. (note this is not consistent across the board just for some).
- Album artwork: A song will be listed with the artwork for the album it appears on and then be listed again with the artwork for the single it was released with. Is this because somewhere in itunes store land when you go "search for album artwork" it has some kind of confusion meltdown and doesn't know which one to give you? (Note, this happens with not only albums I've purchased through itunes but also for albums imported from purchased hard-copy CDs). Again, this is also not a consistent error across the board, just in some instances and not others. How can you get a single and an album version when you only purchase one through itunes? And how can you get a single version and an album version when it's imported directly from a purchased CD? (weird).
I've also noticed similar problems when I go to sync the calendars. It's duplication hell.
Question: Is there a way to delete songs out of lists on the iphone? Or am I going to have to do some major surgery i.e. reverting the whole thing back to factory settings? If I do have to go back to factory settings will I then need to also re-input all my other stuff as well such as address book entries?
I'm pretty worried that the next time I sync, I'm going to end up with triplets.
Thanks for all help in advance.

Over the course of time, mobiles will displace consoles.
We can already mirror the iPad 2 onto HDTVs. Not the best news for dedicated consoles. It's not perfect, but it's a powerful portent. Dedicated devices (as opposed to convergence) are destined to DIE.
iCal this. Then in 2-3 years revisit this comment and be astounded.
Consoles are not going to die. They're now the driving force behind gaming. They're even holding back PC games now, because Game developers want to maximise profit, by making sure their games can run on consoles. This prevents them from pushing the game to it's limits. Because they'd spend loads of money and only be able to run it on high-end PC's. PC Gaming is the one that's getting smaller.
Gaming is now worth more than movies and music, plus consoles don't just do gaming. My Xbox plays my games, connects me with my friends, we're usually in an 8 player voice chat party together so we can chat, and play separate games if we want. I video chat on MSN on my xbox, I rent 1080p movies on it from Zune sometimes, or just sometimes play a DVD on it. Usually it'll be running Media Center, streaming all my music, movies and photographs from my Laptop.
Physical controllers will always make better controllers for most games, minus a few exceptions like Monkey Ball and perhaps racing games, but then the more realistic gaming like Forza or Gran Turismo will require physical controllers, imagine having to look away from the screen to check where handbrake, or the gearstick was on the screen, and when you look back up, you've collided into a wall.
Touchscreen controls on a FPS are just plain horrible. And in terms of performance, portables will always remain behind dedicated consoles because they need to stay light, and obviously portable. Plus battery life would be dire if they crammed it with cutting edge video cards and processors.
And local multiplayer just would not work, sometimes when I don't want to play online, my friends might come over, and we'll play a 4 player race on Forza, or maybe Call of Duty/Halo.
Plus consoles are cheaper than the iPhone and iPad. (carrier subsidised cost plans don't count in this)
I'm not saying portables with a touchscreen are terrible devices, just that consoles are not going to die. And be replaced by portables. All I see is iOS grabbing a bigger share of the portable Market.

i agree they do seem to try harder. i dont think of it as me being hypocritical. i just hold android to a higher standard... it's supposed to be about openness... that's what i feel google intended. if i'm going to get one (which i probably will eventually) i want to be able to do what i want with it without the manufacturer/provider on my back
Yeah, openness in the sense that if you open a store you allow anyone to sell whatever they want, be it kids toys, porn, chicken on a stick, or 1980s style leotards.... but open doesn't mean you let people tear out a wall and expand your store's building into the parking lot.
Android allows you to create and distribute apps that will mod just about every aspect of the OS. If you attempt to build an app that makes the iPhone keyboard black, you'll be shut down quicker than a hooker in an elementary school. Not the case with Android, because it's "open" :-)
The debate will never end on this subject, but numbers are what speak.... and right now the momentum in the mobile phone AND tablet space is 100% in Android's court in both categories.

See the AnandTech article or the referenced MacRumors thread. The Samsung drive appears about 15-20% faster in some of the benchmarks.
No, I meant the number of people who have one vs the the other, not the speed of the SSDs.

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:
