One of my many goals (that I'll probably never get the chance to finish) is to make an all-in-one console mod. All-in-one computers have gotten big, but the fact that gaming consoles have remained headless is interesting to me.
I've always thrown around the idea of an Xbox or the tray loading PS2 in a G4, but those probably aren't realistic. Jberg44 (http://forums.macrumors.com/member.php?u=368100) (Dremel Junkie (http://dremmeljunkie.blogspot.com/)) put the idea out there to use a GameCube.
My first reaction was to stick that in an Apple Cube to make an AppleGameCube. :cool:
Someone here once threw out the idea of an Xbox in an iMac G3. There's certainly a lot of space to work with.
Both machines mentioned are pretty cool, too!

Try to restore the original firmware and then use the sn0wbreeze jailbreak.

oh, man i hope they're not sacrificing one of the MAIN benefits of the iPod, usability, for a big screen. one of the things that's always made the ipod great is that you can hold it in one hand & navigate easily w/ your thumb. having to slide your thumb around the edge of a 4" tall device would suck.
i'll wait until i hold one in my hand before i start freaking out.

Hi! I bought a g3 ibook,800mhz,640mb,80gb and this unit worked great for a couple months. Out of nowhere I got kennel panic. I got unit to flash blinking folder icon, I have tried to do new install of os, gets thru one disk if lucky,then poof! Any help would be greatly taken. Any offers to buy or fix would be nice as well! Thank You Community!!!
Sounds like it could be a hard drive issue.

I had to do a current technology project, too.
I GAVE A FORTY-FIVE MINUTE LONG PRESENTATION ON OSX!
(I'm awesome. I took up HALF the class period)
What I did, I just took the screen shots from the iindigo3d Mac OS history thing (thanks, dude! I know you wander around the boards, YOU ROCK!!!) and printed all of them, then I took screen shots of windows from 1.0 all the way to XP.
I was Sure to mention SPYWARE, VIRUSES and other things.. people already knew I was pretty appley before I gave it.. I mentioned nothing bad about OS X. (I am drunk on kool aid. I couldn't think of anything bad! haha.)
If you can find a site giving the history of it, it has basically done your work for you.
There's one of the history of Photoshop GUI and engadget made a history of iPod a while ago.
google around, someone probably has already done what you feel like doing, and put it in the interweb.
..it's not cheating if you already know it.. :o :p

What he said...
You mean AppleCare? That's not included, but I can dig-up the purchase date and see if it's still eligible. I didn't purchase Acare because it was too large a percentage of the total cost of the laptop when new and I figured I'd take my chances, knowing that it's not "super expensive" even if I had buy a completely new MB down the road.
Now, the MBP I'm getting to replace this... that might be another story ;)

We are quibbling details here.... but here are my thoughts about the HDD plan above.
Put the scratch disk on a 7200rpm drive, if you getting one. Make sure it's the first partition (this puts it, according to the research I did, on the outside of the platter. Seek times are faster here.)
You don't need to back up the scratch disk. It is populated when PS opens and you open files, then the contents are deleted when PS closes.
Make sure you have off-site backups. Since you are not a professional, you can probably get away with swapping the off-site back up weekly or even monthly. However, also have on-site back-ups. They do two different things.
The on-site back up should be updated at least daily. Get Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! (or similar) and let it run nightly. This creates a bootable backup. Plus, it's just automatic. You don't need to do anything once it's set up. Time machine also works well.
What SD! and CCC do is create a clone of your HDDs. If a drive fails, you buy a new drive and do a "restore". If the computer fails, CCC and SD! can actually be used to "boot" a loaner computer.
Time Machine is useful in that it keeps things up to date in 10 minute chunks (iirc) plus keeps versions of things so you can "undelete" files later on. I don't use TM myself.
You are most likely to need to go back to an on-site daily backup. HDDs fail. Computers break. All the time. Daily backups should be painless and automatic. Also, daily backups are probably only needed to replace the contents of a single HDD that crashed.
But.... occasionally there is the risk of a total system failure. Glass of water into system. Burst pipe in the room above you. (Water can 'run' really far... so the burst pipe can be in the bathroom above and over 3 rooms). Fire. Theft. Earthquake. Tree falling in a storm. This is when you want the offsite backup. You may lose everything you did since the last swap, but you haven't lost everything. I put mine in a safety deposit box. I've read about pro photographers who ship a HDD to friends off-continent.
Last thought. No one here has the foggiest idea when Apple is going to release the next Mac Pro. Or even if there is going to be a next version. Remember that this is a "Rumours" site, not a "News" site. So read up on the buyer's guide. Read some threads about when the next Mac Pro will be released. Some of us have an educated guess - but it's just that - a guess. And the "educated" I just add to make myself feel better. :)
Thank you for clarifying the scratch disc scenario, as I was in the dark. I will buy 7200 rpm drives at first. If I store photos etc, then I will consider 5400 rpm drives, as they are cheaper than 7200 rpm drives.
I will research the off-site and on-site backup plans, as this is a good strategy, especially when my collection increases two fold etc..
I plan to use Time Machine, Super Duper, or CCC. I spent a few miuntes researching CCC, but I have not researched Super Duper. I have read several threads regarding TM, which the information flows like wine in this forum! I like to have options and the off-site and on-site backup plans are worthy options to consider. Thanks again Sir!
Also, I have decided to wait for the Mac Pro refresh. I hope "rumors" are circulated soon speculating when the new Mac Pros will arrive on scene. Furthermore, I need time to research aspects of my backup plan, decide which software to buy, and lastly decide which machine is right for me, not in this particular order. Ultimately, I have to decide whether I want an 8 core or a 6 core. Thunderbolt is a game changer, hence I had better wait. The downside is: I still require a new computer. I am looking to buy either the 2010 or the 2011 MacBook Pro to replace my current laptop 'beater.' The beater has served me well, even though it is a "window" of the evil empire. :)
Again, I want to thank all of the 'Pro Photographers' on this forum who shared knowledge, backup plans, and general computer tid bits. You folks are first class! Your kind words, logical explanations are very helpful and are greatly appreciated, as I will use this thread as a future reference! :cool:

Try putting it into DFU mode and then connecting to iTunes. I had similar problems once.
Tiny Umbrella may also be of use, depending on where it gets stuck in the restore process. If it's right at the end (when the white bar on the screen is meant to make it all the way across the screen but somehow doesn't), try just using TU to kick the ipad out of restore mode.

It was doomed from the start. Live hip hop acts rely heavily on the audience. The one present that day was not ready to "get down" with Kanye more or less sit there and watch it.
At the very least it should have been Kanye performing over a live band, ala
Jay Z with the roots. The 1 Mc and 1 DJ set up was doomed. I don't think the audience had much to do with it not being that great.

In my experience, I have found this works best.
1. Put tape on the top corners so you have something to grab.
2. Tape the corners to the back of the phone/ipad
3. Grab the other end and pull tight
4. With a ruler slowly start at the top and press downward to apply the screen protector on the device evenly
5. Using the ruler again, work the bubbles out from top to bottom

iOS does what NintenDONT, to quote a long, lost video game ad campaign.
It would be nice to see Nintendo games for the iPad/iPhone. But I won't hold my breath. They are a hardware maker, and so goes that. But someday they may have to seriously consider this, especially since every other kid these days has an iPhone, and they are getting them younger and younger. My friend's 7-year old wants one.. an iPhone that is.
Donkey Kong Country, Mario 3, Starfox 64 on the iPad...
FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks. To clarify, I'm not running surround (5.1). I just listen to music on 2.1 speakers. So, my question is simply whether there's any sound card difference between the mini and the iMac.
