I have Abobe Master Collection CS3.3 - I still get updates for that, despite CS4. And for MS Office Win XP etc. Hell - I even get updates on Apps I've bought.
:rolleyes: Yeah, you get Adobe Acrobat updates.
Don't buy an app for what it will be, get it for what it is. It's just stupid to do otherwise.

Do you need a computer?
I have a PS3 and its cool and all, but I say go with a new Mac.

I installed Folding@home on my mac mini (g4 version). However I'm not sure if it's working or not. The progress bar is at zero percent for a long time. How long does it usually take to complete one of these jobs?
On my Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz its taking about 2 hours per 1%

Not to hi-jack the thread, but I do have a similar question...
My wife got me a refurbed MBP for a little over $850... I can get a new MBP for 1150. Is the new MBP worth the $300 (and the upset wife)? Or do I enjoy the current present?

I was using the basic notes that came with my iphone and found I really liked having a list on my phone and leaving all the pieces of paper at home. Then, I came to want the ability to make groups or project lists, and notes is just one long continuous list. Now, I've come to want a reminder that a task needs to happen and be reminded. So I started searching for apps and am overwhelmed at reading about them. I've looked in the app store but the descriptions are often general or vague or feel like over marketing. I searched for reviews and found a lot of information and am now wondering if anyone knows of a comparison so I can tell how they compare.
I like being able to create groups, be able to repeat tasks/items, show them complete, have an alert or alarm, be notified, having it talk to my google calendar would be nice too.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

How is this possible? The Wii's OS doesn't support DVD playback, and you can't control things such as Anamorphic Widescreen...

Quick question about the Switcheasy Rebel Touch case:
Will this fit a 3G Touch? I suppose it does, since I've been reading some of the comments on the forum, but the website only lists cases for a 2G touch. Just wanted to make sure before I order one...
Also: how well does the little cover for the dock port hold up? That's always been a problem with the cases I had, since I usually carry my touch in a shirt pocket. Didn't know if it popped out easy after some use, so I was just curious...
Thanks!

The first thing to do would be to read the stickies at the top of the forum. They will have book suggestions. If you are totally new to programming, you might actually want to learn programming before you delve into OOP and iOS programming. iOS development is not something you can just drag and drop a few objects around and have a best-selling app. You need to actually know about control structures, blocks, memory management, etc.. etc..
A good starting point would be to learn C. Objective-C is a superset to C that adds an object-oriented framework (classes with their variables/methods).
As for the hardware : either, it doesn't matter. Programming is not something that is especially hardware intensive and any Intel Mac can be used for iOS development, so your choice here should probably be based on your budget and other needs.
As for design, no, the basic controls are all provided by the UIKit framework. No need to "design" any graphics for basic applications.

Ah. Thanks for the explanation. I was trying to figure out why they would be doing this from the individual back to the servers.
I can see why this is such a screwy process. I guess I always thought (assumed) they were threading it but now that you mentioned it I see exactly what you mean.
One thing that doesn't quite make since to me though is why does it rely on networking if it's all local? I know this part must be true because I find that folding frequently crashes and/or becomes corrupted when I change networks.
It seems like this should also make it friendlier to other tasks being run on the system since it will be one multithreaded task possibly making it more flexible. I know right now I frequently have to pause folding or re-nice it if I plan on running any large streaming clients like Netflix.
This is all speculation, as I don't even run the program, but here goes: The only reason I can imagine they would use MPI at the client side as opposed to threading it is that they are already using MPI to communicate back with the main servers. If this is the case, it would be relatively easy (from a learning-curve point of view) to continue on toward using this to communicate at the client side. If you're a grad student who's never written anything multithreaded, it's easier to stick with what you know than to experiment with something new. Likewise, going the multiprocess w/MPI route, you don't have to worry about shared memory or mutexes, so it's easier for the noob programmer to implement. Otherwise, I see no tangible benefit for using MPI like this.
I wrote cluster software with lammpi before I ever began writing multithreaded apps. I can attest that the MPI route takes less brain power. The multithreading route may be simpler to code, but there's a lot more to think about. Even in the professional field, I was the only person at my previous company who was not afraid of multithreading.

I plan on getting in line about 1:30 or 2:00. They are going to be sold at multiple locations so hopefully this take the pressure off of the Easton Store.

Wow, I didn't realize today is the 10th anniversary of OSX. I remember loading the beta on my G4 Cube and then waiting anxiously for 10.0 to be released. It was quite a change from System 7/os8/os9 that I was running.

I'm not sure if anyone remembers it, but I think my favorite RPG game was Vandal Hearts for Playstation. It was a great mix of RPG and Action, and I wish I never sold that game.

FYI the Best Buy (they only had 70 units), Target and Walmart in Fields Ertel are out. Couldn't get out of work early. I tried them since the line is so long at the Apple Store. I just ordered online now have to wait 2-3weeks. Keep the updates coming

As a fairly proficient Windows user, I had a little difficulty switching - 24 hours, to be exact. The problem was, I was trying to use my Mac like a Windoze machine. It's not.
All became clear when I told myself to treat the Mac as if I knew nothing about computers. If that was true, how would I accomplish this task?
99 percent of the time, that works.
The rest of the time, I find the answers here.

It's $1269 CAD for the iMac 27� - Core i3 3.2 Ghz refurb. Is this a good deal?
Also, is resolution independence from OSX Lion going to improve the 27" viewing experience?
Thanks for the help!
Sorry, dude. I can't comment on value for money in Canadian dollars...!
And I've never heard of 'resolution independence', I'm afraid. I haven't really had my ear to the ground, over Lion.

You can buy Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1 for $99, possibly less.
You can buy OEM for $99, although technically its only supposed to be purchased with new systems. Just purchased it yesterday for bootcamp.. That one I did read.
OEM also has no support and is bound to a single system board.

If we are discussing music here, start iTunes, go to the store, enter "Joe Jackson" and you will find some music that beats anything Michael Jackson has ever done.

Does Apple still do this? I have heard that you can get huge discounts on a Macbook Pro by subscribing to this instead of the student discount. However, I can't find anywhere on the website for it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
No they do not still do this. It is not required given the low price of ADC memberships now.
