I'm pretty good programming in PHP and Javascript, but now I need something that allows me to create simple desktop apps. Mostly it will be for automation scripts, too much for Apple Script, but not complex enough to jump into Cocoa and Objective-C. Examples: Manipulating text files (sorting, dupe line checking, adding/cutting parts, splitting/combining files etc.), uploading a file to several different FTP servers, sending POST requests to a server.
I often hear Pearl and Python mentioned and I believe they are pre-installed on the Mac, but I don't know much about them. What's the main difference? Which one (or something else?) would be best suited for these tasks? Which one is easier to learn?
Bonus: What's a good site to learn for someone who has general programming knowledge, but is a total noob with those languages?

They're all the same. Get the fastest/cheapest.
Agreed. I only got crucial b.c the price was almost the same $$ as the g.skill.
That being said EVERYONE uses g.skill ram in the PC world. They all OC very well. I hvn't heard of many complaints.
IMHO OWC and Crucial is ripoffs unless you get a good price.

Totally depends on what software you want to run and expected number of users. Also does it have to be OSX?
Mac Pro isn't an ideal full time server since you are spending money on video card, Bluetooth, I/O ports,airport, etc.
I don't really agree with this. The costs for Bluetooth an Airport are insignificant, and if you're a small shop, you'll want a GPU in your server (just not a high end one.)
And less I/O ports for a server? Servers should have plenty of I/O ports, especially when you need to do diagnostics. Yeah, maybe the Mac Pro comes with a few too many USB ports, but that's not the worst problem to have.
No more rack mount is kind of a killjoy, but not every shop uses racks anyway.

Hey I'm looking into buying a preferably new Macbook or Macbook Pro. I need one soon as I'm moving out for my freshman year of college. The two things I'm mainly concerned about is 500+GB, and 4GB Processor. I was wondering what might be some good places to begin looking for the right laptop.
If buying new, from apple.com with the edu discount, or an apple store with the edu discount...

Your in luck. There are a few in your price range with semi-reasonable shipping:
thanks for your help--unfortunately, i can't get reimbursed for an ebay purchase. so i need to buy from an actual store (not necessarily a bricks-and-mortar store, but an online store would work, also)

I'd venture to say that people have done more work with less computer then that, so you should be fine with what you want to do.
System RAM is important as previously stated.

Hey guys, so long story short I found out that my parent's property insurance doesn't cover my dslr gear and computing gear. Where would you recommend me go to get insurance for all my gear for myself? I'm looking around for hassle-free options now. Preferably online.
Thanks,
John

the above meant Andres Segovia. also Julian Bream and John Williams are great classical players. Paco Pena and Paco DeLucia are great flamenco artists. Try Pierre Bensusan for fingerstyle stuff
Yes, sorry for the misspell.

the shuffle can work as a usb thumb drive on mac and windows systems. in itunes, you need to designate how much space will be allocated for music, and how much for memory usage as a thumb drive (i.e., enable disk mode). i have a 1gb shuffle, and split it evenly to have 512mb for music and 512 for data. a windows machine may or may not need additional drivers to recognize the shuffle as a thumb drive, but other than that, you shouldn't encounter any issues. you can transfer any type of data you want - the only issue willl be whether or not the windows machine can open the mac documents. if the pages document is saved as a ".doc" item, the windows machine should have no problem. just make sure that the pc has the right software to open the mac document you want to transfer.
here's some info straight from the apple support site:
Can I transfer data to iPod shuffle from multiple computers when in disk mode?
Yes. If you put iPod shuffle in disk mode, you can transfer data from multiple computers from the Finder (Mac) or Explorer (Windows). You can only load music from one computer, using iTunes.
Can I use iPod shuffle with both a Macintosh and a Windows computer?
Yes. When you place iPod shuffle in disk mode, you can use it to transfer data between multiple computers, running either operating system.

My brother-in-law pre-ordered online for he and his sister. We are going to the store around 4pm Friday (after work, travel, etc..). If the phones are there, they're there. If they're not, they're not. I'm on the fence of whether or not I want to go with the 3Gs, but the two of them are dead set on it. i am more interested in checking out the new MBAs while I am there, and quizzing the staff to see if any of them have a clue about the 1.5G/s SATA issue on the MBPs :D

Solution: download from here http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php
I wrote about the fail here: http://obamapacman.com/2011/05/fail-apple-itunes-mac-download-link-broken/
Update: I've tried OpenDNS and google DNS, flush cache, rebooted, still getting errors. But others are saying the Apple page is working for them.
I went to the website and checked as far down as iTunes 10.2 but they are all listed as being for Windows. Any for the Mac?
