yeah that's way over my head. not really sure what to tell you. i kinda tried to do it earlier this fall, with no luck either
I'll post it elsewhere when I get home. I have seen a number of very similar problems that seem to stem from bad wu's so I'll keep trying. It would be my luck though to have the first wu be bad making me think my set up isn't right.

what you described is very seemingly possible. look into PhoneGap (http://www.phonegap.com/) - you can develop apps in CSS/HTML/JAVASCRIPT that are compiled as normal apps. Nevertheless - it could probably also be done simply by making a normal website that utilizes the iOS Webkit - run the Mac with a local wifi network [not sure if there is a limit to how many people can be connected at once?] - then with MAMP running the server.. just have all of the ipads loading the server page.. using PHP/mySQL to keep track of who finds what. PhoneGap is the slick way to do it.. but might be overkill.

Actually, I believe that psychologists would classify that as smack-in-the-middle of denial. The denial that one's current choices may not be correct.
The denial stage can be further broken up.
Denial 1: Inured/Habituated- blind belief in one's own convictions doesn't even consider that there may be other perspectives.
Denial 2: Protectionism - acknowledges there are other perpectives, but actively shuns them; still believes that one own convictions are the correct course of action.
Denial 3: Reactionism - beleives that others questioning ones convictions are attacking.

An actual news worthy Mac malware story:
http://m.krebsonsecurity.com/2011/05/weyland-yutani-crime-kit-targets-macs-for-bots/
Apparently, this malware toolkit, referred to as "Weyland-Yutani Bot" (WYB), is capable of aiding the production of malware to turn Macs into bots. But, this is not the most dangerous aspect of this toolkit. WYB also facilitates form grabbing, using a man-in-the-browser technique, to collect usernames and passwords during Firefox or Chrome browser sessions. This is basically the Mac version of the Zeus toolkit.
This is a more significant threat than MACDefender, a recent rogue AV malware, because WYB collects data from browser sessions rather than by tricking the user to give up their credit card number. Also, WYB allows more rapid development of malware variants so the amount of malware for Macs will increase at a faster pace as this toolkit and others like it that target Macs become more prevalent.
Malware derived from WYB needs to be installed with elevated privileges to be able to collect sensitive data. The malware uses social engineering to trick users into authenticating installation. As with any malware, suitable exploits could be used to facilitate installation if found.
Privilege escalation exploits are rare in Mac OS X so exploitation is unlikely to be used to completely install WYB based malware. Some degree of social engineering will be part of the installation process. This is also true for Windows malware generated from similar toolkits. But, Windows does have more privilege escalation vulnerabilities so exploitation is more likely to negate the need for social engineering to install malware even in properly configured Windows systems.
The developer of WYB is selling this toolkit for $1000 via internet forums. Let's hope the malware made using this toolkit is not profitable for those that purchase WYB so that developers of such toolkits are not able to maintain a market for their product. The only means to guarantee the lack of success of such malware that relies on social engineering is user knowledge given that AV software is never a complete solution.

Games are a bit different but if you run the desktop or other apps at 1920x1080, it won't look great. Even in games, I'm sure you can notice a difference if you are honest.
Yes you can. Don't argue with me, I have been switching back and forth on Crysis 2 and there is definitely a noticeable difference.
However Games still look good with 1920x1080 on the 27" iMac.
How about 1080p movies in full screen mode? Does it look bad? Do you guys prefer watching it through a window at 1080p?

I'm not sure I understand you. The 13" MacBook Pro affected by this update is the latest model. I certainly would call it new.

I've had a similar experience on several occasions, most recently today. I have my inbox sorted by date received, with newest mail at the top, but for some reason new mail (received 'Today') will be at the bottom. Mail received 'Yesterday' will be at the top.
My message counter (in the dock icon) will indicate new mail, but when I look for it (at the top of my date-sorted list), it won't be there. I have to scroll down to the bottom of the list, and there, below the oldest of my already-read e-mails, is my new mail.

I went by the store today to try and find out a rough number of how many non-reserved phones they would have. I couldn't get a number of course, the lady did say that the Reston Town Center security would run people off that were lined up before 5am. Not sure if that will really happen or just what they are told to tell customers.....the official answer.

^This guy has no idea what he's talking about. I've purchased two new batteries for my hp laptop and everytime I've installed Windows 7, I then get an error saying I need to replace my battery and then when I go back on Vista it gives me only like 30 minutes of battery life. So yes Windows 7 does kill batteries and I've noticed I only get an hour with Windows 7 on my mbp 2011 and that's with brightness lowered and typing on here/sitting there doing nothing. I installed Windows 7 only because I need to use Microsoft 2007 for my class, but other than that I will not be using it.
P.S. It's because Windows 7 uses a lot of power just to run, so it overheats causing your battery to overheat and die.

I decided to just install it on my SSD since I want to take advantage of the speed of it. This no longer seems as buggy as it did when I installed Lion a few weeks ago and got rid of it. I can now run the VNC app "iTeleport" without problem!
Thank you for taking the time to lay out these instructions, as it is invaluable to me as I install for future partitions down the road. Cheers.

28th Production week, 2007. 200 MHZ CPU speed, A1203, 8GB. To know more, we need more information. Why do you want to know?
What more information would you like?
Specifically I'd like to know more about the production date. Was it one of the first iPhone 2G's sold? Or one of the last? Obviously it was made in 2007 so at least it was within the first year. What is the earlier known "production week" for an iPhone 2G?

The way alot of those people were treated today. My heart goes out to them. It makes me want to never support another Apple product again and actually glad I didn't give that Apple store my money for a Iphone 4. I arrived like alot of people at 6 am. That's exactly what they told us when I came 2 days earlier to double check. There were already thousands of people there in both reserved and non-reserved lines. I was almost to the very back of the non reserved line.
I waited in that line until 10 am. A full four hours, and we had not moved more than 50 feet. They kept telling us that the wait time would be around 5 hours estimated tops. I did the calculations in my head, that if we spent the last 4 hours (3 hours actual store open time) to move 50 feet, how the hell were we going to move 400+ feet in 5 hours. Our line, the non-reserved line wasn't budging. It moved probably 10 feet every 45 minutes.
I decided it was physically impossible to move all the way to the front in only 5 hours the way the lines were going. My greatest fears were proven correct. I asked one of the workers up front why our non reserved line wasn't moving and he told me they had to keep doing recounts to ensure everyone in the reserved line would get their phones. Talking to people closer to the front, they said the people being let in from the reserved side to the non reserved side was like 20 to 1. I left the line, went to Best Buy and asked for an Evo 4g, a phone I had been trying to get for weeks and which I was on several lists. As plain dumb luck would have it, they actually had a few. I got one, which I actually coveted way more than any Iphone and checked back in multiple times as I had errands to run, with the people I was standing in line with.
I ****** you not, the last time I checked in with them, it was 8:30 pm and they still had around 300 people ahead of them. With no indication of getting a phone anytime soon. They literally spent an entire day there waiting on a cell phone. And the kicker is that I asked one of the workers when they planned on closing, and they said 9 pm. He then told me that people in the reserved line would probably get a voucher and the people in the non-reserved line were s-o-l. There entire day was wasted for nothing and now if they want to get an Iphone, they have to repeat the process again tomorrow.:mad:
This was piss poor planning by the Apple store that made alot of people suffer with the only hope of getting an Iphone to hang on. I realize that 99% of you who got your Iphone today will probably not care because you feel like those people waiting in the non-reserved line should have reserved. The problem is, most of them DID try to reserve, but thanks to At&t's and Apple's website crashing, that was nearly impossible for them. Alot of them actually did reserve but never got the confirmation email.
If you ask my opinion of what should have happened, I believed that Apple should have scrapped non reservations all together like Att, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Radio Shack, because they clearly did not have the infrastructure to handle this amount of people. Alot of people suffered waiting in line the whole ENTIRE day and came away with nothing! I know nobody held a gun to their head, but Apple should have made EVERYONE aware of how they would be handling this mess instead of keeping people in the dark and repeatedly lying about the hopes of getting an Iphone.
They handed out drinks, and bagles, and sandwiches in line, but why not have somebody go through line with an armed security guard and ring up people actually OUTSIDE of the Apple store with those Ipod Touch Registers. Those who pay cash would have their money placed in a Safe Deposit Box again with the armed guard present. People could then get their Iphone right there with the worker activating their account on a laptop equipped with wi-fi. If they need more workers to carry that out, hire some college kids on Summer Break for a day or get some Att employees who were twiddling their thumbs all day in their stores. There may be some holes in my solution, but it's better than the crappy way they treated their customers today. Apple makes great products, but their arrogance and neglect is overbearing and I've just about had it with this company! They can go make their money off some other loser.:mad:
