I was actually considering Pixeljunk Eden. It seemed pretty fun though I don't know if I can deal with a brutal difficulty level. :(
Well, I wouldn't say it is brutal to the point of being unplayable. The point of the game is to collect these things called "Spectra" in each level. You do this by getting your character to climb higher and explore more of the levels. But you have a limited time to do this. That is where the difficulty comes in. The mechanic of the game is very easy to grasp and pretty easy to master. It is the time limit that gives me the most problems.
It is a very fun game though. I didn't mean to give the wrong impression. The game, as with all of the PixelJunk games, is very fun and has a very unique graphical look and great soundtrack. Easily worth a purchase from the PSN.

Okay, so I've restored the drive to one partition, but now when i try to download the window support software I get an error message telling me "the support software is not available".
Surely it's not usually this difficult?
Oh - that's been a bug that's been around since they allowed for direct download. For some reason it simply doesn't work. You have to use the software located on your Snow Leopard disk. (Or disk 1 of the grey disks you got with your computer). You do this from the Windows side after you install XP. Note that the most recent models do not support XP because the component manufacturers didn't release drivers.

My MacBookPro 2,4 Ghz 15' Santa Rosa doesn't start. Every time I try to start the computer it just says that I need to restart and it goes on and on with the same message.
The monitor has stripes of red/purple over a purple blueish background. And all this happens 2,5 years after buying it. I would like to know if this repair program will be extended to Portugal, when the claim will be won after December 2010.
I do hope so and Apple must be aware of the quality of the parts she is buying for their computers.
It's the second time I have this problem in 4 years with 2 different computers, although the first time the motherboard was replaced within the warranty time.
I can't answer the question on the breadth of this decision. However, I am not going criticize Apple in this instance because they were far from alone. It is very possible that the versions Apple got for testing were just fine.
Overheating of the GPUs caused the problem, and if you weren't stressing the GPU, you might not run into this problem immediately. BIOS updates and Firmware updates went out to downclock the GPUs, but for some it was too late. I supported an office where practically every Dell laptop had to have its motherboard replaced because of the defective GPU. It got to the point where I would call Dell support, and they wouldn't question me at all.
nVidia also couldn't (wouldn't?) identify the specific bad chips, unlike the "exploding" battery issue of a few years ago when that manufacturer KNEW which batch was bad. How could Apple, or any of the other manufacturers, know which machines with these chips were affected? I have an MBP from this time range, and I haven't had any problems, thank goodness. Others have not been so fortunate.
You can criticize Apple for a lot of design decisions, but this issue is firmly nVidia's.

I may go there or to Tice's. It's not as busy at Tice's. GS Plaza is a mad house on the weekends and I can't imagine it at an event like this.
I need to pick up a power adapter that was ordered for me by the "Genius" at Tice's.
Wherever I am, I'm the guy with long hair.

I see a lot of posts saying they'll wait for OS X Lion to come preloaded in the 2011 iMac before buying.
If you are doing this are you willing to wait another 4 months for this to happen?
Apple (and other companies) have been known to stretch out release dates to the end of a season or quarter. September 5 being seen as the end of Summer in the US leads me to believe Lion will be released around that time.
The time frame is based on conjecture of a worst case scenario.

Question is in the title. Any thoughts? I know there was an Apple computer that sold for quite a bit a few weeks ago, but I'm sure it was way older. It's in perfect condition and I even have an old Apple printer for it (which works as well). Thanks. :apple:

You could probably take what you need scanned to a service bereau, they'd probably do a better job than anything the average home user would. Just make sure they're reputable and use equipment that's better han what they use at walgreens :p

I would use Python as there is a Cocoa bridge for Python. Though untimately you will need an understanding of Obj-C and Cocoa to make decent Mac OSX apps. Even if you are coding in Python.

I have an iPad 1st generation running OS 4.3.2 (Jailbroken). It is running perfectly, except that I have a bunch of blank icons on my home screen (see the attached images). I can delete them, but every time I install a new app from the apple store, they come back.
Ideas?

Executable code from 3rd party servers?
If this is what iCab did then Apple should have done this a long time ago.
Seems strange that they approved it in the first place.

I'm not sure what it says above but Holiday bump. Asking $250 for everything. I would only trade for an ipod video but would really prefer some cashola via paypal and in the states ONLY. You can figure on paying $215+ range for the camera alone. I'm not sure what the card is now but it should be $100ish retail and no less than half that on ebay. So you're getting this mint used camera with the card, case, and extra battery .....with battery charger ofcourse for a pretty rockin deal. This would make an excellent gift since it is compact and yields stellar results. This will outperform your standard kodak easycrap 4mp camera or any of the lower line canon's...you know, that garbage that they sell cheap at christmas. So somebody......please buy!!

Hi thanks for looking at this, I tried what you said but Im still not able to receive the email, could there be a server setting or email setting that I need to enable?
thanks
Worked for me, sent to my gmail email address. I didn't use the form, just hard coded the variables on the email script.

I think everyone is just gone WMP, and I at first thought it was maybe the price, but no a look at Apple's Quicktime Streaming Server site (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/products/qtss/), it says its free and open-sourced.
So I'm guessing its just web-masters not wanting their visters to have to go and download the quicktime plug-in just to use the service, it would just be easyer for the site to use WMP and be done w/ 95% the computer population.

Still no scanner support for MP600.....
The MP600 scanner drivers are available from the canon web site. I wonder why Apple did not include them.
Navigate to http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010396.asp, select Mac OS X, and click submit to filter non-OS X drivers. The file is named 'ScanGear CS for OS X (12.13.1)'. It's located quite at the bottom of the list.

Both the i5 and i7 ($1999 and $2199 models) are very powerful and will still be "future-proof" many years down the road. Sure, Intel will always be releasing new, faster processors at cheaper price points, but you'd never buy if you were always waiting. Barring any hardware issues, the iMac will still work just as good as day one.
It is usually a good idea to buy a little more than you need now so you don't feel inhibited down the road. If you are working with video files, the i7 will be faster as it offers Hyper-Threading, so there are eight virtual cores, and the Turbo Boost is faster (3.4GHz vs. 3.8GHz). The upgrade ($200) might not appear worth it now, but 3-5 years down the road it'll still be powerful, and it'll cost just a few more cents per day.
I don't game, but the 2GB upgrade is a minor cost in the long-run and again, may be beneficial if you want to add additional displays (two Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort). I am sure more demanding games will be able to utilize the extra RAM, although many people have been using less than 1GB for many years.
I'd say the CPU upgrade will be more beneficial, but you have to judge whether you game enough currently that you'll find the 1GB to 2GB upgrade useful. Of the total price of the iMacs, a $300 upgrade (between the two) and spread out of a number of years makes sense.
As usual, upgrade RAM third-party (whether after getting it or down the line), which will give you better performance. 16GB and 32GB upgrades are compatible and they will just become more affordable as RAM prices continue dropping. I hope this helps.
