Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Then it can be argued that they did that so you can have even fewer wires. Don't need a wire to connect your camera to the mac when you can just plug the card in.
I mean seriously, how hard is it to just swallow your pride, make a spiffy looking two-button mouse, and then sit back as the profits roll in? Oy, some forms of "think different" just hurt my brain.

The mouse looks neat; I might buy one further down the road if it's as good as it's made out to be.
However, I'm actually interested in getting the new remote. I can't figure out where the hell my old one went, and I find that it's so much easier for giving presentations in class.

I was able to contact Apple and get a $300 "price-protection" credit, which would be the difference between what I ordered 10-days ago and what was announce yesterday. I got no complaints on that one (I'd rather take $300 than pay the $190 restocking fee to buy another computer), though I have to state this is some pretty awesome customer service.
Because then you'll realize how bad you had it when you were using the magic mouse?

Are there any third party utilities that work with bootcamp to simplify switching between OSes? My boss wants to hit a button and reboot into windows and vice versa.
This seems a bit silly.

We dont' have a "Mac thread" anymore. your question should have gone into it's own thread, but we can still try to help. Honestly though, I don't know how it gets much easier then pressing one key at startup and clicking on the icon of "Hard drive" or "Windows"
I know that from within windows if you right click on the boot camp system tray icon there's a "reboot into OS X" that will shut down windows, but really, pressing option on startup really isn't hard.
You could try something like this. I've never used it, but it puts a switcher menu item in the menu bar.
This is cool, I'll point out that option. His issue is that he doesn't want to watch his computer boot and sit there holding the key while it does. He wants to get up and get coffee while his computer boots.
This looks awesome. Thank you.
I use the windows system tray thing or OS X system preferences to switch startup volumes.
You are of course correct that it seems silly to pay more money for a superior deal.

The 30" cinema display is IPS as well.
I'm assuming ths restocking fee is a US charge since all I paid was the different between then (£43 or about $70-80) and walked out 15 mins later. I'm still tempted to buy the magic mouse but £55 or about $100 is a little too expensive for my liking.

To be fair, USB transfer from a camera takes ages compared to having the SD cart directly in the computer. Especially video files. Card in computer = 4 second transfer, card in camera connected via usb = easily 2 minutes
So fuckin wrong bro
people already lift their fingers slightly when they click anyway, a person's right mouse button finger for instance generally hovers a bit.
Oh my goodness i wonder who this could be.
wuzzup wuzzup
When you get up to that size of a monitor, a few inches can make a huge difference in price.
hysterical.
yes, that's why it's cheaper to buy 2x24" monitors than a single 30" panel.
No cash to buy it though
but that imac, oh my
The other product that was quietly launched the other day that I'm really excited about is the new Mac Mini Server. $999 for a small business or home server running OS X server. Pretty nice little package, though the HDD is a bit small, but hooked up to a Drobo or something and it would be pretty damn awesome.

i kind of need a newer computer for school in the next few months (autocad, solidworks, just general number crunching and my 2.5 blackbook is showing its age).
It's really temping to get a iMac over building a core i5/i7 machine from scratch. I could easily justify it if the base model came with the 4670 though. I mean, 250 bucks to the next model and all you get is a dedicated video card and another 500 GB :?
although the screen on the imac's is fucking incredible
It's really odd
part of that is because i've had a mx 580 for like 3 years now so my hand kind of doesnt want to lay flat like that right away. The scrolling was very nice, but getting two fingers on there while holding the mouse was kind of difficult, i found it easier to just pick up my hand and flick on the middle part of the mouse
also, now that i've seen a 27 inch in the flesh: sweet mother of god it is beautiful
there is also no way i could ever justify it
