Off topic, but the whole point of quadrupling the pixels is that scaling will not make it look ugly. Four 'retina' pixels make up one 'regular' pixel, so you get the exact same image. They would look ugly in comparison to updated imagery, but they will look the same as they do now.
I think what you said is right. However my exact point is I want it to look as sharp as other text/html based mags on a retina iPad. I doubt they'll re-release a retina version of back issues.

this definitely makes the imac more appealing to me. I was thinking of getting a macbook pro and replacing my existing macbook, but an imac with that much storage built in is very tempting. I've seen 750GB hard drives available on OWC for a while now, so it's about time apple made it available.

Someone always posts something like this when related to the OS. I don't get it.
Are they the same people who complain that Thinksecret (or whoever) "obviously don't have reliable sources"?

Long time PPC user here on a budget looking to retire my G4 and buy a G5 on ebay. I am noticing a bit of a slow down on my trusty powermac G4.
Specs...
PowerMac G4 867 single
1.25gb ram
10.4.11/classic
2 fx cards for two old monitors
I was planning on running this thing until it died but it just won't die ;). I do notice a bit of a slow down while on the web and playing online java and flash games, iTunes taking longer to load and do anything. :apple: no longer supporting Tiger is getting to me. Plus the boot drive has only 10GB free so I can't really use iMovie anymore. I did everything I know to keep it up to speed; permissions, check to see if I'm paging (I rarely do), run scripts, and even opened it and cleaned out all the dust and cat hair. While I wouldn't call it a dog, I do think it's age is showing. I just ran geekbench and got a 502.
So I guess it's time to retire old faithful and jump on a G5. As never using one though I just had a few questions...
1. Reliability - Been reading a few threads on here and while mostly positive I have seen some peeps say that the G5s are not near as reliable as the G4s. Overheating, power supply failures, and other things I just wanted to check before I head to ebay. Fan cooled vs liquid cooled, does it matter? Are there any PowerMac G5s models I should avoid?
2. Fan noise - How loud are they compared to the mid-G4 powermacs? I am fine with the G4 noise and could even take something a little louder but I am in a usually quiet room though. Didn't want anything too loud.
3. PowerMac vs iMac - While I am leaning towards the PowerMac as I already have two monitors, and the towers have more power, how do the iMacs hold up? Are they dogs compared to dual processor powermacs? I wouldn't mind going to a 20incher ( using 2 17" right now).
I was planning on erasing the G4 and slapping Tiger on the new G5 and bringing over classic for some apps I have still yet to upgrade (Quark 4, Freehand 9). Then one day down the road get Leopard and CS 1 or 2 and run the G5 for 2 or 3 years until it is dead or outdated.
Also I wouldn't mind bringing along my two old 40gb IDE drives, but I read I would need an adapter. What kind would I need and how much do they go for? And could I bring over either of my old FX cards? One is the original PCI ATI 32mb card and the other is a AGP Geforce 4 mx 32mb card.
I been watching ebay and found an average price of $200 - $230 + shipping for the following minimum specs...
PowerMac G5 1.8 x2
2gb ram
80gb HD
FX card with a ADC port (main current monitor uses ADC)
Seller with a lot of positive feedback, usually a store, plus 30 day or more warranty
Seems good to me. Does that price seem about right?
Sorry for long post, but any advice is welcome

That would be such absolute BS but it wouldn't surprise me at all. "Oh, you want to be able to use more RAM in your Mac? Well that wasn't advertised when we sold it to you, so in order to be able to do that you'll need to hand over $1".
GAA is a mutherfu....bberinksy! I wonder if Apple says the previous 6GB cap was imposed due to a defect in design/manufacturing. The firmware update address the "memory defect" and other problems. This way with the firmware update they would be addressing the defect instead of adding a feature. Consumers keep their soda/candy money. Those 3 class action lawyers would have a field day with Apple's "covering up the defect." Just some ramblings.

Wow! Talk about amazing innovation. I think the ability to have 38 characters engraved on the back of every iPod Shuffle ordered from the Apple Online Store FOR FREE is amazing. Imagine being able to engrave your name and phone number for example:
Return Reward Tom Jones 555.555.4093
36 characters
Lot of incentive to buy online to get that free engraving to personalize every one of them. I love it. :)
Also find it amazing and innovative that the audio out headphone jack triples as a recharge and data port as well. Never seen a headphone jack do so much all in one before now.
I've always though engraving was kind of intriguing, but I generally don't keep my iPods (of various makes/models) for very long. I end up selling them and then getting a newer version eventually (usually skipping a generation before considering the next.) It seems like engraving would be profit prohibitive when trying to resell an iPod--at least the resale value might decrease as a result of a personalized engraving.
Of course, you could always simply hold that little bit of information to yourself, but hopefully the conservative Christian won't mind too much when he purchases a used iPod with the engraving "Hail Satan" stenciled on the back. :D

makes sense
apple has proven to have a winning formula by releasing a new phone every year
it would make no sense for them to change that

I think (and I'm not at all qualified in GAP to say for sure one way or the other on this) that the reason Apple doesn't need to charge for this is that even though they advertised it as being able to take up to 4GB of RAM, it's not really a feature, it's a bug. The customer already has to purchase RAM on their own. It's the firmware on the device that isn't working properly with the RAM they purchased. So, Apple can slip in the fix that allows the machine to properly recognize 8GB of RAM and not have any problems with accounting procedures.
Also, Apple products are notorious for accepting more RAM than Apple advertised -- my previous MacBook2,1 had 4GB installed, which left about 3.5GB usable. Apple advertised that it's max was 2GB, but it worked just fine with 4GB in it. I know there are others as well that I had with more RAM in them than the max advertised.
That would be such absolute BS but it wouldn't surprise me at all. "Oh, you want to be able to use more RAM in your Mac? Well that wasn't advertised when we sold it to you, so in order to be able to do that you'll need to hand over $1".

You keep banging on about personal responsibility, yet now you seem to want to absolve the lunatic who tried to kill his wife of any responsibility at all. He is the one who tried to kill her. That she put herself in danger by underestimating his lunacy is a mistake, not a crime.

I'd add that the Desktop Celerons are junk (especially when you can get the budget-priced Pentium D for something like $130).
But the Mobile ones are actually a fairly good chip at a fairly good price. So long as the rest of the configuration is acceptable.
And when the budget priced Pentium D can be turned, with fairly little investment into an Athalon Smiting, Fire-Breathing beast. Give it a bit, if the Apple MBs have to conform to intel standards, then they're going to have standard fan mounts on them. With standard fan mounts, that means that if Apple doesn't include Phase-Change cooling systems from the factory, that aftermarket units will work. And that means, that when the MacPros come out, someone will be figuring out how to OC them to death.

Wow!
One question, are you using just the one PSU? I'm guessing you'll be running it pretty close to the limit for 24*7, especially if the cards are OCed.
Good luck!
Rob
I will be using my 1600w, 1200w till I run a dedicated 20amp outlet :p
My 850 corsair has no problems handling 3 OC'd 460s and OC'd 970.

That pitiful attempt at humour aside, my phone is almost ready for the great cellphone heaven so I'm quite tempted by the white iPhone.
Question is how much of the insides is different?

It's not a security hole.
That can be debated. It's a form of information leak that can be leveraged to generate personal information about you. It's a privacy concern but not a primary one. Just like an elevation exploit is a security concern, but not a primary one (as you already need some other access to the machine).
Privacy and security are so intertwined these days that you can't have privacy without security backing it up, thus you can argue any privacy hole is also a security hole.

That, in short, is why it's wrong to paint all Ivy Leaguers with the same broad brush.
So it's okay to generalize about Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Brown, and Columbia, but not the whole Ivy League? Please. Have you considered *not* generalizing, period?
And for the record, I switched two years ago. So I guess I'm a switcheur. Sorry if I don't meet your standards of excellence.:rolleyes: I'll just go on using my iMac, not because I enjoy it, but because I wanna hook up with a Princeton sugar mommy. :rolleyes:
