Google Chrome 10 Is Lighting Fast, with some great new features.
I've been watching in near disbelief at how fast it is on my 15" 2011 8GB / Vertex 3, SSD equipped MBP.

Keynote @ Hour 2: Michael Jordan walks on stage spinning the MacBook Air on his finger...
Jordan makes more sense, but maybe the Globetrotters will help make up the entourage.
I think the name is dumb. I don't think they would link the product name to an easy to see banner. Obviously, the banner was meant to build hype or they would have just kept it covered.
They'll almost certainly do something cool with a wireless device, but I'm *certain* they won't name a machine Macbook Air. It doesn't even make any sense really.

5 / 10
4.0 Presentation
First-generation PS2 or GCN stuff. Basic, contrived storyline and archaic production values.
4.0 Graphics
Plain, not plane. Simple level designs with minimal artistic or technical stand-outs. Runs at 60 frames in 480p / 16:9, at least.
4.0 Sound
Generic background music and Banjo-Kazooie-like character blips minus the charm.
5.0 Gameplay
Single-craft missions are usually fun, if shallow. But the formation flying is a bore and a chore.
5.0 Lasting Appeal
The single-player affair won't last gamers too long. There is a two-player mode to come back to, but most won't care.
5.0 Meh OVERALL
"Where have all the good games gone ?" They better start arriving soon cause I'm getting really peeved. :( Even super swing golf seems to have been pulled for euro release disapearing off the radar :(
Edit: 1up gave it a great score of 3/10 BAD. :(

Ok I have been a PC/windows user since I was 10 and my mom brought home our first PC (a 486) in 1993. I have never used anything else mostly due to the fact I wasn't in charge if buying. However in the past year I have had a 2 year old Dell that had it's motherboard go out. A compaq laptop who's hdd went to crap, and now an Asus UL30a that for whatever reason wants to completely freeze in the middle of typing up documents and editing images and always seems to have it's auto-save feature fail in the process.
So here's my questions for all you Mac guys out there:
How is security on a Mac as opposed to a PC?
Is it easy to keep files and programs organized and easily accessible?
How is the "ease of use" for a Mac beginner? I wanna be able to get it and go! Just like with my iPhone.
And my number one priority, how dependable will my Mac be in 2,4,and 10 years down the line if I can't just go and get another one?
Any help at all will be greatly appreciated. And thank you in advance b

iPhone. You have a 13" MBP so I think it goes better with a iPhone since that is something you can put in your pocket and take anywhere.
I just picked up my first smart phone, the iPhone 3Gs for only $49 and it is the single coolest gadget I ever had in my life (over 50 years). Since I upgraded my AT&T service I get to get my iPhone I am entitled to another phone upgrade within 12 months (else it would be 18 months). My thinking was that I need to get to know my iphone and in a year I would be eligible to get a iPhone 5. My $49 3GS is fine and I don't miss the iphone 4 features but I am hoping that the iPhone 5 is both 4" screen and will work on AT&T with 4G for faster.... Those two phone upgrades was useful and helped me opt out of a iPhone 4 last month.
I really can't see needing an ipad with a MBP and iPhone. If I had an iMac then a iPad and iPhone makes sense but if in any case an iPhone has become a life changing must have device that fits in my pocket

Northern VA peep here, too.
Sitting here in Chantilly at work and live in Sterling going over my options.
Target - Reston, Sterling (x2), Chantilly, Fair Oaks
WalMart - Sterling, Fair Oaks
Best Buy - Fair Oaks, Sterling
Apple Store - Reston (or, Tysons if I wanted to drive)
Can't physically get somewhere until around 5. Still not sure.

You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 1.5 GB on later 12" PBs and 1.25 GB on earlier ones, using a 1 GB PC2700 RAM stick.
The hard drive can also be upgraded to (I think) any capacity IDE/P-ATA 2.5" laptop drive.
I don't know of any processor upgrades; you might check Sonnet's website to see if they have any.
Also, video editing and encoding on a G4 is not quite what I'd call "less intensive" use--it can do it, but it'll be slow.
And depending on the processor, Leopard will be OK--the faster the CPU, the better. Leopard on a 867 MHz G4 12" could be painful, though . . .
What a shame that the late iBooks maxed out at 1.5gb of memory but the 12" Powerbooks maxed to 1.25gb :(.
The largest capacity for IDE/ATA 2.5" hard drives are the Western Digital 320gb 5,400 rpm drive. They do make SSDs for the older format but they are more costly than the SATA drives.
The CPU/GPU are not upgradable unfortunately as they are soldered. Can't really upgrade the motherboard unless you are replacing it with the same one or replace them from the same model #, you can upgrade a 1.33ghz > 1.5ghz motherboard.
Any of this cost effective, no. But if you want a decent little living room laptop, they are great little devices. I'd also consider a last-gen 12"-14" iBook G4.
Also note, the 12" Powerbook is also the worst laptop to work on if you need to replace anything. Just try upgrading the optical drive :p

Hit the "Capture Now" button, end your capture with "esc.".
It should ask you to name the clip.
You could always "Import" the "Media" folder of iMovie captures too - I primarily use this when I'm capturing analog video that lacks a timecode that FCX can use.

4th Gen iPod Touch skins now available at Best Skins Ever. I have their skin on my 1st gen iPhone as well as 80GB iPod classic, no issues at all. Cost is $6.99 for the full body skin. Going to order mine so hopefully the skin is here by the time Apple finally get's around to shipping out my 64GB touch.

True... unfortunately, I'm not sure what's possible, so I don't really know!
I should imagine the G5 could act as some kind of central storage for the other Macs for iTunes, Photographs etc - but that's just some kind of glorified NAS box. I'm just curious at this point really, how else could it be used?

depends on what OS you are on now I guess.
i just upgraded my ipod touch and also had to restore a couple of times. apparently if you restore from a backup, it causes problems with the new jailbreak... can anyone confirm that? i ended up having to set up as a new (so i lost all settings and game saves) to get some jailbroken apps to work.
I'm running 4.2.1 now. What new features does 4.3.1 have over 4.2.1? I wasn't able to find anything really substantial.
