I have a 2006 mini I use as an HTPC, the fan is louder than I'd like it to be but it's running at a normal RPM so there's not much I can do about it. My sister has a 2010 mini and I noticed it's much quieter than mine, nearly silent. So I was wondering if anyone knows if the fan model used in the 2010 would work in a 2006?
Maybe you already tried this, but I have a 2005 mini and I opened it yesterday, because I never did it and was curious. Ofcourse there was a bunch of dust inside it and after giving it a quick blowthrough it was much quieter. Probably means you 1) need less RPM to cool sufficiently (although you said it's running at normal frequency), and 2) less noise will be generated at the same RPM level. Get some decent pressured air (canned or perhaps some sort of pump) and you'll get probably better results than I did.
If you (like I did) never cleaned it, it's only to be expected that your mini makes more noise than your sisters.

Apple displays will have to be updated before the end of the year to keep their promise of eliminating harmful chemicals etc. for Greenpeace's sake. When I don't know, I would think either very soon 1 month or late summer.
I expect them at either NAB in April or WWDC. I imagine they will be MUCH thinner than they are now, and will likely have an isight built-in and maybe HDMI. The 24" will probably replace the 23." Outside of that I do not expect much from Apple in the display department. Should be interesting to see if Apple goes with the Glossy Displays (or maybe will make both and give customers an option).

That's quite exciting. From the Appleinsider article i linked to a few posts back the ambient light sensor intrigued me. I'll have to wait until i see the actual thing of course because of the vague qualities of patent sketches, but the different screen functionality looks neat and the "now playing" screen's different changing factors at the bottom is a nifty concept. We'll see what happens...

Finder:
- Have an address bar so I can copy and paste file locations. Really useful to a developer, especially with working between the Finder and Terminal.
- Have a way of seeing how much disk space directories and their children take up, both with number sizes and graphically.
- Stop freaking putting every downloaded file in the bottom right of my Desktop, on top of the last downloaded file. Put the icon anywhere else on the free half of my Desktop.
- If I empty the trash, I expect to see that volume's space taken or available value update right away for its icon, on the Desktop.
- Tabbed Finder windows?
And what about all the really simple things. Like if I select a bunch of files (eg: 8 photos), I want to be able to see the size (in Bytes) of the 8 photos I selected. Right now, Finder tells me that I have selected 8 files, but also tells me the total HD space remaining rather than the size of the 8 files.
Just some very simple things, Apple. PathFinder works so much better than Finder. Too bad it was so much slower than Finder. :rolleyes:

Thanks for that. The teacher likes to toss in trick questions and I almost want to say this question is TRUE except for the part that says "Subscripts may be of different types as long as they are ordered." Even if Subscripts are of a different type that is not going to effect the array type. If they are ordered the array will still be initialized, right?
That is not giving away the answer, but I am leaning towards True as the result for the answer for the question.

Hi,
I looked into the ECC vs Non-ECC issue a little more. You can use Non-ECC ram in your MacPro but you can't mix and match ECC and Non-ECC sticks. So, if you were to buy Non-ECC ram you would have to get rid of the ECC ram that's already in your machine. This combined with the fact that error checking ram is preferable to non error checking ram, I would say just spend the extra money and get proper ECC ram. Also, it really isn't that much more expensive.

Well, I was thinking $80 for the unit itself. It comes with the original box and controller, power cord, connection cables. Shipping to Spain will be a bit higher than to the US, obviously.
Now, For extra, I can include one more Microsoft controller and then one 3rd party wireless controller if you want. I also have Quatumn Redshift, Jedi Starfighter, Enter the Matrix and some other games. (I'm not at home right now and won't be for three more days, so I am unable to check for you)

Figured it out. It kept trying to relaunch because the wiki server was turned on for some reason(everything else was disabled). Disabled that and collabd quit.
Hi! I have the same problem and could you tell me how to disable the wiki server?
Thanks!

Am I the only one that thinks this is a lame looking sandwich box? Also, I have my stuff on my Mac in another room. That's switched on, whilst I sitting in the living room watching my stuff on a TV, isn't that a bit pointless? Why not make it hard drive compatible or even put the content on the box?
More money than sense, and not much sense at that. Big screen TV's are a rip off, and the so-called 'sexy iTV' is quite the opposite.
Why don't they just put a HDMI socket on a Mac Mini? This would let you use Front Row on your flat screen TV, this gives you the option of DVD's, USB TV cards (and video recording), etc.......You can already access media on other comps via front row!
iTV only seems to be a Airport Express with a video output!

Get the MacBook pro. When you need more disk space, get a nice fast external Thunderbolt disk (they'll be just as fast as internal disks on the MacPro).
The new MBP machines are really fast - coming up to the speed of my 3 year old 8 core MacPro.
Then buy an iMac in a year by which time it will have Thunderbolt too - and use your external drives on that.
Sound plan! Honestly, I am convinced that I will buy an MBP early next week. Maybe tomorrow? I am leaving the Windows camp for awhile. Disclaimer: my laptop is three and a half years old and has served me well! A few times I have traveled out of state, but it mostly was treated as a desktop replacement.
Yes, Thunderbolt will be unbelievable fast! USB ?.?? LOL I cannot imagine the time that will be saved when backing up two to four 1 TB drives. I am excited to purchase an Apple computer! Since I am armed with knowledge form this thread, I will buy either a base 15" or the high end 15." The 17" MBP is awesome and my current laptop has a 17" screen, but IMHO, the MBP 17" is pricey. Although, I have been known to contradict my initial thoughts regarding an expensive purchase. ;)
Damnit, now I have to study! :D

I'm pretty sure Jobsy hasn't done a "One More Thing" (which is annoying, cos even ppl who've noticed this still hope for them) since they did an event actually called "One More Thing" about 2 years ago. Last Macworld's keynote was just about the AppleTV (which we'd heard about 3 months previous as the iTV) and of course the iPhone, with no OMT whatsoever.
I think they scrapped it because internet hype and Thinksecret's rumour success rate meant that the "One More Thing" was usually leaked beforehand anyways, so when they did it, it was less of a nice surprise and more of a relief that the rumour sites hadn't gotten our hopes up about nothing.

Unfortunately, your only choices are to stay at 3.2 or update to 4.3.2. Apple is no longer allowing 4.3.1 to be installed. There's a way to get around this restriction, but to do so you need to have SHSH saved, and since you just got your replacement device from Apple, there wouldn't be any SHSH saved for it.
To replicate your old iPad's settings onto the replacement iPad, you restore from the old iPad's backup. Right click on the iPad icon on the left-hand column in iTunes, and you'll see a menu option saying "restore form bakcup." However, backups from newer firmware sometimes don't work on older firmware, so you might need to update to 4.3.2 in order to restore from your old iPad's backup.
Personally, I'd update and wait for a JB for 4.3.2, hopefully it won't take too long for it to come out.

heh... not that anyone actually cares... since it is all based on feel.
The new design actually starts slightly higher on the page than the old design and the middle column story actually isn't significantly elongated.... at least in this sample resolution
Note: the Yellow Dots note the top-left and bottom-right of the first article in the old layout. While the Green Dots are positioned at the top-left, and bottom-right of the new layout. (same resolution, around 830pixels wide and then shrunk down 50%)

And good riddance. VPC, Office Mac and Macromedia Studio 8 under Rosetta are the only apps I've found that can do an accurate job of emulating OS X running as sluggish as Windows.

"Top News: Steve Jobs Taking Leave of Absence"
My apologies if someone has already posted this, but I'm getting increasingly irritated by this new 'feature' on the main page.
When something was important (like his leave of absence or a countdown to an event), that space was used for that purpose and removed when it was no longer relevant.
Now, you have a permanent space for it and it's almost like crying wolf. When something important really needs to go there, most people will likely ignore it because you've had the same "Top News" there for weeks.
I could go on, but I think you got my point. Leave good enough alone until a true redesign.
Thanks,

After taking about a 3 hours nap, I've spent the last several hours working on my blog post of the iPhone 3G S launch at the Miami Beach Apple Store.
This being Miami Beach, it wasn't your average launch...with police shoot outs, road blocks, drunk people stumbling by the line (and dancing), and of course Mr. Clucky.
