I just spent the past hour making a PHP RSS feed for my site and I just thought I'd boast. Ok I know its nothing terribly advanced with PHP, but I've only been using it for a month or so, and its quite a big achievement for me (firstly its the first loop i've coded, secondly its the first time I've had to trick the browser into thinking the file is something its not). I also taught myself how incredibly useful the UNIX_TIMESTAMP and date() functions are... wow!
So now when I add a new song/picture to my website it automatically creates a new entry in my RSS SQL table, as well as adding itself to my news table, and of course in the relevant section. Not that difficult but its great the amount of time it should save me - especially if all of my site was done using html pages. Thats 3 lots of information I'd have to copy and paste in!
I think I need to make myself a widget to update all this information from my dashboard!
Oh yeah this is all to do with putting off getting my site to look normal in Windows Internet Explorer :p

I plan on running Windows via VMWare or Parallels on my MBP and I heard that Windows 7 requires more CPU to virtualize, I am just wondering if it's true, and if so, is it significant?
I will be running the virtualization probably constantly so I want to avoid anything that might slow down OSX. I hear 7 is the best choice for Boot Camp though, so I'm torn.
Any insight would be appreciated :)

I just got an iPod, and when I connected it to my Mac, I allowed it to automatically sync. I have not created any playlists in iTunes, so the default ones were "90s Music", etc. I noticed that now my iPod Shuffle has all of the default playlists, the Music folder from my library, and the Purchased folder. I went ahead and deleted the default playlists from iTunes because I don't use playlists, and it was taken off the iPod. But both "Music" and "Purchased" folders are still on the iPod with the same songs (I have not ripped anything into iTunes). Is there any need for these two folders? Should I delete one or the other? How come the Music folder in the library will not let me drag songs where I want them? :confused:

I have a BestSkinsEver combined with a Belkin Grip Vue Tint. The front is pretty good with minimal orange peel and quality degration. I don't feel any added resistance when dragging either. I do know what you are talking about though with Zagg IS as I have several devices with them too. I would probably end up getting a Power Support Anti-Glare screen protector if my BSE gets ruined. I suggest you go with the PS unless your full body skin is falling apart.

What the seller probably meant is that it won't actually boot in a standard Windows PC, which would be correct.
But a Mac Pro running Windows via Bootcamp, different story.

My google maps app has a problem. It will locate me with the blue dot until I zoom out then it shows a completely different city (and it shows the blue locate dot that I'm there?) I've tried a soft and hard reset. Could someone give me some advice please?
Do your location services work with other apps accurately?

Hey guys ! :)
I hope you can help a newbie like me with these questions.. I plan on buying an Imac which will be used for music production with Logic Studio.
The Imac will be connected to a Midi-keyboard and thats it.
Is the 21.5-inch: 2.5GHz base model powerful enough for this? Can it run Logic Studio smoothly without any problems?
I don't really want to upgrade the 21.5 to i7 as it will cost me 700 bucks more, so will it really be worth it to upgrade to i7 ?
Looking forward to your answers.
Thanks
Should be more than enough. But it highly depends on what you do and how you do it.

I've done some research, and it appears that DisplayOut is the best option for mirroring software and Resupported4 is best for using generic cables. However, one last thing that I cannot find is which cable to get. There was a thread a while back with eBay links, but those listing have long expired. Can anybody recommend a good, cheap generic cable for this purpose?

3am. Yikes. :eek:
I was thinking 530am would be good enough at UTC. I have a work meeting at 9am in Sorrento Valley. Perhaps I'm going to have to wait for iPhone 4. :(
I was just at the store, and there were already 6 people lined up to camp for the night! But I have a feeling that if you're there when the store opens, you should be fine. I really think this is all hype.
Fashion Valley won't let people line up until 5 am, so I'm thinking that might be a better bet.

Are you seriously concerned about that? How about them robbing us from years? They have made more than enough mate. Don't know how US people perceives their carriers but in Canada most of us are fed up from the big 3.
Then start up carrier 4 and give away free internet.
Problem solved.

It's been driving me crazy. It started only three or so weeks ago. A summary of the issue is as follows: around 6PM Pacific Standard Time, every single night (so far as I've been able to track and experience), I'll be on ventrilo with friends, and suddenly they will start to cut out. I'll watch their speaker icons stay green as if they're speaking with an open mic, but in reality, it's just lag on my side somehow. "Ping" as displayed on the ventrilo application will erratically change every ten to fifteen seconds or so anywhere from 200ms to 30,000ms. All the while, traceroute, ping, etc., all these will return pings under 200 while this is happening. Outbound is fine, there is no upload lag whatsoever, no lag in the game, closing the game doesn't help (WoW in case you're wondering). Skype experiences similar inbound lag. This will all last until about 8PM PST, give or take, but mostly give.
So, it's not a network problem as far as I can prove, yet it's entirely network related. It's mindblowing. Sadly, I'm a guild leader on the game I play, and I run rated games, so it's very important that this works for me, but it only starts right around the time that I can schedule these games. My ISP absolutely will not help me with this as I cannot show them via ping tests that it's their problem. I'm afraid it may not be.
My CPU during this time seems okay. I can't really find any red flags. I haven't really installed any new widgets or anything that I can think of. I've tried quitting various processes during all this, like relaunching finder, quitting iTunes, Safari, even WoW, and even just trial and error through the activity monitor - no luck.
I tried running sudo tcpdump in the terminal and I really have no idea how to read it, not too seasoned in network analysis... But I will attach a picture. I know it doesn't help that you can't see my IP address, but I am kinda paranoid about posting it, too.
Anyway, any help would be a blessing. Thanks.

Don't do it, I've recently run into circumstances where a used mac I purchased from ebay, from an account that's 4+ years old, active, and very highly rated, may actually be stolen. Not worth it at all in my opinion.
Wow, you're scaring me. Can you elaborate?

I disagree- the Incase Slider for the iPod Touch 4th Gen is the best case for the iPod. It costs about $34.95, just a few dollars above your price range but it'll definitely protect your iPod from drops at a reasonable height.
I've had this case for a while now, and recently, while I was untangling my headphone cables, I accidentally dropped my iPod and it fell about four feet on to the cold, hard street pavement.
I thought I had broken my iPod, but it didn't even have a scratch on it! The case wasn't cracked either- it just had a little scuff mark that only showed when directly in light. This case also has a bit of a lip so it raises the screen a bit so if it hits a surface, the screen won't make contact.
Here are a few photos of the case:

Despite the fact that I shouldn't be spending money I don't have, I'd wanted a Mac for a long time, since working with them at Uni and, prior to that, at various workplaces including a stint on Work Experience at Your Sinclair.
Having owned PCs from an almost steam powered 8086 through to the last Dual Core 2 machine I have (and the last PC I may ever own), it was a big move to go back to Mac OS and learn it all over again.
But a refurbished Mac Mini (2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) at �510 was a bargain and I had to have it, especially as it now means I can review Mac App Store games on my website.
The Mac Mini delivery was incredibly quick. Arriving on Tuesday morning after ordering late on Sunday, I barely had time to clean the study ready for the new machine.
Setting up was easy, plug in and go. Mac OSX greated me with a light and sound show. Ok, it was a slightly tinny sound as I hadn't set the sound to come out of the TV.
Moving across iTunes was far harder. Reformatting one 1TB Hard Drive to be used on the Mac then copying across 200GB of data from an NTFS drive to the new one. Some fiddling around later, much hunting for Artwork on albums, one iPhone synced to the new iTunes and I still have to sync my iPod Touch, losing all the game saves in the process. (it's ok, I really want to go through and 3 star EVERY SINGLE Angry Birds level all over again. Grrrr).
Now the learning curve begins.

Cool. And that works with a 1,1 model? Apple's site says otherwise but I'm assuming it's just unsupported?

On wii sports boxing its used as your left hand when boxing.(only wii sports games that uses the nunchuck) On zelda its used quite alot. They are the only two games ive got but if you intend on buying a second wiimote then theres no reason not to fork out for a nunchuck. But at the moment there arnt many games that use it to my knowledge. Obiosly zelda does but the excite truck thing doesnt. Soooo ummm theres to reason to have 2 nunchucks just for the hell of it. Sorry for this crap answer but i hope ive informed you a little bit.
