When he said BLUERAY everyone thought that in that minute Steve will announce the Blueray integration to the product line.
If you see the keynote in that moment the crowd makes some noise.
But nothing
Get the feeling that they didn't coordinate notes. :-)

This article (http://www.usenix.org/events/woot10/tech/full_papers/Aviv.pdf) in PDF format is a report from University of Pennsylvania researches who found that they could read passwords from photos of screens of Android phones when the "password pattern" method is used to unlock the phone.
Oily residues, or smudges, on the touch screen surface, are one side effect of touches from which frequently used patterns such as a graphical password might be inferred.
Their experiments showed that they could read passwords from residual smudges a good percentage of the time.
In one experiment, the pattern was partially identifiable in 92% and fully in 68% of the tested lighting and camera setups. Even in our worst performing experiment, under less than ideal pattern entry conditions, the pattern can be partially extracted in 37% of the setups and fully in 14% of them.
It may have been a convenient feature, but users of phones that allow pattern-based passwords would be wise to use an alphanumeric password instead.
On an iPhone I imagine that the same problem could occur if somebody photographed your screen right after you entered a password on the virtual keyboard.
Unless we all wear gloves or have exceptionally non-greasy hands!

But I had expand it seriously. All nerds know that using ones hand to count to 5 is just not good use of resources. So redundant. Why not count all the way from 0 to 31 with that same hand...? Of course with 2 hands I could have kept on going all the way to 1023, but that would be a bit boring eventually, wouldn't it? :D
It's like the (good) old joke: There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't. ;)
A small note: The 'tar should have been transparent, but ImageReady (CS) doesn't render it properly. Don't know how to get rid of some slicing and some tweens that have gotten into the animation, and after a long night trying and failing, I'm on the verge of giving up on transparency... :( :o

Get an M-Audio pre-amp, then you can plug any mic into it (Shure, etc).
Pre-Amp provides for much better quality and flexibility...

Im building a digital picture frame and I need help with the software setup.
Im baseing it on a Windows based laptop. I need some kind of software that can run an automated slideshow of pictures from a selected folder.
This all has to start automatically when the thing boots up. (Something I can add to start-up items)
Thansk!

Research in the US has found that songs get stuck in our heads because they create a "brain itch" that can only be scratched by repeating the tune over and over.
In Germany, this type of song is known as an "ohrwurm" - an earworm - and typically has a high, upbeat melody and repetitive lyrics that verge between catchy and annoying.
Songs such as the Village People's YMCA, Los Del Rio's Macarena, and the Baha Men's Who Let The Dogs Out owe their success to their ability to create a "cognitive itch," according to Professor James Kellaris, of the University of Cincinnati College of Business Administration.
"A cognitive itch is a kind of metaphor that explains how these songs get stuck in our head," Professor Kellaris told BBC World Service's Outlook programme.
"Certain songs have properties that are analogous to histamines that make our brain itch.
"The only way to scratch a cognitive itch is to repeat the offending melody in our minds."
'Insidious and blatant'
Professor Kellaris has presented the early results of his earworm research at a conference on Consumer Psychology.
He said that virtually everyone suffered from a cognitive itch at one time or another.
"Across surveys I found that from 97% to 99% of the population is susceptible to earworms at some time," he stated.
"But certainly some people are more susceptible than others. Women tend to be more susceptible than men, and musicians are more susceptible to them than non-musicians."
The research is of particular interest to both the pop industry - looking to boost sales - and to advertisers, who often use jingles to get their brand name stuck in the head of listeners.
"For both advertising purposes and pop music purposes, you want something that once heard is not forgotten quickly or easily," explained jingle writer Chris Smith, adding that a good earworm was "Insidious - and often quite blatant".
"One of the key elements of an earworm is repetition," he said.
"If you have something with a lot of varied content, it's not so easily assimilated.
"So really, I would have thought that for practical purposes an earworm is really something that people can take on very quickly and then reproduce while walking down the street, much to everybody else's annoyance."
Clearing the mind
Even the greatest musicians had suffered with earworms, Mr Smith said.
Mozart's children would "infuriate" him by playing melody and scales on the piano below his room - but stopping before completing the tune.
"He would have to rush down and complete the scale because he couldn't bear to listen to an unresolved scale," Mr Smith related.
Professor Kellaris said that his research had shown that there was, however, no standard for creating an earworm - people could react differently to different tunes.
"I compiled a top 10 list of earworms in the US, but the number one item is simply the category 'other' - which means that any tune is prone to become an earworm," he said. "It's highly idiosyncratic."
And he added that there was also no guaranteed way of ever getting the song off the brain.
"Replacement strategies rarely work, because as we search our memories for a replacement tune, we're likely to come up with another earworm," he admitted.
"Some people swear by completion strategies - if you listen through a piece in its entirety, some times that will make it go away."

MyWi has always been one of my favorite apps to use on the go with my Mac and iPad(WiFi). But today it stopped working on my Mac, despite doing nothing to any settings. It says that the connection has a self assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to internet. This odd thing is that it works on my iPad still.
I really need this issue fixed ASAP so that I can use my Mac at school to do my assignments.
Thanks in advanced. :D
Is that thru USB or Wifi?
Why not try another way of connecting your Mac? You have 3 options, Wifi, Bluetooth and USB.

Not aware of any effect on airport - I use airport all the time.
It is regular mouse size. Maybe a tad shorter and taller than the Apple mouse.

I actually think youtube looks quite clean and professional now when embedded in websites.
There's not much you can change, besides the color (I think) and size, which don't really matter.
I would say, don't include related videos at the end.. here's a little hack for you.
Here's a normal YouTube embed html code:
<iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UkvNmb9tMII" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe>
put &rel=0 at the end of the youtube url in the code to disable related videos.
So besides doing that, YouTube looks pretty good to me already.
If you really want to look professional, go with Vimeo (http://vimeo.com).

Hey guys:
I've gone through two 13" mbas (1.86/4gb, ultimate) and both have had inversion or pixel walk screen issues. Any time i scroll through webpages pixels will shift very subtely - for instance in macrumors archive those fine lines that box in posts will blur when actively scrolling up/down.
I can't find any definitive posts on what causes this aside from voltage issues w/lcd. The folks at genius bar were not helpful.
This site: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/inversion.php has some examples. Another thread on the issue https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2675037?threadID=2675037&tstart=43
Does anyone know if this is an issue with all the 13'' mbas? It's a small issue but really bothers me, especially since I scroll and read through tons of text and the flickering becomes pretty apparent.
Any advice on solutions or general thoughts on what the issue is exactly would be appreciated.
At this point I'm going to try a third 13'' ultimate and see if I get the same problem.
Same problem, 3 MBAs? Look elsewhere...impossible to get 3 bad ones in a row.

Before I sold my MBP, I had my iMac and MBP both using Time Machine on it. I never had an issue with deletion of files. I had it set to a high quota though, but it never crossed 600GB on the NAS total.
Synology makes smaller NAS units that have the same software as the one I reviewed. They have both a 2-bay and a single bay. Benefit to an extra bay with another drive is that you have redundancy in case one of the drives fails. I also have a USB hard drive attached and it backs up the entire NAS twice a week.
