I've been going through many threads and can't decide on a particular setup so I thought I'd open up a thread and get some opinions.
I'm currently doing my masters in aero. engineering and also fly planes on the side/am working towards my commercial license. After I'm finished (in about 4 months) I plan on potentially doing med. school and continuing to fly. I've currently got the 27" i7 iMac at home which I use quite often, but can't decide on whether or not to get and keep a 11" Macbook Air (upgraded 4gb) or iPad 2 (64gb wifi) (I picked up both and have about a week and a half left to return either one).
I've been leaning towards the air since it seems to be the more versatile option, but on the other hand since I have a regular desktop/full mac at home I feel like having something low power on the road to be the better option.
Well, it really depends on what you want/need to do on the road. If you're looking for content consumption and a little bit of e-mail, the iPad seems like a good choice.
If you need a full computer on the road for...? Looking at the applications in the Dock of my MBP, Address Book, iCal, Mail, Safari, Text Editor, iTunes, iPhoto, DVD Player, iChat. Well, you can do most of that with an iPad pretty well and either via cable or MobileMe sync, the data would sync with your iMac.
But then I run Windows in a VM almost all of the time and sometimes need VPN (Watchguard custom) and connect to multiple computers via RDP, the iPad doesn't go there.
So, light duty computing? iPad! Full on computing? MBA 11"!
Cheers.

I had the same issues. I just used Boxee and it's advanced calibration options to make the screen fit. Does not help anything but Boxee so your Safari still won't fit but your movies will fit. You can also control Boxee over wifi with an iOS device. Let me know if you need help with that.

I would be nice if it did get an update, but that would make me mad. I just got a new one like a week and a half ago (I would have waited, but I needed it for school). The Powerbooks need updating. Also, if they did ugrade the ibooks, they would be fater that the Tibooks, which is not going to happen. There could be a joint upgarde though.

30 August Tuesday - put in an order for over �2000 (which included an iPod and 20" iMac) of goods and was cleared for 10 months interest free credit by MBNA
6 September Tuesday - had heard nothing and in the mean time decided to change some items on the order. Was told that I would have to cancel and begin with a new order and would have to speak to MBNA again. Tried to re-order but got tired of waiting.
7 September Wednesday - decided that I would attempt to re-order. Was successful.
8 September Thursday - received MBNA agreement for my original order that had been cancelled, so tore it up and through it away.
9 September Friday - received MBNA agreement for my second order, signed it and posted. Also contacted the Apple Store to inquire about a confirmation email as I had not received one. Was told that I would get one once finance was agreed.
12 September Monday - received an email, so I assumed all was well and that I might get a delivery by the end of the week.
22 September Thursday - having waited nearly two weeks I telephoned to inquire about my order. Was told that finance had not been agreed. I explained all of the above. Was asked to be patient for 24 hours before canceling as the finance department was not open. The Apple Store would get back to me. I gave my mobile number and it was agreed that a message would be left on my voicemail the next day.
23 September Friday - the next day - heard nothing.
No new iMac. Disappointed and upset. Am I being unreasonable? Do I cancel? :(

clean status doesnt play well with others...i would recommend springtomize.
What problems are you talking about
I installed cleanstatus and havent notice any problems
Does springtomize have lockscreen clock hide & all the options of cleanstatus bar ?

I am wondering what the best all around case is for the iPod Touch. I want it to look good, easily fit in my pocket, and protect my ipod. I am willing to spen around $20-$30 for it.
Thanks

I was wondering what works great for calibrating an iMac? I have used the i1 display 2 from x-rite and was wondering who has had good sucess with it. to me it seems to automatically adjust everything and you do not have to do anything manually. I still thing the screen brightness is too bright. Does it not change this setting? Also is the x-rite color munki better? I am using the 27" iMac and the epson 4900 pro stylus printer. I have found an internal color calibration tool in system preferences on the iMac. Anyone ever used this?
I am trying to get to WYSIWYG when printing from my iMac to my epson 4900 printer.
thanks...

A question that probably doesn't need to be asked, but curious what people think. I have an iPhone 3G but have reserved an iPhone 4 to be picked up this Thursday (btw, had to do that through the Apple Store APP due to the website glitches!!).
So the question is whether I should still upgrade to iOS 4 today on my 3G...? I'm thinking I could get a head start on implementing folders at a minimum. But maybe just a colossal waste of time...

Is it a political ploy - Yes
Is it necessary - No
How does one respond to this poll? Both answers are correct and/or wrong.
(edit) A closer reading seems to be that the question is only about necessity.

Found two, I can do them for $5 shipped (let me know if you feel that is unreasonable).
For the record I also have the LCD latch mechanism and two hinges for sale.

yes, Mr. Taxi! That's it! Mountain Dew is already selling insanely well, meanwhile Pepsi was probably on the verge of getting sued for false advertising because Sierra Mist tastes crap, and nothing like a making-out with a hot chick after she rubs ice, lemon, and lime on her lips (believe me, this has been tested :D)
Therefore, MD sales need no boost while people are trying to GIVE Sierra Mist away!

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. :-)
