Has anyone been able to download the Office latest episode on the season pass? It's listed in iTunes but when I click check for available downloads, it tells me all episodes have been downloaded.

I purchased a xserve recently and I am trying to decide the best way to set up my home office network. I have the following components:

- Xserve (G5 Dual 2.3ghz)
- Mac Pro (Quad 3ghz)
- 2 iMac (24" Dual 2.8ghz)
- Airport Extreme (gigabit)

The main reason for purchasing the server is because my business partner lives in another state and I often collaborate with video editors, animators, and artists who are not on-site. I want to optimize the transfer speeds both locally and remotely. I have a cable internet connection (12down 2up) with a static IP.

1- How should I wire the local network. i.e. cable modem directly to the airport and then from the airport to all the components, or cable modem to xserve ethernet port 1 and then from port 2 to mac pro etc...

2- Is there anything I need to know to optimize connections with off site macs? I assume that establishing a VPN is the only option but I am definitely a rookie so any suggestion, no matter how basic, will be greatly appreciated. I would like to establish a "permanent" connection with my business partner and another graphic artist.

3- Any other suggestions/input is appreciated.

Since I reset my router/modem and changed my password, I couldn't connect to the internet on my ipod touch?

And while the industrial revolution may have taken care of that to a large degree, it's still alive and thriving in the realm of the supercar. Small independent exotic automakers abound, including names like Ascari, Ultima, Noble, Farboud, Farbio and Arash, to name just a few. Trying to keep track of them all is enough to make your head spin, especially when the same guy is behind the latter three. After selling off Farboud, the a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/07/farboud-changes-its-name-to-farbio/"new owners changed the name to Farbio/a and founder Arash Farboud started a new outfit under his first name.

Power is provided by the 7-liter pushrod V8 out of the Corvette Z06, tuned from the stock 498 hp up to 530 thanks to new intake and exhaust systems, driving the rear wheels through a manual Graziano gearbox and kept in check by AP Racing brakes. The supercar is expected to sell for about 170k pounds sterling - a fair bit less than the pound;220k a Lamborghini Murcielago will cost a British customer - and begin delivery sometime next year. A sequential gearbox is expected to join the catalog, as well as the potential for dropping in the supercharged V8 from the Corvette ZR1 a year and a half down the line.

First thread & post on MacRumors since I just finished signing in.
Besides that, I just want to jump to the point where I use my Playstation EYE for the PS3 to make videos. When I export my videos from the PS3 via Flashdrive onto the mac, it won't go in iMovie or play in Quicktime. At this moment, I haven't tried other video applications like Final Cut Pro. I switched the video format from mp4 to avi but neither. When I click to play the video, a message comes up saying, "An invalid sample description was found in the movie." Is there any possible way I can put it on iMovie 08?

A lot of criticism has been aimed at venture capitalists the last few days. The VCs are telling their portfolio companies to get ahead of the curve and conserve cash right now, and companies are starting to take their advice.

The criticism is coming from people who don’t understand that the world has changed in the last week and that companies need to change with it. And so they’re asking why VCs waited until now to tell everyone to conserve cash. Others are saying the boom is the VCs fault, and for them to lecture companies on conserving cash is ironic.

Fred Wilson wrote about this issue today and says VCs have a responsibility to give their best advice to their portfolio companies: “It’s all about acting responsibly and making sure we all survive to fight another day.”

But he doesn’t address the issue head on. I will. What we’re talking about is the goal of profit maximization, which is what every for profit business needs to aim for or go out of business. In the good times, that means growing intelligently. In the bad, it means maximizing your chances of survival.

Irrational Argument No. 1: The VCs Made This Happen

First, the downturn has nothing to do with the venture capitalists (in fact, it has nothing to do with Silicon Valley, this time). They have one job: generate the best return they legally can from their investors’ money. In boom times deals get competitive and VCs make independent decisions on what deals to bid for. Companies also have to pay more for people, resources, office space and advertising in boom times, which means they spend more money and have to raise more money. If you think venture capitalists are being irresponsible (or worse, evil) by investing money in those companies that they think are good bets, you’re just not getting how the whole system works.

Let me put it this way - if VCs ignored the economy and always invested super conservatively so that no one could accuse them of being irresponsible, they’d go out of business after their first fund failed to return capital to investors.

Irrational Argument No. 2: VCs Should Have Told Companies To Conserve Cash All Along

This is another argument that ignores the fact that people try to adapt to a changing world. At all times companies need to profit maximize. That means maximizing revenue and minimizing costs. Those goals are not aligned, however. Sometimes a company spends money on research and development to create future revenue streams. How much they spend is based on their own rational decisions on their financial health, the state of the economy, and their projections for the demand of a new product.

In good times, when core businesses are relatively safe, it makes sense to expand by hiring new people and developing new products. Or spending money on advertising and PR.

When times are tough, companies have to change strategies. They’re still maximizing profits, but they need to plan for tighter capital markets (really important to unprofitable startups) and harder revenue as advertising and other spending decreases.

Just like a bear in the woods (I imagine) has to slow its activity in the Winter as food supplies dwindle, startups need to go into cash conservation mode to increase their chances of survival when the market slows. They need to be prepared for a hit in revenue, and they know they can’t necessarily go to the capital markets to get money to stay in business.

But to argue that a company should always cut costs to the bare minimum is the same thing as asking that bear to act like it’s Winter in the Spring, because someday Winter is going to happen. All you end up with is a dead bear.

So I just got my iPod touch and I can't for the life of me figure out if there's a "sleep" mode, you know, where you can tell it to turn off after an hour of being on. I like to listen when I go to sleep, but if it's on all night, it actually keeps me from sleeping well. I feel totally dumb cause I can't seem to figure this out!

Any suggestions?

Hi there,
I have been using a PPTP VPN for a while, but I now want to get a new VPN service and use it through OpenVPN. How do I do that?
I am thinking of using Viscosity as my GUI for this, which is an app similar to Tunnelblick ( I think, do they do the same thing?). Anyways, I was wondering if I have to install anything beyond Viscosity on my mac (on leopard 10.5.5). I've read around and I've heard alot about editing config files and such and I don't know what to do. Will installing Viscosity be enough for OpenVPN to work?

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Hi, aren't iphone backups thru iTunes supposed to store all data, including app data?

I had to restore my iphone and phone all my data was gone, game saves, beejive log in data, etc etc. Also all my camera roll photos are gone. ALL OF THEM.

Gosh, I just realised my SMS messages are also gone.

Did Apple scrape the backup option because it was taking hours to backup all data? :(((( I was NOT expecting this.

I have an Aluminum iMac with a nearly full 320gb internal drive.

What I need is one external drive to provide additional storage space, and a second larger drive to backup the other two via Time Machine - I hope Time Machine is capable of doing this, but I don't know if it can.

Ideally, I would purchase a dual drive enclosure, a 500gb drive for additional storage, and a large 1TB drive to backup the internal drive on the iMac AND the 500gb drive.

Can I do this with this particular OWC firewire enclosure?

http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other...g/MEFW924AL2K/


OWC doesn't mention anything about being Time Machine Compatible...Do I have anything to worry about here or are there better solutions?

Hello,

I currently own an iPod Touch, and love it. I'm not much of a phone user (I use my current phone MAYBE 20 mins a month), but I would love to have a mobile camera, and have everything all in one without having to haul both my ipod and phone.

It looks like the cheapest plan is $69.99/mo, is this correct?
