The 54-story tower planned to house The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Los Angeles and JW Marriott when it opens in 2010 will also include an 8,000 sq ft screen on its eastern face, without disrupting the view of guests inside. The result of a deal between property owners AEG and sponsor Panasonic, the 50-foot by 160-foot screen will live in the neighborhood of the new Yankee Stadium and the Dallas Cowboys new home. No word on the exact res, but there will no doubt be plenty of HD as the entire complex, including Staples Center and Nokia Theatre, is getting Panasonic screens installed as part of the deal. Our reservations are already in, check after the break for an illustration of the future layout.

Hi,

I'd really appreciate any help with this as my 11 month old iMac has hit a big problem!

I turned it on the other night only to see it boot to a flashing blue screen. The screen has a mouse pointer but nothing to click/select. The mac stays like this and never progresses. After doing some searching I've tried the following...

1) Reset the PVram - no luck

2) Tried booting in safe mode. I get a login window but it won't let me log in. Usually my mac is set to boot straight in to Leopard and I do not have a user password. Leaving the password box blank and trying to log in doesnt work.

3) I inserted the leopard install disc and did an archive/reinstall. All went though ok but again after a restart it asks me for a password. I tired my blank password as usual - no luck!

4) Using utilities by booting off the leopard install disc I reset my password, this time to an 8 digit password. I restarted again and tried logging in with new password, but again it won't log in!

5) I'm currently doing a full time machine restore to see if this fixes it but I don't hold out any hope.

Anyone got any ideas? If it helps I'm using an early 2008 alu imac 20 inch with 2.0 ghz intel adn 2gb ram.

Thanks so much in advance!

Dan
