Looking to buy my first imac and have seen the above model numbers.
I can't see the difference other than the mb323 is around £150 less.
Is it an old model and if so what differences would i find.
Thankyou

Hey!

I was asked to film and edit the official DVD for my schools christmas concert which is for me, an honour.

I filmed using my very old (10 years at least) Sony handycam as well as a fancy HD camera, which just so happened to fail halfway through.

So basically I have two video tracks that I want to edit simultaneously. Is there any cheap iMovie 06 esque apps/plugins i can find?

my budget is very very tight. like 1,000Â¥ tight.

also I am very worried about the contrast of low quality picture and high quality picture :s...what should I do?

Thanks

Just imagine -- yapping for hours on end to your dream lover could actually leave your cellphone with more juice than what it started with. This completely bizarre scenario could theoretically become a reality according to new research from a professor at Texas A&M University, and it's all thanks to the magic of nanoscale piezoelectrics. If you'll recall, we've seen this technology generate energy in wearable devices before, so it makes sense that sound wave energy could also be captured and converted into electricity. Of course, we're still a good ways away from this being ready for commercialization, but who knows how quickly this could come together if placed in the capable (albeit unpredictable) hands of Dr. Walter Bishop.

Armed robbers -- some dressed as women -- have stolen an estimated €80 million ($102m) in jewels during a brazen raid at a central Paris store, French police say. Three or four thieves swiped rings, necklaces and luxury watches from display cases at the Harry Winston store near the Champs-Elysees.

At least 300 girls are hiding in Kenya to escape forced female circumcision.

But giving the Bank of Scotland brand such prominence on the high street may help to allay some local fears. /ppBrokered by Gordon Brown to try to prevent HBOS from collapsing, the deal still faces a challenge next Monday and Tuesday at the Competition Appeal Tribunal, in a case brought by Scottish businessmen. They will argue that the move should not have been cleared by the competition authorities./ppThe enlarged group will have 3,000 branches across the UK - more than any other bank - but is expected to close those where there is overlap. It insists no decision has yet been made on how many branches will close or how many jobs will lost from the 140,000 workforce. There are persistent rumours that 40,000 jobs are at risk at what will be known as Lloyds Banking Group, although these have been denied by Lloyds./ppDecisions are still to be taken about all the brands that the Lloyds stable will own following the merger. It is still not clear what will happen to Lloyds' CG mortgage brand or its Scottish Widows insurance business or HBOS operations such as Insight, Clerical Medical or Birmingham Midshires./ppThe group announced, though, that the major names Lloyds TSB, Bank of Scotland and Halifax would all survive in some form. While Bank of Scotland will replace all the other brands in Scotland, it will not be used on the high street in Wales or England, where Lloyds TSB and Halifax will both be used. It has not yet been decided whether the Bank of Scotland Corporate brand will be used outside Scotland./ppEric Daniels, Lloyds TSB chief executive who will run the combined bank, said: "Lloyds TSB is committed to a multi-brand strategy for its banking business. We believe that our brands are the strongest in the UKretail financial services sector and we are very focused on growing and developing them. Lloyds Banking Group will have the largest branch network in the United Kingdom which means we will be able to provide an even higher level of service to our customers."/ppThe Unite union insisted it would fight any compulsory job losses. Derek Simpson, Unite joint general secretary, said: "The union's priority remains the job security of the hard-working staff who have worked tirelessly to ensure that both financial institutions continue to deliver an excellent service to their customers. /pp"We will also fight to ensure that no branches are closed in areas where they are currently the last bank locally. Unite will be pressing for meaningful consultation on any possible business changes. /pp"It is vital that management do not forget the impact of any changes on all the stakeholders, including: staff, local business and communities. Unite the union will not accept any compulsory job losses."/pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/lloydstsbgroup"Lloyds TSB/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/hbos"HBOS/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/banking"UK banking sector/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/banks"Banks and building societies/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/scotland"Scotland/a/li/ul/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/-xn_LEhBcoVRjMHG0L8uR-0JecY/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/-xn_LEhBcoVRjMHG0L8uR-0JecY/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p
