Hi guys,
I'm using a 20" G5 iMac to do some DTP at work. It's annoying having to cart it from home to work
everyday in my car, so I'm thinking about getting a refurb 2.1 Macbook for
£520. My G5 has a dedicated GPU and handles what I do just fine, although,
sometimes can bog down with photoshop open with a big pdf file open.
If I hook it up to an external monitor, do you think the Macbook will be able to handle it with a
X3100?
Cheers!

Troisième et dernier jour à “Milan la grise” et c’est
déjà l’heure du départ… et dans la foule celui de faire un
bilan sur ce séjour.
Milan la grise
Premier constat : Une dangereuse tendance à la complexification de
l’offre avec toujours plus de logiciels pour la création graphique
(Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks), l’animation (Catalyst, Flash) et le code (Flex
Builder, ColdFusion). Il y a donc un écart important entre le discours (simplifier la vie
des designeurs / développeurs) et la réalité (une offre toujours plus dense
et de nombreuses licences à acquérir). Même si visiblement l’argument
massue avancé par Adobe semble être la parfaite transparence du langage FXG qui
permet d’échanger des fichiers projets en toute simplicité, il
n’empêche que la lisibilité de l’offre et de quels outils ont besoin les
équipes va rapidement être problématique.
Deuxième constat, toute cette débauche de bonne volonté (plus de
productivité, de confort...) ne semble concerner que trois métiers : designeur,
intégrateurs et développeur. Les concepteurs et chefs de projet sont
toujours ignorés. Étrange dans la mesure où se sont deux
fonctions-clés dans la chaîne de production et où le chef de projet joue
justement un rôle central dans l’animation de l’équipe projet et surtout
dans la circulation de l’information. Mais où sont donc les outils de supervisation
? Où alors peut-être que les équipes d’Adobe évoluent dans un
univers parallèle où un projet de site web débute avec une maquette de site
sous Photoshop qui est déjà toute prête et où les équipes de
production n’ont qu’un seul projet à gérer à la fois…
Comment fait-on SVP pour rejoindre cet univers ?
Idem pour les concepteurs, même si Flash
Catalyst apporte un début de réponse, nous sommes encore très loin
d’un produit réellement exploitable pour pouvoir concevoir des arboresences, des cas
d’utilisation, des scénarios de navigation et surtout des maquettes fonctionnelles
qui soient rigoureuses. De plus, la vision d’Adobe est encore bien trop tournée vers
les RIA alors que jusqu’à preuve du contraire… le HTML n’est pas mort
(enfin il me semble).
Je pense qu’une des clés serait de compléter l’offre avec un service
d’espaces projet collaboratifs. Ce type de solution existe déjà mais rien
n’est spécifiquement étudié pour les projets web. Adobe aurait ainsi
toute légitimité à proposer ceci en l’intégrant aux
environnements de création (Creative Suite) et en l’adossant à une plateforme
SaaS comme Acrobat.com.
Troisième constat : La course à l’armement avec Silverlight
pour les capacités vidéo et 3D. Visiblement les contenus
vidéo HD, le dynamique streaming et les casual games en 3D sont en centre de nombreuses
attentions et les prochaines versions de ces deux players (Silverlight 3 et flash 11) devraient
élever la barre encore plus haut (pour la plus grande joie utilisateurs).
Voilà, il est maintenant tant pour moi de faire mes valises et de rentrer.
Si vous croisez d’autres bilans de ce type sur la conférence, merci de mettre
l’URL en commentaire.

I posted earlier about wanting an new MBP and asked if I should wait. It was easier than explaining
this but I need your opinions.
A week ago I bought the 17 inch MBP from Amazon based heavily on the user reviews. I didn't find
out until after I received and used the computer that it didn't have the DDR3 RAM, 1GHz front-side
bus or the new Nvidia graphics 9400 and 9600 in it. :( The three reviews on the 17 inch MBPs page
said it did have all of these new features.
So now I am stuck. Amazon's return policy states that open computers will incurr a 15% restocking
fee. I have talked to them repeatedly about returning the computer for a full refund because the
information on their webpage was wrong. I keep getting the run around from them. I am pretty sure I
can get a full refund from them it'll just take a little more time.
My question is: Is it worth returning this computer and waiting to get the new 17 inch
model? Will it be that much improved do you think? I look at benchmarks
between this and the new 2.53 15 inch MBP and there doesn't seem to be that much difference. I do
like the new aluminum block construction and higher specs always sound good. I am a heavy Photoshop
user so the better video card may be a plus for me. What do you think?

page="2""We're in a position where the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) will become ubiquitous
again," said Weaver, who is executive vice president at media company Veriana Networks. The Java
update solves deployment problems and makes running a JavaFX or Java application easier, he
said./pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"JavaFX, he said, offers a declarative syntax for expressing a
UI. It boasts 2D and graphical application benefits, he said. "The look that you'll be able to
create and that users are expecting now [is] more like an iPhone," Weaver said. Users will be
weaned away from underwhelming browser-based applications and gain graphically fluid and stunning
applications with JavaFX, he said./pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"JavaFX's close link to the Java
platform will appeal to large numbers of Java developers, said Jeffrey Hammond, senior analyst for
application development at Forrester Research. Inclusion of media codecs makes JavaFX a good option
compared to AJAX, he said./pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"But JavaFX does require that Java SE 6
u10 be installed on the client machine and is limited to a few platforms, he said. JavaFX, however,
could compete with Flash, Silverlight, and AJAX if Sun executes well./pp class="ArticleBody"
page="2""To paraphrase Churchill, we?re not at the beginning of the end of the evolution of the RIA
market, but we are at the end of the beginning. It?s not too late for Sun, but the next year will
be decisive," Hammond said. "If they can get good mobile platform support over the next year,
continue to enrich the control model, and get good penetration of the new JVM, JavaFX could become
a viable alternative to Flash, Silverlight and AJAX."/pp class="ArticleBody" page="2"Sun is
providing API documents for JavaFX along with more than 50 code samples applications for designers

Introducing "Simple"
Hey everyone, TouchPwn here.
I have been working a lot lately on this theme. I named it "Simple" because I felt like it. It was
actually hard to make, and I'm glad that it turned out so nicely. Please feel free to give your
opinion. Tell me what you think, what I could improve on my next theme, etc.
Below is a preview of the theme.
Note, this is my first theme and I am extremely new to image editing programs. I used GIMP for this
theme, but as my skill level increases I will more than likely switch to Photoshop.
The .zip file is attatched below. Feel free to use it, change it up, and tell a friend or enemy
about it.
On a few of the icons, I used glyphs from the following link: http://macthemes2.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16785605
They were very helpful, but most of them weren't any good for my theme. I used a few, and I
recommend you check them out.
I will add this theme to a SOURCE soon! Check for updates on this thread for the link in the
future. Once the link is posted, go check it out in Cydia!
For now, just use the attatchment below and simply SSH into your iPod with your favorite SSH
program. I'm not going to give you a guide on how to do that because most of you should. If you
don't know how, search above for ssh guide or something.
Thanks, and remember to tell me what you think.

proud to say I am completed.! So may I present to you ladies and gentlemen, Speakers:

Hi,
This is my first post in this forum so please go easy on me. I’m currently thinking to buy a
new mac and I’m debating between a MacBook or a MacBook Pro and of course I’m thinking
to go with the MacBook just because the price.
I would like to know what are the things I will be limited to if I go with MacBook?. What are the
things I won't be able to do?
I’m planning on running Photoshop, Flash, Fireworks CS4 etc… on
it.
I appreciate any comments.
Thanks
Fstigre
