I just bought a new monitor (HP LP2475w) for my Macbook. The screen has great quality when my computer isn't plugged in. When I do connect my computer, the screen shows the display, but it has some static and flashes occasionally. If I pull up the onscreen menu, though, the menu itself has great quality, and just the image from my computer around it shows the problem. I think the problem may be with the connection, not with the monitor. I'm using the MiniDisplayPort to DVI adapter, a DVI-D to DVI-I adapter, and then a DVI-I cable to the monitor. I've also used the MiniDisplayPort to DVI adapter, a DVI-D cable, then a DVI-D to DVI-I adapter to the monitor. I've had the same problem both times, and tried it in both DVI-I ports on the monitor. Any suggestions? It wouldn't be my graphics card, would it? I have the new aluminum Macbook.

Well I have the invisible shield on my iPhone and I figured that I would protect my new MacBook Pro aswell. I'm going to keep this thing for at least 5 years so what the heck right? :D First we'll talk about my tips for installation, then you can look at the pictures.

First off, this install is not for the faint of heart or for those that lack patience. I wanted mine to be flawless so it took me 3hrs. Here's what I would recommend:

1. You don't want any dust particles to get underneath the film so here's what I did. Go into your bathroom and turn on a hot shower to steam up the room, this way the moist air will make the dust particles in the air settle. Plus, when you are installing the film, it will make your macbook moist and steamy. This will make it easier just in case you didnt spray the application solution in a certain area.
2. Use TONS of application solution. I know you probably hear this a lot, but it is true. USE more than you think you need. Have a container of hot water aside just in case you need to refill the spray bottle.
3. Take your time to install the shield, start out with the bottom shield and start your way up.... ending with the large display piece last.
4. Have a pin or knife in reach. This is because just in case you get a hair or something underneath the shield, you can get it out without putting fingerprints on the film.
5. Have a BRIGHT light shining on your workplace, this will help you to see air bubbles underneath the film. Dont worry about thin layers of water trapped underneath the film too much, mine evaporated after 12hrs.
6. Actually wait 24hrs to turn back on your macbook. In the case that water got inside your macbook, it will have time to evaporate and your macbook wont get fried.

If you were watching me do the install, you would be freaking out at how much water was seeping down into the ports and stuff. But I waited for any water to dry and now I am typing from it. It's perfect. So don't worry about doing this invisible shield, the water is not a problem.

Here are the pictures at last! :D Remember, I wanted a perfect install so It might look awesome but half of the awesomeness is because of the quality of the work, not the quality of the product. :cool: A lot of people say that the invisible shield is tacky, this is not the case of mine. Also, a lot of people say that the invisible shield has an "orange peel" effect. You be the judge, you can't see it in person. Although my invisible shield screen protector for my iPhone is tacky as hell, and has hella orange peel. But I don't care! Cause its protected! :p I included a picture of the invisible shield for that for comparison. You can go to my photobucket if you want to see the high resolution pictures, its Neil1138. Later guys!





























btw... Personally, I think that the part where the invisible shield goes into the keyboard is a design defect. Cause that part was the hardest and it didnt want to stay down. Also, when i was installing the large top piece, it folded down on itself and i was freaking out. But I finally got it sorted out.

Oh, and the reason i think the iPhone invisible shield is tackier and more orange peely, is because... it costs less so I think ZAGG uses a lower quality film or something. Maybe that's just me but there is a visible difference between my invisible shield on my iphone and my macbook.

So it seems that Apple will be using this new connection method on all upcoming mac's.:mad:

http://www.macrumors.com/2008/11/26/...splays-arrive/

Does this really mean the mac pro as well:confused:

Is this Apples answer to HDCP?
If Apple is to allow blue ray movies. They have to have some form of HDCP.
This would mean no blue ray unless you use one of the new Apple displays.

I was waiting to see what GFX cards. Apple would be releasing with the new mac pros in 2009. To see if any of them would be compatible with the 2008 mac pro as a upgrade card. But now with this custom mini display port. I wouldn't be surprised. If Apple made them only compatible with the new mac pro.

So if I were to upgrade my GFX card to something better than the 8800GT.
It would have to be the technically unsupported ATI HD 3870 .

Ok I have searched all over and I still can't find a solid site to help me with opening ports. My setup is this:
I go to college and internet is included in my apartment
I have a Airport Express
I have a Macbook w/ Leopard 10.5
I've alot of different things but I still can't get my UTorrent to get a green light. Can anybody please do a step by step on how to do it? thanks!!

Hi all, it’s Rusty again from the Santa Monica Studio. We are getting ready to launch Everyday Shooter PSP and we are really thrilled about how it has turned out. Between Jon Mak, Backbone Entertainment and us, we have Jon’s thoughts about how everything went on getting this made. Hope you all like what we’ve done.
_______________________
First things first: the seaweed is gone, but the hashbrowns are still in the freezer.
So Rusty wanted me to write a little blog post about Everyday Shooter for PSP. I don’t really know what to talk about so I guess I’ll start chronological and see where that goes.
I actually tried porting Everyday Shooter to PSP way back around December 20th, 2007, and stopped around December 27th, 2007. Here’s an old video I found from back then:

WHAT!!??!? WHY DIDN’T YOU RELEASE IT!?!?? WHY DID YOU SIT ON IT FOR 239846921487 MONTHS YOU SON OF SO MANY UNMENTIONABLE THINGS!!!!!!!
I thought the same thing until I remembered that it crashed every eight seconds, had a ridiculously low frame rate, was missing graphics and effects, and generally blew.
Yeah, Everyday Shooter PSP really worried me at the time. I was convinced to get the game running properly it needed to be hacked to shreds - reducing the number of enemies, changing all the
backgrounds, changing the enemy graphics - ugh, this is going to SUCK.
So I dropped the idea until Rusty contacted my agent, Warren, and I, saying Sony was interested in putting Everyday Shooter on PSP. Immediately, the floodgates opened to the stress of so many potential problems sweeping my soul to the faraway depths of darkness where it was then beaten repeatedly at three frames per second before crashing…
But Rusty said (paraphrased): “Jon, this is how it’s going to go down. We’re going to hire this developer [Backbone], and I know this guy, he is one of the best programmers I know. And the deal is going to be this: if they even hint at a suggestion of messing with your vision, we are going to fire them and find a new developer. This is going to be a straight port, we are not going to mess with your vision.”
Skeptically, I replied “and the boobies?” To which he answered “no boobies.”
Honestly, I was still skeptical.
I was also told that the original QA team for ES-PS3 was brought in to test the PSP version too, so I’m quite confident that it was left in good hands.
I’m amazed at the job Backbone did:

They actually ported it without altering any of the graphics, effects, or gameplay! How!?? No seriously, how did you do that!? Like, even the backgrounds? I was expecting to have to do this whole back and forth about what graphics needed to be changed and redesigned, what enemies needed to be reduced, gimping the game just for the sake of performance… NO! Not at all! They just somehow made it work. What is this sweet juice of hexadecimal that you drink from and where do I get it?

Then again, I’m not technically a great programmer, so maybe there’s some simple secret I’m not aware of. I generally just multiply things by negative one if they don’t work because in math, to get the opposite of something you just multiply it by negative one. Since the opposite of “doesn’t work” is “it works,” multiplying numbers by negative one should yield a correct result. Unfortunately, when
applying this strategy to Everyday Shooter PSP it still didn’t work.
Thus, and clearly thus, there was no solution.
Of course Backbone proved me wrong.
I think this is a pretty accurate port of the game. I mean, I played it till my hands cramped, jotting down every subtle problem, some bordering on imaginary, but yet still fixed. For example, the first
few builds I played, everything looked great and seemed to be in working order but something was weird. I kept getting beaned by the game! I mean, I couldn’t even get to level 4! Suspecting my own
skill level, I busted out the PS3 version just to make sure and to my surprise, I was still able reach the final stage with just three starting lives. It’s got to be the port.
Okay, so how do you convince someone that this is actually a bug and not because of some lack of skill on my part? I mean, otherwise, the game felt exactly like the PS3 version, so there was no factual information to draw from except for “well, Jon thinks it’s too hard now.” For weeks, I kept thinking they were going to ignore it, and it’ll get released, and the internet will swallow me whole, and then it will hurt a lot.
But amazingly, the bug was found. Apparently (and from what I recall — I might be wrong), it had something to do with timing issues since Everyday Shooter PSP runs at a much lower simulation rate given that the PSP isn’t as powerful as the PS3.
To this day, I’m still not sure if anyone believed me on this, and I’m not even sure if I believed myself (I’m quite positive it was way harder, though), and I totally see that the whole thing just sounded nuts and imaginary, but either way, Backbone was gracious enough to give me the benefit of the doubt and make this change. I know some people who paid a silver dollar only to have their ports birched by shoddy developers, so I’m very grateful for the amount of effort and attention Backbone gave to the project.
Anyway, we tried to make this as accurate as possible. Warren called me a few weeks before the final build asking whether I played the PSP port yet and what I thought of it. I replied, “I don’t know what to say. I mean, it’s basically Everyday Shooter PS3, except it’s running on a PSP.”

In case it looks familiar, these new releases are but scaled down versions of its larger sibling that is able to hold 3.5" drives. The ToughMount anti-shock protection helps absorb shock and reduce noise, offering some sense of peace to butterfingers who tend to bump or even drop their precious hard drive when traveling. Inside, you will find the Oxford-924 chipset that optimizes data transfer speeds using either FireWire or USB 2.0 connectivity. Both models will come with one USB 2.0/eSATA combo port, whereas the FS mini has two more FireWire 400 ports with the XE mini offering a couple of backwards-compatible FireWire 800 ports. You can pick up the former for $80 upwards, while the latter will begin from $120 and go all the way to $365, depending on the hard drive capacity./p pPermalink: a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/12/wiebetech_toughtech_mini_pocket_drives.html"WiebeTech ToughTech Mini Pocket Drives/a from Ubergizmo (a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com"US/a, a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/fr"FR/a) | a href="http://www.uberbargain.com/"Good deals/a | Hot: a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/11/blackberry_storm_review.html"Storm Review/a/p pmap name="google_ad_map_081204092857" area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/081204092857?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28"/ area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23"//map img usemap="#google_ad_map_081204092857" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_imgamp;client=ca-pub-7335032025195922amp;channel=9684588219amp;output=pngamp;cuid=081204092857amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubergizmo.com%2F15%2Farchives%2F2008%2F12%2Fwiebetech_toughtech_mini_pocket_drives.html"//p pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/EaREBI0VASOidl9HXzEPG-1WFQw/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/EaREBI0VASOidl9HXzEPG-1WFQw/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=mvIODLUV"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=9qGRjKcH"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=9qGRjKcH" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=g0okafXW"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?d=52" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=hdSGtn39"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=hdSGtn39" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=11o9GIfc"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=11o9GIfc" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ubergizmo/~4/LlNp6040OE0" height="1" width="1"/

lkcl writes "The GitTorrent Protocol (GTP) is a protocol for collaborative git repository distribution across the Internet. Git promises to be a distributed software management tool, where a repository can be distributed. Yet, the mechanisms used to date to actually 'distribute,' such as ssh, are very much still centralized. GitTorrent makes Git truly distributed. The initial plans are for reducing mirror loading, however the full plans include totally distributed development: no central mirrors whatsoever. PGP signing (an existing feature of git) and other web-of-trust-based mechanisms will take over from protocols on ports (e.g. ssh) as the access control 'clearing house.' The implications of a truly distributed revision control system are truly staggering: unrestricted software freedom. The playing field is leveled in so many ways, as 'The Web Site' no longer becomes the central choke-point of control. Coming just in time for that all-encompassing Free Software revolution hinted at by The Rebellion Against Vista, this article will explain more fully some of the implications that make this quiet and technically brilliant project, GitTorrent, so important to Software Freedom, from both technical and political perspectives."pa href="http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/12/04/1625226amp;from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=08/12/04/1625226"/a/ppa href="http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/12/04/1625226amp;from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/jGuT4-TwLgrhYOcavgDYdnN6zCg/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/jGuT4-TwLgrhYOcavgDYdnN6zCg/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/C1oVbowrLX0" height="1" width="1"/

If you listen to Coby's marketing director, they're a whole new category of computer meant for leaner times. As far as I can tell though, the PoqetMate-7 and PoqetMate-9 emare/em just netbooks, albeit extremely cheap ones. Coby hasn't offered many specs to ponder, but the models, primarily differentiated by screen size (7in and 9in) will run Linux atop a Chinese Longsoon processor. Past that, I wouldn't expect much more than a Wi-Fi adapter and a few ports, bringing the PoqetMate in line with low-end netbooks like the Asus EeePC 701./p pCoby plans to bring these to discount retailers, including traditionally computer-averse stores like Kroger and Rite-Aid, by March, making the PoqetMate-7 the first $100 computer to be widely available in the US.

Hi There

My computer (XP) has all usb 1.1 ports. My husband's computer (vista) has USB2 ports. I cannot update firmware on my Ipod touch without getting the boot screen of death (or whatever it is called, it is usually a nightmare to restore afterward). I can sync and do everything fine through the usb 1.1 ports, just not firmware updates.

So if I need my firmware updated I get him to do it on his machine, and then I am left with a blank ipod touch. This gets annoying as I need to reset all the settings for mail/calender/contacts each time I need to do a firmware update. I don't mind about resyncing the apps, podcasts etc.

Has anyone with this problem installed a usb2 card in their computer, and plugged the ipod touch into that? Did if fix the problem?

I'm just dreading the 2.3 update LOL!!

Thanks

Décliné en deux versions donc, via l’Agora (192$) et l’Agora Pro (256$), toutes deux disponibles en pré commandes. Le tout est fabriqué par Kogan, et affiche des écrans tactiles 2.5″ (résolution 320×240 pixels), la 3G, des claviers QWERTY éclairés, le Bluetooth 2.0, des ports microSD. Quelques différences tout de même à noter pour la version Pro, équipée d’un GPS, d’un capteur 2 megapixels et du WiFi. Ca pourrait être intéressant…
