If the new mini gets sandy bridge it will be 50 percent faster then your machine at a minimum, more like 80 or 90 percent faster.
I was thinking of waiting then I looked at Apple's website and for what I use the Mini for, they have a 2010 Refurb with a 2.4 and 2 GB Ram for $599 witha new 1-year warranty. I am not a big fan of the intel integrated GPU and I am not sure they will offer anything more than an i3 and i5 so for this price, I am going for one. I have a 4GB Ram kit to toss in, and I have a great HDD and monitor, as well as external storage, so if I can not play COD on high res, I will just tune it down, I use it mostly as a media server anyway.
Thanks for everyone's input though.

From the few benchmarks I've seen so far, the 2011 iMacs seem to be much more "even" in terms of raw CPU performance (which is what matters here) than the last generation. Not surprising, since last year we had dual-cores mixed up with quad-cores, and not only that -- i3's mixed up with i5's. This time, it's all i5 quads. From the bottom and up. :) (not counting the BTO options here)
I have a feeling that the less expensive iMacs have the most to gain on this move. It's quite a step up to go from dual i3 to quad i5 with the Sandy Bridge architecture, even if they keep a moderate clock speed.

This is going to be great. Everyone will love it. You know why? I love it. And I hate everything at first. :D
I think it would be a good time to say that maybe this thread isn't the best place for everyone to go nuts complaining about every little qualm they have, ie. the rollovers should be darker, or something silly like that.
Best of luck with the redesign.

Hence my giving him/her other options, like Visual Hub, Handbrake and Toast...
I have Toast Titanium 11, and while it DOES get the job done, it makes the video look pretty muddy and in general terrible.

Someone in a nearby lab threw out their Power Mac 7200/90 because they were tired of it. Apparently it runs, don't know what OS is on it, I'll fire it up and check it out next week, but if anyone's in the Montreal area and you're interested in it, it's all yours. I'll keep it for a couple of weeks, then I'll be the one trashing it.

You will have no problems then. Just swap the HDDs and you'll be good to go. You can take the memory too if you have a 1gb stick in the 12" if the 15" isn't already upraded to 2gb.
Just a word of caution, removing the hard drives from the 12" PB can be a PITA. It's cake on the 15".

I use the Windows Home Server provided backup agent (set and forget) to back up my W7 installs to the NAS. Acronis True Image Home 2010 is what I use for imaging and disaster recovery.
If you are on W7, the built in backup and imaging tools are supposed to be pretty decent, for once.

Thanks for the heads up. in the past, I've been disappointed with the built-in backup software.
Slightly off topic, How's windows home server. I'm running a single windows 7 box, though my wife uses an XP machine that needs backup capability as well. Would you think going to WHS be worthwhile? I use windows for work accessing servers on the corporate network and also running quickbooks.

I searched and didn't see any thread for Northridge yet. Is anyone planning to be there on launch day?
I'm thinking I'm going to go to either this one or sherman oaks, that is if they know they're going to have white iphones. Anyone have any experience lining up at this store?

Apple will probably update iPods with a slight tweak to their DRM, breaking any music people have downloaded from anyone other than Apple.

and where do you get that info?
The iPhone 3Gs has an ARM type 7 CPU. It is the first iDevice to have one, with the iPod Touch 2G being the last type 6. Apple no longer includes the type 6 instruction set. Similar to how Snow Leopard no longer works on PPC Macs. The iPhone 3Gs was also the first iDevice to have the PowerVR SGX535 GPU. The iPod Touch 2G was the last to have the PowerVR MBX Lite 3D. The driver kext is no longer in the firmware and its doubtful that the 4.2.1 one would work.
Furthermore, Apple doesn't sign the soft SHSH for 4.3 and none of the jailbreaking tools out support it. So unless the OP wrote his own method for jailbreaking 4.3 and getting around the soft SHSH, he has just faked his firmware and build number.
Wooooohooooohoooo go boy!! :D

I called them twice today, they said they aren't getting any and already got their shipment for the day.
So that means people are standing in line for nothing?
I just went there and they told me the same thing. There was no line.

I was going to wait at the Apple Store that day, but thought that by the time I got there the line would be too long and they would run out, so I went to an AT&T store close by to get the iPhone. I did run by the Apple Store around 10pm that same evening and found out that they had more than enough phones to go around.
I heard the line was insanely long that day, but was managed well and it didn't take long to get all those people in and out of the store with their new toy...I'm sure next Friday will be the same way depending on how many people are going to buy a new Mac the same day as well.
It's going to be interesting. :)

Some order forms insist on an email account that is specifically not Yahoo, or Hotmail. I can guess the reasons, but only guess.
I'll check on Anonymous.to MrMacman.
Thanks guys.

In the US, about the only competitor for unlocked iPhones was T-Mobile; it seems that AT&T has closed that option...:eek:
It ll probably take at least one year for the merger to complete. Until then, we ll still see people wanting unlocked iPhones :)

Thanks but how do i do that without loosing that wonderful UI of mac? Even more so without inviting viruses, Trojans and the like.
Theres really no way to do it on OSX if they are windows programs. As long as you use a bit of common sense, you shouldn't have a problem with Windows on the Mac. Any virus, trojan, or malware will only affect the Windows partition, not OSX. If all you are doing is installing Android stuff on the Windows partition, you should be okay.

Anyone got any thoughts/predictions on when the new ACDs will come?

Mona Lisa is a good one too.
has there ever been an MC with that style? I mean you want to talk about unique, Slick the ruler is it.
he's british, and he spent a lot of his life in jail after shooting his girlfriend in the eye...and he has more gold in his teeth than anyone.
But that style...what a flow. have you heard the track he did with Outkast?
it is so good. That is what hip hop is to me. Great flow, lyrically unique and challenging, and a whole lot of humor.
He is my all time favorite. I was listening to "treat her like a prostitute" when I was like 12...maybe that's why I ended up like I did... :eek:
"he opened it up with his bare two thumbs and seen crabs with spears and indian drums!"

if apple won't fix my semi broken iphone, I'll be putting it up for like $300. Everything on the phone works fine, except I dropped it, and the volume button is somewhat stuck(you can unstick it, but it goes back...it doesn't have its "click" so it stays down) and the volume is almost always constantly being turned up, and the silence switch is really hard to push back and fourth.
