I'll tell you what I've told everybody, this is not an AT&T problem. I have the Atrix and I have NEVER dropped a call in Saint Louis. My wife's Samsung Focus never has dropped a call in six months either. My friend has the iPhone 4 and another has the 3GS in Saint Louis and they CONSTANTLY cannot connect Call Failed or drop calls.
It's the iPhone man.
/rant
Oh don't tell them their perfect company doesn't make the perfect phone... they so want it to be AT&T's fault and not Apple's.
I remember when I first got my iphone (I'd been on AT&T/Cingular for years before that) I did notice a tendency to notice voicemails that appeared hours later than when they were given and the phone hadn't rang on me. And I know I ran into at least a customer at my store who had the same issue (we had called her to tell her her dog was ready and she hadn't recieved it... and then the voicemail popped up while she was in the store). I will admit that did improve so maybe Cingular was having issues getting voicemail to work with that particular phone at first (or maybe Apple's update to the iOS fixed it. I know the iOS it came with was very unstable, least for Safari and iOS 2.0 fixed stability issues)? But it definitely was something I had a problem with that phone that I didn't with others on the same provider.
I also noticed that it didn't have as good reception out on the water (when we fished) than other cellphones I've had on AT&T so you do have to be closer to signal with it (least with the 3G, I haven't had a chance to compare with the 4).
(disclaimer, I love my iphone but I'm pretty sure any issues is with the iphone and not with AT&T).
And I'll tell you what I've told everybody else. I had verizon for years. No dropped calls and signal in locations other carriers had none. I got the iphone in November on ATT. Weaker signal. Not only my phone, but in my office, my home and family's homes, non-iphones on ATT have worse signal.
If you are in the heart of a city and not in a particular building, then ATT is just fine. But go to certain areas in rural america and Verizon is much better.
So for my experience ATT is the problem.
Your experience doesn't amount to a hill of beans for proof. You did not have the same phone on Verizon to compare that it worked fine on Verizon so you can't say the phone would work fine on Verizon using your experience. And then you went on the iphone when you went on AT&T but it was the only phone you've used on AT&T so you don't know if that experience is consistant with different phones... so where is the proof that it was AT&T and not the iphone? You don't know because you had both a different phone and provider when you switched to AT&T so the problem could be with either.
Get back to us when you have the iphone on Verizon or at least have had another phone on AT&T (to see if you have the same problem with a different phone on AT&T).
It's the iPhone man.

I'm picking up an original iPad for $250 and it's currently on 3.2.2. I want to update it to 4.2.1 and jailbreak it using Greenpois0n. Any advice on the right way to go about doing this? As far as I know, it's never been jailbroken up to this point.
Apple is no longer signing 4.2.1 so without having the SHSH blobs saved your only option will be to install 4.3 and do a tethered jailbreak.

I have the same problem! just took my G5 to the apple store and they tried alot of things... booted from an external by holding option... checked the drives, which were supposedly fine according to Disk Utility.
I figured it would either be ram going bad or the drives. so I've switched out the drive and all the ram, and tried to run it off of a friend's drive, but I get a (no smoking logo without the cigarette) in place of the :apple: when booting . I'm guessing it is because the OS installed on the hardrive is 10.6 and thus not supported by the PPC G5.
Now I'm waiting for the disks to get here to troubleshoot with those.
Any ideas guys??

My girlfriend is Spanish, and we both love movies. We also both prefer movies in their original tongue with subtitles. I've looked in iTunes, and as I suspected, there are no subtitle options when buying a movie.
Is there a way to burn a dvd with subtitles on a MBP. I mean, I know there is, but what's the best way? I have Toast, but don't really know how to use it. Hardcopied subtitles or selectable...it doesn't matter. I'm going to see her next week, and if I have to, I'll just bring some DVDs where I can selected them in the menu, but that seems so...obsolete.
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like the iPhone might actually be real! :eek: :D
...But the motive behind those kind words is still uncertain. Does Robert Dotson know about the iPhone, trying to convince Apple to make it a T-mobile exclusive, or have they already signed the contract, and these kind words towards Apple were more of a "thanks?"

The NX bit in AMD K8 CPUs and Execute Disable bit in Intel CPUs are there to prevent buffer overflow exploits.

Thank you for the link! :)
So it says it's on the Pentium 4 line, and I'm assuming it's on the Pentium M as well? Is it on current Celerons?
Interesting that it is not supported by the latest Win2k. I guess that actually is one of the first relevant reasons to upgrade to XP! :eek: :o

So with WMP gone and now VPC gone, the only MAJOR software developed for Macs by Microsoft is Office?
Let's just hope they don't decide to kill office. Sure, I know there are lots of alternatives out there, but you try telling that to Mr. idiot joe-average boss.
Edit: Looks like I spoke too soon, fortunately:
http://www.macnn.com/articles/06/08/07/universal.office.coming/
Microsoft is not developing Visual Basic in the Univeral Mac Office suite, so some people are already claiming that cross-compatibility is officially dead. Unless someone comes up with a Rosetta-like translator between VB and AppleScript/Automator, I don't see how script-filled Office files will be able to leave a Mac-only or Windows-only environment.

Why doesn't anybody ever mention the superdrive when talking about imac upgrades? An 8X4X24 Cd burner is slow. I've had a 16X10X40 for almost 2 years now in my peecee. Apple needs to upgrade this drive quickly. Just my two cents. ;)

:( Oh well. I suppose the 6G mercury still outperforms it's 3G predecessor even on a SATA2 controller ? You reckon it's worth putting a 6G Mercury on the Areca controller where I assume it should really shine or stick both on the onboard sata2 controller and reduce complexity.
Assuming that disk does what they claim in terms of sustained sequential throughputs (the 3.0Gb/s units didn't, but weren't slouches), it would fare better on the Areca than the ICH.
What you need to pay attention to however, is the random access performance which is what OS and applications rely on (so far, I've not been impressed with that particular bit of performance from 6.0Gb/s SSD's - I've not gone out and looked at all of them, but it's not what I'd have hoped for, which is at least double the previous drives).
This bootcamp disk, I am suppose to burn it using the bootcamp utility or is it included ? This is really my first mac you see, hence all these trivial questions about bootcamp and dual booting.
It's on the system disks, but you can also download it, then burn it to a DVD as well (might be a good idea, just in case there's a newer version).
So bootcamp is just a partitioning and driver preparation/injection? utility.
Yes.
Where as in my case I am using two different SSD's and not sharing one with OSX. Hence bootcamp is of no real purpose to me other than the drivers it has for Win7.
Correct. The only thing on that disk that could be useful, are the Windows drivers (installed by running the setup.exe file on the system disks). If you're not running wireless however, Windows 7 should be able to the latest drivers on it's own (only the wireless drivers seemed to be problematic IIRC, so run it if you're using a wireless keyboard and mouse).
So I can just stick a win7 dvd in and boot off the thing by holding option key and selecting the superdrive to boot from and Windows 7 setup will start ? And once setup finishes I just stick the bootcamp diver cd in and install the drivers or do I have to provide them during Windows 7 setup ?
Yes. Install Windows, then the drivers off of the system disk (setup.exe).

are you using version 1 or version 1.0.1 of cablevision app?
Coleman and others - this temp sync will work and as a side benefit you won't be able to update in itunes :) I tried it few times with my friend and shared app works just fine. Only issue I see is CV closing this hole by disabling older version of software from accessing the network. until that happens your idea will work
Forgot one thing. There is no need to drive or go anywhere. This can be done remotely via teamviewer application. Its free and works fast.

It seems that iPhone users have higher standards.
You don't see national outrage for recent Verizon nation-wide outage. Where's the outrage that Verizon do not support concurrent voice and data on its "3G" network?
As to iPhone, in the suburbs it's great. In city hotspots, the network gets slower from lots of iPhone users and not-in-my-backyard attitude when it comes to network extension. Verizon won't be immune from it.

Can not WAIT for this album...love everything Danger Mouse touches...especially the Beck, Gnarls Barkley and Gorillaz stuff he's worked on...should prove to be a very exciting release...2010 is shaping up to be a better year for music than 09 already! First single on December 21st!
------------------------
Broken Bells, the new collaborative project featuring The Shins� James Mercer and Danger Mouse, will unveil its self-titled debut album on March 9th via Columbia Records. The effort is said to feature 10 �melodically seductive and psychologically provocative songs� co-written and performed by Mercer and Burton, including �The High Road�, which will be released as the first single on December 21st.
In addition to singing and songwriting, Mercer handles guitar and bass, while Danger Mouse plays organ, drums, piano, synths and bass. The pair play all the instruments on the album with the exception of a full string section arranged by Daniele Luppi. Not surprisingly, Danger Mouse also handled production. The album was recorded with Todd Monfalcone and Kennie Takahashi at Mondo Studio in Los Angeles.
For a sample ahead of the single�s release, we suggest you head to Stereogum and find the results of their �amateur detective� work.
Oh and just in case you were wondering how a dude from The Shins hitched up with the dude from Gnarls Barkley, according to the issued press release, �Danger Mouse and Mercer first met face-to-face backstage at the 2004 Roskilde Festival in Copenhagen. The pair immediately hit it off and kept in touch over the prevailing half decade and in May 2008 seized the opportunity to finally collaborate on original music together. Once in the studio, the musical floodgates opened, an intuitive ease and seemingly ego-less telepathy producing an astonishing flow of new material over the course of a year. From more than 20 pieces of new music written and recorded, Broken Bells was assembled from 10 songs that coalesced together the most seamlessly.�

Actually I think that all intel macbooks ( including pro) 's airport card is 802.11g and draft N... the problem is that they cant advertise it, because n is still in draft status at IEEE... so you can't really say hey this is an N... because N doesn't really exist as a satandard ( making a standard is a lenghty process takes about 5 to 6 years for the whole process...) if anyone has a draft n wifi router, please try and check the conection speed on you mactel macbook.. would be good to know if this is just a rumor, or if its really a fact.. i know i read it before buying my blackbook.. but alas.. i dont have a n draft router...
When the Airport Extreme came out it was before G was approved, they later flashed it up to the standard because it was close.
There are many Pre-N routers out there. All you have to say is 'Pre-N' and you're good to go.
