Hi,
I bought the Photosmart Plus yesterday at the local Best Buy equivalent because, well, the paperless office doesn't work if people demand papers.

It worked perfectly fine except for the Right-Arrow touch button. I called HP and explained the situation, they told me that I could RMA it, and if the technician decides that it needs to be replaced, I'd get a refurbished unit. Sounded like a pretty bad deal, so I decided to get it replaced at the store, which they did without any problems. The second printer gave me problems as soon as I started it up, the tooth wheels inside sounded like skipping and the printer made weird noises while printing the ePrint test page. The Right-Arrow-Key worked even less. I replaced that one, too. Now I got one exemplar which doesn't make weird noises, the Right-Arrow kind of works (by now I assume a faulty design as all other keys are working fine and this one doesn't on all three printers).
Well, but guess what:
http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/2456/photogdx.jpg
The lid is cracked. I'm tired of replacing this thing. I'm now going to get the forth printer, with the knowledge that the Right-Arrow key most probably won't properly work, and that I'm lucky if it's not cracked nor broken.
I'd be fine with just getting the lid replaced, but I doubt that HP will do that.
Is this just bad karma, or is this part of the HP PhotoSmart Plus feature list?

The Apple Store in the Westchester Mall is FULL of iPhone 3Gs. I was there today around 5, there is no line, and behind the counter are just boxes of iPhone 3Gs, everywhere. I would guess around 40 or so visible, from just one counter. In the back, in the other side, or another counter they may be even more. People were buying them nonchalantly as if they were available for months.
Unless I havent heard something about the lines, if you are in New York City or anywhere on the Metro North Harlem Line, take the train to North White Plains and you can get an iPhone 3G easily.

Valley Fair opened at 6am. The line isn't too bad. The line is flying.
KRON4 is reporting that the SF store is opening in a few minutes. I wonder why they let us in early. I'm assuming mall locations are opening early to get the crowd in control.

My only prior Apple experience was in grade school with the ][e (those were the days :p ), gotta love that green text and The Oregon Trail was one of the best computer games ever. I used DOS at home(ok, I didnt "use" it I just cd to a game directory) and then Windows when it became decent(95). I switched to Linux on my x86 box and only used Windows for certain games. Never much liked Windows, nothing exciting. I love Linux though and the whole unix philosophy.
I needed a laptop recently and decided to go with a Powerbook 1ghz for the form factor, design, and to give OSX a whirl, I always admired OSX since it was first shown to the public and the fact that its unix-like was the nail in the x86 coffin for laptop choice.
Needless to say my experience has been positive, from unpacking the box to firing up the OS. It gives me the best of Linux(unix stuff) and the best of Windows(games, office, photochop, audio applications).
Ive used everything under the sun and I must say that OSX is the best looking desktop environment by far and the graphics acceleration is icing on the cake.
The only negative has been lack of configurability, Linux absolutely rules here. Still though I guess that can be a plus too as it keeps things simple and clean.
On a scale of 1-10 I give my Mac a 9.9 :)

Does it have to be 1333mhz? what if it's 1600mhz DDR3 memory like this one .. also does it mean higher the mhz the faster the ram?
http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/hyperx_us/partsinfo.asp?root=&ktcpartno=KHX1600C9S3P1K2/8G
Yes the number is the speed but it will fall back to 1333mhz, if you are buying Kingston ram, I would buy this KTA-MB1333/4G two of these will give 8gb with the 4 already installed you'll have 12gb. the hyper X will do nothing for you but cost more.

I'm not really sure how to set up the subnets as you say but if it is the subnet mask valu you are talking about then those values are the same on the Powerbook and the iMac.
Anything else it could be, it is strange for it to work once then not work after that.

If you see a skinny, hip 20-something guy in jeans and a hooded sweat there with dark hair, you're likely looking at an imac advertisement.
On the other hand, if you see a completely bald 375 pound guy who looks like he has NOTHING to do with the typical Apple demographic -- then you've likely spotted me.

In your navigation controller window, stick in a button to call this:
SecondLevelController *nextController = [[SecondLevelController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:nextController animated:YES];
[nextController release];
This is all relative to the navigation controller so it doesn't matter where it is defined.

If it is a short series of clicks (a 'tick, tick, tick' sound) this is fairly common. The click sound is caused by the drive parking its head. There are multiple causes for this, including power management and shock detection. If it is harmless, it will tend to happen when the HDD is idle.
If it is a louder knocking sound... You are more likely to have a problem.
Whichever the case, don't be complacent.... Download a copy of 'SMART reporter' (it's free) which will warn you of impending HDD failure in many cases. Also make sure that you keep everything backed up.
I might also be worth considering replacing your HDD as others have suggested, just to be safe.

Those sound massive. Maybe they're from MacWorld (Powerbook G4) or WWDC (Powermac) expos or something. I have only been to an Apple store 3x, but I can't imagine them using anything that big. Thats why I would guess expo banners instead. Sound like a cool way to wallpaper the garage!

I purchased the peachpit press books intending to do the Apple Certified System Administrator (ACSA 10.6) exams but havent had time to do so until now. From what iv'e read about discontinuing of xserve and apple looking to move away from this area is it really worth my time and money doing this certification anymore? I want some apple certification to my name. Im wondering if I should just do the Apple Certified Support Professional (ACSP) 10.6. its only one exam as opposed to four. Any advice would be appreciated thanks
Servers will STILL exist in the form of Mac Pro Server & Mac Mini Server on the hardware front, while Lion will also have a server. There are MANY OS X SL servers currently in use and will require on-going support before an unplanned indecisive progression to just quickly upgrade to Lion Server - I can think of a few in-house apps for some organizations that would slow the upgrade process.
still worth it to continue reading & studying. I will begin myself next week for the same book/course.

Hey everyone,
I had a question for ya'll. My sister's 14 inch iBook's hard drive is about to die (the clicking sound) and instead of replacing the hard drive, she is thinking about just selling the iBook and purchasing a new MacBook or MacBook Pro. My question is how much would the iBook be worth today? Here are the specs.
14 inch 1.33 GHz iBook (purchased late 2005 I believe)
768MB RAM
80GB hard drive
Superdrive
(dying hard drive I believe)
Thanks everyone!
EDIT: She does have all of the installation discs and Tiger as well as the box (told her to keep it).

iOS 4.3.3 is better than 4.3.2 for me in regards to battery life. I've even re-JB my iP4, and the battery life has remained pretty decent so far...
Thanks for the report. I've been having amazing battery life after upgrading from 4.2.1 to 4.3.2 and setting up as a new phone. Since I'm jailbroken and very happy with it, though, I suppose I'll keep with this and continue seeing how others are reporting iOS 4.3.3 battery performance.

You could also try WireTap... I believe it takes the output from the sound card (real audio streaming music) and records it as MP3.
wiretap (at least the version i have) records in aiff, so you have to convert to mp3 after you've recorded something.

So I am a stickler when it comes to each of my songs having the correct album cover, as that is how I change songs quickly when listening on my iPhone.
Recently, I added a new batch of about 15 songs, with album cover and all, to my iPhone 4. The album artwork appears in my iTunes, and in the iPod "app" on the iPhone. However, in the past, when I locked my phone as music was playing, the background of the lock screen would be the album cover.
This was so for all but the 15 new songs.
So as an attempted solution I removed all music from my iPhone, then readded it.
Now none on my album covers show on the lock screen! Even the ones that used to! :confused:
All assistance is appreciated to fix this saddening problem.

Does this come with any software CDs as per Marketplace rules?
What accessories(if any) comes with this? (ie battery(condition?), ac adapter...)
Original box or manuals included?
What size HDD?
Overall condition of case and LCD, any stuck dead pixels?

I usually transcode my footage from Sony NX5U to ProRes in Final Cut Pro. I shoot 1080/30p and transcode to the same ProRes equivalent.
I have a friend I shot footage for and he asked me to give it to him in Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC). When I went to select the 'output' in Final Cut Pro, the only choices for AIC were:
