Thanks. Could the new 6Gs be utilized in the current Mac Pro? I thought they only played well with the new 2011 MBPs...
I prefer going with one SSD and have the rest HDD for now since I have a budget.
Anyone else like to chime in?
Yes, 6G isn't used in 2010 MP (unless you insert a separate Controller), only in 2011 MBP. So you can buy 3G SSD as well. I would use 1 SSD for system and programs, one SSD (optional) as scratch (or a partition in the outer area(!) of one or more HDDs) and 3 or 4 HDDs as storage in RAID 5 or 0. And a big external storage for TM.

Hello,
I have a PDF that I genereated using Adobe Acrobat Professional which have textboxes to get information and submit button to post data to database. It runs on a webserver and works great on windows and ie, netscape and etc..., when the page is loaded browser loads the pdfviewer shows file as expected but functionality is not there. Submit button on IPAD's PDF viewer does not show up at all as the main problem.
Anyone have a solution to this, will be great if the web app works on IPAD.
Thanks
You're dependent on the iPad's ability to process PDF forms - which is very poor, as you've discovered. Some standalone apps have this functionality (e.g. PDF Expert) but that doesn't help you with respect to your web app. I assume you are using Mobile Safari - possibly you might have more luck with one of the third party browsers like iCab or Atomic but to be honest I think they handle PDFs the same as Safari does.
Personally I would drop the PDF forms from the mobile version of your web app and just use normal HTML forms with PHP to handle the database submissions.

When I type in Safari or Atomic or even click links there is about a 1 second delay, which is huge. Is this happening to anyone else? It started a few weeks ago and the update didn't help.

No idea, sorry. :(:o
It's ok. It's just I got this bluetooth gps receiver really cheap on Ebay, and I would love to be able to use the geocaching application on the ipod touch. I don't know if I want to go through with jailbreaking the ipod, because of the stability issues this poses. But jailbreaking would allow me to connect this receiver and use any app that uses gps. I wish apple would allow this functionality!

I read about some new F@H developments this morning on slashdot.
PS3 (http://folding.stanford.edu/news.html)
"...we will likely be able to attain performance on the 100 gigaflop scale per computer. With about 10,000 such machines, we would be able to achieve performance on the petaflop scale." screenshot (http://folding.stanford.edu/abeta-PS3.jpg) video (http://folding.stanford.edu/abeta_2spu_test02.avi)
ATI GPU (http://folding.stanford.edu/FAQ-ATI.html)
"We are beta testing the ATI GPU client software internally at the moment and will likely announce an open beta in four to five weeks (end of September)."
"Which GPUs will be supported? We have not made any final decisions on this issue. However, our software will likely require the very latest GPUs from ATI (especially now that the newest ATI GPUs support 32 bit floating point operations). Previous work of ours used NVIDIA GPUs as well, but we have now concentrated on ATI GPU's as they allow for significant performance increases for FAH over NVIDIA's GPU's (at least at the current generation). Our GPU cluster has 25 1900XT's and 25 1900 XTX's. We find a considerable performance increase of 1900XT's even over 1800XT's, due to the architectural differences between the R580 and R520 GPU's. Our code will run on R520's, but considerably more slowly than R580. We're very much looking forward to trying out R600's."
Intel on Mac (http://forum.folding-community.org/viewtopic.php?t=14182&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=75)
"Coming soon.... 2-3 weeks...
(typed from the intel mac devel box)
p.s. the v6 client won't be as elaborate as planned, but it will be universal. v7 will have all the goodies."

There is a tutorial around the web for doing this with Adobe Flex for free. Though all of these rely on Flash so no SEO at all.
Next up is have a look for jQuery page flipper, i've seen a few effects built ether in the canvas or with jQuery and these are much more SEO friendly and also free if your willing to put in the work to follow the tutorials and documentation.

I'd like to get a mac mini server to use as a DVR etc. and then put regular mac mini's in each room in the house. I would also use my airport extreme which I already have.
The goal would be to have everything stored on either the server or the airport, and allow me to push any recorded program to any mac mini in the house for viewing. Is this possible with just the purchase of the mini server and a few minis (With my already purchased airport), or would I need other hardware to make it work too?

Powerbook Review
I�ve owned my new Powerbook 15� for around 3 months now, I think it�s a little short of that but no need to be precise. I will be breaking the traditions of a standard review by putting my negative views first, thus anyone reading the review will finish on a good note.
And finally, Enjoy.
Negative Views
Fortunately my Powerbook has given me very little quibbles and has generally gave a very good impression, first of all the usual complaint, it gets a little too hot for comfort and by that I mean the comfort of my legs, work these things hard and they get really hot! Moving on from that which I consider very insignificant, the standard RAM of 256mb was a little less than I would have liked to see for the price and as we all know buying memory from Apple is hard on the credit cards but a simple purchase from Crucial managed to get me a nice 1GB. Lastly on negative points, the price, I think it could be a little bit lower for what your getting its difficult to justify the price but I�m not complaining!
The Packaging
In usual Apple fashion the packaging is impressive, the box was sturdy on the long traipse home and it has a little handle although I didn�t take the risk and use it. On opening it is clear that this has been design well and everything is neatly arranged for convenience and protection. I must note that it comes with a polystyrene keyboard cover; I think this is worth keeping for future use.
The Powerbook
Now we�re onto the good stuff, too be a little more exact on my specs I bought it on 80GB 5200 rpm hard drive, 256mb RAM, and it�s the 1.33Ghz model, unfortunately I opted out of having a backlit keyboard. After a few days I decided it needed more memory for what I wanted to do with it so I purchased two 512mb sticks from Crucial.
The main use for my Powerbook is graphics and print, so I use the standard programs, InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator, usually all running at the same time, the Powerbook performs very well and isn�t sluggish at all although the rendering of large InDesign documents can be a little slow. Along with those programs iChat and Adium are always running and I have never experienced a problem with any of them.
Boot up times are quick, and just for the record it is yet to Kernel panic on me and I have never had to force quit and application, but the Finder has crashed a few times but this seems to be a problem with Illustrator saving into an open folder.
I know a few issues that I wanted covered when I was looking to purchase so I�m going to try and cover them now, firstly the battery, I personally believe that the battery in my Powerbook is very good and with Airport on, brightness full, Bluetooth off and running iChat, iTunes, Safari and Adium I can easily get 3.5 hours out of it and even run over the 4 hour mark. Things that are a little more processor intensive can severely knock the battery life but it has never been an inconvenience to me and I do travel around a lot and use my Powerbook.
Wireless signal, I use my wireless connection almost all the time and on a second note at home my wireless base station is an Airport Express, I heard rumour that the signal in the PowerBooks was quite poor but I find it to be the exact opposite, it is absolutely excellent and through several walls I can easily have full or close to full signal from my Airport Express.
Other little niggles, I read about it being a G4 processor, I purchased my Powerbook being confident that a G5 Powerbook is a long way off and any revision would be in January 2005 and that didn�t bother me, I also know that Tiger will run well on my system.
In terms of size and weight I cannot commend Apple enough on this one, it is truly amazing how thin my 15� Powerbook is and the screen size is perfect although I will be purchasing an external monitor to help with those large graphics and more important work colour wise.
Conclusion
This was easily the best computer I have ever owned and certainly best Mac, if you are a design, musician or general computer use I highly recommend this too you, it performs well and with enough RAM can churn through almost anything you throw at it.
Well I�ve finished this review in record time and its quite late so I�m sure I�ve missed a large amount of stuff out, if you are looking to purchase I hope this review has been helpful if you need to know anything else I will happily add to the review, send me a note or mail me at abrooks@spymac.com. Finally thank you very much and good day to you all.

Buy now. AE does not have a regular update cycle. USB 3 or TB are unlikely to be added anytime soon since the CPU inside the AE cannot even keep pace with USB 2. Not even close.

That was just one build of 10.4.9, there can be a number of builds seeded to developers before the final version is released. It's probably coming soon but there's no guarantee, it'll come out when it's ready.

Drove by Westworld at 8pm and they were closed, Simply Computing had OPEN sign displayed but don't think there's many people shopping there. Those two stores are simply a case of Dumb and Dumber. Vancouver needs an Apple store or at the very least a better reseller. I'd rather give my money to Best Buy or even Future Shop.
