The purpose of a copyright is to protect works of authorship as fixed in a tangible form of expression (i.e. a thing not an idea). The art, photos, writing and design you make fall under this category. It protects people from copying or redistributing your work.
The purpose of a trademark is to protect words, phrases and logos used in federally regulated commerce to identify the source of goods and/or services. It represents an enterprise or a business. It protects your company from other companies trying to look like you. In the case your your logo, it would be used to prevent others from using a confusingly similar mark or name.
It is common for certain types of expression (like a brand) to sit under both copyright and trademark. If you are trying to protect a title, slogan, or other short word phrase, generally you want a trademark as a copyright does not cover such types of expression alone.
If your design is intended to identify the source of goods or services (i.e. a logo), it should be trademarked.
While copyright registration is primarily an administrative process (you fill out a form and send it off), trademark registration is an adversarial process.
It includes a substantive review of potentially conflicting marks in order to prove your uniqueness within a market segment.
For example: say you are doing a trademark search for a local motorcycle tuner/builder called "Redwing Motorcycle Company". During the trademark vetting process you would probably get an argument from Redwing Shoes saying the name/mark is too close to theirs (Redwing does sell a series of Motorcycle boots, so they may have some grounds here even though they are in a very different market). You might also get a call from Honda saying "We are a large motorcycle manufacturer. We have a famous product line called the 'GoldWing'. Our corporate color is Red." You will have to fight it out.
Other companies will be aggressive in protecting themselves. US trademark law works under a "use it or lose it" principle. Read up on how Carol Shelby lost the rights to his famous Cobra car design. So many people copied it (without him going after them) that it was ruled that he no longer owned it.
So, understand that if you do seek a trademark, you need to be willing and able to protect it.
The key thing to understand is that Copyright and Trademarks are proven and protected in very different ways. Copyrights are low-hanging fruit and should absolutely be done. Trademarks are a longer, more expensive process and you want a good Trademark lawyer to guide you through the process.

Thanks for pointing this out. I asked the seller, so I'll just have to wait and see what s/he says. The neck does look strong, though, in my opinion, because it's holding up the screen in the first picture. Maybe the seller just put it down to show what it can do? I don't know.
What does this mean?
The neck if I remember correctly is about a $120.00 - 140.00 part then there's all the labor that goes with changing it out. About 1.5 - 2 hrs. Almost all of them wear out over time. They can stay totally upright and stay there for a picture, but if you bump the table, or start to adjust the height, it will just want to go all the way down. (sometimes crashing down breaking the bezel) So its all the way up, or all the way down when the neck goes bad( usually the latter).
It also looks like the bezel ( the frame around the screen) is not quite attached fully, and may be broken and partially coming off. The gap between the two shows what looks like that. See attached picture
What does Gigabit Eithernet mean?
This may be a bit much here but I'll try to explain. If you're not going to connect to the internet wirelessly, via Airport card you will then be using the Ethernet port and some type of Ethernet cable. Its the big telephone jack looking port on the computer with this symbol above it <•••>
Gigabit Eithernet (1000 Base T) is a computer networking standard that has been around since about 2000 in some Mac models. The iMac line of Mac computers since 2005 have come standard with it. What this means is any computer with this ability can transfer data at a rate of 1000 Mbp/s ( 1000 megabits per second AKA, 1 gigabit a second) over Ethernet. This may not seem important to most people, but you may notice slow streaming video at times and the like when using something slower like 10/100.
The model that you are looking at has 10/100 where a Gigabit port would show as 10/100/1000 so making it simple:
10mbs/100mbs/1000mbit/s
10Mbit/s..............10 megabits per second obsolete
100Mbit/s.............100 megabits per second can use cat5 cables
1000Mbit/s...........1000 megabits per second can use cat5e and cat6
Now that I fed you all of that info, here's what it means to you:

I frown upon WoW as well... I just don't see why it is so fun, its expensive, it requires insane amounts of time, its not competitive, it requires no skill, it messes up Warcraft's story, no no, I just don't like it, plus it takes time away from the developers that could be put to better use, like developing Starcraft 2, Diablo III or even Warcraft IV for instance. Then again, I've never enjoyed a MMORPG.
Right now I'm pretty busy playing F.E.A.R. Extraction Point and Condemned, both games are pretty awesome to play late at night, lights off, alone, headphone and the sound cranked up.
I'm also wasting some free time on Warcraft III (if you don't have WC3 stop reading and go buy it and the expansion) and the Command & Conquer 3 demo. Supreme Commander is a damn fine RTS as is C&C3 which is coming out next week.
Look forward to Shadowrun, Bioshock, Unreal Tournament 3 and Spore later this year.

I can include one Zip 100 disc with jewel case. The drive is a Zip 250 from Iomega, a nice blue plastic like the iMac G3s and in mint condition. I think it has USB and SCSI, not sure though. Make me an offer that includes shipping for the drive and disc.
Not sure if I wanna go through with it it but how does 95USD shipped sound? Also is a zip and an EZ drive the same(sorry im a dumbass)

Hey uknick, firstly welcome to MacRumors ;)
Yeah, I'm going to wait and order mine. I'm not rushing in to it. I'll order mine online also, unless I have good reason to pop in to town and buy the iPad2 from the local Bristol store. I'm still wondering if I really need it or not. Still deciding, but temptation is strong! :rolleyes:

I have not "switched"... I still use both a PC and a Mac now.
The adjustment is simple, and it is easy to maintain files, etc. The main difference, in my opinion, is that Mac OS has a much "thinner" feel to it.
It is a snappier OS, sleeps better and wakes up faster, and is pretty easy to manage.
It is also a bit easier to install and uninstall, though it takes some getting used to.
The two major issues, hands down (despite what Apple fanboys will tell you), is that you will run into apps and hardware that will only work on a PC, and also that the hardware is under powered (both in terms of availability and cost) compared to what you can get on a PC.
Threads like this all over the web, so read up.
FWIW, I really love this little 13" MBP. It is highly portable and for what I do, it is a perfect compliment to my awesome desktop and work laptop PCs.

These two cards are so different in performance that you shouldn't even bother comparing them. This is much more of a question of do you want a very average card (6600) or a very high end card?
That you would even consider a downgrade just because of a little fan noise is amazing to me. Not a good plan my friend.

You are quite mistake, this second preview is near feature complete. It needs some polishing, but for the most part it's nearly ready to be shipped.
The first preview had a lot of major bugs. It may be near feature complete, but I agree that they need to spend time and ensure the IDE is stable before they make a GM.

I have one and it works great. Video files (H.264/MOV) can be used in iTunes and iMovie, and you can Airplay them to your Apple TV 2 with excellent results.
I don't know about the battery life. I don't seem to have to charge it very often.
This could almost replace a "normal" camcorder but for two reasons:
(1) No optical zoom
(2) Poor low-light performance
For me it's a good supplement to my normal camcorder.

Can't say the wait was worth it, knowing how much we knew already from leaks, but...
Did anyone (who subscribed) get an email from MacRumors notifying them the keynote was available online?
I signed up for the spoiler-free keynote link, confirmed my email address (2-3 days ago) and waited around tonight and nothing. Around 7p EST, I had my girlfriend go to the apple site and sure enough... they keynote is online. Even to this hour (10p), i still haven't received an email notification from MacRumors. Of course, I could be the only one...

Nice noob response. :p Anyone who regularly listens to music uses playlists and rotates the music from their computer to their iPods. At any one time, no one is going to listen to their entire 20GB worth of music. They are more likely to use smart playlists and shuffle among them.
coming from someone who listens to music almost constantly, i have to disagree. i have a 20+ GB library and i make playlists based on the entire library. in other words they wouldn't fit on a nano. i like hearing a mix of my favorites along with new stuff.

Actually, it was 1998 (http://www.apple-history.com/?page=gallery&model=imac&performa=off&sort=date&order=ASC)
Even then, one could argue that Apple forfeited the right to all "i-products" when it didn't sue Compaq for the iPaq....
and there is no way they would be allowed to essentially copyright 1 26th of the alphabet.
