I have a 120GB OWC SSD and everything is working great. And FYI, SSD stand for Solid State Drive, no need to say solid state drive drive ;)

Thanks for the replies! I just found it odd for their to be ads in the background like that, which are only visible for a micro-second. I would also never pirate an iOS app and was simply curious if those ads went away after purchasing as they were kind of annoying.

I just called the post office and they said ~$8 to 10 US to ship it First Class international, so you can sortof figure that into the price.
[below does not imply anything about fpar above, I thought I'd just be upfront about this since international shipping is being discussed]
Also, for any international lurkers in the thread, I'm not interested in marking the item in a way to dodge customs--you'll have to work that out yourself. I don't know if that applies for First Class International, but I thought I should just say that outright.

What's your point? The legality of jb has already been established.
To sue someone, you have to know who they are so you can serve them. What's Apple going to do, sue comex? chpwn? Apple doesn't know who they are. Sony knew who geohot was because he's an attention whore.
His point is that it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, or what is or isn't legal. What matters is who can maintain a long strung-out legal battle (Sony) and who can't (the average person).
I expect George hasn't made efforts to hide his identity for two reasons:
1) He's not doing anything illegal, so why should he have to hide
2) "Hiding" is largely futile anyway. I expect the FBI probably already know who comex and chpwn are.
Possibly a 3rd and 4th reason:
3) He likes to take a stand for things that he believes in. That's hard to do if you're anonymous
4) He's an attention whore

Definitely simplify it, too many concepts competing for attention.
Try designing around one main concept, use fewer fonts and font sizes.
Do not clutter it up with all the leaves and doodads... it just makes it look too busy and therefore unappealing.
Simple simple simple, especially as you are just starting out. Clarify your most important concept, sketch it out with a pencil, rework it until it feels right. Also look on the net at ads that appeal to you, what did they do that works for you, how can you incorporate those layout/concept ideas into your own work to make it better? Take all that and your sketches work them together and then make it digital and come back to us, I'll bet dollars to donuts it'll be a lot nicer and more coherent and cohesive, just keep at it:).
BTW, the leaves make me think I can recycle my compost/tree leaves there as well, if this is for electronics, I think you can leave them out (no pun intended)

say its 1 to 2k, and the output is for vimeo HD, or a 135" PJ, via iMovie or FCE, what would you kindly recommend?
Well that would be a huge list. For what you need you can a decent Canon cheapy. Now some folks are buying DSLRs that can do HD. Just a lot more work on the process from shooting to finishing/output.

Like someone else said, it's likely that it'll only be exclusive's that show a major difference - and in that case, it comes down to not so much what power is there, as to how it's used. Take two exclusive's to the 360 for example. Dead or Alive 4 - goregous graphics, very high detail and not much on screen at once. Dead Rising - realistically prev gen graphics, but done en-mass, using the consoles capabilities to produce hoards and hoards of zombies.
I think that makes sense anyway.

You will be fine with the D90 for many years. I personally wouldn't think of a camera/lens as an "investment" as it will not increase in price like a nice painting.
My personal choice in kit lenses would be 18-70mm and 70-300mm.

uh ok, it's a grey page with a blue box and an cold play video :rolleyes:
Sorry man I'm not very impressed, it's clean and simple yes, but the darkish coloured text on the blue box doesn't really have alot of contrast, sure you can read it but it certanly doesn't jump out at you. Plus I've never been a big fan of super minimalist design, add some gradiants!
The text colour needs to be adjusted a bit but here's the direction I'd take it.
hmm..well the colours i've used are taken from coldplay's own artwork. i'm glad it doesn't attract attention..that'd distract people from seeing the video.
anyway, i simply wanted an alternative page to direct specific ad runs to as opposed to a blog posting. and while you may not find a coldplay ad interesting - 22,000 other people did. :)
but thanks for the advice.
note: attached is how it looks (in case i pull the page, this thread would be useless)

But then apple doesn't really seem to care about its non-US customers very much. for all their support for standards, apple does have some really odd exceptions. if you are familiar enough with how it should be, you mught be well-served by a piece of software that remaps the keyboard layout key by key... but i don't see one. i guess grin and bear it is the best advice :D

I've been a Mac user for a year, and yet a quick flip through the "dummies" Panther books at the local bookstore taught me quite a few things I didn't yet know.
So, I'd like a book written about Tiger as I plan to purchase the update.
Is there a "best of the best" of these types of books? For example, are the books written by David Pogue considered to be the best typically and his upcoming Tiger book would be a good choice?
Just give me some options.

Your best bet is to buy a new MBP, that may sound simple but since you have a variety of different issues, I don't think you will benefit from the repair costs for each specific issue. On top of this, since its warranty has expired, you will need to pay for all repair costs, including hardware, parts and even delivery fees.
Just get a quote from Apple to see how much they will charge you for the repair (obviously this means the laptop will have to be sent to Apple repair warehouse - they don't carry hardware changes in-store). If you see that it will cost a heck-load of cash, it's best to buy a new MBP, or even a 13" Air.

I'd love to have real filesystem access as well as VLC on my iPad, but when i think about JBing, all that comes to mind is people bricking their iPhones.
It sounds like JBing an iPad is fairly safe as long as you're careful about what apps you use and about installing updates. For the most part, can you eventually install most iOS updates without much risk (if you take the right steps)?
Honestly, what are the biggest risks of JBing an iPad? As much as I want the benefits, I can't afford a new one if I were to do anything irreversible to this one.
