I'm looking to buy a new MacBook Pro. I know searching on eBay is risky, so I'd like your advice on this seller.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/New-Apple-Macbook-Pro-15-2-0-Quad-8gb-256ssd-Mc721ll-A-/230614412979?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63#ht_952wt_907
The price seems a little too low for a new (I assume never opened) MBP. Do you think some parts were switched out for cheaper replacements? He does have 99% positive reviews, and he's sold MBP before.
Thanks, Hopefully this post does not violate the terms and conditions of these forums.
EDIT: I took a second look and realized that I was looking at a non high res. model. I guess the price seems pretty decent. What do you guys think?

Thanks for the suggestion, but no go. Ah, well. I may just reinstall over the weekend.Actually before you do that, try applying the 10.3.7 Combo update (the one that goes from any version of 10.3.x to 10.3.7) - this can help some oddball situations.

i was in a very similar situation as you, and ended up getting the MBA and very soon i'll be getting the 27 inch imac. personally. it depends on whether you want 1 system or 2. personally, i didn't mind having 2 machines (transferring things between them every day or so), and got both of them. having just the 15 inch mbp and the cinema display limits your gaming performance, and the macbook air is a very capable product. i'd spring for the 128gb, 1.86ghz, 4gb ram mba, and wait till the imacs are refreshed in a month or so. i'll be getting the lowest end 'bigger screened' imac.
nothing compares to 27 inches of screen real estate... ;)

That last rumor I heard about the new DDR 1.25GHz PowerMacs shipping was mid-September...well it's mid-september now, and still no word.
I orderd mine the day they were announced!! I'm sick of waiting!!!
can anyone offer some rumors/speculation on this subject? Has anyone gotten theirs yet?
thanks,

Nermal, you're a hero ! Thanks ! Just when I thought I had given up finding something out there that was capable of .RA-to.MP3 conversions, you came along ! Hijack works a treat. Brilliant ! By the way, I could NEVER be 'that desperate' in buying Virtual PC ! Thanks again :-)

I'm using SimpleViewer's (http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/) code to display Flash galleries on my site.
The catch is, I made a test gallery a few days ago, and some of my friends told me the images were a bit distorted when they viewed them - even though the images looked perfect on my display. They were on Macs and PCs both, on a variety of browsers.
I've uploaded a gallery of a photo shoot I just did with my girlfriend, and again the gallery looks great on my display.
I just wanted to see if a few folks could look at my gallery, and tell me if the images are looking as sharp as they should.
Here (http://mnjordan.com/gallery/shoot1/) is the gallery.
Here is a sample image (http://mnjordan.com/images/misc/farrah179.jpg) to compare the gallery to.
Thanks in advance.

I'm planing on buying my first mac computer. I have used them allot in the past so I know them well. I'm 16 and have been saving for the past year. But I can't choose between the MacBook pro and iMac. I would use it for editing photos movies and music but I think ether could do that well. I do play some games like left 4 dead and hl2. I would like to take my computer away with me when we go away but that's only every few months. Apart from that my computer as it is stays where it is. SO what do you think. I need a opinion

What is the twitter app @ 1:44 ?
And when he touches the "end" call button there was a white circle over it what was that ?
White screen tapper ? I dont know how else to describe it
But when i touch a button on the iphone it goes gray , when he did it , it went white with a circle
qTweeter in Cydia, it's $3.99.

that's what i'm looking for, but when i put it in it made my backround white. is there some sort of limitation on the type of picture?
also, i don't have a "<BODY>" in my site, it's more like a "<BODY text=#000000" link=#00FF00.....and so on.

i've noticed that intels newer processors are in stores now. i wonder if anyone has tried folding with them?
i've read that some of these processors have been overclocked to near 5 ghz, but i can't find anything about folding with them

I'm pretty new to all this stuff too so don't exactly know what to tell you but I did want to say something else.
I have 4.1 jailbroken with Limera1n myself. Was thinking of upgrading to 4.2 but with a possible 4.3 update VERY close, is it really worth the trouble?
You will need to backup all your Cydia apps too. Which can be a bit sticky from what I've read. I use PkgBackup but I've heard that it doesn't always work. Plus there is always the small chance that you might run into issues when Jailbreaking.
Those are the reasons I elected to skip 4.2 and will go straight to 4.3.
Just my 2 cents...

So I'm pretty much brand new to the FaH scene (25% through my first work unit!), and I think it's pretty cool. I do research in pharmacology myself at the University of Pittsburgh, so I figure I might as well throw my idle cpu cycles into this project.
Thus far I've run across FahMon and InCrease, both which work pretty well. I'm wondering if there are any better apps to monitor FaH, which also include the ability to pause FaH, for the mac (leopard specifically)???
Thanks :)

As Applespider said you'll just need a 3-pin plug adaptor.
I strongly recommend that you buy your PB in the States and don't pay extra for our silly UK prices!

That is odd. I've been using mine for a week or so and not being too cautious about where I carry it... No scratches or scuffs at all.

Connect the iPad to computer...when iTunes shows your iPad...in the sync options...go to the app section as stated above...there is a checkbox that says "sync all new apps" (or something like that) ...check that box... That will bring the apps you purchased or downloaded on the iPad over to iTunes on your computer where you can manage them, and therefore NOT delete them on the iPad.
Since you haven't done this yet, iTunes thinks you want to mirror what's on the computer to the iPad instead of vice versa.
Hope that made some sense.
