Ok, I'm totally going to do my best to make a shopping cart full of what I suspect is in this photo:

I must know how much all of that would cost! How much $ is behind that plate of glass? Interesting...
I surely hope so... Remember Macworld SF '05 when Steve Jobs declared 2005 to be the "Year of HD"? Not much really came from that, so maybe he really meant, "In a year from now, we're gonna release an awesome product that has to do with HD". Haha... It would be cool if it was a media center type Mac (maybe even based on VIIV), but I wouldn't mind if it was that new video iPod (see here: http://static.flickr.com/26/103357149_ebe5a6a8c7.jpg )
hahaha, and i thought i was gonna be the funny guy to make a Unix X11 reference! haha, silly me...
Can't "bright" mean, "stuck on"? A pixel that is stuck on is more of a nuisance than a "dead pixel" which is stuck off. I would think that their policy would stipulate that, though I don't know if this has been discussed before ;-P
Wow, does everyone set the All Windows hot corner to the bottom left? I have mine set to the bottom left as well, along with the desktop in the bottom right, and Dashboard in the top-left (and at work I have the top-right set to the password protected screen saver to lock my computer when I leave my desk).

I swear, all of my friends and a few people here at work that I showed the hot corners/Expose trick have All Windows set to the bottom left.

Crazy!! haha


Quote #2:

"You know, if you just hold the shift button down until your desktop comes up, and then restart normally, it will accomplish the same thing.

Safe mode will check your hard drive and remove said preference file for you, among other things."

Safe boot does not do this for you. Here is the Apple document describing just what it does:

As
for this troubleshooting tip, this is a great one! I wish Apple Tech Training would get more detailed with command line troubleshooting tips. Maybe next time I need to certify, they will have added more of this stuff...
1. Double Clicking icons in the Dock!!!

2. Saving EVERYTHING to the Desktop and/or the root of the Hard Drive.

I'm an IT Admin that's all Macs except 1 Windoze computer, and a lot of the people here are first time Macs users, and almost everyone was opening apps from disk images before I had the chance to manage everyones computer (we're a startup and everyone basically just took their computer and ran with it before I could get my hands on them and set them up correctly). Funny thing is, almost all of those instances were for Firefox!
Agreed with Jason Ross... the dead space to the right is pretty weird, and the left and right margins of the entire page are not "auto", it looks as if it's absolutely positioned. The empty space on the right side I can deal with for a v1.0 product, but come on, at least auto-margin the sides of the container div.


I encourage all you guys with complaints to send feedback to Apple. I know I will. At least the page almost validates with only a single error.

Overall, a good v1.0 effort by Apple for easy, standards based web publishing. Can't wait for the comparison reports of iWeb against the third-party products like Realmac software's Rapidweaver ( http://www.realmacsoftware.com/ ) and Karelia's Sandvox ( http://www.karelia.com/ ). Both of which validate as XHTML Strict and the code looks pretty good. (They both do offer direct source code editing, so their developers could have gone in the and cleaned up the straight generated code.)

Hahaha!!! Look at that, I confirm my comment and someone posted the link as I was writing it... thanks Jiggles!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
