cool. If they are anything like the 2709m, get ready to turn the brightness WAAYY down...

pffft.. no finger? unzip; strip; touch; finger; mount; fsck; more; yes; unmount; sleep

Even Apple employees cannot get their discount.

well f me. The shuffle doesn't have a non-inline volume control? So now, I have the choice of too short of a cable with my iphone or using a shuffle clipped to my lapel that doesn't have a volume control. So far the default volume is okay (I notice there is some sort of slider in itunes) but man, I feel like a fail magnet today.

yup, it's been doing that for a while, I notified them. Be careful when navigating their site.

mac mini refresh anyone?

two ipad related fails today. first, I assumed that I could get my standard corporate discount on the ipad. nope second, I assumed that I could walk in the store and buy one. nope

I'd check out the HP 2709m. That's what I went with and am thrilled. I might have a chance to compare side-by-side with the Apple Display, but unless is flashes up subliminal porn out-of-the-box I'm not sure I could justify the cost. If I was interested in a calibrated display, I might consider it, but I'm not, so...

<snarky coment>I guess because computers are being used, there isn't any need to charge back for any of the time you spend using them for such a purpose</snarky coment>

nope, this one: The Enyo Silver Upgrade/Custom Cable for Ultimate Ears (Black) [Enyo_Black] - S$96.60 : Null Audio Studio, Where everything is purely handmade $77 shipped. I cannot tell crap from those UE pics, and I'm not about to post a question relating to this on HF.....

I've been borrowing a friend's Panasonic DMC-G1 with 14-45 lens. Unfortunately, the macro capabilities leave a lot to be desired. If I end up making a deal with him, I'd like to pick up a decent close quarters lens that wouldn't break the bank. Any recommendations?

ok, well, looking for the cheapest possible cable that has four wires all the way down to the plug. In searching for such an item, I lost 30 minutes of my life I can now never get back. Wow, I feel much more stupid now. Looks like Null Audio has something that might work for cheap. Suck-It-ALO JH cable search turned up nothing unfortunately

Perhaps *639# ?

Cool, lemme know!

Won't that constrict the bass? And extension with a RA plug is kinda fail... Oh well, off to see what rat shack has...

Ffffffuuuuuu... Why don't they measure the cable from the split like I would have done I were them.. Anyone need the smallest cable size?

What if they only sell one? What's their profit margin then?

that's surprising to me at least.

Mike, that sounds fantastic!

New at macmall. They're having a sale now and I believe I was able to use Bing as well... I wish the mini was a bit snappier. I tried out the Mac Pro at the store yesterday... Pretty impressive...

Nah, we could care less around here about that...

The trackpad was definitely harder for the kids to figure out and they aren't nearly as fast with it even now. I'd recommend finding a wireless "travel mouse" or "laptop mouse". The key with these is they are much smaller and fit better into the kids hands. My son actually learned to use a fullsize mouse (this was before I thought to try the smaller one) by turning it 180 degrees where the spot where the cord would exit (if it wasn't wireless) pointed towards him. Of course, all movements are "backwards" but it was a better fit in his hand, because he then rested his palm on the table and had easy access to the buttons (and again, the right button then selects things, which is how my kids seem to think things should work. Also, to address this you can configure the mouse as if it was to be used by a lefty). The smaller mouse definitely made things easier for them...
