Hi, I will not be camping out, however I am disabled and wonder if their nwill be a (special Line) for people that have disabled (PLACARDS). Also, does anyone know how long the pre reservation lines will be and how fast they will move, base on like (person #43) who is in line? Also, my reservation says 7 am, but could there be like a 1000 customers in the reservation line at 7 am? I'm just trying to get a (CLEAR UNDERSTANDING) of how long I will be in line because of my disability. Please let me know from past experiance.
thanks, purplestigers:apple:
Spoke with the apple store today. They will have 2 lines one for reservations and one for non reservations. I asked about disabled people. The rule is you must wait in the line. But they said they would be more than happy to help you any way they could. The mall is not going to let us line up until like 5am. In the past when apple opens the doors the lines are fairly long. I have seen them stretch all the way from the apple store down towards Macy's. I'd say at 7am there will be at least 50 non reservation people in line and more than that in the reservation line. I cant really speculate how fast the line will move since the farthest back i have ever been in line was 8. My suggestion would be to have someone wait in line for you and then when the store is about to open go meet up with them. Good luck. Lets us know how it went. :-)

In the advent of "smarter" smartphones I see no need for portable systems (for me at least).
Nintendo and Sony should take note (with the Xperia Play it seems at least Sony* have already).
Portable gaming is enormous in Japan -- Nintendo and Sony could be profitable for decades just selling their portable systems there.
Also, while there are many fun iOS titles, touch screen interfaces are just poor substitutes for traditional game controllers for many titles. As long as consoles are still relying on analog sticks and buttons, it'll be tough to replicate the experience enjoyably on a touch-screen device for many genres.

I don't understand the huge mess part of your comment. You can always display things at a size that is comfortable for you. It was when screen resolution was fixed that everything was a huge mess.
With fixed resolution a designer never knew if his product was going to be displayed at 640X480, 800x600, 1280x1024, widescreen, etc. etc. Now a designer can design at a suitable resolution and the user can scale to a size that is pratical for them.
It is a good thing people. Don't worry.
Ah, but YOU'RE missing the point completely. As resolutions inscrease the interface can scale up because it is resolution independent in 10.5. Web pages are NOT resolution independent for the most part. Photos, graphics, interfaces are not. So, when you're looking at your killter 3000x2000 monitor yes your icons and OS interface can scale up and your photos will look very crisp BECAUSE they are vector or have extra resolution to draw from. Websites on the other hand will be fixed at 800x600 or whatever and unless you want them to be miniscule on your screen as they are shown pixel for pixel, they will have to be blown up in some way.
So the res independence IS a good thing and just fine UNTIL the monitor resolutions go through the roof for the same physical screen sizes.
There are too many things outthere that are desinged WITHOUT the independence. Icons inside nearly every application for example. All kinds of stuff. My guess is that this won't affect too much too quickly. It just addresses some issues with the current interface on high screen monitors.

Stopped by the apple store before they closed tonight and talked to a couple guys there. They werent very positive about inventory tomorrow. Just an FYI.
They always say that. Doesn't mean you shouldn't go line up tomorrow.

Try clearing your cache and cookies. Also, check any adblockers you may have running.
I have tried all that, I did the reset Safari, but unchecked the reset top sites box, and disabled ClickToFlash. That is the only extension I have running regularly, the other is Twitter but I don't use it ever and it is always disabled. The first thing I thought was my IP Address was being blocked from the servers because I could access the site on everything via Clear or AT&T on my iPhone, the site just won't work on my home network.

The new Little Brother album is worth checking out...
MF Doom is a genius...
A Long Hot Summer was one of the best albums from last year no doubt...
Midnight Marauders is my third favourite album of all time (after Illmatic and The Infamous)

Max (http://sbooth.org/Max/) is among the more popular free options. :) I really like it, although it's been a while since I used it. It supports FLAC and OGG, although I used it for other things...
Looks like a good one - if I weren't already using Amadeus, it would certainly be worth a try.

Thank you for the suggestion. Running FSCK came back with non-repairable errors and now the machine won't boot into OS X. So, I'm going to just put a new hard drive in the computer.
Ah, sorry it turned out that way. And yeah, that's indicative of hardware sector failures. Good thing is though that the hard drive is one of the cheapest components to replace that goes bad.
Edit: Good for you keeping a Time Machine Backup :)

Wow now I'm wondering if it's even worth showing up at 1 or if it'll be too packed :confused:
Ok thanks. Would have come up tonight but my doc didn't think it would be very good for my health. So hope I can get a decent place in line.
We will keep you all up to date.

heh... not that anyone actually cares... since it is all based on feel.
The new design actually starts slightly higher on the page than the old design and the middle column story actually isn't significantly elongated.... at least in this sample resolution
Note: the Yellow Dots note the top-left and bottom-right of the first article in the old layout. While the Green Dots are positioned at the top-left, and bottom-right of the new layout. (same resolution, around 830pixels wide and then shrunk down 50%)

@Munkees, do I understand correctly that you now make use of Aperture to manage "referenced" files: importing iPhoto's existing folders and/or albums?
Then, how do you organize your hierarchy: years (1999, ...) as a 'project', events like travels as a 'folder', a country (for example "USA") as an 'album', and a specific visit ("Yosemite", "Grand Canyon North rim", "Grand Canyon South rim") as a 'sub folder' or 'sub album')?

The discussion of strategy will only have Apple's weaker competitors gunning to copy products.

Also on a side note... your breadcrumb at the top of the forum page is broken in FireFox. The "trigger box" for the "MacRumors Forums" link is a huge box that overlays the next few items in the breadcrumb. Essentially, making the neighboring links useless because it would fire the "MacRumors Forums" link instead.
This is an issue with one of your Firefox extensions.
As for the breadcrumbs, we noticed they went missing after we updated the forums last week, but it wasn't something we consciously changed. We'll see if there's anything we can do to bring them back.

New here, and planning to purchase a new mac mini for next school year. Here are some question, hope someone can help me out. I had already read some of this, but still want to make sure.
I would use for school work, some graphic designing, music composing, and of course a bit gaming.
2.4GHz or 2.66GHz ? Would it be different of the performance?
Would like to upgrade ram, a little question that on the apple website is "8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM (add $300...)", and I saw someone said this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231294
would be work fine, is it?
I had already got a bluetooth keyboard with said work with windows, mac, android etc. could it be work? and might also a bluetooth mouse I use with windows right now.. I know it kind of dum question, but just want to make sure and save some money.
About the applecare, should i buy it as well or not? If not, could I buy it like 11 months after i purchase the mac mini?
Thanks for reading my questions, and all of the answers :)

A quick Google search brought this up: http://www.tipb.com/2010/06/21/switching-android-iphone-4/
Moving over contacts, calendars, and email
Here�s the good news: if you�re using Android chances are you�re using Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts for your personal information, and those all work really well on the iPhone. You can set them up either as an Exchange account (which uses Google Sync�s ActiveSync license) to push everything straight from the mothership to your iPhone.
Since iOS 4 can handle multiple ActiveSync accounts, that�s the way we recommend you go. Just tap the Settings icon on the Home Screen, tap Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, choose Exchange, and enter your credentials. Google even has a help page if you�re not sure just what exactly to put where.
About the only things you�ll miss � and we miss them too � is a more Gmail-like mail app. iPhone Mail is a great IMAP client but Gmail does things their own way, with threads and labels and stars. You�ll get threads, but the other two just aren�t there.
If it bothers you enough, you can load up gmail.com right in the Safari web browser. Google makes the best web apps in the business and they work great in Safari (which shares the same WebKit root as Google�s own Chrome). Once you�ve logged in to Gmail, Safari will ask you to cache a few megs of mail on your iPhone � HTML5 and SQLite power! � and then you�re good to go.
On the off chance you don�t like ActiveSync you can hit the handy Gmail button instead in Mail Settings and go the IMAP route. If you don�t even use Gmail, you can setup MobileMe (Apple�s expensive push service), Exchange, or pretty much any POP3 or IMAP service you have via the Other button.
