OMG, post a review, n00b! :D (I might get it, too :o ).
On the outset the game runs in iPhone mode on the iPad and looks crap. I shat you not. I am fairly pissed, I didn't notice this but it's my fault. It says it's ok for the iPad.
Will try on my 3G.
Update: It took well over 2 minutes to load on my 3G. It is not even worth playing at that point. I did install then reboot the device. Once it did load the gameplay is fun, like on RockBand (which I bought as well previously). The problem I do have is without headphones you can't hear the music in the beginning but you're "playing" chords.
I mean it's worth the $3, what's $3 today right? But on the 3G it loads like a bear. I did in fact get past a song and it didn't crash. We'll see what happens if I try to play after using my phone throughout the day. RockBand crashed on me a number of times.
On the new iPhone this game should be a dream. They are indeed relying on in-app purchasing. Once you get through their small amount of songs on all three levels you're going to want more I'd imagine.
It running on the iPad is nice but the fact that it's not optimized for it sucks.

Very cool; one of the best Flash websites I've ever seen. But, for some odd reason, I found myself leaning my head closer to the screen. :confused:

Should i start reading up on it now, or wait till thursday when i actually get the mac before i delve into it?
You can definitely get something out of it just by reading it without Xcode available and running.
NOTE: Some folks find Kochan boring or at least slow going in the beginning. Give it a chance and if the first few chapters don't grab you skip ahead a bit.
The second book you mention (Hillegass & Conway) is a great second book since it delves more into the iOS specific/GUI stuff that is barely touched at the end of Kochan.
EDIT: If you are really anxious to get started you could always rent time at http://www.macincloud.com/. For as low as $20 for a month's access.

Calling Mac heads and Music heads!
Nothing too big..just need some specific and easy info on how to do something.
I am going to be using ustream to broadcast a radio station {seeing in how ustream is free}. I read this article: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2055197/step_by_step_instructions_on_starting.html?cat=3 - which states step-by-step what to do to create and get the ball rolling on such a project, but the guy is using a PC. Ugh. Gross.
I currently have a Numark NS7 Dj Turntable system and thought maybe I could hook that up and make it work as a mixer of sorts, but I tested that idea and it did not seem to work out how I thought. Anyone know if I am going to need to buy an external mixer? Is there a Mac program I can download? Any info would help.
Thanks in advance!

Recently i have installed Lion developer preview 2 Mac Os.
Due to the fact that it was too buggy i decided to install Snow Leopard... i backed up to Time Machine.
And now my mac does not recognize external hard drive and keep writing to me that to open it i need to have Mac OS 10.7
Could you help me with some solutions with my problem?
Yeah, in the future follow my (or our) advice, and use developer releases of Mac OS X only on a separate machine. Each major version of Mac OS X contains file system changes (that means changes in the kernel), which can result in various "bugs" in prerelease versions and/or in permanent data loss. Prereleases are not a toy.

I�m from Sweden so sorry about my english (although "ration" was just my typing..)
:)
I was perfectly happy with the help you gave me though, it really helped!
The istopmotion comment was just because I was so surprised a program like that, which is really expensive in the first place, would do such a strange thing as just crop the image like that. I was just very surprised to see that..
Anyway, cropping my image in imovie, making it 16:9, then exporting it using HD and uncompressed format and then reimporting it turned out good. (I did a check on a 21 inch screen and it looks quite good. I never managed to get that quality on 4:3.
And another thing, I also looked into Dragon, but they won�t let you important any photos that you have already taken imported with another program. That�s also kind of crazy I think, but nevermind..
Greetings and thanks again!

You would probably get a quick answer in the MacBook forum (this is the Mac Pro desktop forum) but I think any office screen cleaner and lint-free cloth will do the job.
Yep. The key is lint-free, so you don't scratch the screen.

I'll start by posting some pics of my desk which I modded the other day to put 2 computer fans in, as the temps would skyrocket with the tower i have in there. First I took an old computer fan and striped its wires. Second i took an old usb cord striped its wires too I wired them up with scotch tape (:eek:) and was ready to drill. I used a dremel to do the cutting (don't have pic) Finished result
the one at the bottom pulls in cooled air and the one at the top expels hot air. plus it points right at my legs so they stay toasty! Sorry for crumby pics i don't have a great camera right now.

KeithPratt makes the very valid point that every mp4 isn't equal and it is quite possible to make a video from an HD file that is too complex to read by some machines.
Also, an m4v is simply an mp4 with a different extension. Change the file name from X.m4v to X.mp4 and it will play better on some equipment. Handbrake allows you to choose which extension you prefer, but you can always change the the extension after you've encoded the file.
You might also ask your clients to install a program called VLC, which is excellent at playing a wide variety of file types.
Thx for the help. I will try to change to MP4, instead of M4V. I still dont understand how some files would play, and some not, when I've used the same presets?? Is there any way that I can get complete codec-compression info off of the files now? Just to double-check if they differ in any way?

The cloud player depends on flash pluggin so it doesn't work on ipad.
There is a work around. It's a PITA, but it works. It is just not worth it to me to hassle with it on my iPad. It is nice on my Droid though.

"I guess my concern is with the unfamiliarity with the structure of the backup folder itself. Leaves me wondering what may happen if/when technology fails and this becomes corrupt for something."
This is EXACTLY why I recommend to others that they DO NOT use Time Machine for backups.
Time and time and time again -- right here on Macrumors -- I read postings of the essence, "help, my hard drive crashed, and I'm trying to access my Time Machine backup, and it won't mount, etc., etc."
If they had used one of the "clone" backup utilities that create bootable backups in POFF (plain ol' finder format), they wouldn't be posting those messages. They'd be up and running in a matter of minutes.
But because of the way TM "packages" its backups, there can be problems in "moments of extreme need". And we see the results right here on Macrumors.
TM gives the illusion of making backups simple, easy, and "automatic", and, as far as that goes, it does. It's EASY to "backup" with Time Machine.
What can be DIFFICULT is trying to ACCESS those backups later on when the user is beset with all kinds of problems.
Yes, it takes more effort and forethought when you use CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper as you backup tool. BUT -- when things have gone all to h*** and you're wondering what to do next, they make it blindingly EASY to get restarted. TM does not.
That's the difference.

Ok then. That sounded like a pretty messy KP for it to cause fsck to need to fix something. Hmm. Keep an eye on it.
As for the screen not coming back on from a sleep, well, it's certainly possible - especially if you supect a rogue driver. Personally, I don't let my 12PB sleep on it's own - I've turned it off in Energy Saver. It sleeps only when I ask it to, mostly by closing the lid. I also never power it down my current uptime is 13 days 17 hours.
What mp3 player are you using? Have you tried to load it without drivers?
Archos Jukebox Recorder 15 which, I believe, uses the ISD-200 IDE->USB bridge. I think the only OS with built-in support for it is Linux. It didn't work at all on the ibook until I loaded the 10.2 Jaguar drivers provided by Archos. With the drivers installed, it shows up as a removable hard drive when I plug it in. Same as it does with Windows.
