When my home studio opened in 2000 i was running a pentium 3 1 ghz system with 512mb ram and a 60-gig hd. In 2002 i updated to XP and had no problems from then on. I was using cubase sx on pc and was having very little problems maybe 1 crash every 2 months. The main problem was speed... wasn't able to run many tracks with the plugins I had. So this Oct. I purchased a brand new dual2.0ghz g5 with 512mb ram and a 160-gig hd. I purchased motu Digital Performer 4 and the g5 came with panther. Now in January I'm beginning to regret this decision. First of all i must say OSX is flawless. It's a pleasure to work with everyday. Now on the hardware side. The speed is very good but I'm an audio engineer and obviously the control room must be as quiet as possible. The system itself...pretty silent. Now the crunching squeaking and chirping that is coming out of my speakers and headphones is far form silent. My clients complain almost everytime about the noise that is coming from their headphones in between takes. Digital Performer is awful. I have never used a program that loves to randomly quit to often. My recommendation for any audio engineer or musician/engineer stay away from the first generation g5' and digital performer. The combination of the two has all but ruined my mac experience.

I can open the exr files in photoshop, but I would have thought there is a way to convert them to adobe .DNG at least?
I've tried saving them out from photoshop into .psd or .tiff (32 bit float?) but aperture doesn't like either as they are 32 bit. Ideally I need to change them to .dng files to work with properly.
I would have thought this is possible?

seen plenty but just wondering for recommendations
I did the same for funding a while back and ended up learning loads of crap and wasting my time

Can't you save them to an external drive?
I do, but then if you want to actually use them in iMovie you have to import them into iMovie from the external. At least that's what I've been doing so far as I have not been able to find a workaround.

Hey you...that's one hell of an improvement. Font size too small, kind of lingers on black too much at the end - but comparitively speaking, I liked it so much I played it several times. :o

Does anyone know how to use Chameleon or does anyone know of a tutorial. I have an iPhone app I want to port to the Mac.

What interface are you using with your G5 and DP? You didn't mention it, but I can't imagine that you're using your built-in analog connections on the G5, so what are you using for your external gear? And did you switch anything else when making the Windows -> Mac transition?
I have had little problems with Performer on my DP 450 G4 (an almost 3.5 year old machine). While I don't totally push the system, it is very stable and clean.

Hey guys,
The reason I ask this is because I saw a post saying that the iphone 4 white is Susceptible to limera1n and can be jailbroken, but does this new white version come with any kind of baseband update?
Or is it the same?
I want to jump from my 3GS to the 4 but I rely on ultrasn0w for the unlock!
Thanks
Nope, the only IP4 baseband that can be Ultrasn0w unlocked is the 1.59.00 baseband that came with iOS 4.0 - 4.02. Anything later is still waiting for the unlock.
You have another option however and that is the Gevey and RebelSim.

Gee I wonder how many would be sold if they weren't purposely crippling the supply lines to retailers and holding back finished consoles? :rolleyes:

Unfortunately, this has led to a lot of catalog mining. Previous-gen PS2 and Xbox games like Ubisoft�s "Blazing Angels" and "Prince of Persia" were gussied up with Wii Remote controls and then shoved out the door to capitalize on the system�s momentum.
This is my major fear about the Wii. But...
After Ubisoft, Electronic Arts is the next major third-party developer to redirect resources to the Wii. Not only has the gaming giant set up Wii-dedicated development teams, but within the last month, EA has released no fewer than three Wii titles: "SSX Blur," "The Godfather: Blackhand Edition," and "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07."
...this brings a little promise, even if it is EA and EA is the devil. :p

Am I correct in thinking that under OS X a kilobyte is 10^3 bytes? (The name kibibyte now referring to 2^10 bytes).
See attached image showing the info tab for a text file I have.
How can the file be 4 KB on disk and yet only 1,042 bytes of information? That seems like quite a discrepancy. Why does the text consume only 1,042 bytes of ascii information and yet take 4KB to store this to disk? What am I missing?

thanks both of you, that worked kinda.
the only problem is in the dock, when you ctrl click the new icon to get the menu you can move out through folders on the hard drive but not on cds. the cd shows up, but just as an alias. any work around?

Have you considered going through newegg. For $235 you can get the 120GB hard drive and install it yourself. The process isn't very difficult. Then either get a cheap external case for you old drive to transfer the files and have a portable external. Or if you have a desktop you can transfer your data to it and back. You can also get a 5400RPM 100GB for $155 their isn't much of a difference in storage but the price is half. Just my two cents.

Does anyone have available a 16GB new iPhone? what price would you be willing to sell for? Im just considering my options with the old iPhone, and the new one!
Thanks
Edit: I am after the original iPhone. I want to compare the price of an original 16gb iPhone to the 3G iPhone I will be able to buy soon. If anyone has an original for a good price, I will buy.

Someone posted a screenshot of the banner ads in the Spymac Gallery, and the guy who bought them responded. He basically just did it as a thank you. The self-serve ad system lets you buy 1000 impressions for $10 (or $5 for the small banner below the shoutbox).
Kind of weird, but whatever...

I have a series of .png still images of text with each still having a slight reflection on different parts of the text.
In motion, the stills come up as a 'PNG Sequence' (1sec1frame) when imported to the timeline, the text is animated, but id want to extend this animation to 3+ secs - just duplicating results in a 'dink' where one dupe stops and the other starts.
I have motion 4 and after FX CS5 though im more experienced with motion (prefer to do this in motion) - there are 25 still frames
Easy in both Motion and AE.
In Motion 4:
1. Import your PNG sequence into a Group.
2. Open the layers panel if it's not open (Command-4)
3. Select the sequence in the layers panel.
4. Open the Inspector and go over to the Properties panel.
5. Twirl down the Timing section if it's not up.
6. Where it says Speed, lower the speed until it hits the desired length of time you're looking for.
7. Helps to have the timeline up (command-7).
Let me know if you need further help.

Recently I have been posting alot on topic and I also started an off topic one (9600 Web Server Information) which I will now delete and try not to start one similar again.
Possibly a new area called "Questions" but thats not really for rumors. hmm. Not sure.
Well this is a useless post so you might as well ignore it!
Some of the threads (such as Age and Brag about your Mac Here) are not really needed but its nice to know such information. :confused:
I think that there may be too many polls at the moment and that there should not be too many (Possibly a server limit of 5 per week?)
Also, will the front of the site be done up like the nice new designs of some pages? I hope so I really like the new pages.
