Ok here is my rig: it includes the MBP, my firewire/usb harddrive, some chewing gum for intense coding, mosquito repellent (living in Australian tropics), screen cleaning cloths, mouse etc and my awesome trash can!

Has anyone been able to use the "FixIt" feature that they demo'd? When I make a mistake and it gets red-underlined, I can right click on it and choose "Show Fix It�" but nothing happens...

The biggest drawback with your current machine is the 3GB memory. Lightroom is much happier with 4GB or more. I used to have a late 2006 MBP15 and LR was sluggish with 3GB.
I should think the faster CPU will have a much greater effect on performance than the GPU. GPU speed is really only relevant for games and video rendering.
I have a personal preference for matte displays. I used to own a black Santa Rosa Macbook and I was not happy with the display. It was largely useless unless you were in a location where you could control reflections and glare. The added screen real estate in the 15 is useful too, and I felt constrained by the resolution of the 13" display. I have traveled with my MBP15 to Asia a couple of times, and its size and weight are easily manageable on trips.

30% power savings sounds good to me. My regular AT&T cell phone is a battery hog and it is almost unreadable when the backlight is off. Having the LED display itself be the light sounds sweet. Imagine how much longer the iPhone battery life would have been with that kind of display, especially given the resolution differences are almost trivial at that size. I'm not sure Apple made the best choice here.

Even more reason 4 apple stores and then think of all the best buys
...americans help me out here there is a store in NY that does electronics.....SNAP just came to me there its called JR Electronics !
Actually there are more than 4 stores in NYC--in manhattan proper, yes just those 4, but staten island has one, i don't think any other borough does yet tho
and beyond those and best buy, save your gas. J and R does not carry the iPad as of yet. accessories only.

Nice!
Damn, brings back memories. I was a reseller back in the day and had a lot of those things and got rid of them. I had on of these and gave it away. Facepalm.

PS3 Mediaserver is a great solution. I've got it hooked up on my network and use my i7 PC to stream media to it. For streaming media, I usually go for Netflix, which in the US, has a pretty good selection, especially if you are into TV Shows. Sorry about the not so great selection. Hopefully it will get up dated soon. The best solution outside the PS3 media server is to convert everything that the PS3 likes using Handbrake. As a media streamer, i would have to agree with everyone else that it's kinda half baked but works well enough.
Where it shines is as a Blu-Ray player. That's one main reason I use mine and it's fantastic. I've also converted to getting all of my games on the PS3 since I'm afraid my 360 will crap out.

Interestingly, the tab shifting buttons they mention in this doesn't work in my Firefox 1.0. I have to use ctrl-page up/dn as opposed to cmd-pageup/dn.
(I keep getting told the server is too busy, so hope this only posts once.)

My wife has downloaded a couple of movies via itunes but for the life of me I have burned through dvd after dvd and cant get them to work. He keeps telling me I have a data error when I pop the DVD into one of our players.
What am I doing wrong?

I got a refund for Aperture when my nephew accidentally bought it whilst playing on my Mac. Strangely enough, I can still use the App, (even though I don't as I prefer iPhoto), I though Apple would have the power to remove stuff off your purchases list so you could no longer use it.

You had to physically remove the lens cap before shooting but I still thought it was great.
That might be why all of my images are too dark - I left the lens cap on :p

Apple will announce Internet Radio capability on new iPod. With WiFi capability new iPods will able to tune into specially designated Internet Radio stations operated by Apple. And with one click listeners will able to purchase, via wireless download the song recently heard via the Apple Internet Radio channels. :o
This would be a nice feature and would fit with Apple's way of doing things.
Guess we'll know soon.

Using passmark, since I just happened to have a very recent saved file.
Pre 2.1/Post 2.1
CPU Mark: 7658.1/7859.7
2D Mark: 786.9/797.2
3D Mark: 1205.2/1198.5
Memory Mark: 1227.3/1330.7
Disk Mark: 980.9/704.5
Only interesting result was the Disk Mark. I haven't changed any drivers, clocks or windows updates from 1 day to the next, so I'm not sure what this sharp in disk could be attributed too.
Broken Down
Pre2.1/Post2.1
Disk - Sequential Read: 80.0/74.8
Disk - Sequential Write: 136.7/82.7
Disk - Random Seek RW: 54.5/37.3
I have a Corsair SSD 128.
I'm going to do a full power cycle and repeat some of these tests just to make sure it's not my fault somehow.

If you copy by burning a dvd along with the itunes library data couldn't you just drop it into the itunes folder? Otherwise if you just transfer the music folders it seems you'd lose all your changed info.....comments, genre etc. I for one would really hate do redo the info on thousands of songs.
Marlene
That's true that you would lose any info that isn't stored inside the music file itself (i.e. in the ID3 tag of an MP3) - I prefer to have iTunes open and drag the info to iTunes so it finds it and imports it immediately. Using your method, I'd have to do the copy while iTunes is closed, then open iTunes and hope it sees the new music library.

MacBook 5.1
Hmm, maybe this applies then?
Standard RAM: 2 GB
Maximum RAM: 8 GB*
Details: 2 GB of RAM is installed as two 1 GB modules, no slots free.
*Apple officially supports a maximum of 4 GB of RAM. Originally, this model was only unofficially capable of stably supporting 6 GB of RAM, but as confirmed (http://blog.macsales.com/9102-secret-firmware-lets-late-08-macbooks-use-8gb) by site sponsor OWC, it is capable of supporting 8 GB of RAM if updated to Boot ROM Version MB51.007D.B03 and running MacOS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard."
