An electric pylon in the woods near where I live.
I was considering posting this in the weekly photo contest thread as the current theme is surrealism, but I decided to stick with my old favourite, photo of the day.
I really like this. All of the lines seem to point to the centre which adds a good dynamic and the slight warping in the pylon is just perfect.
As for mine, it's part of a personal project that I've been messing around with for a little while. There are a couple other lighting styles and colours in the Flickr set. I'm not quite sure how I want to do the final image but I'm thinking maybe a triptych of different coloured lights might work well.

For those still looking to buy an iPad 2, Sunday, April 17th may be a good time to try. Both Best Buy and Toys R' Us are advertising iPad 2 availability for that day. Best Buy is featuring a prominent nationwide ad for Sunday promoting the iPad 2 (see above). The promotion appears to be the reason (http://www.macrumors.com/2011/04/08/best-buy-not-in-trouble-with-apple-holding-ipad-2-stock-for-upcoming-promotion/) why Best Buy was previously holding back iPad 2 sales. Engadget publishes (http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/15/still-need-an-ipad-2-head-to-best-buy-on-sunday-sunday-sunday/) the internal memo describing the promotion.
Meanwhile, 9to5mac reports (http://www.9to5mac.com/61694/exclusive-toys-r-us-to-start-selling-16-gb-and-32-gb-wifi-ipad-2s-smart-covers-tomorrow-sunday-april-17/) Toys R' Us is also using the same day to kick off their iPad 2 sales. Toys R' Us was previously rumored (http://www.macrumors.com/2011/04/07/apple-expanding-ipad-2-retail-presence-to-toys-r-us/) to soon begin carrying the iPad 2. Toys R' Us' website now lists (http://www.toysrus.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=11202426&camp=MISC:Vanity:printads:TRU:iPadstores:30311) locations that will be carrying the iPad 2.

I wonder if anyone payed 1.29 for revolution number nine.
With the digital signal... you can flip the waveform and play it in reverse... much easier than what we had to do by spinning our turntables backwards to hear the "real lyrics".

Since I posted this... I have been reading the "Paul is Dead" hoax. There are hundreds of clues... but this had to be one of the most telling:
Revolution 9 - various bits of chatter and noise can be heard that represent Paul's death, including "his voice was low and his eyes were high and his eyes were closed", "Paul died", "my fingers are broken and so is my hair. I'm not in the mood for wearing clothing", "maybe even dead", "you become naked (the way a body is buried)", and most interesting, there is a clip where a car crashes and catches on fire. "Paul" can be heard screaming "Get me out." Finally, the voice repeating "number nine, number nine" at the beginning, when played backward, says the infamous phrase "Turn me on, dead man, turn me on, dead man."

But does the 1GB use one memory slot or two?
As long as the MacBook continues to use integrated graphics, you will never see Apple shipping them with single-memory-stick configurations. Unlike the MacBook Pro, using mismatched memory sticks in a MacBook's slots actually results in a potentially painful performance hit.
That's because, if the memory inserted in all slots are perfectly matched, the memory manager can handle multiple requests at once: one access for each memory slot. The GMA950's memory is ideally all grouped together on one memory stick. This way, one stick will never be tied up servicing the GMA950, so the CPUs will always have exclusive access to it. Only the single "shared" stick ever needs to be deal with possible contention from multiple masters.
If you only have one memory stick, then the CPUs and the GPU will always need to fight each other for their turn at accessing memory.

Reset PRAM, apparently that broke CoreDuoTemp sensor because mine is reading 12�C, iStatPro is reading 12� C as well, but smcFanControl is reading 72� C. Week 27 MacBook by the way. So my suggestion is, if your MacBook has no issues or you are fine with how it is running right now, DO NOT UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE.
My Macbook also has false CPU Temp readings with all apps running Speedit. That is CoreDuoTemp, iStat widgets etc...
smcFanControl uses a different sensor. My guess is the new firmware somehow disables the CPU core sensors (there is one in every core) and uses the other one instead. So the values SpeeIt gets refresh only every time you reboot.

Look! Up in the sky!
Is it a bird?
It's a plane!
No! It's an partially eaten flying apple!
It's landing!
[time passes]
Something's coming out of it!
[gasps and screams of anticipation]
IT'S SUPERMAN!
OMG! He must be using the new iFly! What's that, Superman? It flies better than you?
[Superman smiles and winks, and flies off, presumably to fight crime, but actually to go find Lois]
Introducing the new Apple iFly. Better than Superman.
Wow! I want to fly it over the Atlantic ocean!
Look everyone! An Apple PR rep just stepped out of the iFly! What's that Apple PR rep? It can't fly above water yet? It's a bug that's going to be fixed in a software update?
And you can fill it's 32GB of storage by syncing with iTunes on your Mac or PC? Wow!
Everyone swarm the iFly!
[riot ensues]

And this fake and completely improbable guy scenario can't ask his boss to use the legally licensed copy at work after hours or just use an older version version ? Or can't do without the FULL CS suite and just buy the portions he needs ? Or... just use another tool than Adobe's that is cheaper ?
No seriously, not an excuse or valid scenario. A freelancer would find a way if he's motivated enough.
Unfortunately not. This extremely tired and overworked theoretical man cannot ask his boss, because the freelance work conflicts with the corporate work. He also just uses photoshop. He's looked for cheaper tools - really wants to love pixelmator, but it just falls too short, and doesn't offer the compatibility he needs to work with his colleagues. He'd love to buy an older version of the suite - CS3 would be fine - if he could find it at a reasonable price, which he can't.
This guy - like I imagine many other "pirates" - isn't a bad guy. He WANTS to buy it, but it's tough to swallow that kind of an asking price. One day soon, when he can afford to, he'll pay the price. He just can't right now.

Wait a second. They use a 3rd party wireless card, and he said in the end that "the flaw is not in the Apple operating system as we used 3rd party hardware". I'd say that's quite different from the impression I got from reading the macrumors headline here. A default MacBook using the built in Airport isn't vulnerable as far as I can tell.
Yeah, I'm curious about that too. I have to admit, I didn't even know you could use a third party wireless card with a Mac. It does seem kind of misleading, cause I just can't imagine how many people are even out there with MacBooks that are using this third party wireless card.
Is this at least a driver that is built into OS X anyway, or is it something you would also have to install along with the third party wireless card?
It does seem pretty misleading to me, because I think the way this story is being presented is that Apple is basically shipping MacBooks that could be exploited right out of the box, and that doesn't sound like it's actually the case.

Jobs was equally unconcerned about the prospect of the iPod losing its cool factor as it becomes increasingly ubiquitous.
"That's like saying you don't want to kiss your lover's lips because everyone has lips. It doesn't make any sense," said Jobs.

Personally I haven't listened to them much in years, and last month did a retrospective of their stuff (http://www.geardiary.com/2010/11/09/music-diary-retrospective-a-magical-mystery-tour-of-the-beatles-catalog/)... it was interesting since most of my memory comes from the original US LP's my brother owned.
I really don't listen to much pop music ... I mention Pat Metheny as it is about as close to mainstream stuff as I get. So for me they aren't so tired ... certainly less so than the Eminem my older son listens to so much ...
I worded my original poorly, I was speaking of influence and being derivative ... Zepplin is a great example, as whether or not they were good, they were heavily influenced by the Beatles, Who, Jeff Beck group, and so on ... and it shows heavily in their work.
That's cool. I knew what you were getting at.
I've recently rediscovered "Abbey Road", which I've been playing a lot of (mostly starting with track 6 and playing to the "The End"). It really is timeless and reminds me of many other bands.

Has anyone noticed that the refurb section at the Apple Online Store is completely out of stock of all 15" and 13" Macbook Pros? I can't remember this being the case recently and it makes me wonder if this is related to a possible new release of those size configurations. There are multiple configs of the 17" MBP available.

Sadly, Vegas will cost you more for a week than SF (if you want to do it "right").
It all depends what you want to do in Vegas. If you're wanting to go to restaurants, shows, and/or spa then $1500 is plenty for a few nights of that and you'll have some left over for quarter VP/slots. If you're wanting to go to the club and buy 4 bottles every night...then $1500 isn't going to get you very far.
