So my 2007 Xbox 360 decided to konk out on me today. It turns on and it makes the booting noise, but alas I just have a black screen (yes I've check cables). Fine, ***** happens. So I go to Best Buy to pick up the 4gb 360 slim. Low and behold they don't have it, all they have is the stupid 4gb Kinect bundles or the 250gb holiday bundle. They have stacks upon stacks of these goddamn bundles, but no stand-alone 4gb systems. Next stop, Target. Same story there, Kinect and holiday bundles galore, but no stand-alone systems. Next stop Wal-Mart, same story. Next Stop Meijer, same stupid story. Finally I go to Gamestop, and guess what only Kinect and Holiday bundles.
To say that I am pissed right now is a major understatement. Why do they have to stock all of these stupid *********g bundles? No one wants the damn things. Why can't they just stock more stand-alone systems? Maybe it's not the fault of the stores, maybe this is Microsoft's falut, because they won't make enough stand-alone systems. If that is the case, why do they have to be so stupid????
/END RANT/
Basically what is with this bundle crap? What happened to buying this separately?

Hello all, I have recently received a iMac G5 for very cheap, I tested the machine and i have no display. The first 2 LEDS come on and the third does not. i believe the issue with it is blown capacitors, although im not 100% on this. I have never dealt with a capacitor issue so i'd figure i'd ask if that really is the problem, so it can be fixed. Heres an image of my iMac

Are the ones on the left needing replaced? Theres about 15 in the machine that look similiar, and few that look like whats on the right.
If this is indeed my problem, where could i get the capacitors that i need?

You mean do I respond to overblown media hysteria and people who don't really understand how cell phones work? No, not really.
Sorry but the antennagate is very real.
I went to my local Apple store the other day, and picked up an iPhone 4 and bridged the gap with my left hand. The bars dropped from full to 1.
Now you might say, "who holds their iPhone like that?" well, sometimes i actually do, i hold my iPhone 3G like that sometimes.
I understand that a few phones do the same thing, if i hold my iPhone 3G is an awkward position i can get it to drop bars as well. But the iPhone 4's weak spot is a very common way of holding a phone, that's where they went wrong.
It's pretty clear the iPhone 4 didn't have the media attention, and i believe Apple is keeping the iPhone 5 in secrecy so that they come out with a bang.

Yeah, it should. And your statement isn't QUITE correct. There was PC1600. (Slower than PC2100,) but it was really unusual. By the time DDR became mainstream, PC2100 was the norm.
sweet... then i am upping my ram to 384! these system is crippled. it wouldn't be so bad if it had dedicated video memory. I get horrible lag when trying to open calculater while firefox is open.

Bear in mind that markets operate on speculation as well - Jobs in good health, positive expected growth and speculation on future innovations and sales drives share prices.
Thus when one of these factors changes so does the expected projections (although this may not occur). If the stock market is wrong it will re-adjust again.
Personally, I'm glad many countries don't do after-hours trading. Remember, traders should have a life too! :)

I am definatly going so if anyone wants to meet up, I think there is a cafe (of sorts downstairs from the Apple Store with seating just outside it. We could all meet up there if anyone wants to. The seating is right in front of the photo place.

Tell us how you go
Unfortunately, our head of service just went on holiday for a couple of weeks which puts me in his shoes, ie. no one else for me to ask the specific details of the fix

or stop the WU, copy the files:
- queu.dat
- work (folder)
- unitinfo.txt
- FAHlog.txt
Uninstall folding completely, install the console version and answer the standard questions (the configuration routine). Then stop the console version, because it already started folding on a new WU and replace the new files which it has created (named the same as the 4 above) with the ones you copied. It should go further with the old WU.

Sure, under the Activator settings, you can set what does what. Click on the Anywhere button, then scroll down to "Status Bar".
I have double tap status bar set to bring up the application switcher. Swipe right brings up sbsettings, swipe left brings up system settings. Swipe down brings up the home springboard.
Hope this helps.
Excellent! Many thanks lokerd :cool:

I think you mean labels not studios. Most of the people working at studios work very hard for not much pay.

He must have meant labels. Studios don't make hardly squat, and are not commissioned on sales.

I sell original adapters over 2 years, hope these suggestions can help you find the right adapters.
First, some words I use.
①Original:
Someone call it genuine. Apple don�t produce adapter by itself, so they find OEM(Original Equipment Manufacturer). Till now I know 3 companies make adapters for Apple, they are Delta/Liteon/Samsung. Some customers like Delta, they think that its quality is the best.
②Replacement:
These adapters also called high-copy, they are made by other factories without Apple�s authorisation. Too many factories produce these adapters in China, a wide difference between these adapters. Generally speaking, 2 kinds, Grade A and Grade B.
Factories in China like calling their replacement as OEM, it�s not right. I will not discuss Grade B, quality is a big problem in my opinion.

really weird and frustrating, huh. �240 (just under $400) for 8gb in the UK from crucial, or anywhere else i've seen. 4GB is merely 1/2 that.
don't think you can get it any cheaper. and it's probably going to stay there. urgh.

People come to forums such as this for help and to complain. Rare is it that someone logs on to post "My iMac works perfectly and I am 100% satisfied."
But for me, that is exactly the case. My iMac is perfect and I am 100% satisfied with it. It was, other than my iPhone 4, my first Apple product, and as you can see from my sig I have bought a whole lot more. In fact I will be getting a second iMac to replace the last Windows XP machine in my home so that we can now be windows free. Other than my 3 laptops provided to me for my job. Yuck! :p
If you go Apple, you'll never go back. :apple:
iMac = 10
iPhone4 = 10
MBA = 10
iPad2 = 8 (Light bleed)

What are some precautions I should take before selling my Air? Beyond wiping my SSD what else do I need to do to make sure my data is securely erased?
If you wipe your SSD, that erases everything.

first just select the cell you want to format. then click that little arrow that i circled in the image. in the dropdown, just select "numerical system" and you should be good to go. you can add decimal places also in that same menu.
