I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but WoW has UI scaling under the video options. Try it out yourself to see resolution independant UI in action.

If you've see the keynote stream, then you'll of come across the part where Steve asked some of his employees (marketing, engineer etc..) to stand up and receive a round of applause.
I thought this was quite a nice gesture and it's the first time I have seen this from them.
Good things!! :claps:
Yes, it is a nice gesture-- especially when you imagine how hard of a guy Jobs is to work with/for. But I've seen him ask the crowd to give a hand for the hardworking folks in the trenches of Cupertino on at least 2 other occasions.

Can I redownload any TV Shows in 640x480 (crosses fingers) :p
B
That's what I've been hoping for ever since I downloaded the first TV shows on iTunes. 320x240 was not exactly fullscreen goodness even at 1024x768.

I thought "Commander And Chief" was terrible. Geena Davis has to be the worst actress on the face of the earth. The pace of the show was way too slow, the supporting cast was decent (they could have been much better), the story was OK. I thought the only good thing about the show was Donald Sutherland.

At the same time, more 'serious' games like Square's releases and the recent Death Rally, and many others seem to be doing well enough that people looking for that kind of content shouldn't be too worried. I just wouldn't expect, say, a full-blown Assassin's Creed or similar console game, because those are console games. I don't think nearly enough people want that kind of experience on a phone to justify the cost.
Well, be nice to have a portable version (doesn't have to be as deep or as many moves). You're right I don't need a full console version (or expect it cause I expect consoles to have more graphical ability and honestly, handhelds even with physical buttons are a compromise on good controls cause you still have to stick a display on your controller and can't shape it to be the ideal controller).
I have to admit I did enjoy Assassin's Creed on my iphone and mostly enjoyed Prince of Persia (Liked it better than AC but it has a huge flaw and I'm pretty sure the flaw has nothing to do with it being an iphone but the game itself, unless they allowed save points more often cause I think even if they implemented save points in certain areas that they didn't, it would at least make these parts of the game less annoying or at least dealable to get through to go back to the fun parts).
So even those games can be fun on the phone.

I also read that the Quad's failure rating is around 1 percent compared to the dual 2.5 from 2004 and dual 2.7 from early 2005 - am I correct?
Not correct at all. Even the most reliable G5 ever (dual 2.3) has a failure rate of 11%. The worst is the first gen. dual 2.0GHz at 32%. No G5 model could ever even dream of having a single digit failure rate.

Justification for DRM
I understand the need for DRM. Apple would never be able to sell us all that great music without the DRM. I have no problem with the DRM. I think it's fair. If I were an artist, I wouldn't want to make it so easy for people to freely distribute my music royalty-free. If a million people like my song enough to own a copy, then I should see a million payments on it. That's fair.
Not as good for Apple as it would seem
A long time ago, Jobs stated that the goal of the iTunes Music Store wasn't to turn a profit, but to market iPods. By providing a easy-to-use, cheap, legal way to sell iPod-compatible music, Apple is able to sell more iPods. It has clearly worked like a charm.
So you're asking "well, if other websites can sell iTunes-compatible DRM protected music, it will sell more iPods too, right?" Well technically yes; You're right. But let me ask you this; what separated the Apple User Experience from most? What sets Mac OS X apart from other OS's, or the iPod apart from other MP3 Players? What makes the iTunes Store so much more popular than any other online music service?
The answer: Approachability. A quick learning curve, ease of use, simplicity, elegance, suave, charm, style. Apple's core marketing gimmick, the reason Apple is still around today, the reason the Apple experience is unique is because Apple maintains strict control over their user's experience, and they make the experience as pleasant as possible. Forr example, it's one of the specific reasons Jobs cited for killing off the Apple-licensed clone machines (back in the day).
Now, we all know Real. I don't know many people who can honestly tell me that they've had an overall easy or pleasant experience with Real. Their software media player is nearly a trojan horse, their tech support is abysmal, their website is obnoxiously hideous, etc. And they're one of the better alternatives. If vendors other than Apple have the ability to peddle DRM-protected music for the iPod, then Apple loses a bit of control over the iPod User Experience.
It might get ugly
Suddenly vendors start changing the rules, right under Apple's nose. Instead of the simple .99 pricing, maybe it's tiered pricing, arbitrarily set up by the folks in charge to make an extra buck, but it confuses/aggrivates the end-user. (and maybe record labels like the better bottom-line & start selling exclusively with Vendor B rather than Apple, thus the Music Store loses marketability). There's no quality-control. Vendors can start ripping less-than perfect copies of the music (or worse, music laced with ads!), market it as "ipod compatible" unsuspecting users buy it & the iPod experience diminishes. In short, Apple loses control.
I've been an Apple user since childhood. I've followed the company closely. I can tell you one thing with certainty. They do not like to lose control of their end-user experience.
DVD Jon may think he's doing us all a favor, and maybe in a shortsighted way he is, but ultimately he's spoiling Apple's marketing strategy & thus risking the iPod's position as the top MP3 Player in market share. The DRM isn't his to license. Hopefully his scheme will be fruitless.

The VPN server is an AVM 7270 router/modem/voip box.
So you think she has to manually connect to the ip adress of my MacPro to be able to download files remotely?
How would I do this? Is it done in Finder somewhere?
In the Finder:
Menu Bar > Go > Connect to Server > Mac Pro IP or what ever the name of your machine is called Mac-Pro.local
And your done, might even bookmark it if you use it often.

I got a deal from DreamHost that TOTALLY sounded to be good to be true. They are an awesome company, though and have the greatest support. PM me for more details.
Don't waste your time PMing someone about Dreamhost... people talk about how awesome their service is all the time and all over the web. Dreamhost is rapidly becoming very popular because they are :
1- Cheap
2- Responsive to problems and very knowledgeable
3- Offer LOTS of good stuff
4- Always giving you more good stuff (like upping bandwidth and hard disk space)

Disc 1 should have the Core OS on it.. or at least it did with 10.2 and 10.3. If you select none of the other options (printer drivers, xcode, etc...) you should be able to install OS X + BSD subsystem with only disc 1.

I bought my 13-inch MBA back in the winter and it's the best notebook I have ever used.
I say it's a notebook because it doesn't feel like a netbook. It's got a big trackpad, a full-size keyboard, a gorgeous high-DPI display, it's super thin. And it runs Logic Express smooth as silk. A netbook can't do those things.

I need a firewire DVD R/W as, in case of need, I could do the boot by means of it, as my Mac mini is a PowerPC one (I read that only Intel Mac can boot by means of USB optical drives).
By the way, what do you think about the Hamlet HEXD5UA-D DVD R/W ? It has both firewire and usb.
