I\m going to have to settle on the Matte MacBook Pro since the glossy one is made-to-order and takes 6 weeks for delivery.

Press and hold the little reset button on the back with a pin for about five seconds, until the light on the front blinks amber. Try reconnecting.
Transmission is such an excellent application. It's the hallmark of good application design. If it weren't for Transmission and Mac OS X, I could never have explained to my newbie Mac using relatives how to use BitTorrent over the phone. You just drag the download link into its window and it adjusts the window to accommodate your download, starts downloading it and shows you the speeds in the Dock -- and, to top it off, it stays in the background the entire time, never once stealing focus. It's an absolute pleasure to use.
That's how Mac applications are supposed to behave. They let you do your thing. They get out of your way. I'm using Windows right now and every ten minutes or so, even with no applications running (except for iTunes), something or the other steals the focus and I have to click on Safari's tab in the taskbar again to make it come to the foreground -- Adobe Updater or anti-virus software or this or that. I would choose Transmission over any other torrent client on any platform any day of the week, and twice on Sundays. It's A.W.E.S.O.M.E!!
Dude, I'm telling you, you may be using a Mac but you're a Windows user at heart. You love all those advanced, complicated settings and stuff. You won't get that on Mac applications, I'm sorry.

Yeah, I use that setup when I need to do some sneaky ratio boosting and it works like a charm. It's a little tricky to set up though. I'm not sure you'll be able to do it...
Ah, it's in the works. We actually already have some amazing articles, reviews and shootouts prepared but there are some stupid holdups. I'm thankful to you for awaiting it so eagerly. We're trying to launch it as fast as we can. A little patience is all we ask for.
Congratulations! You're lucky. Matte screens rule. I only wish I had that option for my iMac.

We have one netgear router here which wasn't sufficient to support WiFi in the whole house so we installed 4 access points to boost the range of WiFi.Unfortunately,Internet is running very sluggishly on iMac dunno why.Would adding TC to the network help?Of yes,how?I have a 1M unlimited connection and I am getting only half the speed on my iMac while through Ethernet port on my PC I am getting almost 1.2Mbps.Help!

Wow! Four access points! Dude, you could just have gone out and bought one (or maybe two) AirPort Express units and used them to extend the Time Capsule's network. Why bother with Netgear and everything?
Anyway, I'm no whiz at networking. Maybe someone else could shed some light...

That is why I said transmission sucks.I was getting less than half my total bandwidth.

I was suddenly in a generous mood today and had made up my mind that I would donate about Rs. 500 to the iPhone DevTeam. I looked all over the place on their website and couldn't find a single link to PayPal. And then this is what I ran into on their blog.
This is something I have promised to myself -- that I will never ever except donations for anything I do in my life. But I'd never expected it from a bunch of hackers sitting all over the world funding all of this themselves and distributing it for free. They can easily charge a very minimal amount for the software and/or ask for donations and make a truckload of dough. I mean, which iPhone buyer wouldn't pay for the privilege of being able to use it in any country on any carrier and install all of those applications?
And yet, they have such high morals. I truly respect them, and their dedication and determination has strengthened my own resolve.

Aayush, you like matte screens? I thought glossy was more popular..
I installed ipod touch 2.0 software. I had to pay $10 USD. I downloaded a number of apps. And I love it!
Is it a good idea to partition my HD? I did that on my almost-broken PC and it seemed to organize and free some space for my system.

Creating a new partition is pretty easy on Mac but I don't see any good reason for doing so in Mac. Partitioning is a good idea when it comes to Windows not the case with Mac and Linux.
Does the EP630 fit in iPhone audio jack ??

no.all headphones have a 3.5mm 3pin connector while iphone audio jack/headphone are 4pin one.the forth pin is for the mic.

No, you're absolutely wrong. Standard 3.5mm headphones fit the iPhone's headphone jack just fine. The only problem is that, in the original iPhone, the jack itself is recessed into the body and most headphones therefore need an adapter to plug into it. But the jack itself works with any standard 3.5mm headphone.

it isnt recessed.its the 4pin that pushes the audio part in.adapter does the same thing-cuts the mic interface.

iPhone 3G will allow any headphone in its jack. I was curious to know if iPhone will allow EP630 or not, as I plan to buy EP630 in a week.

Yesterday I was getting stupid speeds of 60-70kBps but now after connecting Time Capsule to the nearest access pint through ethernet and creating a new 5Ghz network I am getting 150+ kBps speeds on my 1 M unlimited connection.Hey it is reaching 200 now!200+ now!WTF!The netgear router is running at 2.4 Ghz and so are the access points.Will TC give me a 5Ghz network?Whatever ,I am getting 200 kBps speeds.I am supposed to get 120kBps or os on this conn but this is insane!
But the Airport card is burning,fuggin 62 C!
