The bastages wont let it run on iOS 4.01 - I need to wait for the 4.1 jailbreak first.

We've been fortunate and most of our family members who developed cancer have had successful cures, with good lives post treatment! (my brother, my grandfather, my wife's mom). My uncle however spent a few painful months dying of prostate cancer, and I spent several months in my pediatric residency working with children with cancer and leukemia at Texas Children's Hospital. It was heartbreaking most of the time. So I got in on this raffle on the first day it started to help out, even though I'm sure Collin will win.

Is it possible to add the option for a daily digest notification of subscribed threads, instead of an individual email for each and every subscribed thread? I recently changed my settings from "Immediate" notification to "Daily" notification, and now I get sent 15-20 emails at 10:02PM each night, instead of spread out throughout the day. I did this to reduce the number of emails I get, not just to change the time that they arrive. I looked through the settings and didn't see a daily digest option. Thanks!

I've been waiting for that to come out. I read about it in Jack's newsletter. Thanks!

Well, it as great for auto-crossing/racing, but not so much fun on the street with all the road noise and bumpy ride. I've been driving Subaru cars since 2000, when I put an aftermarket turbo kit on an Impreza RS (before WRX came out I already had 240hp). Still have a 2005 Impreza RS which almost handles like my 2004 STI but with half the power. I'd really like an Audi S4 but can't afford one.

Radio Shack is unloading some 32gb 3rd Gen Touch for only $180 if they have any left. Our local one still does. As for DAC, how about a uDAC-2 or Pico DAC-only, which both have convenient RCA outputs?

I love fast cars. I had to sell my STI in 2006, but now my wife might finally let me buy another one in 6 months when the lease on her car is up. Here with snowy winters I have to stick with something practical, and I can't afford an S4.

Thanks! "Mail 4.3" was set as the default, which was the right one. Instead of changing it to AOL or something else just now, I chose "select" and went to the apps folder and selected Mail again. It still shows Mail 4.3 as the default, but now Safari can properly open mail to email links and pages. i didn't realize that simply changing it back to itself could make it start working.

Well, I just noticed a new email problem, which is strange because I did a clean install of OSX a couple of months ago, and migrated my old apps and data using the installer. Email works fine, but Safari can't find it. [EDIT - just noticed the alert is semi-transparent and you can see that I was looking at a post by "The Monkey" when I caught that snapshot yesterday]

Nice. We're still using a 60" 720p rear projection LCD Panasonic from 2005. Can't see being able to upgrade for a while, but maybe after tax refund time in the spring. Please let us know later how you like this one.

Wayne Newton - really nice down to earth guy, was a friend of my grandmother (who would always get comped a room at Ceasars Palace). We visited his home once in 1984, he had lot's of peacocks (the bird kind). Allan Alda - polite and quiet, but shaking hands with him was like holding a limp fish. Yuck. I was taken to the set of MASH in 1979 by a friend of my grandmother who worked at the studio. Jaimie Farr - funny guy even off screen, strong handshake.

Clone your HD to a bootable external HD. Boot from external drive to test that it's good, because you may someday have to boot from it and use it if your computer HD dies. Shut down and boot from OSX installer DVD, wipe internal HD clean and install fresh OSX onto internal drive. It helps to have the external drive already plugged in so when OSX installer asks if you want to migrate from another computer you can say yes. Choose the external drive with your clone on it. (you can probably also do this with a time machine backup). If you select the right options it will then import all your apps and user data from the external drive, but not the old itunes or any old bad system software (as the fresh system install will have newer files it wont overwrite, just not always the newest version). When you reboot from the fresh internal HD, you should be okay to run "system update" to get everything back to the most recent version of the apps. Do this update BEFORE you try to run an old version of mail or itunes app that can't read the newer data files. (for instance, my OSX will install 10.6.0 and my data from the newer apps can't be opened until I update)

Maybe you could into gmail from your web browser, and see if there is an unusually large email with attachment that you can delete from there.

I think you still did pretty well with that combo, which is better than most portable rigs and can drive full size phones well too.

n3rdling, nice writeup. I posted similar impressions myself.

So, that means you did try creating a new library before plugging in a device? I'm still surprised the detailed removal of iTunes, followed by a fresh install didn't work. Maybe it's time to visit an Apple Genius Bar?

What happens if you create a new iTunes Library and put a few songs in it, and then try to sync as a test? (if this works, your old library is hosed). You may be able to re-create your library by importing the iTunes Music Library.xml or iTunes Library.xml file into the new iTunes library, but you may have to drag all your music to the new library and make your playlists from scratch instead.

You may have to do a more complete uninstall and reinstall. It's actually a fairly complicated process. I got this from Apple -> Before beginning, please back up your iTunes library as explained here: How to back up your media in iTunes How to back up your media in iTunes To uninstall iTunes, please follow the steps in this article: Removing iTunes for Mac OS X Removing iTunes for Mac OS X After you've uninstalled iTunes and removed the related files, you will need to reinstall it. You can download the latest version free of charge from the iTunes website: Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now After you've reinstalled iTunes, please ensure you have the latest version of QuickTime installed. You can find the latest version here: Apple - QuickTime - Download

On a low budget I really like the Nuforce uDAC-2 24/96 USB DAC, with RCA line-out and RCA S/PDIF out. It's also powered by the USB port, and has a decent headphone out. The volume knob adjusts the RCA output levels, but you can just set the output level and leave it alone while it hides in the cabinet with the Mini.

The Duet is a nice DAC to pair with an amp, and it can do 24/96 via FireWire. But you wont be able to use it with a DVD or CDP and other digital sources (Wadia, Apple TV or Airport Express). I would also consider the Apogee mini-DAC (with firewire or USB) or a Stello DA100 for only a little higher budget. I haven't heard the Northstar so I can't comment on that one.

I use software from aTV Flash -- The Ultimate AppleTV Enhancement that allows plugging in a huge external USB drive to expand the Apple TV storage. I used a 500Gb external drive with my 30Gb Apple TV until the thing died after 3.5 years. I have not needed to install ATVFlash on my remaining 160Gb ATV, but it should work. Some places can simply install a bigger drive right inside the ATV if you want. I still have a working 160 Gb Apple TV and I'm okay with the amount of storage. You can get about 500 albums in Apple Lossless onto one. You can use the Apple TV 160Gb as a stand alone music and video player controlled by the little Apple remote, and the interface is easy to use. But you still have to use a computer with iTunes to load most of the content onto it, and also to back up movies and TV shows that you buy through the Apple TV. If you don't sync it with iTunes and you buy videos through the ATV, then if the ATV dies you can't retrieve your purchases. I have never tried to buy music on the Apple TV, and don't think it supports that. The newest Apple TV only streams music and video from a computer or the internet with no storage, which I think is a mistake. I might end up buying a second 160Gb model before they are all gone. You can use an iPod Touch or iPhone to control the Apple TV, so it can be used without a monitor or TV to serve music to your stereo system. The Squeezebox touch with USB hard drive still sounds like a reasonable alternative to the 160Gb Apple TV.

The HE-6 is less bright than the original HE-5, but brighter than the HE-5 LE - with treble on a similar level to the HD800 but without the 6K peak. Bass is a bit stronger than the HD800.
