Most of my songs are over the 5 minute mark. Then I completely blow that away with a 20 minute version of Moby Dick from the Led Zeppelin DVD. Or, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. Or a two-hour trance mix from Oakenfold. I've found I just have to limit my playlists on my iPod by MB rather than time.
$80 for an AC adapter is actually a pretty small cost of a several thousand dollar computer (nearly $4000 in the case of my old Pismo).
Wear and tear is one thing, actually being able to show thinks like arcing inside the cable is another. As far as I'm concerned, power adapters aren't and shouldn't be considered consumables like batteries.
Good luck. It wouldn't hurt to at least try to get a replacement while you've still got AppleCare.
Uh, Gb stands for Gigabit, not Gigabyte. Big difference there.
Next time you get into a mini flamewar, make sure you get your acronyms correct. The original poster was correct in his 1G acronym. That means 1st generation. Don't insert a "B" where there is none.
I, too, have been bitten by crappy AC adapters. I went through two with my old Pismo PowerBook - I could see arching through the translucent cable, and then eventually that one just stopped working. The other one that died was very similar. AppleCare is your friend... it really could save your bacon in cases like this.
MadsonLine sells aftermarket power adapters for Apple laptops that look to be a bit beefier than Apple's. I have no experience with them, so I'm not so sure.
The only states I know of without sales tax are Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon. Here in Seattle, I get charged 8.6% sales tax and Apple's been really good about collecting it. Is your iTunes account billing address in one of those sales tax free states?
iTMS doesn't charge sales tax? You're mistaken. I get charged for sales tax every time I purchase a song from iTMS. It's been that way since it launched.
TINA FEY: Paris Hilton's name has been on everyone's lips these past few weeks. Here now in an exclusive interview with Jimmy Fallon is Paris Hilton. JIMMY FALLON: Thanks for coming on. As we agreed, we won't be discussing the scandal that's been in the papers these past couple weeks. We just want to find out about you, Paris Hilton. So, your family, the Hiltons, own hotels all over the world, right? PARIS HILTON: Yes, they're in New York, London, Paris. FALLON: Oh wait, so there actually is a Paris Hilton? PARIS: Yes, there is. FALLON: Is it hard to get into the Paris Hilton? PARIS: Actually, it's a very exclusive hotel, no matter what you've heard. FALLON: I hear the Paris Hilton is very beautiful. PARIS: I'm glad you've heard that. FALLON: Do they allow double occupancy at the Paris Hilton? PARIS: No. FALLON: Is the Paris Hilton roomy? PARIS: It might be for you, but most people find it very comfortable. FALLON: I'm a VIP. I may need to go in the back entrance. PARIS: It doesn't matter who you are. It's not gonna happen. FALLON: Fair enough. Now, I throw a lot of events. Do they have a ballroom there? PARIS: We do. FALLON: Great. I'd love to have my balls held by the Paris Hilton. Sounds awesome. I'd like to check into the Paris Hilton. PARIS: I don't think you can. FALLON: Really? Cause I'll only be able to stay there like a minute and a half, two minutes tops. PARIS: Good luck. FALLON: Paris Hilton, everybody.
Sorry, the iPod uses 1.8" hard drives made by Toshiba, like this one. They're not cheap. At the time they were first released as a 5GB model they were nearly as expensive as the 5GB iPod itself.

I don't know about the rest of you, but why put so much emphasis on the $2 service fees? Why not go after the bigger costs in life - mainly rent/mortgage? You can escape the cost of your cell phone, cable, and other communication services, but you really can't escape the cost of living somewhere. I'm no economist, but isn't that partially where a lot of the high cost of services elsewhere come from?
That raises an interesting question. Will this new file system offer any improvement over other file systems, and will it or won't it be excruciatingly slow?
It'll be fast enough. That's simply because by the time it makes it to market, machines will be much faster than they are now. This is why it's 4 years away (or so we're told).
Being serious and having the cash to plunk down for multi-drive arrays are two separate things. Having one large, fast drive defragmented is often times enough for a hobbyist, or less-than-wealthy artist working out of a home studio.
Fragmentation is a very real problem for people who need lots of contiguous free space, especially those working with multitrack audio and video files. They can't have drive heads searching around a drive for free blocks of space when they could be writing linearly.
Even with this file defragmenter built-in, a drive defragmenter is still needed for certain types of users.
I have one of the new PowerBooks. I also have Apple's CHUD (Computer Hardware Understanding Development) tools. When I run the Hardware PreferencePane, what is reported is 7457, not 7447.
Since when do you believe what you see on MacRumors?
The new PowerBooks use the MPC7457. Apple's CHUD tools report it as a 7457, and I have a 15" AlBook to prove it:-)
I think it was probably just easier for Apple to shoehorn the older 12"/17" PowerBook design (with the MPC7445 (or are they using the MPC7455?) into the iBook's case, where you've got a little bit more space for cooling.
Frequently, after an OS X update, files in ~/Library/Caches get deleted, including any custom file -> app bindings you've created. You'll just need to Get Info, Expand Open with, choose your app, and then Change All...
Apple's techinfo library site isn't much better, for searching for software. It's gotten better than it used to be, but I usually just stick to MacUpdate or VersionTracker. They're usually very quick to keep track of all software updates.
Hey buddy, don't drink all of the kool-aid! There's more of us here that you should share it with!;-)
Seriously, though, Software Update on OS X is loads better than it was on OS9. It was a pig back then - laggy, freezy, crashy. Windows Update in those days was lots better, sad to say.

Hopefully this link will work a little better.

Here's a screenshot I took from my 15" 1.25GHz PowerBook.
No, you are incorrect.

Same here - 4 different Macs running normally with 10.2.8:
- Original clamshell iBook (G3/500)
- Year 2000 PowerBook (Firewire)
- 2x867MHz G4 MDD PowerMac
- 2x1.42GHz G4 MDD PowerMac
Of course, all of these machines are running either wirelessly or on a 100BaseT switched network, so the main network problems wouldn't affect them.
The only thing I've noticed that's different in 10.2.8 is that the keyboard/mouse preference panes have been combined into one preference pane.
Apple's techinfo library site isn't much better, for searching for software. It's gotten better than it used to be, but I usually just stick to MacUpdate or VersionTracker. They're usually very quick to keep track of all software updates.
Could've been one of the newer 17" PowerBooks. Those do come with 10.2.7.

Seriously, though, Software Update on OS X is loads better than it was on OS9. It was a pig back then - laggy, freezy, crashy. Windows Update in those days was lots better, sad to say.
Apple usually puts the combo updater and standalone installer up on their support site a day after the software update package comes through.
For those who have problems with the update, running the combo updater frequently fixes them.
And, don't forget to repair permissions with Disk Utility after installing this update!
