I don't know what it is, but your computer looks gorgeous there!

It's great having space to burn - 160GB was pretty cramped with all of my videos on it.

nice...I've been trying to figure out how to download videos from like youtube and other misc. sites...how the heck on a mac? I downloaded them on a PC but only in that .flv extension so I can't view them in like quicktime or media player...thanks for any info

Did you register for $15?

Yeah, I forgot to mention it's shareware. Even though I don't use it that much, I felt $15 was a reasonable price for it's ease of use. I'm pretty sure there are alternatives out there if you don't want shareware. Maybe someone else will chime in.

If you use Firefox (I prefer Safari) I believe there's an extension for it that lets you get video from YouTube and other sites. Not sure what it's called, though.

I'm shocked to see so many people using the Mighty Mouse, particularly the wireless one. Here it costs £49.99 and I think it's probably one of the worst products Apple has EVER made. When it's not struggling to track where you want the cursor to be it's getting confused between left and right clicks and it all feels very, very cheap and horrible to me.

Logitech have a slew of better products on the market, as do Microsoft! Mice with a proper shape and real working buttons that don't get confused, no matter how many times you press them!

Sorry, I just really hate to see an awful product doing well. Perhaps if people stopped buying them then Apple would think about their mistake and put the person who worked on the wonderful new keyboards into the mouse team.

Well, that's your opinion then. I certainly like the mighty mouse more than those pseudo ergonomical shaped crap. After working with the mm for 8-10 hours my hand doesn't hurt. To each their own I guess. ;)

i love my wireless mighty mouse. its comfortable, sleek, responsive, works perfect on my wooden desk and uses one AA battery per month. it never has trouble doing right clicks. the only drawback if you have to lift your left finger to right click. you find yourself getting used to this in no time though and passing on this habit to other mice too.

i cant live without the scroll ball click programmed to exposé and the squeeze for spaces. if i use another mouse on a PC i find myself squeezing and pressing down the scroll wheel franticly realising im not holding my MM. its a great mouse and i expect it to work and it has been for 8 months. you obviously had a faulty one and you could of got it replaced.

For what it's worth - one could be built or rigged with a trip to Ikea, and buying some multi color LEDs. (If you're not afraid to Solder, even cheaper)

They are nice - but knowing there is 10 bucks worth of LEDs in that - kinda makes the price sting a bit too much for me.

Here - Hit Up Ikea - grab whatever Lamp suits your fancy, then hit Think Geek for these to stuff in it. Likely will be nicer (more options design wise), and cost a fraction of the complete unit.

I think the thinkgeek route is a better route. Although those lights are sexy. I wish I could put LEDs in my HK soundsticks!

I haven't posted any recent pics of my setup since I bought a dock for my 4th Gen. iPod, so here's an updated pic. For some reason, it turned out a bit crappy, but oh well:

Personally, I use http://www.zamzar.com/.

It's pretty user-friendly and does not require you to download any program or pay a fee.

What are you talking about? It's a widescreen movie from his widescreen MBP. :rolleyes: at you.

It is a widescreen image, letterboxed to 4:3, and then said 4:3 image is streched to 16:9...

andyfordays has his set displaying the movie like the first image.

The correct way of displaying it, is to tell the source that you have a 16:9 set, then you will have a bigger picture, less bars, more resolution, and most importantly, the correct aspect ratio.
