Hi, I have a big problem that started today, since the beginning of the App Store i've had an iTunes Store account without any credit card or billing information.
I've always been able to download free apps without any payment information and since I don't live in the US I don't have a credit card to put into my account, the only solution I seem to have is to buy an iTunes gift card in the US and then i'll be able to download apps, but it's not that easy for me to but gift cards from the US since I currently don't live there.
Does somebody have the same problem or know what should I do?
Thanks in advanced.

This was a product that has been pretty secret - even though there have been rumors about it - for so long and it was such a monumental announcement that the families had to be there.

You will be constrained by the through-put of USB with an external drive VM.
That said, you could put a VM instance on an external drive and run it from there.
Alternately just store the VM on the external, and move it to the SSD when you need it.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate on a 9 gig VM using 512K of memory...so you may not need as much SSD space as you think.
Of course, gaming will change this pretty fast.

Windows 7 Home. I tried that resolution and got about 35 fps. I think I prefer the visuals at a slighty higher resolution and decent fps. Crysis 2 is easier to experiment with different resolutions than Metro 2033 ($10 on Steam!). Metro seems a little more challenging to find the right balance. I am not complaining at all considering I know my Air is not something for hardcore gaming, but I am always amazed how well it performs considering it's size and thiness.

I will never understand the need to get a MBA.
I didn't either until I got an MBA 11 and found I used it 10X more than my MBP.

If it's an apartment complex there's a good chance you won't have much of a choice when it comes to picking a provider. You're likely going to be in a situation where the apartment management has a deal with one provider and you pick whatever plan you feel like paying for.
Or make a deal with your neighbors and share their wireless network.

You missed the entire point.
If you are going to say that you know it is the phone over the carrier, you have to be able to have experienced other phones on that carrier to see if they have the same issues (Therefore it can't be the phone cause different phones still have the same issues) or you have to have used the same phone on Verizon and witnessed that the phone didn't have the same problems on Verizon.
Your experience had you using a different phone on Verizon than on AT&T and your only experience with AT&T being the iphone. Therefore the problem could be either the iphone or AT&T cause you have no basis of comparison to be able to pinpoint which is the problem!
And your experience with "other carriers" says nothing about AT&T (odd that you don't say they are experiences with AT&T... )
Didn't miss the point at all.
I've stood in several locations and observed Verizon phones make calls and non-verizon have no signal. Smart phone or not.
The carrier was the difference. Verizon is much better than other carriers in rural areas and low signal areas such as my basement office. Lots of people around this office with different model phones and carriers to observe.
Oh and I'm including ATT in "other carriers". So that is cleared up. ATT does not do as well as Verizon in rural areas and certain specific urban areas.
But if you live in an area with good ATT signal then no problem.
By the way I'm taking my free coupon into ATT this week to get the microcell. The reason being my home gets poor ATT signal. This wasn't the case with Verizon. More proof for you.
Overall my experience with ATT is good. I get by. I'm not bashing them. Just stating the facts. There are certain areas where I do miss having Verizon though.

The high price comes from the features like USB hard drive and printer sharing. So yes there are cheaper alternatives but you'd be hard pressed to find these features on other routers.
As for the update, I'm sure Apple will release an update. If not you will probably find the updater leaked to the net when the router starts shipping late next month.

I like the new design (but now the forum pages look outdated).
It's funny because I've been popping over here off and on for the past few hours in my surfing and just now the new design came up.
The first thing I was gonna ask was what the big empty space at the top of the first page was... then I remembered.

At first I thought you said "Pentium M 2.2 GHz," and I was like, "whoa. these people are only offering 100 bucks? It's worth like 700+ with mobo and proc." But then I saw that evil little number 4. Still, Chaintech at least makes good motherboards, and you could probably upgrade the processor on that to a faster one.

I had Googled for a Roman Numeral for "million" but came up unsatisfied.
According to what I remember and the sites I saw, to get Roman Numerals higher than Thousands(M), you would need to put a bar over the numerals, which effectively multiplies the numeral by 1000.
So instead of MMMMM, you could use a V-bar, such as:
_
V = 5,000
And for one million you'd have the following called an M-bar:
_
M = 1,000,000
Though I bet most people that see the icon would be like 'what in the...'

I think that's pretty normal. Apps just start to use more RAM the longer you keep them up, whether or not people admit it.
For example, after Safari is open for a couple weeks, it uses much more RAM. Of course a large part of that is me having 52 tabs open, but I notice that while Safari uses 1.66 GB now, restarting Safari completely (and restoring all of my tabs via the extension Glims), uses 1.01 GB of RAM. Clearly, having Safari open causes an accumulation of RAM. I don't know if this is because browsing various sites causes those sites to be stored in RAM at all (I always thought they were just stored in the cache however).
I've noticed this with other programs too, like iTunes and iChat. Opening iChat can use maybe 60MB and it can rise to 100MB. iTunes can rise from 60-70MB to around 100-130MB.
I don't notice a slowdown really, but that is because I have 8GB of RAM. Nevertheless, if the RAM usage is important to you, you can use some apps over others. I found Adium uses consistently less RAM than iChat. You can quit out of iTunes when you aren't playing music. I'm not sure about Chrome, but maybe closing tabs will reduce the RAM occupied by that tab since Chrome sandboxes each tab. Either way, I don't know if I blame Snow Leopard. Did this happen in Leopard at all? I just figure it's because of lazy application developers who use the wealth of RAM available on computers today to be lazy with optimizing performance and resource intensiveness.

That is kind of a silly statement.
What DVD Jon has done is made it possible for OTHER companies to get in on the action and offer content for US, the users of the iPod. I commend him and more importantly I look for other content that is better than 128 kbps and doesn't cost 99 cents per song.
If you want a song with better quality and is less than 99 cents then go somewhere else! Use a Zune with M$'s new online store.

Those are done with a background image:

The mouseover effect is using javascript to change the opacity of the image -- it makes it slightly more transparent (80% transparent), which gives the "lightening" effect. Nice little effect!
Just keep in mind as well that the transparency trick doesn't work in IE so make sure you have a fall back in those instances.

I have a 3rd Gen iPod Touch which I jailbroke at (4.0) with JailBreakMe.com from COMEX.
Recently I have been getting glitches, and crashes, I would like to update to 4.3.1
This is my first JailBroken device and I am just curious as to go about this safely.
What I thought to do is Restore my iPod in iTunes, Update it to the 4.3.1 Version and then run RedSnow on it. Is there more that I need to do?

I would have been 18 then. Was sleeping when it happened. I was called out of bed, and the TV was full blast. I think I started watching after the second plane hit. I was scheduled to work from 1:00 that day at my retail job (big-box office supply), but wasn't sure if I was even supposed to go in that day. I called in, was told that it was still on, so I headed to work. I remember walking to work and just looking up at the sky, expecting to see something as I lived by a busy international airport. Not a thing was in the sky.
When I got to work, you could just see the tension on everyone's faces. No need to ask if they had heard "the news". Our boss let us keep the TV on in the computer department that was normally used to repeat a video about a printer/scanner/fax machine.
We had almost no customers that day, and the ones that came in... it was hard to describe. It was almost like people knew that we were all together at a time like this - there was this unspoken bond between us all. I don't think we had a single rude customer that day. It was really just solemn.
I don't think I'll ever see a day quite like that ever again.
