I like the idea behind it, with the spinning beach ball. The Flash logo is too obscured, though.
yeah, i turned the opacity down on the beach ball so the flash icon is more visible + changed a pit on the end :D

If it is any consolation to those who don't have an Apple store, I live in Melbourne where we have two (and an other one coming soon?) and I've never been there.
There are Apple specialists all over the place - they're just as good, just no fancy interiors.

if you open them in notepad they're somewhat readable, although they have a bunch of extra stuff in 'em.

I think it should come back. I played with the new nano, and while it's pretty cool, that's just not big enough for a touch screen. It's pretty awkward to navigate, isn't super intuitive, and scrolling through a list of artists sucks. Whereas, the click wheel made for fast and intuitive navigation, while being more comfortable to hold, and you could even watch video on it.

However, in many ways, the metric of how many times someone gets a rumour 'right' just isn't that important to a large proportion of forum members, especially many long term members who have their own ideas about who is worth listening to on any given topic or not. Many of them might read the news threads to find out what's going on and what people are thinking, but rarely participate in the scrum.
I think it could be somewhat analogous to member titles based on a user's total number of posts. Most people probably don't care what their title is. Some people will take "newbies" less seriously than others.
In either case, member titles, avatars, and join dates are form of recognition for members of the forum. Points could be used in much the same way. Just like member titles, some people won't care what points a poster has and others will. Perhaps the term "Reputation" isn't the best. Maybe "Rumor Rank" or something (or "Gullibility" :D).
In other words, the intent is to award a specific recognition for members (that want to participate). Just like member titles are known to be based on total posts, this would be known to be based on 'rumor' stories. I didn't really mean a system to rate a user's general contribution to the site. What I meant by "giving weight to user's opinions" was just in context of discussing rumors. For example, given the track record of Kevin Rose and John Gruber - when both weigh in on an rumor, which are you more likely to believe?
Besides, many news articles may not be about rumours but instead might be about actual substantiated news, so it would seem pointless to employ opinions on these as meaning anything useful. Someone voting on whether a OS release is a good or bad idea hardly qualifies them to get a higher ranking than someone who doesn't vote.
Right; news items wouldn't be appropriate to include a vote. By the same token, some rumor items could have multiple votes. Let's take one of the recent stories, for example. iPad 2 with High Resolution Screen and SD Card Slot, iPhone 5 with A5 Processor? (http://www.macrumors.com/2011/01/14/ipad-2-with-high-resolution-screen-and-sd-card-slot-iphone-5-with-a5-processor/) There's essentially three major features up for discussion:
1) Will the iPad 2 have an SD slot?
2) Will the iPad 2 screen have a greater resolution than the current iPad?
3) Will the iPhone 5 be a dual-mode CDMA/GSM model?
Out of the 346 posts, 21% of them either directly said aspects of the rumor were true/false or posted with the assumption that it was true/false (that includes you up there, Apple OC ;)) The percentage of unique members making such a post is higher because many of them posted several times in the thread, obviously not saying what they believed of the rumor every time.
How many of these particular posters are likely to be interested in some kind of poll/vote which can potentially earn them a badge or point for their profile? Of all the other posters that discussed the rumor without saying they believed it or not, how many of them may be interested in voting on the rumor for fun?
It difficult to say how broad interest in something like this is, but I don't think it's insignificant. Currently there are awards based on seniority/posting history: avatars, member titles, forum access, etc. Since a large portion of the website is rumor-centric; having a rumor-centric award system could be a popular addition.
What if there are currently no technical means to retrospectively award 'points' to almost half a million members? Is this where Arn and co should be spending limited time and resources to develop this system or would attention be better spent elsewhere on other forum and site features?
That's certainly is a concern. I'm also aware that forum software is basically a package deal and it could be difficult to add. I have, however, used several forums that use point-based system for members. One gaming forum in particular works in basically the same way as this system would work: members have points that they can use to vote on who they think will win a match. If they are right, they are awarded points; if they are wrong, they lose points.
Also, enabling contributors to clear their slate for $25 per year would make the idea of a reputation system completely redundant, how would you know who to trust?
Hopefully I have explained what system I imagine a little bit better. Contributors being able to clear their points would be more analogous to being able to use the "MacRumors Demi-God" member title.

Am I the only one that misses the old Aqua Apple site/vision?
Everything to 10.4 was colourful, shiny and looked great :cool:
Then again I'm still rocking Panther so :D

It's a black wallpaper that I've seen on many iPhone apps and applications on OSX.
It has somewhat of a cross patching
Do you know what I'm talking about?

You need to be jailbroken to install this. The easiest way would be to install in through iTunes by dragging the .ipa (second download link) into your Apps section and then syncing through iTunes, but you'll need AppSync to do this which requires JB. :mad:
That's what I was afraid of!:(
Dammit we need an ipad 2 jailbreak already!

I just put a max (1 gig) ram upgrade in my computer from Viking (Viking Part Number: MPG4/1GBDS) and I was looking around at some other posts here and was wondering if you all thought this was a good choice? Now I am wondering due to some of the other posts on this board. Its for the ibook in my sig. Thanks. :D
Kinda impossible to tell from here, but...
Did the vendor guarantee compatibility with your Model Mac? Does it have a lifetime manufacturer's warranty? Does it work in your machine? If so, don't worry, be happy.

Hey guys,
I'm not sure if this is a bad trade to ask about. But I have this for trade:
Powerbook 15''
Revision D
CDBurner
80GB HD
1GB Apple Memory
Incase Powerbook bag
I'm looking for any kind of Powermac G5, and maybe a 17 inch plastic apple flat panel (for added cash?)....
Let me know. I'm up for offers.
Thanks,
Cole

I read in the National Enquirer while standing in line at the Safeway that Obama is gay and had an affair with Colin Powell.
Now everyone's freaking out over the "news" from the National Enquirer Steve Jobs dying in 6 weeks?
Are. You. ****ing. Kidding. Me?!
Un-****ing-believable.

The cheapest and simplest thing to do would be to buy a 6G, take it apart and put the innards in the 5.5G case.
It wouldn't surprise me if even things like the touch wheel and display are different between generations.
