I have a 120 euro gift certificate to this HUGE electronics/computer store but I dont know what to buy. Now all I want to know is if you were me what would you buy, nothing over 120(140 USD) euros is the only rule.

I just completed the same setup as you yesterday.
I had no problem moving my iTunes library (music, movies, etc.) to the HDD in the optibay and just pointing iTunes to the new location. Also, some Mac apps require that you install them on the system drive, but for the others, you can just move the app to the HDD and create an alias to that app to put in your applications folder on your SSD so it will act like any other app.
I don't think you will actually be able to delete your actual home folders from the SSD, but you can certainly store documents, etc. on you HDD.

Plus, when it comes to numbers, there is no room for error.
Excel truly is the standard in this case (actually doing a good job).
You trust Excel? (Or for that matter Mesa or Google Spreadsheets?)
Try this:
In a new spreadsheet, give the cell A1 the value of 0.2
In A2 enter the formula '=A1*6-1' (the calculated value will also be 0.2)
Then copy this formula to A3 down to ca A40.
For every cell you should get 0.2 as a result, since 0.2 (the result of the cell above) times 6 minus 1 is 0.2. Right?
Right? Try it in Excel, try it in Mesa, try it in Google Spreadsheets.
And then repeat after me:
"I will never again blindly believe in spreadsheet calculations"

I�m look for the best solution for a media centre and network, and I was hoping from some input from you guys.
I�n our place we have a macbook pro, mac mini, ipad and iphone. The mac mini is plugged in to the television in the living room and the macbook is in the office.
What I ideally want is 2 hard drives, 1 partitioned three ways, macbook time machine, mac mini time machine and the third partition as a media file server, the other hard drive to be a back up of this one. Then all the devices in the house will be able to view/use the media files over wireless from the same file server partition.
Initially I thought about just getting an airport extreme and connecting the hard drives to that.
But then I wasn�t sure if the ios devices would be able to read files from the hard drive, as for home sharing to work, they have to go through itunes don�t they? Or is it possible to do what I initially thought?
The other option I thought of was to use the mac mini as the hub, plug both hard drives in to that and then the ios devices would be able to read the media files through itunes home sharing.
What do you guys think?
Also, how would I go about continuously cloning the first hard drive to the second?

If you're a developer who needs to alter, update your code because of the new verision of OSX, its definitely worth it. If you're an apple fan wanting to play with the DP, then no its probably not worth paying the price for a developer's account with apple

That has got to be one of the most irrelevant features I have ever heard of. If there is some sort of Multi-Function device Apple is working on, I sure hope there are more OS X integration instances than iPhoto / Google GPS syncing.
Interesting, yes. Neat, yes. Useful... not really. Apple does have a tendency to turn what we usually see as irrelevant into something we almost nearly rely on (I can't imagine a week at work without my iPod).

T-Mobile has perhaps the worst cell system that I've ever seen. A friend of mine has a T-Mobile phone, I can rarely hear him for all the static in the line, he doesn't get to customize his voice mail greeting, the company itself is an economic shambles. This is the last group that Apple needs to ally itself with.

I'll be there as well! But not until about 5 or 6PM since I'm driving down from Idaho.
For those that get there early, keep us updated on the lines and stock!
You mean you'll be there at those times Friday or Thursday?

This has NOTHING to do with being out of contract. Please stop spreading this myth.
When you buy an iPhone you buy it WITH a two year contract. Whether you use it or other networks or not has nothing to do with ATT getting their subsidy money.
I remember researching this a while back. What the AT&T rep told me: if I bought an iPhone 4 and break the contract, I would have to pay:
(1) the ETF, as well as,
(2) the difference of the actual retail price of the phone (the "subsidy money")
And they still wouldn't unlock the phone.
Even if I bought a no-contract iPhone (pay AT&T's full retail "no commitment" price), they still wouldn't unlock it.
--
I didn't buy the iPhone 4 with those stipulations. I went to T-Mobile, got a Vibrant/Galaxy S, and they gladly unlocked after a month. No way I would pay the $20 USD per megabyte AT&T int'l roaming rate, and then have to chuck the phone once I moved back home for good.

It's a tough call - there's a lot of debate out there over this, and I'm not sure there's a definitive answer. My 0.02 - if it's a good quality print and you're happy with the price you paid - I wouldn't worry too much one way or the other. I don't think anyone can be completely certain unless they got the print directly from Apple.

had the screen do that funky line thing a couple times as well
Well there could be a few things going in here. I have to agree with the posts. I have owned an G3/500, 2 G3/900's and currently have a spec'd out G3/800. The biggest issues I have found with these laptops; 1.) The well documented video chip issue. Killed both of my 900's. The second is the pathetic plastics that line the case. But I digress, first things first the hard drive is indeed a pretty easy fix. You will need to get your hands on an ide hd, which are cheap as all get out. Look to www.newegg.com, www.computergeeks.com or whatever place you buy from. Second you will need the take-apart guide. Being that if you take your iBook into any MacStore they will laugh at you and take pity on a perfectly good mac that is not on par with a very fickle community.
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-iBook-G3-12-Inch-Hard-Drive/130/1
That is the guide for step-by-step. Not the easiest, but not all that hard, I would suggested using a digital camera to take pics along the way. And a handy tool is an egg carton to separate out the various screws.
Good luck, feel free to message me off list if you need any help.

Performance wise, probably not a huge difference other than it will be able to handle your tasks well. A SSD in your current machine would probably make a more significant difference, as was mentioned before, but do you want to throw money at a 2 year old machine? If you plan on keeping the thing until it dies, definitely worth the investment. If you plan on selling the current one to help finace the new computer, I wouldn't throw a dime into it. Just bite the bullet now with the new machine. I'd sell as soon as you get the new machine (or just before you get it) so you can get the most money out of your current computer.
As for the high tea anti glare, I actually prefer movies on the glossy screen but that is of course subjective. I'd say spring for it if you can, for resale if nothing else. More likely to sell and/or get an extra 50 or 100 bucks out of the eventual sale of the machine. People love anti glare screens!

You don't want to use sudo with MAMP's mysql. (the user "root" in mysql isn't the same thing as the user "root" in OS X, they just picked the same name to confuse everybody.)
Assuming you kept the MAMP defaults, use this command to do what you tried:
./mysqladmin -u root -p create databasename
When it prompts you for a password, that should also be root (use whatever password is shown when you open the start page from the MAMP control panel).
(You probably noticed from what I wrote above that MAMP is configured in a wildly insecure manner. It should only be used for development, it's not suitable for use on public networks!)
