Message-ID: <16e20a2b0811060712l7b098bb1w1e046ca0d743ac48@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I'm thinking about my next laptop and considering moving from a PC to
a Mac. It's a large investment though, especially if I find out I
don't like OSX. Regardless, the biggest thing holding me back is the
fear I won't be able to play PC games on it (Mostly I only care about
Diablo III -- its not as if I'll be playing the latest 3d shooters on
it).

The review below claims that the macbook pro runs PC games faster than
a windows PC? Does that seem even plausible? Do you think they were
running the game under Phusion perhaps?

Is there anyway to try before you buy with a mac?

Yes. As with all of Blizzard Entertainment's recent releases, Diablo
III will ship for both Windows and Mac simultaneously.

If you don't like OS-X, install the OS of your choice on Mac.  They're an Intel chipset, so run 
whatever you'd like.

I've heard before that the fastest hardware for running Windows is the Mac hardware -- it was a big 
advertising thing that Apple did for a while.

You're probably seeing the trailing end of the most recent MacBook Pro release adoption now, but 
what I did was wait for a new release of the MacBook Pro line and then pick up a previous-generation 
MacBook Pro from someone upgrading.  I got mine for a song (relatively), because there was a guy on 
Craig's List who bought his new MBP with his credit card and was paying 20% interest, so he needed 
to unload his old one to cut into his credit card payment.

Hi,

I have a new MacBook Pro, but haven't tried any games on it.  You can  
use Boot Camp, install XP  and play games on there.  I've had no  
issues running games like that.  You do have to boot out of OSX, so  
keep that in mind.  As a PC user who switched to a Mac about 2 years  
ago, I say don't wait another minute!

I believe the claims about running windows faster is based on using  
Bootcamp, not a virtualized environment. Yes, very possible  
considering the optimized/custom arch of a mac, but I'm no hardware  
engineer.

Thanks for the info!

It looks like with the availability of bootcamp and fusion I can't
really go wrong. I can use my old windows software when I need to. Off
to check my credit card balance...

I apologize If I'm pushing things to far off topic for the mailing
list, but I had another quick question:

What is the typical product release cycle for Mac Books? When will
Apple release an updated version? I would hate to drop down cash for
one now and find out Apple is releasing a newer one a month or two
later.

Apple just release the new MacBooks, so I doubt you'll see anything
new in their laptop pipeline for at least 6 months or so.

Their upgrades seem pretty quiet, but 2-3 times a year seems to be the 
norm.  However, even 1-2 year-old Macs still perform very well, so I 
wouldn't worry.

Apple just released new MacBooks and MacBook Pros about three weeks  
ago, and it's a significant departure from the previous architecture.  
You are in little danger of missing anything new for some period of  
months (six to eight). Apple has _also_ said they aren't announcing  
new products until after Christmas (read, Macworld Expo in Jan.) iMacs  
and the Mac mini are the currently _speculated_ items for refresh then.

Still, it's worth asking, if you need the machine now, is it worth  
trying to wait out one more upgrade cycle?

Very helpful everyone thanks! Probably I wouldn't want to wait for the next
update if it's so far off, especially if I'm only three weeks "behind"
the latest.

IIRC, Mac Mini has been on the speculated list for years.

The recent updates did not include the 17" Macbook Pro. If you are looking at that size, you might consider waiting.

One thing to consider is the impending MacWorld in January. I doubt  
the new MacBook will get an update there, but I bet we'll see a new  
MacBook Pro 17 and perhaps a price drop on all other laptops. I  
believe rumor holds an ultra-portable may be debuted -- something  
below a laptop, but bigger than an iPhone. There is also rumor of the  
iPhone Nano. Check the Mac rumor sites for more info. Chances are if  
you buy a new MacBook now with lots of memory, you won't really need a  
new computer for two years or more.

Buy a Mac. You won't regret it. I just upgraded my Macbook Pro to the  
brand new model yesterday and I'm loving it. The buttonless trackpad  
was a bit odd at first, but since I typically use tap-to-click it  
wasn't really an issue.

 There's a page that lists all of Apple's products and the dates when
new models are likely to be released so that you can time your
purchases:

 http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/

 Apple just updated the entire laptop line, so we probably won't see
any substantial changes for about a year. (Other than the already
promised 17" version of the new MacBook Pro.)

I really want to see empirical evidence of statements like  
"unreliable" or "doesn't scale" vs. something that's much more  
defendable like, "doesn't meet my needs" or "I found the experience  
frustrating." Much less confrontational. It makes me happy when you're  
able to disprove blanket statements.

Cheers,

Nathan

Subject: [sils-students] Invitation: Guest Lectures on Work, 
Organization and Action
To: SILS Open Student List <sils-students at listserv.unc.edu 
<mailto:sils-students at listserv.unc.edu>>


Please feel free to forward as appropriate:

What:  Guest Lectures on Work, Organization and Action in INLS 490

Where: 307 Manning Hall

When: Monday, November 24, 6-8:30PM

Our guests for November 24 will be:

    * Brian Russell, founder of Carrboro Coworking.
    * Dave Johnson of Sun Microsystems, Roller Weblogger, BarCampRDU and
the Apache Software Foundation.
    * Wayne Sutton of SocialCarolina, 30Threads and BarCampRDU.
    * Abe Crystal, who recently defended his Ph.D. and is working on a
startup named Ruzuku.

All of these guests are leveraging new media and technologies in their
work.  Brian's work with Carrboro Coworking is addressing a very real
new-economy need - creating collaborative spaces for creative work.  Dave
works virtually and physically with many different teams, and Wayne is the
glue of the Triangle-area technology scene.  Abe is venturing out with his
first startup, addressing work patterns and productivity.  Clearly, this is
going to be a dynamite class.

If you're in the area and would like to attend, please do - the class is in
Manning Hall 304, Mon Nov. 24 from 6-8:30.  One thing I ask - if you're not
affiliated with UNC, please drop me a line and let me know you're coming.
I'll provide cookies and snacks.

Sean beat me to it, but chow at Baja is definitely on for tonight.
Even better, FIVERUNS IS BUYING. So if you'd like some tasty mexican
"on the house" and to get a chance to chat with Mike Perham about the
cool stuff FiveRuns has going on, come on out and partake.

FYI, I'm picking Mike up from the airport and heading straight to
Baja, but we might be a few minutes late. I'd suggest waiting to order
until after we arrive ;-)

See ya'll tonight,

Dave's Definitions: Morning, is after I've slept for more than four
hours. Lunch is the second meal of the day no matter the hour of
consumption. A long drive is one longer then you have last slept.
Ineffable, if you don't understand I couldn't possibly explain it.

We're working on getting a web page up this week. My travel schedule

Message-ID: <70EFA26B-A0FE-4C22-9B31-10EDD437B269@gmail.com>

I?m excited to announce that we are planning another Radiant CMS  
Sprint in December.

== What

A day-long hackfest to help finish some features for the 0.7 release  
of Radiant CMS. The official goals are?refactoring the admin  
controllers toward REST, continuing work on the new UI, adding  
blogging features, improving the extension registry, and writing more  
documentation.

== When

Saturday, December 13, 2008, 9:00am-6:00pm

== Where

Red Hat
1801 Varsity Dr
Raleigh, NC 27606
Map: http://tinyurl.com/redhat-raleigh

== Who

Members of the Radiant dev team and anyone else who wants to attend -  
hopefully you!

THIS IS NOT A CONFERENCE! The focus is on hacking out a lot of code/ 
design/documentation in a short amount of time. We encourage anyone  
who can contribute their code, web design, or writing skills to  
attend. If you?ll be coding, it would be good to have a working  
knowledge of Rails, RSpec, and Git ? bonus points if you?ve worked on  
Radiant before, built extensions, or have experience with RESTful  
controller design and web-services. If you are interested in helping  
with the design, it would be good to have a working knowledge of HTML,  
CSS, JavaScript, and image manipulation. If you want to do  
documentation, we expect you to be able to write clearly and use the  
Radiant wiki.

After the hackfest a group of us will probably go out to one of the  
nearby restaurants for some of the local fair.

If you plan to attend, please RSVP on the Raleigh Ruby Brigade's  
meetup page:

http://www.meetup.com/raleighrb/calendar/9235561/

Interested in sponsoring some food, drink, or swag for the attendees?  
Contact me or Sean Cribbs privately.

Would like to find a place to host it.

Any recommendations?

If you want managed hosting I would recommend Contegix http://www.contegix.com/ 
. If you want a cheaper DIY solution I would recommend Slicehost http://slicehost.com 
.  I have had great luck with both.

+1 for slicehost. Also have heard good things about http://linode.com  
(pretty much like slicehost, just more ram/storage for the same price).

The project I'm working on is using EngineYard, which is mucho  
expensivo, but they are very helpful and will work out a lot of  
sysadmin problems for you.

might be a good option: http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting.html

My opinion is a bit biased, but I'd recommend Linode.com.  Our web  
interface rocks and we do offer the most resources for your dollar.   
We also sponsored the Rails Rumble again this year which produced 100+  
awesome rails apps in less than 48 hours, all running on Linodes: http://railsrumble.com/

Feel free to contact us directly if you have any questions, or I'd be  
more than happy to answer them here as well.

Regards,
-Tom
