    Got my new 70-200 f/2.8 IS II today

    I have this lens and I love it!! It is a bit heavy when I add it to my D700 with the grip but it is just so freaking sharp that I can't help but love it. I just finished shooting indoor volleyball with it and it was spot on. Enjoy it and post some shots. Have fun!!! Don

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Predators (+ Digital Copy)

    I had the same problem with my Oppo 83. It took forever just to start playing the coming attractions then finally got to the start screen so I could hit play. Then nothing....... It even locked up the machine to the point that I had to hold down the power button to get it to shut off. I...

    Really Impressed with Linux

    I fight that malware almost everyday in my business. It is actually very easy to remove. Here is what you do. 1. Boot into safe mode with networking. Just hit f8 repeatedly as the computer starts to boot. 2. Once you are in safe mode log in as administrator if available. 3. Get on the...

    How's the Eye-Fi SD card? Anyone used it, have opinions?

    I have one of the new ones and it works just fine. It geo tags my photos and uploads them to my laptop. Given the fact that my MacBook Pro doesn't have a SD card reader, this is a very nice feature. It is also nice because when you take a shot you can see it on the laptop screen to make...

    Apple's January 27, 2010 Media Event Discussion Thread

    Now that was one of the funniest things I have seen in a long while. I was really excited about a new device from Apple today as well. Unfortunately, this is not what I was hoping for. Now if they would come out with this form factor with a real computer inside that can run my applications...

    Advice needed for new computer

    800 mhz would be just fine for what you will use the computer for. However, I would suggest getting a little more computer than you think you may need so you can grow into it. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. You may decide later to do video etc. Then you may...

    Advice needed for new computer

    I just got a really nice HP desktop for a customer just a week ago for $579. It was a quad core, 6 or 8 gigs of ram and I think it had a terabyte drive @7200 RPM. It included Windows 7 64 Bit. Plus all the other normal amenities. We got it from office max. Hope this helps. Don

    Help please

    You may also want to update your BIOS and make sure your boot order is set to boot from the Hard Drive first. I haven't seen this particular issue but I have seen where even having an external hard drive installed via USB, will make a Windows XP box hang on boot. Fixing issues like this in the...

    Magic Mouse announced

    I took it back this morning. They said there was something wrong with it but since they were out of stock they couldn't just replace it. I am going to try again later, after they come out with Windows 7 drivers. Looks like it is back to my trusty Logitech. Don

    Help troubleshoot network connection

    Have you tried resetting the router by pressing the button on the back? I have had issues with mine from time to time. Mostly all I have to do is power it off for 5 minutes and let it clear its memory. 1 time I had to reset the entire thing. A trick I learned a while back is to give your...

    Magic Mouse announced

    I downloaded the update from the Apple site yesterday hoping to fix some other strange issues. I can try uninstalling it 1 more time. This just feels like it needs a few more updates to really get it right. I have been doing more research online and the issues with this mouse are well...

    Magic Mouse announced

    I finally gave up. I came home today and now the mouse doesn't want to work again. I try to scroll and it takes about 3 seconds to respond. I try to move the mouse across the screen and it shutters and lags. I have had enough of this. One minute it works and the next it doesn't. I am taking...

    Michael, that is so weird that you are having problems with the swiping feature. That is the one issue that I have not had. I just barely move my fingers to the left or the right and it swipes. I wonder if you may have gotten a bad mouse. Did you use one at the Apple store before you bought...

    Magic Mouse announced

    All is right with the world today. I uninstalled the mouse and reinstalled it and now it works great again. I haven't tried it with Fusion yet. I am kind of afraid to since I don't want it to screw up again. Apple is supposed to be coming out with drivers to fix these issues. I have noticed...

    Magic Mouse announced

    OK, now I don't know what is going on. The new mouse was working fine. I opened VM Ware Fusion 3 and now the mouse is very jerky. Even after restarting it is doing the same thing. Very discouraging since it was working just fine. This makes no sense at all. I am going to play with it some...

    I have a 30 inch monitor and without changing the tracking speed it was a little difficult to move across the screen. All I did was set the tracking speed to fast and it was no longer a problem. Don

    Magic Mouse announced

    I just got mine from our local Apple store here in Ft. Worth. The mouse is awesome. At first I thought the left and right swiping was going to be a bit awkward and I would have to chase the mouse around my desk. However, that is not at all how it acts in reality. The weight of the mouse...

    Migrating files from one iMac to another

    you could simply boot into windows 7 cd and start the install from there. when your system needs to reboot just make sure you hold down the option key and select windows (not the cd). it will finish the install and your done. During the setup process you will be asked which partition you want...

    W-LAN problem.

    I agree. There is no way a signal from the cable company can shut down your router. It may be getting hot or the power supply is going out. If you want to test it, try removing everything from the router other than the power. Then if it shuts down again you will know for sure it is just the...

    Time for an official Snow Leopard thread

    I'm not sure if this will help anyone else but after talking with Apple for almost an hour my Mac Pro is running like lightning with SL. My MP is only 3 months old and has never been the speed demon I was hoping for. I was told to wait for SL and 64 bit to really turn on all the power. My...

    Easy way to export playlist from iTunes?

    This is what I do when I have to move or copy iTunes music from one place to another. Open Finder, open Music, open iTunes. Now you will see a folder called iTunes Music. You can either grab that folder and copy it or you can open it and select the songs and copy them. I usually do the later...
