Here is a good option for a two-for-one. Get a f/1.8 50 mm (~120$) for low light work and a reverser ring (~10 - 15$) to mount the 50 mm in reverse for macro work.
Reverse macro with a lens is not the best option, if you want a substantial amount of DoF, which would be required in the case of OP with his painted figures. Reverse macro is sharp at exactly one distance, the distance from the back lens element to the sensor when the lens is mounted normally and this distance doesn't change with focusing ... and DoF really is razor sharp.

transforming your wardrobe in a huge aquarium
You son of a gun!!!!!!!! Thats is simply wonderful!!!!!
You know, I used to have a marine aquarium! (160 Liters) But I had to sell it to pay many things of my house.
I will definetely do that! I have a huge wardrobe, I think I can make something really good! Perhaps a blue spotlight pointing to it would make it even better!
Loved the suggestion!

Superdrives in laptops...easy.
Getting it to be slot loading and under an inch thick? Give it a couple of years...
Unless the pb form factor changes back to pismo like days, no superdrive this year.

I am a recent (two weeks) convert from Windows and I'm having issues with When I select "Enter Time Machine" nothing happens. It's worked in the recent past; last week to be exact. Something's changed since then, but I've done so many things trying to get this Mac Air set up that it's impossible for me to know what caused this issue.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
I have an email account that uses the Gmail interface thing, for lack of a better phrase, but is not actually gmail.com. I want to add it to my Mail app but can't figure out how to do so. It seems as if I need to do some stuff with imap or pop or something like that? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

My reply in red.
Really two different things the OP needs. One he knows about, and one he doesn't.
First, a request for some clarification. You have a DSL modem that has a single Ethernet port on the back, right? Right! You stated "no wireless". I'm assuming that that's due to some kind of restriction - i.e. workplace or parents or whoever said "no wireless". Is this correct? Yes, it's a restriction. Or do you simply mean that your DSL modem doesn't have WiFi?
Anyway, if there is some "no wireless" restriction, then the wireless router one person suggested is out.
Does the DSL modem have NAT built in? Do you know what NAT is? (Do a little Wikipedia research...) NAT allows several computers to share a single Internet connection. It changes the packets going out to the Internet so that they all come from the same address. It also provides *some* firewall protection, in that incoming packets are only accepted if they match-up with an outgoing packet. By default, a NAT router won't accept any incoming connections. You can set it up to accept incoming connections, in that case you need to designate which computer to send them to for a given port.
This is of no concern to you unless you are running a server, etc. Not running a server. It's a AT&T DSL modem.
If your DSL modem does not have NAT, and also doesn't have some kind of firewall, then you are currently *very* vulnerable to attack. Ack! That's all I need to hear!
It would be useful to post your DSL modem model. Westell-black one! AT&T always asks, "the black or the gray," when I have to call.
If it does have NAT, then I'm a bit surprised that they didn't build in a small Ethernet switch and give you multiple Ethernet ports. If it does have NAT, then you should only need to add an Ethernet switch. Get a gigabit switch, which will make then connection BETWEEN your Macs very fast. (For copying files back and forth, etc.) For the Internet connection, gigabit is a non-issue, since Internet speeds are (typically) way below that of even a 100M switch.
If it doesn't have NAT, then you need a router or firewall. Think "wifi router without the wifi". It's a bit of a specialty product, because they are usually built into a WiFi device, cable modem, or DSL modem.
You can also look for a compatible DSL modem that has a built-in router and switch. So... I should look for another modem with a built-in router and switch? I don't intend to exchange files between the macs since one for one type of business and the other is for all my graphics.
You will have to check your provider's terms of service to see if it's OK to connect more than one computer. Generally, though, the provider won't be able to detect that you are using NAT, so won't know in any case.
Oiyvay! More waiting on hold! Maybe the best thing to do is connect and disconnect from the modem with whichever mac I happen to be using at the time?
It seems there are never easy answers for my questions.

But the real deal breaker for me was the lack of a physical pause button. I don't want to have to grab the nano, turn it on, aim for the pause button, before I can hear the outside world.
You could buy an inline remote if that was your only problem - I use this with my iPod Touch: http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/headphone-control-adapter
I think that should work with the nano too.

I'm really looking forward to inFamous 2. It's supposed to be released some time next year. The first one was so much fun, so I can imagine what they will do with the second one.

I only played the demo of the first one - a lot of feedback said the quests got repetitive after a while - I guess you didn't feel that way...?

I don't think so. As long as the store you go has that particular product in its inventory, they can swap it out within 14 days.
The 14 days won't apply here- this is a faulty product not an unwanted one. Apple have supplied you with something unfit for purpose, so you can exchange or refund, but the sooner the better. They should deal with you in store, they have with me.
For more specific advice you must tell us where you are- the rules change in different countries.

couple questions....
1. do firewire 800 drives see much of a speed increase in transfer speed? i know i've heard that because of the limited speed of the HD itself, it can't really saturate even fw400.... just curious if anyone has experience and can inform.
2. what's a good place to get such a drive (external of course)... i am just kinda looking into how much more they are than the usual drive... and haven't even had much luck finding many options.
thanks

Here is how to get it working without Java crap.
http://michelf.com/projects/multi-safari/
Just run Safari 4.05 :)
Works like it did b4.
Not sure about remote access to a lion host as I have not tested that.
awesome! been using that stupid java crap where my mouse is like 2 inches off.
and fyi accessing logmein on a lion host works but you need to make sure you have the host set to only go to screen saver and not sleep or sleep display. since lion now requires a physical mouse click to work logmein doesn't allow for waking the screen up and you can therefore not do anything. if it is just using a screen saver it works perfectly.

Minor video editing, get the macbook pro.
Pros on going with the Pro:
It was just refreshed
The 13" offers good enough work area to do minor video editing (I was running on a 12" Powerbook G4 for years before I had to sell it).
It's priced competitively if you're comparing the entry level 13" Pro to the Macbook and MBA.
It's still lightweight, even compared to your Dell notebook.
I know people are telling you to consider the Air but when I was comparing the two I still think the MBP is still the way to go if you're going to perform some editing (Photo or Video). At times I feel some jitter/lag when editing photos on the MBA 11" and 13" base models. People might tell you to go towards the Ultimate for it to perform better but at that point you can upgrade your MBP to outperform the MBA for less.

I'm a bit behind and just now watched the interview, but I do love watching someone so gifted and passionate about his job. I really liked how he stressed over and over that their (Apple's) main goal is make the 'Best product ever'. Really liked the part about Flash being a descending technology and they are more interested in ascending tech. I don't work in tech and do not know the validity of that, but I understand what he means and I for one tend to trust Apple in the future of tech gadgets.
