Pat's right on the money. To create the chemical reaction that releases light from the phosphors in the backlight tubes, a certain specific number of free electrons are needed which come from the cathode in the tube.
When the current is first applied to the cathode, it takes some time to get up to that level. When it does, it often overshoots the mark and then quickly stabilizes at a lower level. This appears as a brief initial flash of light that quickly dims.
At that point there are enough free electrons in the tube to sustain the reaction that generates light, but in the first few seconds and even minutes of the reaction, there are still phosphors that can accept an electron that are not being filled. You might say that there is a glut of electrons. Eventually, the supply and demand sides of the curve meet and you get the final result.
The same thing happens with CRTs, that's why graphics designers are supposed to turn their monitors on at least fifteen minutes before they start working, for color-matching purposes.

This question just popped into my mind. I saw a post today which was edited by Doctor Q because of a simulated signature. I don't know what the sig was but this got me thinking.
I'm wondering, are Tapatalk sigs like "Posted from my iPhone using Tapatalk" allowed? The forum rules don't really specify this in my opinion:
Simulated signatures. Signatures must be set in the User Control Panel and not simulated within posts, so that other members can choose whether or not to display them. You may not use automated software such as FoxyTunes Signatunes to insert content into your posts. You may use a salutation, i.e., put your name or user name at the bottom of your post.

Personally, I like to let other people know when I'm posting from my iPhone because often my replies are short and not very detailed.

Okay, I have a pair of Klefs that I want to hook up to an iBook. Now, they don't use RCA-connectors; just normal speaker wire. I remember seeing an adaptor for about $50 a while backt which you plug the standard speaker wire into and at the other side it provides a mini interconnect which plugs into the iBook. Anyone know of this? A link would be much appreciated!

The title pretty much says it all. I am currently using a jailbroken iPhone 4, although I only have a few minor things really (biteSMS, LockInfo's InfoShade and notification icons, Weather Icon, stuff like that). I'm creating an iPhone app for a school project and I'm almost done... Now I've decided I'd like to submit it to the App Store.
So my question is... Once I buy the $99 membership, will I be able to test the app on my phone without any problems? It's just a simple tableView app, if that makes any difference.
Basically I just want to test it on my phone, then submit it to the App Store just like normal. When I try to search for this subject on Google, all I get is stuff about bypassing the App Store... talking about manually signing, etc... and that's not what I want. I just want to officially submit an app, and also put that app on my phone, without doing any "workarounds" or anything abnormal.
Thanks!

do you mean ipad? or ipod touch?
in any case, both support skype. the ipad does not support skype outgoing VIDEO calls, as there is no camera - however with todays impeding updates this is likely to not be true (the ipad is rumored to have a front facing camera).
other then that, you can make voice calls just fine :)

... well, actually selling it to my Bro. I wanted to wipe out the iBook, and put a clean install of OS X in it, but, restore disks are nowhere to be found --- DAMN! :mad:
Question... If I were to buy OS X Panther, will those be OK? Will they allow me to do everything the original disks did (change Admin, passwords, etc.) or am I S.O.L?
I called Apple for the restore discs, and they wanted 100+ for the original discs. For OS X Jaguar?! That's insane, when I can buy OS X Panther for the same amount of money!
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, Thank You! :D

It was good.
It has a strong message.
Stay away from women because they'll make you drink, then you'll lose everything and eventually, you'll have to buy flowers to beg your mom to let you move back home.
Haha!

Hey everybody, thanks for the help. You have answered my questions. I do have one more though. After I rip a CD, then put it on my ipod, and I delete the CD from my itunes memory, why is it that when I plug my ipod back in, that CD (and playlist) are gone from my ipod? I guess the question is: Once I rip a CD, do I have to keep it in itunes? Thanks

If you don't see the drive appearing at all in Disk Utility when booted from the install DVD (as opposed to the drive appearing, but with no volume listed under it), there's a very good chance that the hard drive failed. It could theoretically be a different piece of hardware, but that's much less likely. You can also bring up System Profiler, select the Serial ATA section, and see if anything shows up connected to the port.
If you have a USB-SATA converter or toaster-style drive dock laying around, the easy way to confirm would be to remove the hard drive, hook it up to another computer via that, and see if anything shows up. The hard drive is easy enough to pull, and you'll have to do that anyway, so it's an easy experiment to try if you have access to the hardware. If you don't, it's cheap (you can find docks or adapters for around $30), but you'd have to wait for it to show up, so maybe that's not the most efficient option.

I love my 4G Touch, but I worry that I might squish it. It is so thin. When traveling, I usually carry my iPod in a pouch in my backpack. There are usually a few heavy books in the bag as well. Now, it is seems possible for the weight of the books to bear on the iPod in such a way that it damages it. It might seem far-fetched, but I've incapacitated a Garmin GPS unit in this way. So, I'm looking for something that'd provide some sort of protection against this. I'm mostly worried about the glass screen, as it seems like it'd be the weakest link here. I suppose I'm not after a case, per se, more of a protective shell or tote bag. Anybody know of anything good?
Plan B is to use the case that the iPod came in. But I'm not sure if it will fit after I put a Grip Vue on it.

1. Does anyone know how to get the voice and video portions of Yahoo Chat to work on a mac? Is that possible?
2. For some reason, my computer can't find a keychain for me, and it constantly asks me if I want to create one. No matter how many times I say "yes, please create a keychain," there never seems to be one. Any ideas on why and how to fix?
Oh, one more...
Apple, when they reformatted my hard drive, misspelled my name on my Users account. Does anyone know how to change that account info?

You are correct. They sell a bare bones VPC ($120?) you can use if you already own Windows. Hmm...I wonder if one could install a PC Linux distro on VPC--just for the hell of it.

I have to admit, I've been an adament PC user for a very long time, ever since the days of Windows 3.X. As a kid I always wanted a mac, but I ended up with a Pentium 120 MHz instead. Since then, I've steadily made my own PCs, but recently at my IT support job at college I had my choice of computers to use, and I chose an old G4 Cube. Upon getting a two-button mouse, I have to admit OS X has been a joy to use, and an ease with X11 and my engineering classes.
As I see it, Windows is headed in the wrong direction. Windows XP is solid and crash resistant, but with the hassle of a registry and the complication of uninstalling some applications, its not a smooth experience... especially when you have semi-annual formattings to maintain proper speed. The amazing thing I've found in the mac world is that operating systems actually improve speed and performance. This may not be true in the future thanks to the G5, but its still amazing none-the-less.
With this said, I just purchased a 1.8 GHz G5 powermac with a Radeon 9600. I'm sure it will be a world of improvement over the cube I'm use to, once I actually receive it. I was very impressed by the simplicity of my iPod... so I hope my experience will be just as good with the tower. I still find it ironic that I'll be using a Microsoft mouse and keyboard since Apple won't make two-button mice or ergonomic keyboards ... but I guess I'll just have to live with that.
Now to find some equivalent speakers to the Apple Pro Speakers and I'll be happy...

As stated by spymac: The current iMac line may soon be shaken up and reconfigured, recent rumor and public information suggests.
Just weeks after confirming the discontinuation of the 15" Studio Display, retailers known to Spymac have come forward claiming continued difficulty receiving the low-end iMac CD-RW.
"This is the second delivery in a row that the [iMac CD-RWs] did not come through from Ingram Micro," says one reseller. "They're still available for order but are not arriving."
Although DigiTimes recently reported that 15" iMacs would be discontinued in October, Spymac sources confirmed that none of the other iMac configurations are experiencing ordering irregularities.
Earlier this month, Apple dropped the price of the 15" CD-RW iMac by US$100, bringing its price to $1,199.
"The 17" model continues to sell great," concludes the reseller. "Perhaps this marks the beginning of an additional 17" model to the line?"
Current sources did not immediately respond to questions; more information as it becomes available.
Although I'm not in the market for a new desktop (my 15" iMac is doing fine:D )
I'm excited to see what changes are going to be made to the iMac. I hope the style stays for a while though, I'd hate to see them put out a whole new iMac until mid or late 2003.
