Protip: That photo is in front of Doe Library, not Sproul Hall.

GUYS. More photons means more power, and Wired is ON IT.

FYI, the California Memorial Stadium renovation DECREASED capacity, not increased it. It did, however, SUBSTANTIALLY improve the facilities and available amenities.

EDIT: After reading the article more closely, I think what they mean is the capacity is increased over last year, when Cal played in AT&T Park, which had much lower capacity.

Well, I'll be wiping my phone if I'm ever approached by an officer. Hooray iCloud!

So is the State legislature not going to even try to overturn the veto?

It's like the predecessor of Kim Jong Il looking at things!

Re: TMUP 213: Mac OS X Snow Leopard – more System Preferences

Victor! I'm surprised you didn't know this! The menubar is not stuck on the lefthand monitor in the Display system preferences. You open up the display preference pane, grab the small illustration of the menubar in the prefpane, and drag it to whichever monitor-representation you want. You don't drag it to the other screen, just the other picture of the screen. See screenshot:

Not the most intuitive method, but it works.

Hey Victor, great video. I want to buy one of these for my mom's 24" iMac, but I can't find a link to buy them on their website. Any ideas?

Nice meeting you back at Macworld!

One more question…

I have seen in some reviews that the screen on the Sony is difficult to see, especially in sunlight. What are your thoughts on the issue?

Thanks for doing this review! It's really helpful since these are two of the three head units I am considering purchasing. One question. How does it handle podcasts? In the iPod connector of my Acura's stereo (not the car i will be putting this unit in), it doesn't even show podcasts. To get them to play, I have to unplug my iPhone (since you can't operate it with the iPhone, only the car) and start the podcast playing thru the speaker. Then plug it back into the car, where it will pick up. Obviously this is a huge inconvenience.

Thanks,

I've seen this before! It's even cooler if by chance you read it in order.

Re: TMUP 160: Mac Maintenance Refresh with Steve Stanger

I had big problems with 10.5.6.

I installed the delta updater, but fortunately i had done a TM and SuperDuper backup immediately before. When i tried to boot after the restart, it wouldnt boot. I tried holding down the Option Key, and macintosh HD didnt even show up as an option for booting. I booted from my SD backup, and ran disk util, and my recently acquired Drive Genius. I eventually found out that it had completely destroyed my filesystem. What i ended up having to do is reformat my drive, and use disk utility to restore my SD backup to my internal drive. I restored, and i was back up and running. I waited several weeks to update again, and didn't this weekend, and, thank goodness, it went off without a hitch. Thank God for SuperDuper!

Good thing i am paranoid about my backups. I have time machine running on its schedule, SuperDuper is run whenever i remember to do it (about every 2-3 weeks and right before an update comes out) Mozy Unlimited for my important files, documents, music, and irreplaceable pictures.

I can also officially say, that i tried to run the "always boot in verbose mode" on my jailbroken iphone in Mobile Terminal, and it did not change anything.

Love the Show victor, thanks, and congrats on your fourth year!
