all of this makes the entry level pb look pretty good! a smaller screen may be an acceptable trade-off for now.

You can't possibly mistake it for an interlacing problem. That's ridiculous. I've done tons of work with video compression, and it's not even close. Look, for 90% of us, it's a …

My screen doesn't look like the pic that VisualForces posted. I don't see the lines that are being discussed. Here is what my screen looks like at native resolution. Jim

Is that a photo or a screenshot? This issue is with the physical LCD panel, so it will only show up in an actual photo.

Ok. Here is a photo at a slight enlargement. Still no lines. Jim

jfelbab, I think you have the lines. I zoomed in quite a bit on your photo to make sure I wasn't just seeing the lines on my own display, and they are definitely present in the ph…

Someone over at MacRumors found out that the problem is caused by alternate rows of pixels being slightly darker. He checked this by creating a solid color photoshop file and then …

Yep, I see the lines.

i can see it too. i guess people who are not used to seeing that deep or even looking for the lines wouldn't have found them. ignorance is bliss in this case. i just got a friend t…

Foosh, thanks for posting that. The lines definitely aren't there. A co-worker of mine has the older 17" PB and there are no lines...the screen looks great. I talked to differe…

I don't see white pixels in his suit, but I see mottling--it looks to be part of the image. Again, I'm usually using the PowerBook from 1ft. or 2ft. away. Can't see it. I mean, it'…

Yeah...I checked it out on an older 17" and I see the white specs a little, but not as bad...probably part of the compression that gets exaggerated on a laptop screen. After doing…

Fusion, your healthy dose of pragmatism is appreciated. But the bottom line is that a professional-grade notebook, with a (presumably) professional-grade display, should not hav…

I seem to be having a problem with GCC & XCode 2.1. I've been using XCode 2.0 for awhile, but I figured it was time to upgrade to XCode 2.1 I'm currently working on my own pe…

gcc_select lets you choose the version to use.

Thanks! I switched the compiler to GCC 3.3, and everything works now!

Forum index still shows zero replies for this thread. Stupid. Edit: Fixed now I guess.

Participated in a BMW Club Day down in Spartansburg, SC this past weekend. Thought it was a pretty awsome experience. Got to drive M3/M5/330's around their track and learned som…

Sounds like an awesome day and a lot of fun. Volvo had something similar this past May at Foxborough Stadium. MY wife attended. They used the XC 90.

Sounds great man. Take any vid? I'm definitely going to do something like that at some point in my life.

Skid pad? I thought it was a skid pan. I did the full course a full years back. Great fun ... although I did the Audi one a few weeks later and got bitten by 4 wheel drive.

Bitten or smitten?
