Well, C2Ds have been shipping for that long, and Apple is the only notebook manufacturer who has not even announced! (Lenovo's announcement Monday left Apple as the sole hold-out.)
So, yes, they are "falling behind." (And that's if they announce within the next couple of weeks - if they wait until MWSF, it's just embarassing!)
:(

I agree and I think this is a big deal because this sets the tone for how Apple plans to update systems in the future.
Will they update to keep pace with the PC manufacturors? Or will they stick to the same old product update cycle that they established with the PPC.(ie updates around MWSF, WWDC, Paris Expo, etc.)
The jury is still out but if the MacBook Pro core 2 duo isn't released prior to Thanksgiving then they might as well wait until MWSF and announce a major re-design with santa rosa chipset and new GPUs. After all it will be too late for the holiday buying season anyway.

wonder how this effects people(me) with a 4-5 week window that ordered last week ?
You can answer that question best.
Check your order status. If nothing has changed, well, you have your answer.

Yep! I think Apple nailed itself on this one, it they arent gonna come out with iPhone 4 this summer, this will be a way to increase sales until then. Besides, its like the Wii getting a new color and everybody goes crazy for it bcus its the first time they've done it.
I think the next iPhone won't be called the 'iPhone 4' that would be confusing.
Maybe they will call it the 'iPhone 4 II'
So what will happen? I guess its just avoiding competition, last year you guys remember all those Android phones coming out? Evo 4G, Galaxy S, Droid Incredible? By moving it they'll have more room during the holidays, iPhone is the new iPod these days.
Seriously, I don't think you youngin's get it.
Apple doesn't compete with anyone.
They just do their own thing.
Really.
For the first fifteen years they didn't even have commercials.
Then when they did, they just did them for fun.
You see how they show them off at the keynotes.
They are so proud of them. They don't even try to sell the product.
They just point the camera at the new thing and spin it around.
And Cut!
They don't care about Android, they don't even care about stock prices or profits.
I have never seen any change in how they act.
The first 10 years of Apple's existence they were drowning in money
Then in the mid nineties they had only a little to work with.
Now they are drowning in money again
I saw no change in their behavior at all.
They just make fewer mistakes now.
And as always, they do their own thing.

Wow, must be a slow news/rumor day.
Refuting rumors that were 90% impossible to be true.
This just in, the rumor the iPad 3 will have a back screen as well as a front are being refuted by the manufacturers.
Its simply not true!
Haha, that would be a pretty cool rumour though

Well not too excited if it is like what it is described. Nothing sensational.
On the other hand, this could be achieved through MobileMe, easily. Just created apple script to copy data whenever new data is added. :|
OR Dropbox OR amazon disk. :|
I hope Apple does something different.

If the employees want to keep their jobs and the store's good standing relationship with Apple, they won't willingly tell you about an unannounced product. Plain and simple. That's how they're trained to respond and they're not going to tell you a secret just because you asked nicely.
Yeah that's definitely a valid point. I'm hoping that's whats going on, certaintly seemed like that was the case with the Apple store employee I spoke with.
You'd think apple would make an announcement by now if it was really going to be released tomorrow. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Agreed about facial recognition. It is just good enough to be tempting to use, but, not good enough to really automate the process-- very frustrating. It works OK with certain people, especially people over 40, but, not well at all with children.
YMMV. The first pass I made through iPhoto with facial recognition it picked up most of the current pictures of me (over 40) and matched photos of me from scanned family photos from my childhood. Does a remarkable job distinguishing my 3 kids, who look a lot alike, after a few iterations of "teaching" it.

I figured they were talking about network traffic as well. Where would they get the road traffic information from users? I'd like to see a quality turn-by-turn navigation feature become a standard offering and improved traffic info would be a nice plus.
I didn't interpret it as network traffic. What would be the purpose of "a crowd sourced traffic service"? If the goal is to provide "an improved traffic service", how does that relate to network traffic? Tell Apple which hotspots are overloaded? With what end goal?
On the other hand, I don't know how Apple could be accurately collecting vehicle traffic data without pinpointing the location of your iPhone (e.g. on a local highway) so I guess there's room for interpretation.
As for turn-by-turn GPS, I just bought Navigon and I'm quite pleased with it so far.

Its an ad people, relax.
They spent $500 (if they actually bought it) to make this ad. That's nothing.
Some companies spend millions of dollars on a 30 sec ad. You guys can seemingly only justify money paid to actors, but not money spent on a relatively cheap physical prop.

I don't ask for much in this world, but please let this remain picture free. The "Sharing a joke" thread I began yesterday evening was closed quickly ... if pictures of the piercing appear here and survive, my only question will be, "What is more entertaining -- jokes that make you laugh or pics with the power to turn a stomach?"
To each his own.Yes, but that was spam to entertain a bored member.
This is spam to torture a MR member, which doesn't get closed as quick -- at least until it goes way off topic.

um....what didn't you understand? There was FUD about android being fragmeneted, yet two releases make up 90% of the install base. Ok, what stats would you like to deal from? otherwise stop running your jib when your obviously just regurgitating what you read here.
Did you read what I actually wrote? Your statistics are not complete. And then there is the fact that Google considers fragmentation to be a major problem.
More importantly, fragmentation is not only about OS version. It's also about UI and hardware features.

At Apple's prices, it's hard to understand how any business can justify switching to Xserve. Sorry, but I can buy several Dells with the same CPUs and RAM for what Apple is charging. This is unbelieveable. I canb buy SuperMicro or Tyan 1U barebones and assemble all the remaining CPUs/components myself and set it up in about 2 to 3 hours and probably still come out 1/5th the price of the Xserve. This just makes absolutely no sense at all.
Let me just check if I get this right: For $760 you can build a server with two dual-core 2.66 GHz Core2 Duo chips, where the chips alone cost >$800 each. You can add three 750GB drives for $140 each, and a 7 TB RAID server for another $2600. Cool. You take orders?

I don't understand how he can say "the facts are different."
The only fact that I personally care about is the fact that IF I touch my hand to the bottom antenna - my signal drops DRAMATICALLY. That is not something I am imagining -- it is FACT.
I realize not everyone suffers from this problem. But the FACT IS -- I DO.

Actually I usually can go about 3-4 days with my iPhone 4 without recharging. More if I pushed it. Managing what you do with it really helps. I don't watch videos on it and don't do a lot of network traffic so that really extends the battery life. I found that videos, games, and GPS are the biggest battery drains followed by net activity.
Well, obviously. It's all about your usage time. You can make it last 3-4 days where I might have to charge mine every night, but when we're both down at 0% we'll have roughly the same usage times (~8 hours)
