Sigh,
Can we get some MAC rumors this is absolutely ridiculous, the mac mini and iMac are over due for updates and you still prune the web for the smallest hint about a product that has just been re-released.
I realize your trying to generate traffic but this is getting increasingly low.
The front page is filled with iOS information and a little on FCP and the new Adobe suite.
Where are the MAC rumors. :mad:

It's for a great cause. Putting CPU/GPU cycles to good use. The whole points thing makes it kinda competitive and lures people in. lol.
Watch out for that motherboard. My 950 ran fine OC'd but committed suicide with the beastie 970.
i agree.
thanks, i will. i just have a 930 in it. and right now it's not OC'd that much

Part of the blame goes to Apple and their money grubbing ways, in that they want a 30% cut of gross sub $. This makes it far less attractive for publishers to do this. Also, I too would love a unified model, but I am sure Apple would also want a slice of the action here as well.
Please, this is the same or less then pay subscription resellers. Then they have to actually print out a copy and mail it to you.
People who know nothing about publishing should stop commenting on the 30%...

And Apple isn't litigious? What a joke? Apple is one of the more litigious tech companies out there. You compare them to Google, or IBM, or heck, even Microsoft recently, and they make them look like the Mother Teresa of patent generosity. Apple are as bad as Oracle, in my books.
Apple will sue anything left right and centre. Remember their patents on things like "multi-touch", or "touchscreen phones".
Victor, you say that, but where is the evidence. Sure they have ridiculous patents, but you have to do that the way the patent system is setup in the US. However, where has Apple used its patents offensively against anybody, except HTC, in the recent past? Can you provide some links?
Google is really good about not suing people. But MSFT? They just sued Barnes And Noble! in the past week.
http://www.thinq.co.uk/2011/3/22/microsoft-sues-barnes-noble-android-patents/
And comparing to Oracle....hmm....
Seriously, you need to provide some evidence, for this litigious nature of Apple's.
Note: I am distinguishing between patent lawsuits and trademark infringement lawsuits. Trademarks can be lost if you don't actively defend them. Not the case for patents. So actually sending trademark infringement notices is a precondition to protecting them, which makes all companies (including Google) far more trigger happy with Trademark infringement based legal action.

Looks like I'll be making a stop at the AT&T store before work on the 24th. It's stupid that they are prohibiting employees from buying it when we won't get the phones till that morning anyway, and its not like Best Buy loses money off employees since I have to pay the exact same as everyone else.
Whatever
Isn't Best Buy participating in the pre-ordering program on June 15th? Apple Stores are, as is AT&T. At both places, the phones will be ready for pickup on the 24th ---AT&T promises front-of-the-line, no waiting for pre-ordering customers. Of course, you have to pay for it when you order it, but. . .

all i know, i want one when it comes out.
:D
Yeah about that. While I reserve the right to change my mind, I just dont see myself getting one when they come out. But then again, stranger things have been known to happen, and the thing could just be oozing sex... Lets just say its gonna take a lot to make me fork out an extra $179 (in addition to the $300 the phone might cost) to terminate my current contract :(

Only question. Why?
Some say Apple need to buy Netflix. Have those of you even considered what Netflix charges for monthly streaming?
$8
Apple will never let customers eat that much for so little. The day Apple buys Netflix, DVDs would stop, and streaming would go up to $30 a month.
Promised.
Ya. Just like Apple went pro-consumer with $.99 songs instead of buying the entire CD. Apple is not good for the consumer. Nopes. Trust me, its not.

Any idea if this will work under 10.5.8? My boot rom matches up, but I haven't upgraded to SL because I don't want to break the functionality of my Duel Adapter to read/copy Panasonic P2 cards - essentially my reason for getting this model, the last 15" w/ an express card slot!
Thanks,
David

My Xbox 360 still works great even though the new one has been announced and they are not making me buy it :)
Though someone who wants and HDMI 360 and a bigger hard drive has a version they can buy now. I don't see what's wrong with that. More options for the customer....people wanted it and Microsoft gave it to them. They could have done a few more things but overall it's an upgrade.
The biggest news to me is this:
"A standalone $179.99 HDD also ships April 29. This package includes one 120GB HDD, software, and a specialized cable to port data from a user's current hard drive to the new one."
I can upgrade my hard drive , TRANSFER MY CURRENT DATA FROM THE 20GB HARD DRIVE, and start downloading a lot more from the Marketplace. That's excellent!
I am with you. More options for the customer is always good.

You can report it later. Give them details in the comments section.

Very cool, but I love the contrast of the screen with the blam bezel.
The White iPad 2 is pure butter. Id love to see the iP5 have a similar design (back to the Aluminum backing)

Why on earth does anyone care about such a trivial matter?
What difference does some actors presence within an Ad make?
None really... If Apple were to switch it all up tomorrow and replace Justin and John with two different actors, it would all work just fine. The only real catch is that their replacements better do just as good of a job or better. And that catch is bigger than one might think... Apple is willing to pay a lot of money to keep these guys doing this because it works. As soon as they try it with someone else, they're taking a gamble and would probably feel more comfortable changing the whole ad campaign if it involves new actors... And I don't think they're ready to do that just yet. They'll milk this one for all it's worth.

Well, on a 256kbps stream (not sure if the music would get re-encoded or if the service would allow you to select bitrate) you would use about 112.5 MB per hour of streaming. If you had a 30 minute commute each way to work, you are looking at (roughly) going over your allowance in a month (AT&T USA) without any other data usage. (60 mins x 20 days = 2,250MB ).
I'm not sure this is sustainable unless the telecom providers stop putting small data caps on usage...
That is quite the assumption. Logic would suggest they would transcode your music (or give the option at least) to something like 32-64 Kbps when using 3G / 4G.
So let's say you're right, and it streams at some lower kbps. So this service would offer you the ability to hear degraded music... when you have internet access... And it'll use up your monthly data (assuming it's 3G rather than wifi).
This is better than an iPod/iPhone... How? Or not even better -- this is a useful supplement how?
I just really don't get it. You give up control, bit rate, and independence from the Internet and get...?

I am still not sure if the picture is just playing tricks on my eyes but when comparing the pictured MacBook pro in that banner to mine and the ones on the Apple website they do appear the be diffenrent.
That would be nice.
I agree, the speaker grills are definitely smaller...good sign for me at least, I'm waiting on a new MacBook Pro!
HOWEVER, that part of the banner is a little crumpled over. You can tell by the ripple that it is folded back a bit and would make the grills appear to be smaller. Not sure if it's that, though. Hard to tell!
I wish whoever took the picture would have just run into the room and snapped a few more!

I'm hardly an Apple-hater :rolleyes:
That, combined with Apple apparently no longer giving a crap about the Mac (classic Pirates of Silicon Vally manoeuvre - putting the iOS team up against the Mac team) have screwed everyone over.
Remember, Apple is supposed to be a company that makes computers (as in desktop/laptop). However it now seems they are a Mobile Devices company, with a side-project (the Mac). This is Steve's doing.
Mac.
I think, when you look at your stance on mac, you are very right. Apple has indeed lost a bit of focus on the macs, to my opinion. especially when you look at adopting innovations there, they're lagging behind.

The 11" is the true successor to the 12" PowerBook, simple as that. I had one of the original BlackBook's, and while it was an immense step up power-wise, it never felt as portable as the 12" PB did. The 11" Air brings the best of both worlds.

How to track Using iPod +Nike,
1st, go to the gym,then find out who's not good at running,
2nd, make sure that the person you plan to follow is reallly not good at running, or else you'll tire easily trying to maintain the 60 feet distance.:confused:
