    It's not actually my setup - I just wanted to drop a link to it, since I believe it blasts most other peoples collections away :)

    Then, technically you are using his setup pics without his permission.
    The least you should do is put the original poster's name as credit.

    Ah, I didn't see that.

    It's hardly very prominent, considering this is meant to be a, potentially, very dangerous problem.

    Anyway, I can't be bothered to call Apple, I'll just wait and see how this all pans out.
    Yeah, not very eye-catching. It's the same size as the copyright info. Looks like some more insignifcant legal disclaimer stuff.

    Time for Apple to learn what a patch is. Best example of patching desperately being needed is Xcode which requires the whole 4.25gb app to be downloaded every single time they update. They could change 1 line of code and you need to download 4.25gb. That's just bad design.

    Store still down? Annoying or what?Yes very annoying! I'm trying to figure out the specs/prices for these. Btw, does anybody think the Apple would allow me to swap the MBs at Admore rather than going back to Christiana Mall in Delaware?

    Good: Notebook is only 30� C
    Bad: Fan blasting @ 6KRPM (really unnecessary, can't even use this in class without disturbing the rest of the people in there)

    I have a question.... what time does Apple release things, like Cupertino time??? I believe I heard it was nine, and if it is, then we still got another two hours of waiting

    Most people here are missing the big picture. I'm pretty old and have witnessed the changes in the tech sector. Back in '01 a lot of laptops were made or at least assembled in the USA, and they were quality products, but with cheap foreign labor most global companies could not resist the couple of percent they could add to their profit margins by moving overseas. The company I worked for made laptops for a major name, but they closed the plant here to save between 3.00 and 6.00 dollars per unit, a very small percentage of the overall value. A company like Apple could easily, make and assemble products here, the profit margin on an iPhone is around 60%, but if they did that then there profit margin would only be 50%. In 2000, American EXPORTED more high tech components than it imported. Here is the .gov source (http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c0007.html#2000). We have competed and still can. As the Yuan rises against the dollar because the Chinese government can no longer keep it down the price on all these goods will rise, this is happening right now, the Chinese government can't combat inflation and rising food prices. So, companies like Foxconn are forced to look for cheaper labor.

    One of the Mac screen savers will do mosaics of photos from a folder... it's kind of cool to watch them zoom out into a mosaic, but can get hypnotic... ;)

    Mine for today... from last summer's archives, since I've been somewhat dormant the last couple of weeks or so...

    some people just want an ipod for listening to music.
    not every apple user in the world needs all that iOS stuff.

    i'm really hoping for an ultimate classic model, but i'm being a bit hopeless.

    meantime I just bought a used 4g ipod classic 20gb for 30� (40$), it's wonderful :)

    The only usable iPod is the iPod Touch. The ClickWheel "interface" of the classic is a royal pain in the back when you have to navigate through thousands of titles. And even the interface of the iPod Touch could be much better if they dropped all those useless animations and transition effects that only achieve one thing: They slow me down. And that is especially dangerous when using the bloody thing while driving a car.

    Very often, I envy the people who have a USB port in their car radio; they just plug in a USB stick without all those unnecessary fancy things and they are not locked into the "iTunes experience" or any other DRM prison.

    Surely there's a place for a high capacity iPod. 32GB doesn't cut it. Even 64GB doesn't cut it.

    64 GB is six times the size of my current mp3 library. But I only keep the stuff that I actually like to hear. I'm no longer collecting full albums just because I can. It doesn't make sense to keep unnecessary things around just because you have the storage capacity for it. It's a waste.

    I just received my Mac Pro and started opening it up to see how it was put together. I wanted to know what parts Apple used. A Sony super drive and a Seagate SATA hard drive. I am adding pictures as I take them. More than what I posted before.

    How is that ironic (Miss Morissette)? :confused:

    Because this forum, one that expends an epic number of posts lambasting Microsoft and anything it ever does, simply has to conceed that's it's doing a good job in this instance. Microsoft, making the Apple experience, better.

    This is the correct one:

    I don't think it is mate. The one I posted a few posts up includes batteries up to August 2006 whereas that link of yours is only to 2005. That one again is:

    Can the laptop i7 processors self-overclock when possible?

    I think it's called Turbo Boost in the desktop processors.

    We're going to get a video nano... and then a month or two later a true video ipod.

    It's the standard apple jive... realease one that we want and then another that we want more.

    I will make a prediction right now that we'll never see a video nano. The screen is just too small. It might make an interesting curiosity, but not a viable product, IMO. The iPod video now is difficult enough. Of course, I'm rarely right on anything. :)

    I'll stick with my 5G video iPod until a widescreen iteration of the product becomes available next year or so.

    you can judge me all you want ... my family is both Canadian and American.

    I live on both sides of the border.

    sorry if I do not support everyone's Anti-American Military views.

    Cutting the Military is not for me ... Even though I would have to pay higher taxes, I'd rather scrap all these Government Casinos and Government Bookies we have up in Canada than reduce even one dollar in Military spending.

    We're not Anti-military, we're anti-spending billions on crap we don't need. Like extremely expensive fighter jets, as if we get into dogfights with the Taliban.

    More megapixels can mean equal or better quality at a larger resolution or worse quality at a larger resolution. It all depends on how they cram in the extra pixels. If they cram them into the same size sensor as a 5MP, then it would result in lower quality, but larger pictures. If they increase the sensor size, which would require a longer focal length, then you would have equal or better quality at a larger resolution. The problem with increasing the focal point is the iPhone's thin design. They would have to move sensor further away from the lens in order for it to focus properly. I believe Apple did go with a larger sensor in the iPhone 4.

    Instant classic. Well played, Apple. Well played.

    Assuming it is true. After all who is the source for the tale (actual name). Who is the husband. Lack of details is standard form for tabloids that are making up everything.

    I've always felt that WW2 was justified though the way we ended the war was unfortunate and un-necessary.

    I'm also generally in support of intervening to stop genocide/ethnic cleansing.

    Unnecessary Wars:

    Revolutionary
    War 1812
    Civil War
    Spanish American War
    WW1
    Korean War
    Vietnam War
    Desert Storm (Iraq 1.0) maybe necessary but easily avoided
    Afghanistan
    Iraq War

    Interesting list.

    I'd assume that you are also not a supporter of the USA's forays south of our border during the last century and a half.

    I wonder what Rand thinks about the sale of US military goods to foreign countries? Surely the sale of such, especially to militant countries like Iraq, Libya, Israel, etc, violates his sacrosanct policy of non-intervention.

    Android Phone Specs are out pacing the Iphone. An 8 Megapixel camera, bigger screen and more memory will keep me buying. IOS 5 with the rumored adobe flash would be great too.


    where was Flash rumored for iOS 5?
